*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

[Steedie]

Just upped the multiplier to 40, and set my voltage to 1.275 (using an offset). Was amazed it was that simple

 

[famas]

I've an asrock board so not Asus alone doing it.

I tried putting the timings in manually but still got the loops.

I'm going to try upping the voltage to see if it makes any difference, it's stock at the moment.
What's the safe voltage the 8pack ram can go to?

 

[Steedie]

1.4v, although I've seen people say they've used 1.45v but you wouldn't want to run that for daily use.

 

[AndreiD]

I can't get higher than 2933Mhz 100% stable on my B-die kit either, it's probably down to my 1700 being a dud. I always get a random intermittent error after a few hours of memtest which is just disappointing.
2933Mhz at least seems rock stable.

Does anyone know if the Ryzen+ chips coming this year will have better memory support or will it require a new board and chip? Gigabyte say my board should run my RAM at XMP but it refuses to play ball

 

[chroniclard]

1.5 is about max on b-die, 1.4 is fine for 24/7

Have you tried setting the memory up manually? PITA but you might get more joy.

I'd think AMD will have improved everything with Ryzen+

In short, everything so far points to yes, better memory support to come.
The new chipset shouldn’t have anything to do with it. I’m sticking with the CH6.

Same here, going to keep my CH6 and ram, will buy an itx or atx board for my 1700 and use it as a media server / nas type thing at home.

Just got a new 1800x, week 19/2017 is this one of the faulty models? Should I return it?

 

[AndreiD]

Do you get segfaults with it? If you don't really compile anything on your PC then you might as well keep it. You could try to RMA it to AMD but you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops.

 

[Space Monkey]

Haven't fitted it yet, but didn't want to go through the hassle of dismantling it all if I get faults etc...

Will the fault appear anywhere else, gaming, general use etc...?

 

[AndreiD]

Unless you are going to do large C++ compiles under Linux then you won't really experience the issue, it's pretty isolated.
You should be fine for general use, your CPU could be perfectly fine too, not all pre-week 25 Ryzens have the segfault issue to begin with.

Thanks for the info, any idea what I'd likely experience if my CPU was faulty?

 

[AndreiD]

Nothing really, unless you do large C++ compiles under Linux
I have a week 9 R7 1700 and I do have the segv issue but I've never experienced it under Windows. Any crashes I had in Windows were due to unstable overclockes (too low voltage on the CPU or DDR4 timings were unstable).

Exactly the same , crashes due to too low voltages when overclocking or too high speed DDR4 settings.

All self inflicted

 

[AndreiD]

The most annoying ones were due to RAM instability, was getting 1000% HCI memtest with no errors, but if I went for >1000% I was starting to get intermittent errors. Those errors manifested by crashing in various programs once or twice a week which was starting to annoy me.
Dial the RAM back to 2933Mhz which seems to be the most my R7 1700 can do proper stable, and everything seems fine now. Hopefully Zen+ or Zen2 improves memory compatibility considerably because dealing with RAM issues is very annoying, takes several hours to properly validate any change.

Couldn't find a thread on the refresh (or might be blind), so hopefully ok here. With all the Intel nonsense going on, thinking going with the ryzen refresh if it impacts my 5820k too much for what I use it for, as it's getting on a bit now anyway.

So from what I gathered, the refresh is later this year and should just be basically current ryzen, higher clocked and maybe little bit of ipc gain?

 

[Hedge]

Refresh is expected around March I believe.
