Poor to be honest, manufacturers caught out by demand and are about 1-2 weeks behind CPU production.

Are you able to let the first day pre-order people know what to expect on MBs? Specifically the X370 boards (ASUS Crosshair and Gigabyte Aorus)?

Hi there

We are still awaiting 1800X delivery to test those!

Great read up on this CPU, but a bit bothered by this comment, does that mean you've received no 1800X, or just you have none spare to test yourself?

i take it mobo's will be rising in price then if there is a shortage? i have already started saving to get the carbon n 1700 with the nighthawk ram is reason i am asking but if prices are gonna do the same as the memory and ssd's then i'll spend the money on something else.

Zeed · 2 Mar 2017 at 15:24

In that case Will You have Enough MB's for preorders from Day one ??

gibbo, a lots been mentioned about smt, any chance you could test with it disabled and see if there is anymore oc headroom

1800X just arrived!

Gigabyte Mobos too?

When do you anticipate getting more Asus CrossHair VI's Gibbo?

I am really unsure as I don't look after mainboard, I know we have PO on for around 500pc of Crosshair, so they will come as quickly as possible.

Probably missed with all this excitement do we know if ryzen is soldered or pasted between chip and ihs?

there's a couple of youtube delidding vids showing that its soldered

Soldered.

just called OCUK and was told tiny batch tomorrow, bigger batch early next week.

Spuddy · 2 Mar 2017 at 16:33

So is OCUK going to be offering overclocked Ryzen bundles?

Good luck, i decided to cancel mine as I've been promised dispatch on both tomorrow elsewhere. Fingers crossed.

Looking at the reviews so far of which there are many, there is almost certainly something dodgy about some of the game benches, some of the reviewers seem to have issue with cpu temps but that was likely a fault with their setup and not Ryzen itself.

120mm AIO, 1.55v is max safe voltage anything higher invalidates warranty.

Temps were fine, its a very low power CPU!

Surprised AMD are allowing voltages that high given what Toms wrote in their review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-1800x-cpu,4951-4.html

TomsHardware said:
We prefer overclocking from the motherboard firmware, though. Using simple multiplier and voltage adjustments, we achieved a Prime95-stable 4 GHz clock rate at 1.425V using Asus' Crosshair V Hero (that was with load-line calibration set to Auto). The highest temperature we saw was 82°C during our stress test.

Of course, if you're using a cooling solution less capable than our Corsair H100i v2 at its maximum fan/pump settings, overheating could become a problem. AMD predicts that most customers should see somewhere between 3.9 and 4.1 GHz across all cores, and suggests you stick with a 1.35V ceiling if you want your chip to last. Although core voltages in excess of 1.45V are considered sustainable, they'll have a more pronounced effect on longevity.

Others are reporting issues of getting the memory over 2666MHz. Is this motherboard specific?

Doogles · 2 Mar 2017 at 16:58

Thanks Gibbo for doing this for us, this is exactly the kind of bench I wanted to see done it looks like getting a 1700 is the best option. I'm waiting to see how Ryzen pans out maybe I'll be better off waiting for Zen+ with a better IMC?

I'm not an expert but from what I've read it does appear to be down to the motherboard slightly, but mostly I think the IMC is weak? Hoping it just needs some newer BIOS' to come out to give more functionality. Information atm is rather sketchy at best... Not many motherboards support 3200mhz memory, only the top ends appear too, hopefully Gigabyte can release a board under £200 that will do it.

@ Gibbo

4.0 on all cores is realistic for most users with 1700 and decent air/aio, 3000-3200 ram on a decent board then?
