Ryzen Owners Thread

CPU and GPU brackets both fit perfectly. I will upload the updated drawing and STL file later tonight.

Going to install it now.

Are the two bolt holes on the same side all that the companies use as well? o_0 I can't imagine how it would stay seated on the GPU core with holes only on one side like that...
 
Any other game or just bf4?
Doom is fine. As is all sound inside Windows 10 itself.

Seen this issue at Anandtech with BF1.
Many thanks for the link. Since everything else works here but BF4 (and apparently BF1 in some cases) I'm tempted to lay the blame on EA. ;)

According to that its an issue with software (Ryzen master or Asus ai3) oc and not when oc'd in bios, so maybe try oc in bios and not with utilities.
Tis on the list of things to try next. Feeling under the weather atm so will have to resume working this problem in a few days.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who is seeing the problem.
 
Took me quite a while to find all the screws and make minor adjustments such as forcing a 2.7mm diameter screw into a 2.2mm diameter hole for the GPU bracket, and using an angle grinder to cut the GPU baseplate to make it not block the AIO pump head.

Right now 1700 max out at 39C while running 3.7Ghz 1.2V in game. RX 480 at 1300Mhz 1.2V reaches 36C in game. Only have time to play KF1.

I'll upload the drawings tomorrow. Need to get some sleep.

The big holes are for fans. 70mm fan works. 80mm holes are placed too aggressively, and overlaps with the AIO pump head.
 
Man, I'm getting really depressed with this CPU. Games that ran fine with the FX8350 run like shit. Fallout 4 I'm getting 7-11fps in combat. World of Warships used to be pegged at its max 72fps, now I struggle to hit 50. The desktop is always laggy, web browsers are VERY laggy, just overall disappointing. Trying to hold out for some kind of updates but I'm not even getting core2duo performance in most things.

Did you do a full reinstall on Windows 10?

I've reinstalled 6 times now, both 7 and 10. I've done everything you're going to think of and list 3-4 times. The performance is just plain bad as far as I can tell. I was willing to settle for even Sandy Bridge IPC and performance but I can barely play the games I like at all.

There is something wrong is all I'm saying.

Not sure what but that's but what others are experiencing...

Then you have a real hardware problem with your system, it is not because it is Ryzen cpu. My 1700 and 1700X both blow away the FX systems I had before and those were no slouch. None of my system is laggy in any way, shape form or manner and this Windows 10 install has gone through 3 hardware changes and is on build 15063 as I type this. Hence, you have a real hardware issue.

That's not normal. Performance should blow away an FX8350. At least for me I'm getting as good (or better) than the i7-4790K I have in another machine. Certainly the desktop should not lag, mine is very smooth. Something must be wrong.

Have you looked at your temps? Maybe your cooler or fan isn't working or the TIM was applied wrong. I also had some odd performance issues briefly with slow-down like you said but I did DDU driver uninstall, reinstall latest graphics drivers, flashed BIOS to latest, set high performance profile in Windows, and disabled ULPS in MSI Afterburner (for AMD GPUs). I'm not sure what I did that fixed it, but everything has been fine now for about 2 weeks.

I've done literally everything. Everything. The only thing I can't do is disable HPET because the board doesn't have the option. I wasted another $200 to get an X370 board now and if that doesn't help I'm throwing in the towel on this thing. So sick of dicking around with this machine instead of being able to just use it.
 
If none of that works, including a new motherboard, I may be possible it's a bad chip. You may want to check in Ryzen Master and see if you are getting correct clocks (it may be throttling) or see if you can somehow prove there is a defect. You can always RMA in that case.

I am sure you have done everything but it sounds A LOT like core parking. That was how my 8350 operated with it, everything just seemed laggy especially games. Maybe some monitor logs while your gaming might help other diagnose your issue, not sure if I can without having a Ryzen to test with.

No core parking, I have it disabled. Most apps seem to be hammering core 0 to 99% and not using anything else.

Np, hope you can get it figured out.

