Ryzen "2" ?

Annoyingly Windows keeps changing my power plan settings, minimum processor state keeps getting set to 100% from the 40% I have set. :confused:

If you've got some mobo vendor software like Asus AISuite with TPU set it will override your windows settings constantly - might be the same for other mobos if not on Asus
 
Someone here had random wi dows shotdowns with zen+??? Or at ocnet cant remember but today updated windows to newest version and had first shotdown ever....

Like it just turned itself off for no reason when started 3dmark benchmark to state where i had tu turn off psu to boot system back up!!!

First thing i had this with my system and its cool here ect....

Something in windows is screwed. Also gflops in ibt went DOWN by... Freaking 14. Takes extra 16 second to complete 10 loops vs old windows version.
Generally massive downgrade lol

Also power draw went 6-7 watts down when running ibt ran it 3 times when i was maxing at 213-214 now max was 206. Could by why it scores Less.. Wants to save the freaking planet and wooping few watts lol.
 
If your ram and cpu can handle it, 15-15-15 @3500 is worth looking at. There was defo an uplift on my combined score by trying it.

Was playing around abd got 3600cl15 pass 2000% at 1.48 volts. But there is the standard ryzen problem.... Infinity fabric cant handle it :( can pass ibt ect but y cruncher is failing to pass even 1 loop cause of it 3533cl15 is max

Wod be good for gaming but not rendering :p
 
He does more analysis than anything else but he does also review and test. He has a playlist of his hardware reviews and his most recent video is a test of StoreMI.
I quite like his Analysis but found his StoreMI review and some of his others a bit lacking tbh. What he did was show that as a Hybrid solution it was a definite step up from a standard spinning disk, but there was no comparison to either a standard SSD or an M.2 drive to show if a gap still remained to using an SSD array or seperate SSD's as needed.
He also anecdotally noted that the SSD Vs HDD usage once a game had optimized using StoreMI but he made no attempt to throw a decent number of games on the drive to stretch what would start to happen when you got closer to capacity. The whole recommendation pitch that he used was that it meant you could install more games/programms on a drive and then optimize them on the fly when you decide to pick one of them up. He could have actually tested to see if that worked but didn't.

I have a budget 1tb SSD as my only drive currently. It works really well and would be a very similar cost to his 2TB + 256 SSD setup. Obviously I am on a B350 board so I am not going to be getting StoreMI any time soon - but even on a budget I chose to have a better level of performance than I think he is going to get with StoreMI... but I just don't know from how he tested it.

If I was going down the Flagship X470 route on a new build I don't know that I would want to use anything with a markedly slower performance than SSD access speeds either. Although I can imagine using a hibrid of a mid sized M.2 Drive for daily use and then a 4TBHDD + SSD for everything else.

Sorry not trying to derail the thread completely... just it was the first thing he has done recently that left me cold.
 
Where did you get a 1TB SSD for £114? =)

250GB Crucial SSD £60
1TB Crucial SSD £190
Seagate 1TB £39
Seagate 2TB £54
Seagate 4TB £86
Seagate 8TB £195

Total Costs
---
1TB + 250GB SSD = £99
2TB + 250GB SSD = £114
4TB + 250GB SSD = £146
1TB Crucial SSD = £190
8TB + 250GB SSD = £255

The StoreMI proposition could be good for gamers with big steam libraries (assuming it's bug free). The major drawback is that it's essentially RAID0 using a software driver. I'd like to see some proper reviews and benchmarks of it for sure.

Enabling the 2GB Ram cache might remove the 'first run' slowdowns that were observed in the AdoredTV video.

Yup tightening of RAM definitely helps Ryzen 1, mine would run a couple of hundred points extra at 3466c14 think I went from a high 8 something to 9.3-9.5k I'll have to dig it up, I had that age of problem of cold boot at that rating and had to drop back to 3333, still plenty quick enough.

1TB £33 + 16gb Intel Optane Memory £15 = £48 plus using 2GB of ram :D
 
For the people that have a CH6 that have gone from a 17** to a 2700x has the upgrade been worth it in your opinion?
 
People buy ****** hynix based ddrs and expect to have 3000+ on ryzen with no problems.
That's because prior to the Ryzen launch there was no way of knowing about the horrific memory support.

Still laughing at suckers that got cheap hynix based kits in first week of ryzen living dream that the kits will go full speed after bioss update. One year late still waiting for that magical bios lol
Yeah, congrats on getting super lucky with your choice of motherboard and RAM, much skill, very impress.

I'm very happy with mine. Left it at stock (with the XFR stuff enabled) and put my RAM at the XMP profile - it's whizzing away. It's certainly hotter than my 1700 but that's to be expected.

NO at OCUK ONE WEEK BEFORE LUNCH we had this thread.
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/ryzen-ddr4-memory-what-you-need-to-know.18770248/

So week before RYZEN was reviewed ect information that you want Single rank Samsung B or worst case Hynix single rank was All over internet. So everyone that ware looking in to building new ryzen system had this information avaiable if they ware bothered to GOOGLE for 1 minute or ask on any Forums What to order. There was massive thread about What memory to get on OCUK also.


If You consider 3 CPUS and 4 Memory kits lucky then YES THANKS :) Dat extra 70-80 quid for shipping stuff back and forth was 100% worth it :)
