*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

I'd be interested in this too - got my 8Pack RAM landing tomorrow and as soon as I confirm my 2600 as stable I want to properly understand how to overclock it (and undervolt it!)

Even memory timings and setting them are going over my head, a bit overwhelmed tbh!

Quick question, running X470 Gigabyte Gaming 7, a 2700X (stock cooler at the moment) on Windows 10. Using the F6 BIOS and the 18.10 AMD chipset drivers.

My performance with all the overclocking seems to be massively variable - sometimes the desktop will completely freeze for a few seconds, especially when doing between applications. Seems the Gigabyte BIOS is a bit flakey and I've disabled automatic switching between the two BIOS' on the motherboard as I would find the system seemingly randomly booting between the two BIOS.

Question - running the Ryzen Balanced power plan in Windows - should I still be using this, or just go to the Windows high performance plan?

Windows power plan has been updated for Ryzen now, Works fine for me on Balanced. I think the reason the Ryzen power plan is still available is for people running old W10 builds? Happy to be corrected.

I've just hit 95°C while playing The Division (which then crashed to desktop!) - I've not overclocked/undervolved the CPU at all but understand from another thread that this is abnormally high and so I'm wondering what I should be doing about this?

Am I best getting a different cooler or is it possible that there is a problem with the chip itself and I should be looking to return it for a replacement??

Just a couple of things to check. Are you running the CPU overclocked? Have you ensured the CPU is making proper contact with the heatsink and not skewed at one corner or another?

Reinstall the cooler first. 95C with what is very little load means, little to no contact is being made, or your motherboard is overvolting.

Yeah looks like I may have been a bit (LOT) stupid and left a plastic piece of film on place when installing the cooler! (On advice in another thread - I just dont remember taking anything off the cooler!)

Anyway I've taken the cooler off and will give it a clean and try applying some new paste!

Hi,

I had a DIY built system from 2009 that had a Q9550 and 8Gb of DDR2 with a AMD R290.

I wanted to upgrade to run games like BFV as best as possible.

I took the plunge and got the OCUK Zenith pre-built system as the value for a Ryzen 7 2700X systems was looking good.

I also changed the config to add:

Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 64 Nitro+ 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel 660P 512GB M.2-2280 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe QLC 3D NAND Solid State Drive
Phanteks Eclipse P400S Glass Midi Tower Case - Noise Dampened Black/Red
Gigabyte Aorus RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit

Before ordering, I called OCUK Tech sales as i was concerned that the Zenith configured 600w PSU was a potential weak point, I was advised it was OK for the Zenith and the configs I chose.

I am not looking at over-clocking yet but getting optimal performance at stock.

I have updated to the F4 BIOS and only config change here was to load the XMP profile so RAM ran at 3200 as it was set a lot lower (2134???).

Issues I have had are system lock ups running Unigine valley benchmark and also BFV crashes after 8-10 minutes.

I see that under BFV, the CPU is running at 83-84 degrees.

I now understand that these are potentially normal temps for this CPU by design.

I am concerned that these CPU temps are the cause of the crashes etc, so will be thinking of replacing the Wraith cooler with a big AIO water cooler.

Is there anything else i can do to check settings are optimal or maybe causing the crashes?

So many options, but the fact they probably put an el cheapo PSU in there would be my first suspicion. It's not specified in the build page, but it's likely to be a Kolink which won't deliver the full 600w on the 12v rail

What i have seen so far points me to suspect temps over power, but I agree with your statement and hence why I queried it before purchase.

The GPU box states an 850w PSU....

I have a OCZ ModXStream 780W SLI Ready Modular Power Supply from the old system.

All yourself why it would crash to the desktop rather than just throttle or turn off the system entirely if it needed thermal protection.

If you can be bothered to try your old PSU, then it is a sensible thing to rule out, and if proven right OCUk owe you a rather large apology.

Just had some new ram sticks land (trident Z 4000mhz cl18), had a bit of a further tinker...
3466 @ 14 14 14 14 34 is working good. I'll work more on that another day.

Decided to have a play with all core oc and see what I can get... is 1.425v pushing too hard? CPU never breaches 55c. I'm guessing I'm into electron migration territory long term? Just.. I'm getting 4.4 all core out of my chip currently so.. it would be nice...
Even 1 step down on voltage is a lock up.\

It's in 720mm custom loop with amazing airflow so... cooling isn't an issue. Just worried I'm pushing that too hard for a daily clock.

A fixed all core clock really isn't worth the headache in all honesty. If you enable PBO and set PE to Level 4 with the Windows Balanced power plan, you'll find that it will all core clock to 4.25Ghz anyway with single core boost to 4.35Ghz. It will do that with an all core load voltage of just Under 1.4v, with the advantage of dropping the all core clock to 2.2Ghz and 0.89v when idle. That extra 150Hz for all that extra voltage just isn't worth it.

Quick question about my Ryzen 2600 - is it usual for the cores to all have quite different temperatures or does that indicate a problem with the thermal paste/cooling?

Using CPUID HWMonitor each of the cores are quite different in terms of temperature - ranging from 37°C to 73°C as follows while gaming:

TMPIN0 - 37°C
TMPIN1 - 47°C
TMPIN2 - 73°C
TMPIN3 - 49°C
TMPIN4 - 54°C
TMPIN5 - 61°C

Is this "normal" for a 2600 running at stock or should I be thinking about re-trying my thermal paste efforts?

Use hwinfo64.

I think we need a sticky to tell people to stop using hwmonitor.

No worries, always happy to use something more reliable - although my original question still stands, is different cores reaching such vastly different temperatures "normal"?

There is A LOT to take in with hwinfo however and I can't seem to see any detailed info regards temperatures, even in the "sensors" option it just gives one overall temp - is this right??

Sorry, yes you are right. You don't get per core temps from memory.

I don't believe the tmpin you were seeing in hwmonitor was to do with CPUs. See if you can find them in hwinfo64 under the motherboard section. That's what I believe they are.

Sorry, you are absolutely right - I must have scrolled down by accident - it just gives one overall temperature for the CPU!

OK, with that out of the way I'm wondering how bad a job I've done in applying the thermal paste - whilst writing this the temperature is around 45°C and while playing The Division earlier today for about an hour it went up as high as 78°C - are these temps OK for a non-overclocked 2600 using the stock cooler??

I think delvey above had the same question and had it answered. Albeit perhaps not quite 78C. How is your case cooling?

Mid 70s is normal for 2600 with stock cooler.

Cooling perhaps isn't the best - I think there is one fan in the front but it's covered by a "door" (my case is the Antec P100) and then one to the rear!

My thermal paste application was a bit questionable because the cooler backplate was loose and so I had to hold it on with my left hand while trying to line up the cooler with my right!