I know you've reinstalled WINDOWS but have you also reinstalled the games?

Some games will configure themselves to match a system and if they aren't reinstalled they don't reconfig. Sometimes you can edit their configs to manually make these adjustments, but with FO4 there's really nothing I can think of off hand that would let you (as I've played around with the config a LOT, and the only Core/Thread related stuff isn't adjusted by the install, it's just all set to 7 Core, due to Consoles only having access to 7). Games from Codemasters though, like GRID, F1, and I believe DiRT2/3/etc all have been heavily threaded, but also easily able to be configured for more threads (if you're savvy enough of an INI modder). But yea, it could be that as the cause as well.

I mean that's the only reason I can think of you having issues, as we've ruled out the OS. Short of that, and as you are already aware, it leaves hardware to blame.

Perhaps it's the mobo, but you'll know that soon enough.
Perhaps it's the memory, being that is I presume the only system you can use it in to even test?

It COULD be thermal issues as well, causing throttling. VRM or CPU, have to monitor both
Similarly, it could be the VRMs not operating properly (switching too slow maybe).

Everything is re-installed fresh. I've downloaded like 800GB this month. Temps are OK, max out around 75C now (-20) in games, don't know the VRM temp as this board doesn't report it. I'm finding only one core is getting used, even on desktop. I'll wait for any conclusions until I get the new board.

ya dude sounds like you might have a hardware issue, it could be a bad motherboard or faulty CPU, this might be a dumb question but have you run memtester86, could show issues with memory or is you have a faulty IMC or other issues but only between the CPU and mem... also have you updated you UEFI?
 
I got a binned 1700 from Silicon Lottery after reading about them on reddit.

ASRock X370 Taichi and...RAM that was bad out of the box--blue screens, blue screens everywhere.

So I haven't even gotten to properly use my Ryzen build yet...

Could always give it the old Seat of the Pants check. Get things fully loaded and then touch the VRM heatsink/s. :p



TheLAWNoob How long on the 6-32 screws, do you suggest?

Also I dunno if "Universal GPU" is accurate, is it?. Or have both AMD and nV came to some standard for GPU mounting hole distances over the last few generations? There were all sorts of variation once upon a time, I believe even in a same-generation of Radeon, like the 5770's being different than a 5870's... I hated the cooler on my 5770s that ASUS used and wanted to change, but on top of the cooler yuck-ness, they placed the GPU in a non-reference spot which really nixed my choices. However some 5870s were that way and... I couldn't use coolers for them due to mounting holes being different! lol

Sorry don't know if you mentioned specifically, but is the win 7/10 you keep reinstalling the exact same copy or new each time? Reason is that with win10 it took 3 attempts at a usb bootable to get a stable win10 install. The issues were slight but one was that my CPU voltage wouldn't drop when the CPU clock did. Thought it was just some reporting glitch but after a NEW win10 install it worked like it should.

Anyway just a thought.

I have noticed the Auto V core even on my 1700 running at 3.2GHz on all cores stock was at 1.35-1.4 V-core reported by the MOBD utilities and CPU-z, I was able to overclock the CPU to 100% stable 3.7GHz all cores @ 1.225 vcore, even my 3.825GHz clock im rocking right now was below that voltage beside the SOC voltage of course, it's just a little troubling the V core is reported being as high as 1.4 at stock settings, hopefully that will go away with updates as the 1700 should not need any vcore that high for a 3.0GHz stock amd 3.7GHz boost,

By universal I meant AMD only, sorry for the confusion.

The 6-32 I used was radiator screws, so 1 inch is long enough. 7/8inch should fit perfectly. 1inch is a little long but still works. Make sure you use calipers to measure all 4 corners to see if they are screwed in evenly.

I don't know what you mean, I have USB ISO's of the most up to date version that I use for Windows 10, for 7 I use a DVD burned with the latest which is a few years old. DVD works better for UEFI install of 7.

