That is a fair point. It has been a complete pain in the ass to get to 3466 and it still doesn't boot consistently. 3200 and 3333 were easy though.

Any of the 3200c14 or 3600c16/17 Samsung b die kits should get you a good increase but I'm not convinced it's worth the money. Although you could sell your old ones I guess. Do be aware there are one or two who have failed 3200 even with b die so it's not a dead guarantee.

Maybe focus on tightening your timings for now?

well i'm currently running a 1800X at 3.9ghz @ 1.30V

ram is: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...-channel-kit-grey-tdged416g300-my-089-tg.html

money is not a problem. can always put this in my second rig (X99 currently running 2666)

however i need my PC stable, 3200 safer bet?
 
I have the g Skill 3600c17 stuff. It's all about the b-die, there won't be that much between them as most will do 3200 at a tight CAS 14 or 3466 at a looser CAS14. They all cope with a good whack of voltage too, the bigger problem at that point is the IMC of the chip.

8 packs ones the ones to go for if you not bothered about RGB

^ any of these will run 3200 c14 on ryzen given a decent imc and cache. all my cpu can do at least 3200mhz. all are samsung b die gaurenteed and high bin.

i'm in a fractel design c silent edition, cant see anything anyway :)

2 q's
regarding
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08q-tg.html

1) how low profile are they? cant see any Height listed on your ram, would be nice to add for cooler compatibility (ideally only got 32mm to play with, but can go to 64mm)

2) does the high speed kits come with multiple "XMP/DOCP" profiles? say 3600 fails is their a second profile with 3200?

i'm not a fiddler, just want to set and forget.
 
The higher kits you want to run 3200 just set 14-14-14-14-31 in bios 3200Mhz and 1.375v. Reboot done.

No they only come with single xmp but all work like this.

The review on vortex covers the height. I am not sure off the top of my head. On the dark pro the top fine can be removed using two screws to save a further 5mm or so.

found it, will look into few more reviews 2933 vs 3200 :)

for reference
the DARK Pro memory modules are much lower than the stylised Night Hawk or Xtreem modules, measuring up at a reasonable height of 45-46mm

looks like 38mm without the fins stack
 
I've had my new AMD rig for ~ 2 months now (Very happy with it and all bought from OCUK along with free haribo.. Win), I had been running my 1600 @ 3.6 1.22vcore for last few weeks - mainly for lower temps/not really playing demanding games at moment kind of reasons.

Had a play today again with 3.8 @ 1.30vcore and currently got it stable with 3.725 @ 1.224vcore - trying to find a nice point between temps/perfromance gain until I can either re-seat stock cooler or replace with something better (no idea what/whether to replace at minute).

Until building this PC, the last PC I build was an old AMD64 Athlon 3500+ system and recently have just had my laptop to contend with which again is quite old. Everything about this all is new to me and has been fun learning along the way.

I downloaded the 3DMark demo from steam and have run the timespy benchmark,

With 1600 @ 3.8 I get CPU score 5975 (overall 4491 - GPU 4303)

@ 3.725 I get CPU score 5930 (overall 4485 - GPU 4301)

Also did a Firestrike 1.1 run @ 3.725:
Score 11814 - Graphics: 13782, Physical: 16021, Combined: 4794.

I get the 'better than xx% of results' bit, but no breakdown to where I sit system builds wise - I'm guessing I have to buy for that?
What I'm kindly asking is, is my scoring where it should be? roughly

Rest of spec is in sig below.

Compare yours to this list
http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode...u/fs/P/2228/1092/19239?minScore=0&cpuName=AMD Ryzen 5 1600&gpuName=AMD Radeon RX 480
 
Cheers, should have looked on site a bit better I guess :P

Going off scores for CPU and GPU clocked around mine, I'm sitting about right. Re-ran with 'Texture Filtering Quality - Performance' and scored 11916 in firestrike @3.7 clock, which puts me at 152 on that list, which I'm happy about.
Was mainly wanting to make sure its all working as should, I've only moved back to 3.7 as I was getting wierd lag in cs:s and no other player confirmed server lag so dropped to a 'round' number and slightly upped voltage to 1.248 in bios. Doubt it was anything to do with this but never know.

i had weird stutter in BF1, which seems to related to clock/Volts
 
Ah, was weird.
I had run OCCT for 45mins with no fault prior, all the same it wasn't there when I went back into game.
Only other hardware thing I changed was memory, I'm using profile XMP2, puts memory at 2933(?) , I had upped to 3003 and left voltage et all at auto. I changed that back to 2933, memory is DDR4 3000, so either/or settings I'm happy with though would obviously like more than less.

Last question for now :), is it safe to reactivate amd cool n quiet after the overclock?

Cheers

Got my new Ryzen 7 1700 & MSI Carbon x370 Mobo the other day, been playing around with an overclock, with 16gb DDR 4 RAM at 3066mhz

I can pretty easily get a stable 3.9ghz overclock at 1.38v, with max temps around 68c on air cooling using Prime95

ON my last intel build I had my overclock settings so that it would power up & down depending on usage, any help as to what settings I should use with my new AMD build to achieve the same thing?

at the moment its just constantly sat at 3.9ghz 1.38v, when it doesn't need to be all the time?

AMD cool and quiet should do this

Ah okay do I enable this in the bios? edit: I enabled it but all the cores are still constantly running at 3.9ghz?

Also since putting my new rig together, it seems a second slower than my old intel i5 build, like just clicking things, opening windows etc, windows animations, chrome loading web pages, everything is a second or so slower?

Can you use offset voltages or is it only manual?
 
So I ended up getting a Ryzen 1200 and a Gigabyte B350 board along with 8GB corsair vegence ram. This set up ran perfectly, with the memory running at 2933 using the XMP setting in the bios. Idle temps were around 36-40c.

Problem is that I've added a another 8GB of the same memory but this causes the computer to get stuck in a boot loop (from a cold boot after powering on it turns off, restarts about 3 times then boots normally) until it gets to Windows - but the memory speed ends up at 2133. I've also noticed that temps are around 33-35c at idle. Even manually changing the memory profile to 2400 gets me into a loop and a reset.

Is there much of a difference between the memory speeds? The system is stable as it is, with OCCT running for a couple of hours without a problem. I'd like to get the speed up but am wondering what the actual increase would be in terms of gaming?

Also, what kind of temps should I be looking at using the stock cooler? Overclocking by changing the multiplier only to give me a 50-100mhz increase raises the temps to around ~40-45c.

When you say it boot loops after a complete power off do you mean turning it off at the or unplugging it? If so then this is a known bug just google ryzen cold boot. It has nothing to do with stability, its just sometimes they dont look being powered completely down.
If it happens with a normal power down, ie from within windows and then left alone then I'd suggest increasing the ram voltage and dramboot voltage to 1.4v
There are significant gains to be had from faster ram so I'd definitely try to get it as fast as your ram will allow. 3200CL14 should be doable.
I have no idea on temps on a 1200.

What memory voltage are you using? DDR4 will run at over 1.4V quite happily even if specced lower. Up to 1.5V would be OK at a pinch.

Stock cooler seems to be 30C at idle and 60-65C at load (1700 at 3.6)
