AMD Ryzen Discussion Thread.

Could be a genuine case but it's worse that the location is Russia (no offence to cosmo12).

And lol at your sig, I vaguely remember that night. Ended up with a bruised fist after punching a dance floor........

Funny I'm not the only one here going to metal clubs

Hello guys! I'd like to update my laptop to ryzen7. I have written a benchmark, showing CPU speed in parsing text files.

Here is results for my CPU (i7-3610qm). Can you test your ryzens and upload results?

Benchmark
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5fzk/GXCZpaDoe

Source code (c#)
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Gi5v/j7i6tYdho

Writing files for a test... done in 3.68 sec.

Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor
Cores - 8, virtual cores - 16

Singlethread testing... done in 22.17 sec.
Multithread testing... done in 3.06 sec.

Multithreading coefficient - 7.25

So, I noticed my new ram didn't seem to be running at the listed speed, so I set it to the proper speed and got 3 beeps(and damn near a heart attack) upon reboot.

I guess it eventually reset itself back because after a few attempts it finally rebooted.

Thoughts...???

Thanks

Try the "baby steps" approach and see if that helps.

I am guessing your memory is dual ranked and defaulted to SPD of 2400 or 2666mhz?

Need part number for your RAM. Specs don't matter as much as if they're actually supported by AMD.

They aren't the only gskill products on the QVL at 3200 CL14. Those are not samsung -b

Ok, I think I see where I went wrong.

My ram does not appear on the officially supported list.

And not of the rams listed list at 3200.
But the board clearly says 3200.

I feel hosed...

Next time do a bit more research even before launch it was made completely known that they would not do over 2666 with dual rank dimms with launch BIOS's.

Quite right, shouldda wouldda couldda. But didn't.
I gotta wonder why the claim 3200 when clearly that is not accurate.

Mind you, it's not the end of the world, the system is already way faster than I'll ever need....

I was super careful and paid extra due to the rarity of GSkill ram in the UK. But got the RGB version of the ones on the QVL. Been fine since the start.

Had problems in general with stability at 3.9Ghz but now I've sussed why. Huge Vdroop meant 1.43v was dropping to 1.36-1.39v.
Used a higher LLC, (4 or 5) and the 1.44 is coming through as 1.43 under stress test load. Temps are okay on air (Tctl 70 max but average 65) and VRM only maxed at 65, despite phases on extreme.
Getting happier now. 4Ghz might be out of the question as the temps rise another 20 degrees just for 100mhz

 

[Rickkins]

Yea, that's the thing too. I moved quicker than I might have because I wanted to hand down my fx-8350 to my son, who lost everything but the cloths on his back in a fire 1 month ago. He really needed a win.

So, it is what it is and no regrets.

if you pick the correct ram it clocks just fine

What cooler are you using? Not that I'm switching from my current one.

I've had up to 3650mhz stable on the ram with no real difficulty, the memory controller on the chip seems very capable. I'd put money on it they can do more when new bioses are released with tertiary timings available.

Edit: iirc you got even further than that with high SoC voltage, right @cdawall ?

 

[Aenra]

Does anyone have any 2x16Gigs to share results with? And if yes, paste their code please

3700-3800 was were I was stopped.

Have you tried searching here? What motherboard you want to pair it with?

I've got a combo in my head, but since i still got time to build it (it's a birthday gift rig) am waiting it out, see where we are in the near future.
Am asking because the few Ryzen mobos QVLed RAM sets i've seen at 16x2 go around 2400MHz. Tops. So was wondering if we've got anyone that's managed to push them higher/how much

edit: combo.. forgot, lol. The ASRock 370 Pro gaming + GSkill Flares (2x8g) / Fortis (2x16g), depending on the above.

You can still search by motherboard or by RAM in that site: see if that helps narrow it down.

Will check again, but unless i missed something, the ones you can click for further results are all 4x8g.

 

[RealNeil]

So 4-8GB sticks don't work well? That's what would be ideal for my use.

 

[hellrazor]

Does anybody know what kinds of numbers memtest gives for cache speeds?
