Are you going to have to buy another license?

I'll be reinstalling when I get a 1600X in a couple of weeks and I did the free upgrade from W8.1 it seems completely hit and miss whether or not it activates but if it doesnt its a case of buying a new license which I'm going to have to consider in the cost of the build

I have a couple of old windows 7 machines in storage. Hopefully one of those licenses will work.

Chances are you will probably be fine.
 
Ok, I have a few questions.

HEPT should it be enabled or Disabled? Have seen mixed reports about this.

What's the quickest, easiest way of detecting if there is a problem with my build?

I am just after running OCCT 4.5.0, the Linpack test. It ran for 13 minutes than stopped. It says "stopped error detected" but doesn't say what the error was. It outputted 23 images of various graphs, but none of them show what the error is either. I haven't even tried to overclock yet. The temps were fine 49 degrees, CPU speed was 3741Mhz, FSB 100Mhz.
 
for Windows, I bought a key win 10 pro from "that auction site". It cost me £2.89 and had a mail more or less instantly and activated no issues at all.

I dont even think I am going to be sent a faulty motherboard either!

Just have to look about.

My windows 10 did not acivate in the trouble shooter but I contacted ms via the chat, gave them my windows 7 key and they activated by remote, took about 10 minutes
 
When I built my Ryzen build I installed my retail Windows 8.1pro then took the free upgraded to Windows 10 pro, then re-formatted and fresh installed Windows 10 pro. Took a while but all sorted :)
 
I'll be joining you guys soon! should arrive next Tuesday as everything was in stock... non OCUK order as im a brit in DK but ive ordered enough over the years from OCUK to merit still being able to post here :)

ASRock X370 Taichi Bundkort - AMD X370 - AMD AM4 socket - DDR4 RAM - ATX
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Wraith CPU - 3 GHz - AMD AM4 - 8 kerner - AMD Boxed (PIB)
Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 CPU Køler - Vandkøling - Max 22 dBA
Samsung 960 EVO SSD M.2 2280 - 250GB
G.Skill TridentZ DDR4-3600 C16 DC - 16GB


soooooooooooooooooo looking forward to next week. Upgrading from a 2500k.

Matt.
 
Finally got mine sorted late last night, went together ok only a few small issues
Ryzen 1700
CH6 motherboard
16gb Corsair lpx 3000mhz
RX480 strix
NZXT kraken x52
Corsair rm750i
Samsung 250gb SSD
2 TB Seagate HDD

Firstly it booted up but showed no display, checked everything, took out GPU and back in etc but nothing, decided to fit the standard wraith cooler in place of my X52 kraken and sure enough it came to life display and all, later found that it didn't like the fact it had no CPU fan plugged in and X52 went in to the AIO pump header, turned off the cpu fan monitor in the bios fitted my x52 and booted up no problem, some pics below, settled at 3.9gz 2666 mzh ram, anything more and it wouldn't get into windows, pretty new to overclocking so I haven't went and changed any ram timings

firstly my old motherboard looking slightly dated


new parts

wraith cooler - actually looks good for a standard cooler


all set up














Overall really happy, was a nice step up from my FX6350, temps are good, sits at 28-32 at idle, upto high 30's with light load and didn't go above 55. gaming is smooth as it could be, I only play a few games but my fx used to struggle in overwatch hitting 100% cpu usage and causing some stuttering etc, now I set it at 144hz with 144fps and maybe dips a few frames at best and doesnt miss a beat
 
Ok, I am running an MSI x370 pro carbon with a Ryzen 1700. I seem to be getting pretty low scores in Cinebench compared to what others are getting.

Currently running @3.8Ghz. With Voltage set at 1.35. My ram is running at 2933Mhz.

I am only getting around 1480 in Cinebench. My CPU score in 3D mark TimeSpy demo hovers around the 7000 mark. I thought I would be pushing 1600 in Cinebench and definitely getting 8000 in 3D mark.

My temps go up to 60 degrees when running benchmarks. They idle around 35/36 degrees.

Maybe a sign of instability. Some mad self error correcting going on behind the scenes dragging scores down instead of just throwing up a BSOD. Whenever I got low scores upping the vcore a notch or two fixed it.
 
I got my R7 1700 and ASRock Taichi yesterday. Set it up last night and got an easy 3.9GHz at 1.35V. Temperatures hover around 60-65 with a Noctua NH-U14S under stress test load and in the mid-50s during gaming. Not tried pushing up to 4GHz yet, but it seems nice and stable like this. Haven't been able to get RAM above 2666MHz yet, but then I own an older Hynix dual rank kit, so I wasn't expecting much on that front.

Hi Aretak, good luck with you build, my plan is to also go for a R7 1700 and ASRock Taichi.
May I ask, what settings you changed in the BIOS to have it as stable as that.
Thanks in advance.

Just bumped vcore up to 1.35V and SOC voltage to 1.15V, with level 2 LLC set manually. Overclocking Ryzen seems nice and simple. ASRock's UEFI could do with a little work still, but it's perfectly adequate. Impressed with the quality of the board in general. :)

Thanks Aretak for that info, glad you like that board too. So three easy changes and thats that :)Good luck.
 
I got some Trident Z F4-3866C18D (3866Mhz) to try out, however, I cant even get into the bios so looking like I am going to sell them! LOL! Anyone want them? :D
