Ryzen Owners Zen Garden

Sure, but enough games out there that dont need more, just to be playable,
especially when looking at console.
and fact is, more and more tvs (and monis) are now getting VRR, making the need for "constant/locked in" fps a lot less relevant.

I rather have a 43/49in uhd tv with vrr running a 2070,
than a vsynced moni running a ti@60.

All this talk of liquid metal makes me want to put it on my 3900 but that would definitely void my laptop warranty.

Something to look forward to when it expires though.

Still this unbalanced power draw would help things along massively.

30 fps feels sluggish and slow compared to 60. And 120 FPS feels even better than 60. Facts. If you can't see it, maybe you're just in denial. But 30 fps is only good for movies, not gaming ("cinematic gaming experience" my ass ). For gaming it is the bare minimum, but I have to say, I even played successfully with less than 15 fps. The Fraps recording tool fucked my fps back then:

There is a fps counter in the middle part of the console on the bottom, as well as ping, which is never a issue where i live.

Looking forward to Zen 3, @Adored posted a new video with more infos, it will be great I guess.

I frame capped to 30 fps. in ARMA 3: Contact due bad performance on my 2700X.
It is a matter of getting used to it. After 5 minutes you won't notice it
My 8600K @5Ghz got about 8-10 more fps in the same scene compared to the Ryzen. It is the same in Old Man, but in the regular campaign the Ryzen gets to 60 and above in most scenes.
I just want a 6c/12t Ryzen CPU with high IPC that matches or surpasses my "old" 8600K @ 4.7-5Ghz.

Now we know why he never wore the black suit... Man likes his R.G.B.

Was hoping he call Brainiac for troubleshooting tho.

I can just vision him hitting the bottle in the home bar due to Xmp boot loops ,then his evil twin turning up, to f shit up stroppy kid style.


Oops sorry wrong cannon.

And century doh

I wish I was there to give him tips and guide him through that build...

The Barry White was a nice touch... Pun intended...

Apparently my Ryzen 5 3600 is dead. I haven’t had the case open until right now. All I did was play Skyrim then shutdown as I was leaving for work.

Since I got home from work it won’t post. It just sits on the debug LED for the CPU. Finally gave up and swapped the 3600 for the Ryzen 3 1200 I still have, the computer posted on first push of the power switch.

Thinking of swapping the 1200 for the 3600 and try one last time. I wasn’t using PBO, I disabled it so XFR boosting to 4.2 GHz was it.

check the pins, follow my bad example

The pins are fine, nothing missing, no tarnishing/discoloring, and falls into the socket without resistance.

I did notice a reduction in CPU benchmark scores in AIDA64 over what it’s always benches yesterday. Did it degrade?

 

[Mussels]

could well be a random failure, for sure

 

[biffzinker]

I can get it to post again once after swapping the CPUs but after that nothing. The 1200 though posts everytime. :/

OK So I just opted to adjusting PPT. It's at 80W (running at 3.6GHz) and it no longer goes beyond 80C on Cinebench.

In-game temps (Grid: Autosport) never went beyond 73C, so that's good as well. Looks like just changing PPT already did a lot.

Had some time for finetuning so I set it to 3.8GHz now - the temp difference is negligible compared to 3.6GHz, so no point sacrificing that small performance boost.

And CPB is the biggest culprit of bringing the stock cooler to 95C anyway, PPT and vcore offset just brought a 4C decrease; turning off CPB lowered temps by 11C. LOL

 

[Mussels]

Has anyone with an all core overclock noticed that benches/temps still change with PBO settings?

I've noticed some oddities there

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

@Mussels how on earth did you get the 3700X to OC 4.3 on all core with 1.2v? Mine is stable at 1.325v @4.3 and it is a brand new CPU (got it replaced recently)

 

[AsRock]

How many cores you need now ?, what about people who keep there computers for years longer, as games are getting more demanding and started to use more cores it might be worth having more cores.

I was starting to notice games on my old 3770k getting loaded 75%.

No idea, silicon lottery?

Just end tasked a few background processes...

I gotta debloat my OS or something

Nice, what kind of temps do you get? did you use any torture software to test for stability?

 

[Mussels]

cinebench with a 600 second loop tends to be a great starting point, threw another zero on that and walked away and let it test

it seems to trigger the black screen crash so much faster than any other stress testing tools

I feel like all the software for my peripherals/RGB etc i whats eating the CPU usage, as i can vary from 4900 to 5200 points depending whats running when it's already slimmed down...

Pretty much this. I have yet to see an example of the 3000 series that can not hit 4.3 or 4.4 all core. The voltage requirements are effectively the only variable.
