good morning guys, sorry to intrude

im not offically a ryzen owner yet but will be buying the ryzen 5 1600

this will be my spec so far

rog strix b350-5 gaming mobo, ryzen 5 1600 cpu, team dark pro 16gb 3200mhz, evga 500w psu, masterliquid lite 240 cooler and a m2 crucial 275gb. I will be adding a 1060 graph card and 1tb hard drive too

question to you guys is how have you found overclocking and has anyone followed the asus overclock video at all ?

look forward to getting my ryzen soon

Hagar · 2 Nov 2017 at 09:10

Overclocking my 1700 up to 3.8 is easy on my stock cooler, 3.9 gets noisy at times but I see you are adding an aftermarket cooler. I have not tried above that as I do not currently need to and stay at 3.6 all cores. I use P-state overclocking which is incredibly easy to do, keeping the idle clocks and a turbo clock available on two cores.

On mine just leave everything on auto, set multiplier to 37 and get 3.7Ghz at 1.2v max.

@marco.da.man

If you haven't bought the components yet, be sure to get the 8Pack Dark Pro or the 3600Mhz Team Xtreem kit (since they're about the same price), the regular 3200Mhz Dark Pro are now Hynix ICs apparently, which aren't really ideal for Ryzen.
As for the motherboard, unless you want any particular feature on the Strix, I'd jump to a X370 Prime Pro since the VRM is going to be a big step up from the B350 Strix.

ive alreadt bought the b350 strix and 8Pack
Team Group Dark Pro " Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/ already as was reading the 3200mhz is better for ryzen

AndreiD · 2 Nov 2017 at 11:25

Ah, you'll be fine then. The Strix isn't a bad mobo either, depends on what features you prefer.

Have you updated your Bios? I tried to the latest one with 1.0.0.6B agesa and 2133Mhz couldn't post.I had to revert to some old Bios and since then stable 3200Mhz.

Not recently no, I think I'm on 9945 as it was fine back then and new ones didn't bring anything worth updating for me;] I'll wait for 1007.

I have the gigabyte gaming 3. Using the 1600 stock cooler and run the 1600 @ 3.7 by just changing the multiplier to 37...everything else on auto. Appreciate you have an aftermarket cooler so could try and go further up to 3.9 - 4.0ghz but you then need to change a few setting manually I believe.

AndreiD · 2 Nov 2017 at 12:32

4Ghz might be out of reach for non-X CPUs, but 3.8~3.9Ghz should be doable at <1.425v.
If you can get 3.8Ghz stable at <1.3v then 4Ghz might be in the cards.

Im quite tempted to get an aftermarket cooler to try myself. 3.7 rock solid at auto 1.24V not sure if this is the norm, but reading around usually the Auto bumps the voltage higher than it really needs.

AndreiD · 2 Nov 2017 at 12:59

It's only 200~300Mhz for much worse thermals and power consumption due to the voltage wall. I'm keeping mine at 3.6Ghz with 1.175v because it seems to be my chip's sweet spot when it comes to power consumption/thermals.
I could go higher since I have a D15 on it, but only getting to 45~50C in load is quite nice

The difference in power use would be hardly noticed. At 1.175v and 40-50c I think you're well under the sweet spot.

AndreiD · 2 Nov 2017 at 13:12

I need 1.325v for 3.8Ghz though, power usage goes up quite a lot compared to 1.175v - 3.6Ghz.
Thermals too, 3.6Ghz idle is 32C and 45~50C gaming and 58C IBT/Linpack while 3.8Ghz gets me to 35C idle, 50~60C gaming and 70C IBT/Linpack. Technically I still have a lot of room to go up with this cooler, but I like things nice and quiet at the moment, keeping all of my fans <1000rpm.

But what about the gulf in performance

AndreiD · 2 Nov 2017 at 14:11

Gotta live with that, single core it's not really up to par even when compared with my old 4.8Ghz 2600K, but I have multithreaded workloads that benefit from the 1700's threads.

Wasn't you arguing the life out of me saying Sandybridge could barely hit 4.8Ghz and got destroyed by Haswell. You really need to check yourself. For your own sake if not the forum.

This is what you said at that time:

jigger said:
Well Intel and motherboard makers apparently get a little upset if you throw the latest chips in with a 5.5Ghz 2500K.

jigger said:
So that's at 4.7Ghz. I take it you think Sandybridge will get slower as you increase the clock speed. Most 2500K chips will crack 5Ghz no problem.

jigger said:
Well a Sandybridge i5 with a decent overclock can see off my Skylake i7 at 4.8Ghz in a lot of situations.

And yes, Sandy Bridge doesn't have Haswell IPC, the 4.8Ghz Sandy will in most scenarios get outperformed by a lower clocked Haswell. And most Sandy samples can't reach 5Ghz at voltages safe for 24/7, 4.5Ghz is fairly easy, 4.6Ghz or higher depends on the silicon lottery.
I wonder who really needs to "check" themselves here.

So, after my RAM appeared to be faulty I switched back to my previous RAM which was earmarked for my daughters build, Corsair LPX 3466 B-Die and managed to get it running at 3466!

Comparisons below. Ok improvement, every little helps with Ryzen.

8Pack Team Dark Pro - 3200 14-13-13-28

8Pack Team Dark Pro - 3333 14-13-13-28

Corsair LPX 3466 15-15-15-35

DarkHorizon472 · 2 Nov 2017 at 19:58

Good work

Is 0052 a new beta bios, are there any changes ?

Took you a while

Glad it's working like it should.
