Ryzen "2" ?

Got a response...
He seems genuine enough, but he's using 'hardware monitor' to get his readings, and according to that, XFR is giving him single-core boosts up to 5.3GHz, with stock settings.

Says he knows quite a few people who've clocked their 2700Xs to 5GHz.

I left it there... :D

Lol, according to HWMonitor, mine boosts to 6ghz sometimes.

Have used it for years but it doesn't do clock speeds accurately for Ryzen.
 
The latest reply: I give up. This guy obviously has the bestest 2700X on the planet.

Copied verbatim:

'Yea i figured hardware monitor was doing that so i double checked it with 2 or 3 other monitor programs and i did use HWinf064 as well as it was recommended from a friend. was getting the same results.

i dont recall the exact lock settings but i have the voltage set below 1.5v and have it set to run the base clock at 4.8ghz and turbo clock to 5.1ghz, it hits the 5.1ghz mostly during stress testing or when im playing cpu intensive games or doing editing stuff.'
 
Just to add my two cents hw monitor reported my cpu doing 4700mhz roughly last night .... I was like get the heck out .... something defo not reporting correct clocks , as afterburner was topping out at 3400mhz during the same loads
 
Need advice, i have put my 6700K system back together to use as a gaming PC and will be using the 2700X for a streaming PC.. question is i need 8GB of RAM for the stream PC.

So which RAM do i get for this?

Advice would be appreciated..

So far im looking at these for my MSI X470 Gaming Pro AC Motherboard..

This one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...nel-kit-black-red-tdprd48g3000-my-069-tg.html

I have the 16GB version of this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...annel-kit-red-cmk8gx4m2b3000c1-my-443-cs.html

If you're just using it as a streaming PC any ram will do, so just go for the cheapest, at £90 that is the Team Group Dark Pro.

Cheer bud, ordered the kit you suggested.. i think the price drop and the tighter timings sways it too.

I have an Elgato HD60 Pro coming tomorrow also.. should be up and running pretty soon.

Reinstalling Windows 10 on 2 PC's is no joke though LoL

Thanks Humbug :)

cool, sometimes my son can play for an hour with no issues and then in the space of 5 mins get it twice and be ok for awhile again.

My bios is on default and only XMP enabled and 2GB dedicated to the gpu, oh and UEFI (secure boot) enabled.

Okay, so coming back to this, my son has noticed something very similar (but not identical).

In his case, the screen goes black, not green, when playing Minecraft for a while. Otherwise, it's as you describe - alt-tabbing out and back in returns the display. This happens fairly often, apparently. He estimates three or four times during the hour of screen time he's allowed.

Did you ever manage to find a resolution for the problem you were having? Aside from the colour of the screen when it locks up, it sound the same.

Sounds the graphics card/driver stopped responding and recovered. I would try other drivers and check if the power supply is ok.

I found no solution to it, AMD have a ticket open about this.

I tried everything to resolve and under the AMD drivers post I have been speaking with AMDmatt about it and done everything he asked for troubleshooting and even doing new installs of windows 10 and passing over every bit of information I could about the system.

I changed psu's, done a rma on the processor, clean install of W10 in legacy and UEfi mode and also just had minecraft installed with nothing else etc nothing has fixed it . I am yet to test with the latest drivers which are installed but not played they game. Did you have 18.7.1 drivers on? You got the same issue but different screen. Another fix is to disconnect and re connect the hdmi cable as this resolves it again. It's also just minecraft I have the problems with and every other game is fine.

Thank you for testing and letting me know.

Maybe @LtMatt will be interested to hear this too

Also just Minecraft here that has a problem (well, he only plays Fortnite otherwise, but that is fine and never had a problem with it).

I do have 18.7.1 drivers, yeah.

Having Googled this, it seems (as I think you said) that this is a far from uncommon problem, so I hope AMD fix it soon (presumably it's driver related...?).

I had same issues with my Intel/Nvidia setup and it ended up being the monitor that was faulty and caused when I had certain FPS. Unplugging and replugging in the HDMI was my fix for this and would only happen on certain games as well.

Interesting, I maybswap it over with my main pc and see if it does it or not.

Maybe setting a cap in the game may help

Have you tried actually underclocking your processor/memory to see if it solves it? people tend to think that driver errors must be driver/GPU related but at the end of the day the driver is software (which plays a big part during gaming) so any instability in the processor/memory can cause it to crash. Since Minecraft is not particularly stressful it could be that the CPU is boosting too much. It might be worth underclocking your GPU as well as that could be boosting too much. I know those aren't really solutions but it might help to diagnose the problem.

I have tried a A6 9500 processor with r5 igpu and I had no issues using the same ram and mobo.

I haven't tried underclocking anything but everything. In the bios is set to default except xmp enabled and 2gb to the gpu.

I have tried the ram at 2400mhz which made no difference and even with the bios on factory. It's only a issue on the 2200g as the 9500 was fine
 
Slightly breaking the topic.

I wasn't happy with the stock 2700x Wraith Prism cooler. I have a silent system (5x be quiet! 120mm wing 3) and I could always hear the cpu cooler running up and down.

Also temps were a bit poor imo. ~40-50'c idle and constantly in the high 60's under medium load. Easily in to the 70's under more load.

So I've grabbed a Dark Rock Pro 4.

It's genuinely silent even under full load and has dropped idle temps to just a few above ambient (27'c currently), load temps are down 10-13'c. Even stress testing struggles to get it past last 60's which I believe is really good for Ryzen.

I also note that Ryzen Master was reporting 4.3GHz on all 8 clocks when fully loaded. That never happened before, I was getting a few cores at 4.25GHz but I don't recall seeing all 8 cores pegged and flatout.
