Have you been looking to set up a sweet new Ryzen system, only to be foiled by not being able to find a motherboard? Well, you are not alone. Legit Reviews has been looking into just why we have seen such a shortage of compatible AM4 boards. Of course, it depends on who you ask. AMD...

Well, not so fast. Guru3D has a story to this effect running today, and while it does look like Microsoft's statements suggest that they are looking to patch things for Ryzen, I have never seen anyone put so many weasel words into a single tweet before. That's impressive considering the 140...

So I've been trying to research if I can do this. I don't think I am understanding how PCIe lanes work with CPU/Chipset I don't intend to go SLI, but in my current setup I have a 750ti as a PhysX GPU (yes, I know, it's *mostly* useless but hey, it helped a lot in Arkham series) and a 1070 as...

OK, maybe "Rowdy" Ryan Shrout did not say "shiznit" in his "Overclocking the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - The Real Winner?" review, but I know he thought it. What is very fishy though is that PCPer came up with same exact conclusions that HardOCP did, mere hours after we published our 1700 vs 1700X...

So I have a box of bitspower fittings, extra D5 pumps, and 2-3 fan rads that were semi-retired (or put away for the time being) after my last build... I've moved over to an easy to manage AIO H100i and lightly OC'ing the 2600K and am running my 980ti on the stock cooler... suits my needs atm...

AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU vs 1700X CPU Review - So there has been a lot of talk about what Ryzen CPU do you buy? The way I think is that you want to buy the least expensive one that will give you the best performance. That is exactly what we expect to find out here today. Is the Ryzen 1700 for $330...

I've been reading online to decide on an AM4 motherboard, but advice out there is laughably contradictory. If you don't OC and all you need is to connect your CPU, a mid-range GPU (RX 480 in my case) and a couple sticks of DDR4 (just bought 8GB or Patriot Viper Elite 3200mhz sticks on...

Hi guys, Long time lurker, fist time poster. Love the quality of the articles and reviews here! I'm torn since the release of AMD new ryzen processors. I'm a battelfield series player and recently, i feel that my cpu is holding me back when playing (100% utilisation while playing). I play at...

Hi guys, got the 1700x on a gigabyte ab350m matx board with hyperx 2x16 gb 2400mhz ram and getting some problems. First symptom came with win10 installation was super slow but eventually finished. Then would get intermittent non boots, maybe 1 out of 10 reboots would get stuck at the mobo splash...

Here's one for those of you who hang out in our Virtualized Computing subforum. With all of those cores for not very much money, many of us have been secretly thinking about whether or not Ryzen would make for a good ESXi server. The answer right now is, probably not. At least not in 6.5...

There was a previous Delid video. The one that fooled some of us (me) into thinking it was a dual die chip. This is the followup, where he scrapes off the solder and cleans up the die (makes it very clear that it is a single die), applies liquid metal thermal paste, and does a direct die test...

The first of a couple of AMD Ryzen 1700 (non-X model) CPUs that we are going to test. This one is going down on a ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero AM4 motherboard. Overclocking results coming soon.

"Nuclear" Nathan Kirsch has a handle on what a lot of us are wondering. Is the AMD Ryzen model 1700 (No X) processor up to the chops of the 1700X and 1800X when it comes to overclocking? Does it clock as high as 4GHz or better? And if it does, how do the benchmark metrics stand up to its more...

As we reported on on Monday Ryzen will really need a newer kernel than most current Linux distributions ship with in order to work properly. If you are of the alternate OS persuasion, and are an early Ryzen adopter, Servethehome has you covered regarding how to update your kernel in Ubuntu, and...

Now that I am back in town and the Ryzen embargo has expired, we can talk a bit more openly about the different Ryzen models; the 1700X and 1800X. I was told by sources inside AMD to not expect to find any discernible differences between the 1700X and 1800X processors if you were going to...

Saw this on Twitter and thought of all of you with water blocks.

I know with the upcoming Ryzen launch, a lot of you have been pre-ordering your CPU's. Here's a little bit of a heads up for those of you who like your alternative flavors of operating systems. One of the weak spots with Linux has always been its support for brand new hardware, and Ryzen...

With the review embargo of AMD's new Ryzen CPU supposedly lifting in the next few days, rumors, leaks and official marketing is suggesting it is going to be a huge leap forward for AMD, potentially even outperforming Intel's offerings. Many of us PC enthusiasts and consumers have been overjoyed...

