*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

I'm in the same situation (50/50 on if it would be worth me changing to a 1700(x)), and from what iv seen the 1700(x) would be a very slight upgrade in real world performance over the 5820K. Iv now pushed my 5820k to 4.3/4.2Ghz for daily usage and still looking at my options.

FYI my day-to-day workloads include compiling huge software packages (such as android OS and chromium OS/browser).

i mean, the least hassle would be to get a 6800 / 6850k opposed to getting a whole new mobo/cpu. But im intrigued with these and if the overall long term value will be worth it.
 
Quick question please.

Why is the chipset driver trying to install gpu drivers?

Chipset drivers downloaded from our website don't contain graphics drivers. If you're getting it via the Motherboard manufacturer then they may bundle display drivers as well.

Anyone using this Ryzen specific power plan?

On default Balanced 2 cores would hit 4.1 regularly just browsing the internet etc but with the Ryzen power plan everything just sits at 3.7 which is all core boost but it doesn't seem to be under any load, fans are quiet just Ryzen Master and Windows reporting 3.7

Is this the same for anyone else that's not OC'd on an X chip? Seems odd.

If you have an application open the wants to use more than 1/2 cores then you won't boost to 4.1, that's on for single thread programs and will sit at boost clock.

Try running Super PI single thread and check to see if XFR is working as it should.
 
Getting a bit miffed now, windows balanced and CPU-Z show cpu downclocking and volts drop to 0.8

Ryzen power plan and CPU-Z shows 3.7 with the odd 4.1 so XFR must be working but Ryzen Master doesn't show it. CPU-Z and under Ryzen power plan it wont downclock past 3.7 and the volts sit at 1.2 and 1.4/1.5 when it hits 4.1

Surely those volts are way to high

Thanks, I'll investigate the XFR issue with the Ryzen Power Profile.

Don't worry about voltage under stock settings XFR, that voltage is needed to push single and dual threads up to 4.1Ghz.

If you're running stock settings with the 1800X, you can undervolt using offset which will reduce the maximum voltage used when XFR boosts to 4.1.

Thanks. 1.5 though? Its freaking me out seeing 1.5 CPU Voltage at stock. If its normal and wont break anything then fine I just want to game and CBA messing around which is why I went the X. If you're sure its normal I'm happy with that

It's perfectly fine. If you want to lower it, use negative offset voltage and stress stability using Intel Burn Test Maximum preset for 5 runs.

You can undervolt 1800X's a fair bit to reduce power draw down to around 75W @ stock when running Prime Small FFT. My 5960x in comparison drew around 150W at stock.
 
Ok thanks Matt. Just to confirm my CPU is 1600X and Ryzen Master does not report over 3.7 on any core with Ryzen power plan enabled, however it reports it fine on balanced

HW Monitor and CPUZ show 4.1 with Ryzen power plan enabled
