Interesting. I'm trying not to play too much today, need to do some work.

Yep, 4.1Ghz stable at 1.46v-1.48v. Not tweaked voltages, so perhaps can lower this.

This is really weird, i guess i was getting voltage overshoot and was making things unstable. Interesting. On to 4.150Ghz.
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 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).

Perhaps they are bundling the Crimson drivers as well. Without taking a look I'm not too sure.

Had that message too, think the packaging bods at AMD have reused an installer.

The overshoot could be the route of my problems at 4Ghz. Rebooting now to bios.
 
i get the same installer message with the drivers off the AMD site Matt :)

Anyway, set all LLC to Auto, did not change any voltage and it's booted into Windows ok. Volts have dropped a little but now lets stress it. You are a very bad influence. do you know this.

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean?

Less heat and more stability without LLC, win win.

That could explain it, going off the size they could well be making people who want the "Windows 10 64bit" version of the chipset drivers also download the 32 bit drivers plus the drivers for every AMD GPU lol.

I can't as in work however the Radeon chipset installer gave the same messages it would when installing one of my GPUs (even though my Ryzen system uses Nvidia), and finished with this (not this exact pic, I Googled this one, but it's what I saw):
 
I backed mine off to 3.95 / 3300 RAM running at 1.325 (load is average 1.276 under stress) but will look to reduce that.

Better thermals and energy efficiency for little performance loss.
 
Anyone form current owners using beQuiet Dark Rock 3 for cooling the CPU? Would that be enough to keep the temperatures at reasonable level under overclock around 3,9Ghz?
I am trying to push a button to purchase the whole rig but I am not sure what mobo + ram to use. I am opting for 1700 not X. Can someone can suggest what motherboard i will work with high freq. RAM?

Cooler will be just fine.

Check the QVL list for whatever board you're interested in, x370 or B350. No difference performance wise that you would notice, just comes down to I/O ports and bells and whistles like SLI.

Corsair LPX 3200 works for me, otherwise TridentZ is a good choice too.
 
the increased smoothness can be down to the use of nvme drives but usually it is down to the context switching speed of the CPU due to thermal/speedstep management. quite simply the latest generation chips can context switch their speeds far faster than the older ones .

in practical terms this means Zen or at least a Skylake. anything older won't appear as smooth regardless of what the 'my 2500k still going strong' crew bleet :)
 
No NVME here, just the same SSDs as with my 5960x.

Got 4.150Ghz stable @ voltage of 1.526v under 100% load. Removing LLC has definitely given me extra headroom. Think I'm close to the limit now, 4.2Ghz may be just out of reach, but perhaps i can get 4.175Ghz at 1.56v or under.

If I put 2*16GB LPX 3000 in and set the XMP(or whatever it is) is it like Intel and it changes lots of CPU setting so it like I have overclocked it and the turbo/XFR stops working?
 
My kit arrived today...

A "little" over budget ;) Big thank to AMD Matt for the MM CPU I bought off him. Upgrading from a Sandybridge 2500k @ 4.1Ghz.
 
You're in for a nice upgrade and i should be able to provide you with some overclock settings to get you to 4Ghz 24/7 on all cores.

I think 4.025Ghz was 1.46v if i remember correctly. 4Ghz was 1.417v. Make sure you overclock via P State and not Base frequency/multiplier.

Perfect, thanks Matt. I think I'll get another cooler before I head over to 4Ghz first though :)