Well, a little birdie has whispered in our ears, not much. This reportedly showed up on Intel's intranet this past week: Could we be seeing a repeat of the K7/Netburst era with Intel having to play catch-up for a change? Maybe abandoning their tick-tock strategy and keeping 8th generation Core...

Intel Allegedly Playing Dirty To Undercut AMD’s Ryzen The editors-in-chief of two of America’s top PC hardware and technology publications have confirmed to Wccftech that they have indeed been approached by Intel regarding upcoming Ryzen reviews. Although both said that it was business as...

Please stay on topic, I don't want to read discussion on why I don't go air cooling, or how I should go custom liquid, or X AIO is better than my H110i (I got it for a REALLY good price). Just please respond to my question. Ok, so I got myself a new Corsair H110i in anticipation for Ryzen. I...

Over the last few days, so much news about Ryzen 1800X beating Intel i7-6900K in non DC testing, mostly gaming. Power dissipation and cost look great. If anyone is planning to get one, would appreciate sharing the test result. Would be interesting to see how it performs in PrimeGrid-LLR, WCG...

http://mirror.ninja/5vixv8 Has anyone seen this? What do you guys think?

Air cooling AMD's Ryzen? Screw that! Well OK, we are going to do that too, but we figured we would start with the fun stuff since most others would start with what AMD handed them. I spent some quality time here this week with the drill press. Thankfully the Thermalright True Spirit 140...

BioStar is ahead of the pack when it comes to talking Ryzen AM4 motherboards, so I am unsure whether or not these pages will remain live for long. BioStar has three of its X370 chipset motherboards listed on its site; X370GT7 Ver. 5.x, X370GT5 Ver. 5.x, X370GT3 Ver. 6.x. It also has two of...

Ryzen motherboard images are all over the web now. Here is a couple from Hardware Battle that shows a Ryzen motherboard and CPU about to undergo some LN2 treatments. The admins there have shutdown the thread already. It's all rumor mill spy pictures which is always fun to check out. WCCFTECH...

Are you suffering from Ryzen information overload yet? No? Me neither. Albeit there is a lot of misinformation out there, and we try our best to shy away from most of that. WCCFTech have a page full of Ryzen Architectural information that is likely too detailed to be all hooey. Just think...

David Kanter is known to be quite a smart felling when it comes to CPU architectures and he has shown that repeatedly. PCPer has an hour long interview with him that covers all the bases he put forward in this article for The Linley Group. This is worth your time if you are a CPU junkie...

AMD's second fastest processor 1700X is showing some really impressive performance in Passmark benchmark. It's single thread performance which is crucial, was faster than both Intel's 5960x & 6800k and was only 3% slower than the 6900k. Again keep in mind this is the 1700x, not the 1800x which...

Recently at the ISCC, International Solid-State Circuits Conference, it was revealed that the upcoming AMD Zen cores are more compact than Intel's current 14nm x86 core technology. Intel engineers and analysts agreed that the Zen core is clearly competitive, but there are other variables to...

The folks over at Canard PC have certainly been getting lots of attention lately. Now they have some fresh rumors about a pair of new Intel Kaby Lake CPU's. (Link to article translated from French using Google Translate.) They report that we will likely soon be seeing a Core i7-7740K at 4.3Ghz...

For the last couple of days we have seen rumors and postings talking about AMD's new Ryzen having driver support for Windows 7, but nothing with a solid source. This, of course, contradicts what we had previously heard about Ryzen only supporting Windows 10, so we reached out to AMD to see if...

During the fourth quarter earnings call today, AMD CEO Lisa Su confirmed that the consumer Ryzen CPU lineup will be launching in early March. The server based lineup is code named Naples and will launch in the second quarter of 2017. The AMD Zen based APU code named Raven Ridge is scheduled...

Notorious Nathan Kirsch gives us a synopsis of what Legit Reviews pulled together at CES2017.

This was reported late last week, but deserves to be mentioned yet again as some of us may have missed it this weekend. All new Ryzen processors are going to be open to overclocking with unlocked clock multipliers.

I've just read on Overclockers.co.uk's forums that they have an overclocked Ryzen system on their stand or AMD's stand at CES.
