AMD Ryzen Discussion Thread.

the way I understood was 2 channels are handle by each die(2 X CCX)

If that's so, we have our answer already
Can anyone else verify this?

As to the rest of your question.. valid point, but it's about good measure. With what i do, anything near 8cores is fine. More is just bonus, not must. On the contrary, when i'm not into work/music and as such do not need all them cores, freqs come to be of some import. I will be using it for "mainstream"/"casual" stuff as well, you know?
So, a bit of both worlds is where i'm (currently) leaning towards.

@R-T-B hmm, i see. My impression was that with one die "dead", the L3 would only be occupied from one die and as such there'd no need for the extra 'hops'. Dumb huh..
Thanks for the info

edit: dammit, i really want to buy something AMD this time around.. aaarrgh, lol

This is about Epyc but the Thread ripper works the same way.

Within the processor, each chip has three IF links, one to each of the other three chips. Each link runs at up to 42GB/s in each direction. The speed of these links matches the 42GB/s of memory bandwidth offered by the two channels of 2,667MHz DDR4 memory that each individual chip supports, and what this means is that any one chip within the Epyc MCM can use the full memory bandwidth of the entire processor without bottlenecks.

So why wouldn't you just throw down fan an 1800x, best chance of higher clocks on all eight cores

Greed, lol? Wanted the best of both
Will obviously be waiting, i wanna see some tests first, but.. as you can see, better i asked first ^^

Has anyone tried fiddling with lowering the frequency of idle cores on this beast to improve power consumption?

its already idle... using barely any power... why would we choose that?

If you alter Pstate 0 it will alter the remaining Pstates speed, that would be one reason. Just because you can would be another

 

[Durvelle27]

What cooler would you suggest

 

[Johan45]

Any good air cooler will do fine. These aren't nearly as hot as the FX were.

Ryzen 1600

I'm running a 1600x at 3.93 with a crappy CM V8 11 hrs on P95. I would go for one of the smaller noctuas if you don't want to put out for the D15. I have one and it's great. Cool and quiet

Here's some work I did this weekend on the MSI Titanium

V8 is far from crappy

 

[EarthDog]

V8 is far from crappy

Its far from great, too.. frighteningly mediocre?

Alright sell it to me

 

[Johan45]

I bought that V8 when I was in a pinch once and for the money I spent it was not worth it. A Noctua wouldn't have been much more and by far superior TBH . This V8 isn't much better than a Hyper 212 IMO

Id say the reason we arnt all using the features available because in my case anyway, is because I'm still on a beta bios. as soon as the official bios arrives I imagine most will spend hours trying to tune the bios to park most of the cores it isn't using. this system isn't that power hungry though. the power draw and heat goes up so much over 4.1 that it just isn't worth it. the cpu is already very fast. if amd could design a version that could hit 4.5 -5ghz we would be in 7700k territory. until then most of us will be @ 3.9-4.1ghz using 280-350w.
also there are many old threads which show the wrong levels of performance. basically with slow ram. these threads are misleading and a lot of opinions about this chips performance are way off. this chip equals the 4770k single core and beats it single core with fast ram. it literally doubles multicore performance across the board. those that can keep their 4770k's cool will still have great gaming performance. but there is no comparison when you look at absolutely anything else. I'm really happy with my 1800x and 3466mhz ram. on an m.2 windows is almost instant. games load in seconds. desktop performance is accelerated. just amazing. my boot time is about 10s.

 

[Johan45]

You're right puecain, once you get past the quirks it really is a decent system. Would be nice if AMD could pick up the speed a bit but not likely till the nest release IMO

 

[Durvelle27]

Is the MSI B350 Gamig Pro a decent board

 

[EarthDog]

Better asked in your build thread.. this is about CPUs, not your build thread bud.

LOL, better than spamming the forums with info requests for builds...

For what your uses are on that machine, it will be fine.. get your head out of the minutia and order your damn machine already.

 

[trparky]

I've seen the name "Kyzen" thrown about being connected to the AMD. I'm assuming that it's connected to the Zen architecture but beyond that there's not much more. Anyone else have anymore ideas?

 

[Durvelle27]

Welp I'm excited, my Ryzen build is almost complete

so got the memory stable at 3333 mhz 14-15-15-36 2T - 1.4v on ram (probably excessive, will be dropping) and 1.15v on the SOC - latency down from 73ns to 68ns (aida) - noticeable improvement in the witcher 3 and consistent 1835-1840 cinebench scores...

I notice i have so much less stutter with the "Cinebench 15" Asus performance bias - it is by far the smoothest system i have ever had.
