Where is this 1.0.0.5 bios ? it's very late, 1.0.0.4 does nothing for improving my ram whatso ever, I wish there was somewhere to find out what the plans are, what ram is now supported and when the next one is out... I can only run 2800mhz max anything higher and everything goes weird, menu's freeze and dissapear in windows or random restarts, combine that with having to overclock in ryzen master (which randomly greys out all the mem voltage settngs.. :/

I was playing around the other night with the Team Group Dark Pro 3000Mhz RAM i bought for my streaming PC.. just overclocking it without being serious for anything stable, it booted at 3200 15-15-15-35-1T.. then i tried 3400 16-18-18-36-1T and that worked too.. both passed a quick Cinebench run but the score wasnt that much higher tbh.

I knocked it back down to stock which is 3000 15-15-15-35-1T as being in a stream PC i suppose an overclock isnt really needed, runs great as it is.

I have an all core clock @ 4.0Ghz with 1.25v on my 2700X and it runs quite happily at that.

I wonder why some systems cant hit 3000Mhz and above? What is it down to? The CPU? The Board?

Btw my board isnt available on OcUK anymore, maybe its just the AC version they're not selling now..

My Dominator Platinum 3200Mhz only did 3000 on Ryzen but then it only does 3000 on my 6700K now too since the 6700K was replaced. Kinda tells me its the CPU but i cant really tell as the RAM was replaced at the same time, the 6700K killed the RAM just before it killed itself lol
 
I have a ryzen 3 1200 at 1.3v 3.8ghz. I didnt win the lottery I dont think but i didnt do bad for first time overclocking.
I dont want to risk too much higher on the volts though so could get better

CH6 was very generous with the power...... :D

Is funny because the CPU decides what it's best of it, depending the cooling provided. :rolleyes:
My old 1800X was happy boosting 4.2Ghz at 4 cores constantly on the CH6. While the brother who has it now, says with the latest bios can go 6 cores to 4.2Ghz at 1.412v automatically
(no fiddling with the bios). Of course in both cases Predator 360 is being used.

Also make sure you have some descent ram. The CH6 can do 3600Mhz easily if the ram is rated for that speed (even on 1800X) let alone with a 2700X chip.
Make sure is of low clock latency though CL15 for example. Not CL20. Kinda pointless.

Yeh i been thinking about getting some of that 8pack CL14 3200 or 3600mhz samsung B die stuff. Currently on your bog basic Corsair stuff (3200, 16-18-18-36)

Back in 2016 bought 16gb (2x8) Ripjaws V without thinking about Samsung B etc. Ryzen was "too far away".
It was the best 3600Mhz C16 ram, and at £126 was a bargain.

Surprisingly found this ram working great on both Ryzen & Intel system even when the Ryzen was initially out in April 2017.
When everyone was struggling to get their rams to 3200Mhz this one was working at 3600C15. (others manages to do 3633C16 with their 1700Xs since May 2017)

Atm is running at 4133C17 in my 8600K. Is shame cannot find the exact same kit again (F4-3600C16-8GVK) and give it a spin on the X399 platform. :(
For science of course :D
 
Hi, I need some help in suggestions & tips, Here's the issue.

I'm running a Ryzen 2700x at it's stock settings.
Multitasking should be what it excels in but as an example I am using 7-Zip to compress a folder that's 4 or 5 gb's in size, It'll take a few minutes so I want to get on with something else, I boot up a game and it's a juddery mess, barely capable of navigating the menu, It's an old game from 2009 and I know it's engine doesn't effectively use multiple cores but I've got an 8 core 16 thread cpu so why am I unable to use the cores effectively? Shouldn't it do so automatically spreading the loads to separate cores?

Not if one task is dominating all of the cores on equal process priority. You can either drop the 7 zip process priority or adjust the affinity so that it can only use say 14 of your 16 threads.

Wow today only a 1700X for £149.99. Got to be a bargain.

That's a pretty good deal, but the only thing I don't like about 1st gen Ryzen stock being sold at bottom of the barrel prices is that the resale value of 1st gen Ryzens ends up being really bad. It's making upgrading to newer Ryzen versions not really worth it.

True, that is the downside of early adoption. I paid £312 for Ryzen R7 1700. I have had nearly 18 months of use though and currently I do not see an urgent upgrade requirement.

These prices are showing how cheap these chips are for AMD to manufacture and how over priced they where at launch.

Don't see that really, not for a new to market 8c16t CPU when competition was 4c8t at best (and AMD needed to recoup).

All about timing I guess.

Bought a second hand 1700X for £200(ish), almost a year of use, sold for £140 and got a 2700X for £240. :)
 
Well, at least they're cheap nowadays, makes building a new system cheaper, or at least amortises some of the DDR4 price gouging.

It does show AMDs margins, but I don't think they were necessarily over priced on launch

I ordered mine within 5 minutes of launch at £319.99 and its been worth every penny of that.
 
Got a 1600 several months after launch for cheap, I think around £148 at Xmas. This was just to tide me over until Ryzen+, so in July I bought a 2700X and sold the 1600 for about £100 after fees. This meant the upgrade to the beastly 2700X was cheap.

For those wondering, I do rendering work on my computer so wanted 8-cores 16-threads and Ryzen 2nd gen.
 
What on earth are Asus doing with their drivers. :confused:

Official AMD chipset drivers are about 64MB.

Asus have chipset drivers with a slightly different minor version to AMD at around 700MB.

They done the opposite with Intel LAN drivers. They are 2MB whilst around 72MB from Intel.

On the Asus page the drivers have a warning:

Due to the different structure for drivers, suggest you remove the old driver first before install this version driver.
