Use a DMM ;) .

See my data in this post :) .

See also some of the screenies and info on this post , for those scenarios I have ~1.350V under load on VCORE measured via DMM.


Nope, do not have access to rear of socket on case I have.

I use the Pro Belt points on C6H.

Many are doing the same.


Difference in 1 users share is ~0.019mV, link.

I think I'll roll with the measurement on Pro belt point. At least this way the higher read on Pro Belt will mean the CPU is still within my assessment for 24/7 OC VCORE.
 
Arf, ordered some corsair lpx already, I'll see how it goes, thanks anyway, guess I am just blind...

LPX is generally good stuff, I have 2x16GB of 3200 LPX in my Gigabyte Gaming 5 running at 2666 (using the settings for the LPX 2666 kit), haven't tried higher manually but when I enabled XMP it wouldn't boot. BIOS revisions should fix though.
 
I've settled on 4.1Ghz as my 24/7 clock, this requires 1.417v.

As far as i can tell my sample hits a wall here and although it will post and run benchmarks at 4.2Ghz, i can't seem to get long term stability above 4.1.

Perhaps with bios updates and changes to my overclock methods i will go further, but at the moment this appears to be the limit with all 16 threads enabled for 24/7.

yeah, I got the 16gb LPX 3200 as well, I'll see how it fares
 
My 1700 is turning up tomorrow, unfortunately the only ddr4 I have is 8gb 2400mhz of Team group elite, I will be using a gigabyte b350m. Does anyone have any experience of running this ram. Worried I will have issues and not be able to determine the culprit.
 
Gonna get my Mobo soon, for overclocking should I go x370 or b350? I'm not planning on doing sli or xfire but I didnt find anything about their vrms and I'm not planning on going higher than 4GHz on my 1700
 
@AMDMatt

How are you finding it for gaming at those speeds compared to your old setup?

Similar performance gaming wise. Previously setup had higher MAX FPS in some titles, but lower minimum FPS. Ryzen has less drops in FPS compared to 5960x so there is a smaller gap between MIN and MAX FPS.

Neural Net Prediction does seem to help commonly used apps perform quicker. For example the time taken to load a large Excel spreadsheet (i use these daily as part of my job) has reduced noticeably since i switched to Ryzen.

Despite all that, the largest difference between the two was the price.

5960x = £900
1700 = £320
 
just had Asus ez tell me there is a new AMD chipset avalaible (V5.12.0.31) but i cant find any notes on it... Is anyone running this yet ?

Would normally just install but after my crosshair near brick expierence i'm holding back :)
 
Do you have signatures disabled? Because it looks like either yours is 8 years old or you have the only Hiper PSU that hasn't caught fire yet ^^

It died before it caught fire. On mobile so not signatures, will change to new rig.
Can't wait to get this new rig together. The good seems to outweigh the bad and just like to support competition. Just can't believe the price of ram now, will be sticking with what I have 8gb of 2400mhz til everything settles down bios wise. Then probably going for 3600.

Damn wish i could get 4.0 that stable :/ hynix holding me back i guess :/ hope next bioss sorts it out so i can post with more than 2400 memory option on t1

I feel the Ryzen 1800x much smoother than my 3930K, both at stock.

In Overwatch Im actually playing much better now.
 
The latest Chipset drivers are 17.3.1 and were updated on the 10th of March. Not sure what they are referring to.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows 10 - 64

Will these drivers be incorporated in to Win 10 eventually?

Atm with a fresh install of Win 10 on a Ryzen based system I assume that there are missing drivers, and you need to go to the AMD webpage to download?

---

Also at AMDMatt, do we think with bios updates higher clocked ram will be support out the box?

I.e if I buy 3200Mhz ram now will a bios update one day theoretically unlock the clock speed for me even tho at the moment the boards only work up to 2400Mhz without manual overclocking?

We always update and post our Chipset drivers at www.amd.com/drivers, this will always continue. That said, Microsoft may incorporate an older version into Windows Update at some point for users that don't bother to install them.

If you're using a Ryzen CPU I'd recommend using the latest drivers from our website, and checking for updates every month or so.

Check the Motherboard QVL list for compatibility of memory. I'm not sure if the memory speed will ramp to 3200Mhz without your intervention.

We're extending memory support so that faster speeds will be supported, that will come out through bios updates in the not too distant future.
