    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Waterblock Comparison #1

    Here's a pic of the Bykski V2 installed. Just an FYI, the washers for the mounting bolts that came with were Red. For my build, this obviously worked out perfectly, but since I ordered a Black block, I was expecting to get Black washers. Just a word of caution for someone who doesn't have red...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Waterblock Comparison #1

    Just ordered a Threadripper Bykski water block from AliExpress, got something called, "A-Ryzen-ThV2-X". Looks like its a more universal version of the TR block, the description says: Bykski A-Ryzen-Th-X CPU Water Block For AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 940/AM2/AM3/AM4/X399 1950X The block has...

    Threadripper Pays for Itself Using Cryptocurrency Mining @ [H]

    I guess it was more of an interview than a press release: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/02/01/can-amds-threadripper-deliver-more-mining-profit-than-a-gtx-1080/#116d3d265add One key to getting good performance is fitting the work into L3 cache, so it doesn’t have to fetch it...

    Threadripper Pays for Itself Using Cryptocurrency Mining @ [H]

    I've been wanting to build a TR system since they came out, but just couldn't justify the cost when my Ryzen 7 does everything I throw at it. But this little press release from AMD gave me the excuse I needed to go ahead and build a TR system. Combine great pricing on the 1950x and MBs at...

    DDR4 max speed with Threadripper / Ryzen

    I recently put together a Threadripper system and must have won the silicon lottery. My 1950x runs at 3.95 Ghz on stock voltage. It crashes after several hours of stress testing at 4.0 w/stock voltage. I have the RAM at 3600 Mhz (quad channel) with G.Skill TridentZ 3733 sticks. This is on...

    BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

    Finally got around to installing this over the weekend. After a long wait, I am finally running my 3200 Mhz RAM at 3200!! (prev was stuck at 2666) Couple odd things I noticed, ran multiple benchmarks at 3.9/3200 and saw decreases in performance from 3.9/2666. Memory bandwidth increased but...

    BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

    I installed this today and got 2666 working in my G.Skill Ripjaw 3200 V series. Nothing higher would post. I was previously stuck at 2400.

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Retail CPU Overclocking X 2 @ [H]

    Yes, that is exactly where mine settled in with the stock cooler and stock voltage. To go higher I had to bump the voltage to 1.2.

    Anyone running Memory > 2400 on B350M?

    I have an ASUS B350M-A and cannot get it to post with memory running any higher than 2400. My memory is 3200 G.Skill Ripjaw V-series which is not in the QVL from ASUS, so I am wondering if anyone running QVL RAM is getting higher speeds to post. I am not in-love with this board and am thinking...

    Ryzen 5 1600 "Review" leaks early

    Really? Wow, I read the opposite back in Jan. So much speculation written about this platform... thanks

    Ryzen 5 1600 "Review" leaks early

    i read the 6-cores are actually 8-core processors with 2 cores disabled, so i wouldn't expect them to so much beyond the 7s. Curious to see how high the 4 cores go.

    BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

    I updated today, noticed a few new options but still can't get anything faster than 2400 to post. one of the noted items in the update was memory compatibility, sigh... Also found an option to disable smt, so I am playing with that a bit. Seems to lower power consumption a bit, might be able to...

    Adventures in Ryzen 1700X Overclocking

    Yeah, I started at like 1.38 then kept dropping it. I'm definitely happy with those settings.

    Adventures in Ryzen 1700X Overclocking

    No, I have this crappy ASUS B350M-A (because I needed a microATX board). I have tried lots of settings but cannot get anything higher than 2400 to post. Frustrated....

    BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

    Installed this last night and didn't notice any differences. Still can't clock my memory past 2400, getting kinda frustrated with this board and ASUS.

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Retail CPU Overclocking X 2 @ [H]

    Here are my overclocking results (sorry for the large post). I used Ryzen Master for OC settings and HWInfo for monitoring. Primary purpose of my machine for Video Encoding, so my standard stress test is re-encoding a Blu-Ray rip with Handbrake, CQ16, Medium Optimization. This test pegs all...

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Retail CPU Overclocking X 2 @ [H]

    I bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer 120 for $74 and it is working great. They shipped me my AM4 retention ring last week and I received it a couple days later. Keeps my CPU 20+ C cooler than the stock cooler and let me push past 3.7 GHz to 4.0. I'll post my OC results shortly so you can see the...

    AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU vs 1700X CPU Review @ [H]

    Odd, I didn't notice that memory speed setting before, but as soon as I jumped into the BIOS, there it was. But, I still can't get anything faster than 2400 to boot. I tried adjusting the timing and voltages, but nothing higher would boot...

    AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU vs 1700X CPU Review @ [H]

    Thank you, I did read those but already tried those suggestions. The BIOS for the B350M-A seems pretty immature at this point, the only DOCP settings available are 3200Mhz, which of course won't post. I only got to 2400 with Ryzen Master. With the Ryzen 5's being released soon I think there...

    AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU vs 1700X CPU Review @ [H]

    I have been running a lot of tests with the stock cooler while I wait for my Arctic Cooler AM4 ring... The best I can get from my 1700 is 3.7 at 1.2v with RAM at 2400. This maxes out at 72 C running my Handbrake torture test for about 90 mins. I have been able to clock up to [email protected] and...
