Mine was on a per game basis. The beta of cod ww2 hated SMT. Project cars 2 performed better without it also.

ok thx gavin thats pretty much what everyone else has said , i only play 2 games anyway at the moment so will see how it does in both
If the leaks are correct, then there is no reason to upgrade to the 2xxx chips. Some additional boost across more cores is the main advancement, giving up to 10% more performance.
Then again who would really upgrade in 12 months, unless you really like having the latest thing.

Won't be upgrading to 2xxx series, but then I only built my PC few days ago, so, yeah. 
I'll probably wait until Zen 2 and see how they perform.

I've never disabled SMT in the year i've had Ryzen.
Me neither.

Yeah I saw no real gain so enabled it again
I guess there might be the odd game that would benefit from disabling SMT because it's old and doesn't understand the Ryzen CPU layout or something, but generally it really should just be left alone. Everyone used to disable SMT on Nehalem but that was because people were overclocking by 50% and SMT increased heat output significantly for minimal gain when gaming. These days it really isn't worth disabling.
On a separate note, been playing with a 2400G for a couple of days and it performs brilliantly as an all round chip.
The 2200G really is brilliant value if you can get the rest of the parts for cheap as well.
A shame they didn't make an 8mb cache version. Something like a 2500G could have been good, but then again would have a niche market at the value end unlikely to get back the design costs of a different larger die.

My Ryzen 1700 build is 12 months old today. Happy birthday.

Happy B'day!
I think I bought mine in April.

Only game I noticed a benefit to with SMT disabled was Farcry 4 and it was quite a substantial FPS gain. Otherwise have not bothered.
A further follow up. With a 2400G, non B-die memory is doing 3200mhz cl16 @1.4v with ease (this memory is rated at 2400mhz cl15 @1.2v).
The same memory would not go above 2933mhz on a 1700X. The 1700X did do 3200mhz cl14 and 3466mhz cl16 with B-die though.
This bodes well for 2xxx ryzen chips in my opinion.

Yeah I've just updated my BIOS tonight to the latest and can now run my RAM at 3200 using the XMP profile. Even managed to tighten the timings a bit.

As of today i am now a owner of a ryzen 2700x.

Never bothered to disable SMT.
What I would like to know is how many people are still overclocking all core @3.9 on ryzen 1, and if so has there been any degredation IE... any need to up the voltage from what It used to be 12 months ago. That question doesn't include changing motherboard though.
For example: I have one 1800X @3.9 needing 1.1 Soc and 1.35 Vcore and the other needs 1.15 Soc and 1.381 Vcore to be 100% stable, both b-die XMP 3200.

Well my stupid motherboard sets 1.4v stock volts with 1.575 spikes under XFR and the chip hasn't died after 10 months... BUT... I did recently reduce the negative offset from I think -0.056 to -0.048, and upped the SoC by about 0.05 to 1.12 ish, which seems to have stopped some bluescreens that had been sneaking in. Three weeks without a reboot so far, probably solid now.
Anecdotally I am not quite convinced that XFR is healthy for Ryzen in the long term. AMD always said it's fine, but I guess we're at the point where we'll start to get user reports if there's a problem there.
Completely unconnected, I've flipped my coat and gone 8700K because Ryzen 2000 just doesn't offer the single thread performance that nearly everything I do is begging for. Which sounds terrible, but actually I'm really glad that there's a 6-core upgrade option (which surely would not have existed without Ryzen), and that in 12-18 months I will probably get an upgrade again with Ryzen 3000. Competition works and I love it. It's expensive, but I love it. I miss the days of annual upgrades and hope they're coming back