The ISO using the usb tool. It was one hell of a job getting one that was stable months ago. The one I downloaded on my PC before the reinstall was bad, then since I couldn't download another. Tried from my wife's PC and it just wouldn't create the USB, odd I know. Finally the one I downloaded from my livingroom PC was good enough to install, but eventually that was a bad install. The one I just installed a few weeks ago seem to be working fine. Cant say I ever had install issues with 7 but wont say it isn't possible.

I just came across this, which was published a week ago, but damn me for slacking on keeping up with the water cooler issues... heh
http://www.gamersnexus.net/industry/2852-what-caused-am4-retention-kit-delay-for-liquid-coolers
Anyways, it's quite interesting, as it's a retention pressure issue that was had by the change in AM4's mounting location, which meant a large re-design by Asetek to their AM4 adapter design. Unfortunately blame is squarely on AMD :\ They appear to have just been way too tight-lipped over Ryzen and didn't want to let even the slightest info slip...

I guess this means that the late 2016 "AM4" Carrizo motherboards that the ODM (I think that's what they're called... either way: HP, Dell, etc) used was not specced with the same info as these AM4 sockets... Which frankly, is weird, since word HAD been that those motherboard would be Ryzen-capable. If that's the case, the retention pressure would need to be the same, and all these measurements would have been available >4mos ago, had Asetek (and any others using 4-post retention) thought enough outside the box to spend ~$450 on a Dell Dimension with a Carrizo AM4 APU so they had an "Official Motherboard"... lol

On that note... you think that the thickness will indeed be enough and that the width of the ring-portion shouldn't have been increased as well to decrease flexibility even further?

The good thing is that these might start shipping in ~2weeks. The bad thing is they have so many customers having already ordered one. (Corsair at least lets you place an order, unlike Tt. Additionally, they are free with the code mentioned in the linkk. ONTOP OF THAT, they are even cheaper if it wasn't free lol)
The other good thing is these new adapters will be AM2-4/FM1 & 2 compatible... So if I WAS that concerned about the ring flexing, I could always take my current AM3 ring, lop the mounting arms and 'teeth' off, and epoxy it over your printed model LOL But, for ~1mo of use I suspect the 3D Printed version will still do just fine. :p

I have a bunch of standoffs from various other heatsinks, as well as thumb nuts to go over them. I hope maybe I can use them instead, as that would ensure even pressure.

Alternatively, this may work as a better solution... (excuse my M$ Painting artistry, I lack CAD lol)

You are over-thinking it. My bracket is only slightly more flexible than the steel AM3 brackets. Besides, AM4 is more square than AM3, which means the forces are spread out slightly more evenly.

Just don't screw it in way too tight and you'd be fine. If you have calipers, screw it in until the bracket flexes by around 1 to 2mm.

Roger-roger. Will do :)

------------------------------

Ok so as a bit of an update on the "Modded BIOS " front... A user on the XS forums chimed into the discussion over there and has said he has modded his own MSI B350 Tomahawk with the same program I have, and it flashed fine. :) Some things do work, some things do nothing.
So it appears...
MSI modded BIOS Flashing = (y)
ASUS modded BIOS Flashing = Maybe... (same guy as w/ MSI, reported no luck on his AM3 Crosshair V, but Chew* has yet to go about trying with his B350.)
Gigabyte modded BIOS flashing = ???
ASRock modded BIOS flashing = ???
Biostar modded BIOS flashing = ???


