Nice single thread score, 4ghz is out of my reach on the stock wraith cooler, am sure I was able to boot at 4ghz with 1.4+ vcore but the temps are just to high on this cooler to allow me to run it at that speed 24/7, consequently I am running 3.9ghz now at a very conservative 1.325v which is fine by me

 

[trickson]

OMG This CPU is just a beast! For $130.00 Dollars it is an absolute fantastic CPU! Just a beast! Can't wait to get it to 4Ghz!

 

[Deleted member 67555]

In all honesty my everyday OC is limited to 3.9ghz @ 1.375v...I was just seeing how far I could get it up to...It can do 3.9ghz all day @ 1.375v but at 3.925ghz it needs 1.425v...
I ran a few benches...no difference from 3.9ghz...I still like seeing 4ghz tho.

I hear what you're saying, I have been desperate to hit 4ghz as well just to round it up lol and yea, theres little difference performance wise, I'm hoping the Ryzen+ refresh are able to hit 4-4.2 as easy as most do 3.8ghz now. Out of interestwhat bios version are you running and has there been a new revision to support the incoming raven ridge APU's? as the last update I had enabled me to use XMP for the first time without having to change timings/voltages etc and also seems to be more stable with the CPU at 3.9

4c/8t for $130 is fantastic, remember before Ryzen you would have to pay $250+ from intel for the same... You should be able to get there on the stock cooling for a short period, do you know what kind of volts it needs tohit 4ghz?

@Super XP: Socket TR4 motherboard makers (especially Gigabyte) went overboard with all this RGB stuff, but yeah i get what you saying - quad channel DDR4 RAM, 64 PCIe lanes, NVMe M.2 RAID, it's just this thing will chew through my salary so fast, you'll have to donate a spare kidney just to afford mobo for rig like that or some such shit. Good luck with your purchase, test da f*ck out of it if you can/want. Cheers.

I can reach 4GHz @ 1,45v on my 1200, but I don't like the temps with the stock Wraith Stealth.
I did some profiles with Ryzen Master:
3800 @ 1,25v
3850 @ 1,35v
3900 @ 1,40v
4000 @ 1,45v

All four stable, but considering the efficiency of that 3800 @ 1,25v, I use that when needed (rpcs3 and cemu mostly), the rest of the time I run it at stock 3100/3450.

That's a damn decent OC for 1.25v @3800mhz. Are you running 24/7?

Did use it 24/7 to test it, it's stable, with a 1.0 SoC voltage. Now I only use it if I need more CPU powa, mostly thanks to AMD terrible OpenGL drivers, they take a whole core to 100% and caps the FPS on Breath of the Wild.

Ryzen Master is excellent for that, it keeps Cool and Quiet on.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Breath of the Wild.

CEMU?

 

[GoldenX]

CEMU?

Yep, the 1200 is perfect for it now that they added up to 5 threads, but the AMD Windows drivers are trash for OpenGL. I'm going to try on Linux where they have threading.

 

[YautjaLord]

That Corsair M.2 SSD should make a huge speed difference. I wanted Thtradripper just don't like power draw. I'll stick to Ryzen for now. And see if a Thtradripper 2 does better with power.

Eventually I want 64-128 GB DDR4, and up to 32 CPU threads. Lol

If i'll go for M.2 SSD it have to be this one:

Already got 850 pro SATA III 256GB, this one ^ will have both Win 10 & Linux, mobo (GA-AX370 Gaming K7) supports it out of box according to pdf manual on their site. The only problem, it will still be "buried" (partially) under my GTX 1070 G1, but as long as it won't be fried i'm all good.

that's why i had to move away from gigabyte.....

 

[kenkickr]

Here I am right now with a general bump to 3.9GHZ w/ 1.35 volts. Running WCG and Folding without issues hitting 69-70 Celcius max.

 

[YautjaLord]

Finally got it to 4Ghz....But that voltage...

I can't have it stable in Cinebench R15 with 1.45v vCore/1.15v SoC, what cooling you got? Mine is EKWB's X360 custom water loop.

