Ryzen "2" ?

Got the 2700X in last night and gave it a test. Annoyingly the IMC is worse than the 1700 it replaced. G Skill Flare X 3200.

Boots fine at XMP but fails the first test of Prime non-avx. Raising the soc voltage to 1.2 and dram voltage to 1.4 didn't help.

I have to go down to 3066 to not get any errors.

same boat as @opethdisciple

What do you think my chances of returning the cpu are after opening the seal and installing it? (not from OCUK).

What mobo are you running?
 
Wonder if it's an issue with the new AGESA + 2700X + Mobo combination. Seems odd you both can't do 3200 on B-die when it's effortless for almost everyone else!

My hope is that it is a bios issue. On overclock.net others have reported the need to lower ram speed or enable LLC in order to run their ram at the same clock speed.

Hmm. Still could be the mobo then.

Although muddy waters as others running same board have ram higher than 3200MHz.

I've read mixed reports regarding the X370 boards. Even some CH6's cant run the ram at DOCP.

But then is it just CPU's with poor IMC's.

Even a BIOS issue? :confused:

I have had the ram at 3200 with the 1700 it replaced. All stable at xmp, although the bios has been updated since then to support the new cpus.

I'll put the old cpu in later and see how it goes to rule out the bios version being the problem.

Also going to try inputting the ram timings manually and trying looser timings.

Not happy though, it should just work.

If it is just a bios issue then brill, no big deal. I've also got a MSi B350 board I can try it with.

if the problem is just the prime, it'll be a good excuse to get a z490 board when they're out.

After messing around with memory settings yesterday reverted back to 3200, left MemTest running this morning wanted to make sure it reaches 1000% before I stop playing with mem settings till a new bios or something.
So when I remoted into my PC earlier to check staus I noticed this on HWINFO! is this a bug??? Never seen a core go past 4.4 before usually around 4.3.

Think it will be a bug. :p
 
So is it worth me waiting for the x490 motherboard over an x470 for my 2700x upgrade?

And will they cost much more than a x470?

Totally agree about the fan issue. I am tempted to just leave it on max atleast that way I will get use to the fan noise after a while where as the constant up and down is painful

I have dialled my water pumps up a notch and increased the lowest fan speed. Which has lessened the issue, its just not as quiet at lower temperatures, though its by no means loud. :)

You mean the rumoured Z470? We know next to nothing about them. I don't even understand how they're going to magically add more PCIe lanes to the chipset - surely they are still bandwidth limited by the number of PCIe lanes from the CPU to the chipset (4x 3.0 I believe) so doesn't actually help anything?
 
I just watched a video with Gamers Nexus saying that AMD have killed the 'z'490 board, it isnt gona happen. Which means at least i know what board to buy now :)

 
I finally got my Ryzen system built and I have a couple of questions;

I presume as Ryzen is so sensitive to RAM speed/timings I’m better off setting up the RAM and getting it stable before messing with CPU overclocking / turning on peformance boosts etc?

Having never run any sort of RAM Test, I’ve got Karhu’s RAM test as it was recommended on here. I assume it is a case of run it for a couple of hours and if there’s no errors I should be good?

Yeah, worth doing RAM first and yeah run Ram Test to 1000%+.
