Some extra cooling on my MSI B350 Tomahawk
VRM's getting a little too warm?
75ish under "Stress" load, 60ish when gaming, so not overly hot, just preventative cooling and well l had some tie-wraps and an extra ML fan sitting about doing nothing
Yeh had a look at it today,think I'll put a 140mm on the top blowing cold air in for now.
After nearly a month of waiting, my Cryorig AM4 bracket finally arrived:
The cooler just about fits and does touch the glass panel
.
Massive improvements compared to the Spire cooler, idle temps dropped from ~45c to 32c, max temps from 80c (if GPU is stressed too) to around 56c. Dropped the fan speeds too on the case and now I have a silent gaming PC. Honestly not sure if I want to overclock, I'm already very impressed with the gains I'm getting over the 4.2GHz 2600K.

Nice clean build.
So, having seen this deal on the Ryzen 1700x I'm more tempted than ever, but... I need to stick with win7 & probably also going Linux too.
I know it's not supported for the newer CPUs, but I'll have to live with that.
Anyone here using win7 with Ryzen? Any major problems? Easy sailing?
How easy was it to get it up & running?

I think Asrock do win 7 drivers utilities for some of their boards, check.
I have no personal experience with windows 7 on Ryzen, but searching for specific chipset drivers for sound, network etc. may not be too difficult or the win10 drivers may work on win7.
Thanks, will check it out.
Current (old) system is Asrock & it's been good, so was leaning towards them as it was
How do you turn of telemetry?
Some older software (hell, even some new software hehe) doesn't work in win10, so it's win7 only for me.
That & I refuse to have forced (even if slightly delayed) updates that can screw things up, reset my options/settings etc or worse, uninstall programs because it thinks they're dodgy etc.
Plus, adverts in an OS, nope!

Just disable updates
Seriously, I do that, then once a month when it's convenient I manually enable it, get it done, turn updates off again. And I have never seen an advert in Win 10, where have you gotten that from?

Things changed since I recently looked?
Thought you couldn't completely block updates unless you had the top tier of windows & even in the agreement it states they can just turn things on again.
Ads I've seen mentioned on reddit, stuff like apps getting junked into start menu.
Thanks I will try that today.
I stripped out my start menu as one of my first tasks after install, put a few common things on it, and Windows has never added anything like an advert to it. Nor is there anywhere else in the OS itself where I have seen anything akin to an ad. I believe there is an explicit setting for "show occasional suggestions" in your start menu, which you can simply disable. I'm suspicious that there's some diehard haters out there who just want to spread misinformation
I'm running Win 10 pro, in which I just disable the Windows Update service, and it stays disabled. Going through the regular Windows Update UI does indeed not allow you to disable updates permanently, and it will fight you to the bitter end and reboot your pc at 3am after you thought you'd banned it from doing so. If you don't have admin access, you really can't dodge updates, but you can if you do. It also appears to have been made smarter such that updates don't try to install while you're on battery - a consideration which Win 8 did not have and several times left me staring at an update screen in a public place!
On the whole, I suspect that fears about Win 10 are rather overblown... it isn't "that bad" imho
Seems I found a sweet spot for my R7 1700, 3.6Ghz with 1.15v with LLC2, anything over 3.6Ghz just needs some pretty big voltage bumps, 1.3v for 3.8Ghz and haven't tried more. Tried 1.275v with 3.8Ghz but it was no bueno, was getting cache errors in prime95, maybe 1.28v would work...
I'm not sure if I have a good or bad sample.
