*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

Maybe they disabled the microop cache with that one then? Should be a ~5% IPC loss in some scenarios, I'm not sure what Asus/AMD are doing and it reminds me of the Phenom TLB bug debacle.
 
My CH6 backplate has turned up! so will test the CH6 tonight, dunno whether or not to use the latest 1.7.0.1 Bios or go with the version before... my Taichi will arrive tomorrow, i believe theres a new bios for that as well, will test them both and then sell one of them once ive had a chance to play around and settle on which i prefer.
 
So finally got another Phanteks case and sorted out my 2nd Ryzen system:

Still cheaper than a Star Wars GPU :)
 
Extremely impressed with my RyZen 1700, got it running at 3.9ghz with 1.38v and I think the volts will go lower, and could probably hit 4.0ghz at the current 1.38v.

Rams running at 3200mhz, will give it a proper test with hci mem test this weekend, was nice though just selecting 3200 in bios and it happily booted. Wouldn't boot above that though but I will run the RyZen mem calc this weekend and see if I can get it higher.

Flashed the latest ch6 bios and it picked up my Nvme and has been flawless.

Need to sort out my fan profile though as it's not as quiet as I'd like, temps idle at 29c and highest I've seen was 54 during Cinebench.

Fired up Wow and the FPS is over 120fps at my custom settings, so almost the same as on my 4770k, played over an hour of Grim Dawn, CPU never went above 45c and game felt smoother than my 4770k.

Overall I'm extremely impressed

I had no luck with the Ryzen memcalc.

3066Mhz is close enough to 3200Mhz that performance shouldn't be too far off.

What ram are you running?

Also my CPU wont do higher than 3.8 no matter what volts I give it. (I went as high as 1.45v and still wasn't stable under testing)
 
I've not followed the CPU business for a while now so gotta ask. Would you recommend a Ryzen 1700 for a computer that will be used for a lot of work as CAD and various mapping programs? So a lot of 2/3D working?

It's strong point is in multi threaded professional workloads as opposed to gaming so yea it should be a good match.

But your still need a GPU for 3d rendering tasks.

The memcalc worked great for me, managed to get it running stable at 3333MHz (Gskill Trident Z 3200MHZ). Previous versions kept crashing but the 0.9.9 version (I think it was that one) worked a treat.

Running G-Skill 3400mhz Cas16 Ripjaws.. i was under the impression these were supposed to be dual rank, but it seems they are single rank, from what ive read most people cant even get them to boot over 3066 so it seems the new Asus CH6 bios is definitely the one to use with these particular modules, either that or i have had some luck. Timings didnt look too terrible either, but i still want to try the mem calc to see if i can tighten them up further.

Gotta say im extremely impressed with Ryzen, i thought my 4770k was smooth when i got it, but this is a whole new level.

Obviously im GPU bound in a lots of games as im at 1440p 144hz, but for multitasking its simply unreal.

Which bios is that, the latest on the ASUS website, or the Elmor special?

I may try another bios swap, I have stayed on 9920 for some months now.

Pleased you are happy with the upgrade, I went from a 9590 so a bigger jump than from a 4770k.

I'm running the latest Agesa 1071 for my Prime Pro x370. I tried the DOCP settings but it didn't work. Haven't tried the memcalc tho on this bios.

Doubt it'll make much difference but maybe in the future I'll try again.

The good thing with these AM4 boards is considering AMD have promised a few iterations of Ryzen will be compatible with the AM4 socket it's not unfeasible that future BIOS updates might get my Hynix Corsair ram working at rated speeds.... eventually.

Got it from this thread ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

Yeah i set the 3200mhz auto setting in the bios and away it went, didnt have any luck with 3600 or 3333, but im wondering if 3333 is possible if i tinker via Mem Calc etc.
 
Saw a clip other day that showed whilst AIO are cooler to start off, over prolonged periods, that heat will just build up in the radiator & be louder due to more fans than a normal air cooler. Makes sense I guess.

Hmmm, I'd think that likely had an angle it was working. A heatsink would also get hot over time and be cooled about the same (airflow/CFM/SP being equal). They're both just correcting/balancing the temperature delta produced by the CPU. There will be different points balance is achieved so... yeah, will depend on overall surface area of each and the fans used. Water is... something of a heatstore in the system I guess. Would depend on surface area on the air vs AIO cooler I'd think.

My 1600 arrives tomorrow. I've gone for the Asus B350-F Strix and Team Group Night Hawk RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz.

I won't be doing an overclock right away but I may load the XMP profile for the memory. Would you guys do this before overclocking or leave the memory and focus on the CPU first?
 
Focus on memory First, get that stable at at least stock speed. :)

Will need to test though, many people will boot windows, play a game, go "yeah that works" and it's nowhere near stable. Then moan about crashes later....