IF YOU FLASH ONE OR DECIDE TO MOD YOUR OWN... Assuming you aren't aware of the risks already, lets just be clear: First and foremost, there's the very real chance of bricking your motherboard! There may not be any benefit currently, on all or any models, unless there are certain things we're able to unlock. Currently that's mainly going to be PStates I feel, but Cool'n'Quiet toggle may also help and some boards (mine, at least with v1.10 BIOS) it's a hidden option.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE... Know your motherboard's "Emergency Flash Recovery Method", if it has one. For example, MSI's on the Titanium, is to name the file "MSI.ROM" and place it on a blank USB flash drive formatted as FAT32, placing it in the special USB port on the back, and pressing the FASHB1 button in the Lower Right Corner ON the motherboard, then waiting a good few minutes. Either when any lights stop blinking/flashing, after the computer stops rebooting, or until you have video output and have entered the BIOS. (Your board's manual should outline all of this, no matter what model you have). AND MOST IMPORTANTLY if you do this, set your BIOS to Defaults FIRST, as you never NEVER want to flash your BIOS while the system is overclocked in any way; period. That goes for motherboards, video cards, hard drives, optical drives, printers/scanners, cellphones, routers, WiFi/LAN cards, etc (all but mobos and vid cards have firmwares instead of a BIOS). Also it might not hurt to flash the UN-modded version of the BIOS first, and also have the modded file retain the same filename (just keep them in different folders that indicate which is which).

That being said. It's all very much a "do at your own risk" endeavor, just like overclocking!

There. I have done my civic duty by both providing us enthusiasts with the knowledge, AND obligatory "idiot warning" :pompous:

If you're at 75C when you subtract the 20 degree offset you're too hot. I'm running 4ghz with 1.468v and hit only 68C (Minus offset) under stress testing. At 75C Ryzen starts to throttle. You have a hardware issue somewhere.
 
Why couldn't the memory speed issue been worked out prior to the ryzen launch?


The launch would have had to bee delayed until May. Wall Street investors would have been pissed off. Many AMD enthusiasts would also have been pissed off. I do think a delay until early April would have made the launch a lot smoother though. Here are some benchmarks I just took running an 1800X at 3.85GH with 16GB ddr 4 running at 3200 cas 14,14,14.and Radeon Fury Graphics card. The memory upgrade from Corsair Dominator Platinum to G. Skill Flare X, Ryzen certified memory (Samsung B-die chips) made all the difference in the world.

I'm glad it wasn't delayed. I was able to put a system together. It works fine IMO. Yes there are some issues left to work out. Nothing I would call a showstopper however.
 
I am also glad it wasn't delayed. My build has been rock steady so far. It's hard to put into words how smooth everything is. I am coming from a 2500k running @ 4.5GHz and now I have a Ryzen 1700 at stock with an MSI X370 Pro Carbon.

Very happy with my purchase and would have no problem recommending a Ryzen setup to anyone.
 
Loving my 1800X system! So fast at anything I throw at it! I built it to edit 4K video as my last rig was a dog for 4K editing (very fast at 1080P editing which was what it started as).

1800X
Gigabyte GA-AX370 Gaming K7 MB
Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 cooler
Viper 4 Series 16 GB RAM at 3200MHz
6 TB NAS HDD 7200RPM, 4 TB 7200 RPM regular HDD

My new $250 eBay R7 1700 (same China stepping as Kyle initially reviewed) arrived today and my CH6 arrives tomorrow...so a new computer build is coming this weekend. This will be my first AMD since back before my Intel e5200...think it was maybe an Athlon 3200+, and a Barton 2500 before that.

Time to eBay my current 2600k and AsRock Z77 Extreme 4. Kind of sad to see the AsRock go, as it's been my longest lived computer ever because I saw no reason to upgrade until now. Waiting for Vega next.
 
Welp, since Tt has still yet to offer theirs... I placed an order at Corsair instead, given they're undoubtedly the exact same. So now the real question becomes...

Will I get the official AM4 bracket before the one TheLAWNoob 3D Printed and mailed off? lol Fitting... given that was the question he had, and my vote then was he'd be able to print one before he got his from Corsair! :p

Though it looks like there are roughly 10,000 others infront of me waiting to receive theirs a well, based on Order Numbers. heh
 
Here's a couple of pics of my new 1700 rig. Been rock stable at [email protected].
I'd LOVE to get one of those cases...

I HATE that they user PCIe risers and the case is designed only to use them; thus, you cannot mount stuff in the traditional ATX way. :bigtears:

Or... did I miss something and you can configure it to mount them in the traditional manner?
Cuz if so, I'm heading to NewEgg ASAP...

Looks good though. heh
