Pics of my current build till i upgrade few parts & come back here by end of this year, enjoy:

P.S. Shot with Galaxy J3 (2016), 8MP (4:3) 3264x2448 cam. Sony's Alpha A77 II costs 5000 - 7000 sheckels (~1500 - 2000USD), and i don't have that kind of money. And yeah, i slightly modded my HAF X - in place of HDD/SSD cage there's pump at the bottom where the cage used to be. Cheers all, see y'all by the end of this year.

Looks good

 

[YautjaLord]

@Johan45: Yeah, I know right? jk

Y'all won't believe this shit, check this out: haven't tested AvP3 DX11 yet, but did test Carmageddon: Max Damage, last time i played it, i got to the point of where i chose 10 ton cop vehicle, turned on sirens/horn, ZBANG - BSOD, hard reset, no game, lol; now i could play the City B level from the beginning til the end. How? Left vCore to 1.45v, lowered SoC voltage to it's highest 1.1v voltage (from 1.35v) & VDD18 to 1.8v (from 2.1v); the game abso-f*ckin-lutely hated this OC, CPU LLC right now @ Extreme tho. But i still have a month or 2 to tweak & stabilize this OC. Got 70+ or even 100+ fps stead of measly 40/50+ fps i had prior to that; with single GTX 760 DC II!!!!!

P.S. Got lower score in Cinebench R15 tho: 1598cb, stead of last highest 1648cb with these tweaks, once i'll get HyperX 3200 or even 3333MHz DDR4 Predator 2x8GB sticks will test it with 1.35v SoC & 2.0v VDD18 voltages. Cheers.

I still think you're overvolting to compensate for the DR stick of ram, also do yourself a favour. Save the cash and get a decent set of Samsung based ram. It'll save you all kinds of headaches

 

[YautjaLord]

@Johan45: Checked for a few modules, AnandTech or Tom's HW says these Hynix-based single rank/single sided 3200/3333MHz HyperX Predator sticks will work great on my Gaming K7, besides money's not the issue by December this year or January next year, thanx regardless. Cheers.

 

[phanbuey]

Oh hai guys, i've gone double zen just to hang out here

See specs/sig for details

My build, with all its messy cabling: (140mm fan cools the VRMs)

Wifes tidy, RGB Ryzen build

Clean builds are clean.

 

[TheMailMan78]

So I hope to be ditching my current rig (2600k) and moving on to a 1700x here soon. Has anybody done that in here, and if so what can I expect?

 

[YautjaLord]

@TheMailMan78: If it helps, i'm considering buying i7 7700K & GA-AZ270-Gaming-K7 + 2nd HAF X just to compare to my current rig (see my sys specs), but regardless, i'd still urge you (for a lack of a better word) to get one; heck, you can compare your 2600K & this beast in both productivity & gaming. I would. Cheers.

@Johan45: Which of these 2 you'd recommend:

G. Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz 2x8GB CL16: https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3600c16d-16gvk
or HyperX Predator 3200MHz 2x8GB: https://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/memory/predator-ddr4?Speed=3200MHz&Module Capacity=8GB&Total (Kit) Capacity=16GB&Kit=Kit of 2

HyperX Predator is Hynix single rank/single sided module & it can be OC'd to desired frequencies & it's XMP 2.0 just like G. Skill's Ripjaws V & is one of highly recommended RAM modules for Ryzen. (CL might be higher then Ripjaws V's tho) Will buy either one of these by next year, Jan 10 to be more specific.

Windows will be really snappy, threaded tasks will scream. Current games will be identical, most software will be identical/slower depending.

i went from a 3770k to a 1700, short version:

max FPS on low GPU load (so 720p gaming, old games) will be slightly lower (so 220FPS->200FPS), min FPS will be more stable, average FPS will be far more consistent especially with background tasks

proper multi threaded tasks, around double the performance

 

[R-T-B]

That's crazy talk, man. No one in this thread uses AMD. We are just roleplaying.

what can I expect?

Based on your avatar... Your computer will now BE GOOD?

Seriously, I went from a 7700k to a r7 1800x and I think it was a good move. But my workload is REALLY multithreaded with the occasional game.

In games, I'll be damned if I even noticed a difference frankly.

I went from a 3570K @ 4.6 to the 1700. All I am is perfectly happy so I expect you can expect happiness. I run a VM 24/7, and render a lot of video for YouTube so having all the threads is good. I honestly don't know how I got by on just 4 before lol. I haven't even felt the urge to OC yet, apart from a one off to 3.8GHz "just to test", and apart from pushing my RAM to 2666, since its so fast and stable as is.

I reckon you'll be happy

 

[Mussels]

my only advice is throw a fan on your VRM's if you're pushing 1.3v+ through the CPU, on both MSI boards i've tested got pretty toasty without active cooling

 

[TheMailMan78]

This rig is for gaming. From what y'all are saying it sounds like it won't make much of a difference. Any future game like star citizen gonna use this thing proper?

I've played and seen the following (same GPU as with 3570K):

BF1: same or better perf
BF4: same or better perf
Dawn of War 3: quite noticeably better
CS:GO: No noticeable decline in perf... but I don't look for 999FPS in this, I reckon its always over 120FPS
Starcraft 2: Same / no noticeable difference
Homeworld Remastered: Same / no noticeable difference

The outlier that I didn't own when I had my 3570K is PUBG... It runs, its more limited by my 970 than anything else I reckon.

Hope that helps a little...

the extra cores wont make a huge difference for current gaming - future gaming it probably will

I will always pick Samsung over Hynix regardless of the system. If you can afford them get them. On Ryzen it just takes the headaches out and they're much easier to work with. Aim for a final speed of 3200-3400 at CL14 with stock or close to stock voltage. Soc shouldn't need to be over 1.1V

The guy from Science Studios have same mobo as me (AX370 Gaming K7), in his 1700X OC'ing vid he pairs it with the HyperX Predator modules & it works fine throughout the entire vid; yeah, i know it's a lottery, but it's just the way these modules look you know - yeah, it looks like the menace inside any rig. Maybe i'll buy 3200-3600 CL14/CL16 Trident Z, Vengeance LED Reds & Predator for comparison's sake. Will take me some time tho.

P.S. Gigabyte's AM4 quick OC'ing tutorial says you can safely crank up the SoC voltage to 1.35v, vCore to 1.4/1.5v, VDD18 (whatever that is, will have to do research ) - 2.1v & VDDP (research again) to +0.2v.

at those numbers, you better have everything under water. and i do mean everything - those are high voltages.

 

[YautjaLord]

Even RAM? You just need to adjust CPU voltages: SoC, vCore & VDD18 are all CPU-related, correct me if i'm wrong. I think i will need that EKWB's GB Aorus AM4 monoblock (CPU + VRM) later down the road, tho.

Plus, all these RAM modules i'll buy at some point next year, i'll leave the task of "OC'ing" to K7's XMP option & forget. lol Thanx regardless, cheers.

yep bucket of water on the RAM too

lol wtf? The "I wanna see him sleep with fishes, not to eat 'em" GTA III-style? Not sarcastic. Actually you know what? That reminds me something i seen in Google images some time ago:

Sorry for OT, but you asked for it, Mussels. lol jk

P.S. One thing is given tho: it'll take quite a large amount of moneyz cash & time to build something like that for me.

 

[grunt_408]

Count me in

 

[Johan45]

Looks good, nice and tidy

 

[TheMailMan78]

Guess count me in also......
