Ryzen works when plug and play mate.
most people run into issues when they think their AMD cpu is like intel. Actually over 90% the posts on this forum asking ryzen help are people switching over from intel haswell/skylake generation. Used to intel stepspeed and auto voltage management and thinking That’s what you do to a ryzen CPU and that’s it without understanding the CPU technology.
for you to say that is the cause, it goes to show your lack of knowledge and how ignorant you are.
For comparison, I had 4770k all core Oc at 4.3Ghz it was guzzling down the same amount of power (115w peak) as my first zen CPU - 1600AF which is a 2600, but the 2600 is over 2x faster in all aspect. That is efficiency for you. Anyway I had no problems setting up that CPU. Currently on 3900x which is another massive step up in terms of performance/W. I am again getting twice as much performance over the 1600AF for about 30% more power consumption, so I have options to run full fat or undervolted.
Intel systems really hasn’t given that sort of performance leverage at all, even when 11th gen is considered.
I tried amd..and never will again.
You have to use the top ram(not cheap 3000hz) ram for the board to work.
And to get the maximum out of it, you need to buy a AMD GPU as well. No thanks
I'm not downgrading.