@theonek: I still haven't seen the temps on this one, BUT - a) i have lil bro of Aorus GTX 1070 behemoth, 1070 G1, occupies "just" 2 PCIe slots stead of 3, b) the case is open 24/7, i.e. no side panel.
I'll post the temps on this SSD here once i got it. Cheers.

 

[Super XP]

3800 @ 1,25v

That's a nice voltage got that speed.

NZXT Kracken x41... Fan and pump set on custom with a 45mm fan on the VRMs...
I'm sure I could get this up a bit more on a good board... Board has crap VRMs.

 

[Super XP]

The VRMs can make or break a nice OC. I've been running my FX8350 with a all core OC on my Asus ROG Mobo for years. So far no issues. A testament what a solid motherboard can achieve.

 

[trickson]

WOW seems to me my 10 year old CPU is still able to hold it's own. It is still a viable beast of a CPU!

Crosshair V Formula, the one mobo i still love how it both looks & just how reliable it was in my rig, Prime95 for 3+ hours, Blend test @ 4.5GHz, teaches you how shit should be done right from A to Z. Crosshair VI Hero - as much as i love how this mobo reviews picture it, this thing looks f*ckin hideous, i still see it's colors as something sealife regurgitated n left it unattended for unspecified amount of time. Just my 2 cents/pennies/etc....

I was close to getting the Crosshair VI Hero and said Umm NO. This round by ASUS I wasn't fully impressed. To me anyway, the AM4 mobo's seemed rushed kind of. I will give the ASRock Fatal1ty a try. I assume it has equivalent ROG style quality. I owned a ASRock long long ago and was very happy back in the day when PC Gaming was 2-D if anything lol. ASUS's ROG eventually won me over with that Crosshair V Formula.

The Core 2 Quad's were a game changer for Intel. That was a great CPU line. They sure game AMD a run, which is a good thing. Love fair competition, in the end we the consumer(s) benefit.

This is my current PC Gamer. Soon to be replaced with my Ryzen 1700X. Though I have to admit, the beloved FX-8350 did well for many years, despite all the criticism. Even though AMD messed up that lineup, they are finally (Thank Goodness ) back with solid Overall performance & PC Gaming.

I wanted to buy that Fatal1ty mobo too, b4 finally setting my sights @ & getting AX370 Gaming K7, you know what? I'm glad i did: despite the cam's flash, there's Slayer's "Raining Blood" concert running inside the rig.

I had a bad experience with Gigabyte in the past with a Phenom II supporting mobo. And I never looked back at Gigabyte ever again. But that AX370 Gaming K7 does look very nice. Never really considered it B4. Hmmm, perhaps I will one day give Gigabyte a try.

I'd use this mobo when i'll get both 2nd gen Ryzen & EKWB's AM4 monoblock, tell ya this mofo not only has Aorus LED RGB logo (will set it @ static red), but also being monoblock this thing covers both socket & VRMs, it's f*ckin humongous! They (EKWB) also have Crosshair VI Hero & X370 XPower variants of this monoblock. Coolant will also be blood red, God i love Raining Blood, ain't i? jk Cheers.

So a bad experience any you ditch them?
Gigabyte is GREAT! Love there products. I have had tons of "Bad" experiences with Thermaltake But I still buy there stuff.
I learned over the years it's not always the product that is faulty but the user that messed up. I learned and since the learning curve have broken less stuff and have had more success NOW than ever before.

With me, I don't look at it that way. lol
I bought a Gigabyte mobo and it was a DOA. I suppose this happens. So I got a replacement shipped. That one had major bios issues. Long story short, ain't going through that again. With me, screw up the 2nd time and that's it. lol

I almost written off ASUS too. This one was due to a nonsense Motherboard Bios issue, but different then the Gigabyte one. But ASUS promptly rectified the issue and it got resolved. Another indecent? Nvidia, I've written them off too. lol Companies that have been amazing so far and I continue to buy & support?

Corsair
AMD
Sapphire
G-Skill
ASRock
CoolerMaster
LG
etc., I might take another look at Gigabyte OK, I mean it's been what? 7-10 years now?
