Heads up for first wave Ryzen owners.

My 1800X is suffering degradation already after almost 18 months. Noticed that my PC was locking up in BF1 and BFV. Initially blamed the game and a setting (performance bias i had set recently) but turns out, after testing with realbench, memtest and Prime95 that I needed to bump up the vcore a couple of notches.

It had previously been sat at 40x101 @ 1.375v and rock solid for over a year.

Just a heads up, but I might just be unlucky.

Worth keeping in mind.
 
apologies for the OFF, i've just joined (again) the red team with a CH6 + 1700 + Vega64 config.
I've got the MoBo for £60 used and don't have the backplate for it (Asus Rog Crosshair 6), if anybody has a spare one for sale in the UK, pretty please PM me.

What was your soc voltage?

1.1v

SOC @ 1.1v certainly wouldn't be any sort of issue. On the face of it, Vcore @ 1.375 shouldn't be an issue either. What level of LLC are you running ? Because running high levels of LLC can certainly cause damage, voltage pikes from high LLC levels on most CPU's tend do the most damage.

Indeed. Overall voltages were quite low all things considered. It's been a great chip!

LLC level 2 (on CH VI).

I'm considering just doing the segfault RMA :p

Lol :D I'm not shure you'd get away with a segfault RMA after 18 months...................................worth a punt though :)

LLC Level 2 isn't anything out of the ordinary either..............................................................................maybe you have a segfault issue :D
 
I'll keep you posted :p hopefully it goes through okay.

Just for reference I have 1600X and 1700 builds at higher voltages for over a year and all is well still. Must be segfault :p
 
You can certainly still RMA for segfault. No guarantee the chip you get back will be 4GHz capable at any voltage though, so it's a gamble!
