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

In Overwatch Im actually playing much better now.

BF1 was noticably smoother too, i've just got a 1080Ti now as well and the smoothness is so weird i'm doing worse :p :(

  1. For what it is worth, my 1800X is much smoother playing Murdered Soul Suspect @ 4.1Ghz @ max settings than my 5960x was @ 4Ghz.

I'm not sure why, it does not appear to be a very demanding game on the CPU and it appears to only use 4-6 CPU threads.

Ok I have decided to jump on board and purchase a Ryzen upgrade. Here is what I bought

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - White (CMK16GX4M2B32

MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700 3.70GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail

I hope the memory I bought will be ok. It's not on the supported list, but, I hope that it will work at a slower speed then a Bios update at a later date will support it.

As an aside, I am also kind of nervous about buying the MSI Pro motherboard. MSI seems to make a lot of mistakes recently with motherboards and graphics cards. But, IMO, it's one of the nicest looking motherboards out there and seems pretty will spec'd. I am not going to be pushing overclocking too hard so it should be ok.

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.

Is that running your Pstate mate so will downclock? Mind PMing me the config for that.

Here's my best efforts so far mem/cpu wise. 4.1 seems to need more voltage than i'm happy to put in (what's your vcore set to, as noticed you got 1.461 max there)?

I must have a half bum chip because mine takes 1.42v to do 3.9 ghz but its a very cool chip and doesn't break 57c prime95 small ffts load!
It take well over 1.47v to do 4ghz at anywhere near stable

I wouldn't get so caught up about it. Most of the 4.0@ 1.3x volts we have been seeing have not been properly stress tested. I could do a few cinebench runs and a 15min realbench and call it stable.
I'm doing [email protected] myself. Some users are struggling to do 3.8 over at overclock.net.

I'm not worried mate I'm still hitting 1700 cini score @ 3.9,I'm now working on tighter ram timings.

Mine is the same although it's stable at 1.40v. Going to 4GHz is a massive jump in voltage to get stable and not sure it's worth it.

Are the chip-set drivers supposed to be 1.3GB or have Gigabyte done something stupid to theirs?

Looks like they've bundled other software with out Chipset drivers, perhaps related to their Motherboard. Not uncommon.

For the most up to date Chipset drivers, use ours and download individual software packages from the manufacturer website.

I'll put up some more settings soon, currently trying to overclock without any LLC to see if it gives more stability.

4.1Ghz is stable at 1.417v, but it does spike periodically for a second or so.
 
Early days, but ditching LLC may have allowed me to go past 4.1Ghz, and my temps are definitely lower too. Getting a bit more droop naturally, but I've just added more voltage to compensate. I may ditch LLC completely if this works well.

Okay this is really weird.

The AMD 17.3.1 chipset drivers you linked are 110MB, but the Gigabyte "AMD 16.50.2601 chipset driver" is 1.26GB and contains none of their motherboard bloat, the MSI one (also 16.50.2601) is 1013MB and the ASUS one for the Crosshair is again 1.26GB (and listed as V9.0.000.8).

Add to make thing stranger, I had forgotten this but when I installed the Gigabyte ones, the Radeon installer thought it was installing a graphics card lol (the setting up/ready to use messages were for a gfx card not a mobo).
