Ryzen "2" ?

So after much faffing, I'm running a -0.08v offset on the CPU, can't change BCLK at all or lose boost, regardless of other settings, but getting decent per-core of 4.355GHz and all-core 4.15GHz on the stock cooler, at reasonable temps on Ryzen Balanced power profile.

Guess I can't grumble too much at that...

So..... does overclocking not kill the precision boost thing?
 
Running mine a bit before tinkering.
So... without touching anything (except DOCP set on memory) I get cores happily stepping up to 4.34ghz (most I think I've seen was 4.347, basically... 4.35ghz boost is working). However, the core VID on each can be as high as 1.494v max (average is VASTLY lower, more like 1.36v
Anything to be alarmed about? That's all completely stock. It's under water and temperatures top out at 64.7 tctl and 58.4 tdie, just... seemed a bit high on voltage?

From what I've read, they're only split second jumps to that voltage, if you check them on load they stabilise (or at least for me) at something like 1.3Xv
 
Yeah those voltages are fine as it's for short periods and only on a couple of cores at a time, it's perfectly fine stock behaviour.

Most likely not. My 1600X scared me with voltages for the first few weeks, but a lot of reading around drove me to the conclusion that this is how XFR works, and it is why you can't get an all-core overclock as high as XFR can boost a single core. AMD say it is completely normal, and I've seen people posting as high as 1.6v spikes. Mine tends to cap at 1.525 under stock speeds.

On another note entirely, my HWInfo lacks the average column, did you do anything clever to make it happen? :)

Also bah. I was just about ready to swap to an 8700K and now I'm flip flopping back to maybe just buying the best X470 motherboard I can find and sticking with this 1600X until the 3000 series launches. There just isn't a future with an Intel motherboard :(
 
The Prime Pro x370 has Core Performance Boost in the bios but no Performance Enhancer.

I'm not sure if the CH6 x370 has it?

If it doesn't that alone set to level 2 on a CH7 would according to an article gain you 200MHz across all cores.

There's been an update tonight for my mobo. I'll have another look but I doubt Core Performance Boost has been added.

This was alt+tabbed while gaming so yeah the "current" looks fine. Ty, figured would be a minor spikes thing.

Check the version? Maybe uninstall+delete install folder + reinstall as you might have an ini file where it wasn't added? This is untouched from installing newest version :)
 
Looks like 6 core CCX's are still on the cards!

The quote sounds more like an official confirmation, but either way, we have known for quite a while for the presence of the 96-thread Starship server CPU.

I think Zen 2 will be a beast. Looking forward to it.

In die size, it should actually be smaller, but yes, performancewise it should be something exciting.

12 Core mainstream :)

24 Core HEDT

48 Core server

It is interesting how in January 2017 (a little over one year ago), we only had a 4-core from Intel.
Two years later, in Q1 2019, we will have a 12-core filling the same market demand.

Thanks God there is AMD to give us more at faster pace.
When Intel gives 8-cores, AMD will still give us 12-cores, up from 6-cores vs 8-cores.
Actually, the absolute gap will increase, from 2 cores up to 4 cores.


I don't know if it hasn't already happened. They probably already have engineering samples in the laboratories.
 
They are sampling Vega 7nm, they still have work to do on TR2 and any Epyc Zen+ (if planned..?) - but yeah it can't be that long until they will be sampling Zen2 if they arn't already

6 core CCX will probably introduce some wierd perks and extra problems to solve so I expect it will need a lot more development time than zen+

Please don't **** this up AMD you've been doing so well...
 
In my case, it seems to. All ok until I try 101 BCLK, then it's locked at 37x multi. Change it back to 100 and all is well again... Guess I'll be leaving it at 100 then!

Nah you are doing it wrong. I have bclk 101 and the boost works correctly. :)

To use bclk change and have it work you need to do similar to the following. (However the voltages required for the settings below is quite high)

From the recent shareholder meeting Lisa Su said Zen2 was "complete" and Zen3 was "on track". So it's all in the fabs hands to make 7nm work now!

Binned Batch is 1807. Now Finish work do 5k do training and can start playing with this :)
