Yes CGod I hope so, because that is one special setup if he can keep the CPU at 18C. Lol

I've already sold my 7700k system to a friend so I'm staying with the 3700x. I'm just going to have to come to terms with it being more of a sidegrade than an upgrade to a 3 year old CPU. It's close enough in most games although I've tried League of Legends and it's WAY worse than the 7700k was (220fps vs 350+fps with the 7700k). I'll just hope that there are some games that come out that I enjoy where it's a real improvement. Hopefully the 4000 series will build upon it.
I don't really know what I expected. I "upgraded" from an i5-6600k to a 1700x when they first came out and it mostly a downgrade so I returned it for the 7700k which was a big improvement in most games. Now I've gotten rid of the 7700k for a 3700x and it again isn't really an upgrade. I miss the old days when I could buy new hardware and get meaningful improvements.
May I ask why you did not bump up to the 3800x? That most likely would have been a slight upgrade that way.
Well that sounds like a good time LOL! I guess we can feel blessed its not as painful and time consuming as it was with Windows 95 or 98.Well I decided to do a windows re-install today

I read a post from last summer of AMD-Robert talking about setting the CPU VDDP voltage from auto to normal. It made a world of difference for me in boosting my clocks by allowing the voltage to ramp up higher.I returned the Asus B450 board and picked up the Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI. One nice thing about the Gigabyte board is that the CPU Voltage when set to Auto is only 1.22V while the Asus board's Auto setting would always be at 1.4-1.44V. I also like the BIOS layout better than the Asus board but it's still pretty annoying that no ITX-compatible AM4 boards other than the $430 Asus Crosshair VIII Impact have an internal USB-C header when $150 Z390 boards have them.
I never understood why a lower value gives better performance that the Motherboard value which is 280A on my board. Can you enlighten me or point me to an article?
Don't know if this provides a point of reference since I am usually the opposite around here. That is, no overclocking, no multi-core enhancement, no uber RAM (dual rank XMP 15-15-15 2666), and balanced power. I get 4900/497 on my i7-9900K.
Totally different architecture, Without a cross CCX communication ryzen tears through the intel sku's in nearly all synthetics. It's not surprising that intel does not need "uber ram" to come out at that score. Plus you would hope their performance didn't tank after being stuck on 14nm for so long. I love my 8700k don't get me wrong, and overclocking it's ram provided a decent bump in games (tfaw, tcke and trfc clocks mostly for fps in games), but productivity it just is miles ahead. I would rather cop a hatchet to the back of my skull and spend the rest of my days using crayons to color books than to use the igpu for hardware accelerated exporting in adobe. x264 is just so much better, smaller file size, better quality at the same bitrate (pixel peeping of course though it can get blocky on quicksync) and is comparatively as fast at times.
Power is also a thing here though, in Australia we pay 25 american cents per kilowatt hour used. I think it may be more now even....sad days....anyway between dynamic boosting and sustained boosts I love the efficiency and performance ryzen now provides with a more mature ecosystem in relation to BIOS/Drivers/Windows updates.
Great things ahead hopefully with the ryzen 3 announcements.
That's with all of the tweaks discussed in this thread. While the single core test was running I watched Ryzen Master and saw Core 8 boosting up to a max of 3,386 Mhz (probably an average high of 3,350) and then handing off to Core 6 and boosting up to a max of 3,354 Mhz (average of around 3,345 Mhz) and back and forth; temps never went over 56C.
Have you tried getting a baseline of your stock performance first? With the system doing ACPI CPPC, CStates enabled, XFR, balanced power (or whatever optimal Ryzen power setting). RAM at XMP or manual config for its timings, as it should be, for all of the tests. Then doing PBO off/on?
You are very close to my system. You should have a 3.6 base clk that boosts a bit higher, no? And a single core ~4.3? With typical baseline configuration....
And to note, there may be an issue with single core boosting from Cinebech. I can easily and do hit 5ghz single core (as you can see in HWMonitor, and that 5Ghz is not from Cinebench) but it clocks at 4.9 and seems to toss the clock around even though one core is pegged for work. Although, IIRC, the 5GHz is only to last a short time, and not full clock for single and dual core operation.
Make sure you're using the latest Ryzen 2 Chipset drivers, the 1usmus power plan (i found 1usmus universal settings is best for myself with gaming) as well as Process Lasso to set affinity of background apps to slower cores and threads.
Process lasso also helps to induce performance mode just make sure performance mode doesn't change the power plan, that can be changed in the options.
Performance mode helps greatly with foreground apps and the latest chipset drivers combined with the most recent BIOS updates allows 1usmus' power plan to boost the correct threads based on your workload instead of praying the scheduler plays nice with the standard ryzen power plans (they don't as much and 1usmus' plan forces correct core boosting).
You should find after doing all that that your ryzen CPU performs a bit better.
Hey everyone, so I just built a 3700x system and while the synthetic benchmarks are amazing the gaming performance isn't what I expected (with a 2080ti @ 1440p it's anywhere from a bit slower to equal to my old [email protected]). So I'm looking for things that I may need to do to help it stretch it's legs.
Some of the things I've tried:
1) Set RAM to 3600Mhz and IF to 1800Mhz. Used the Ryzen Mem Calc and tweaked the RAM timings. This helped quite a bit (AC:Odyssey gained like 3fps on the minimum framerate and 14fps on the maximum).
2) Installed Ryzen Master but haven't messed with it that much yet as it seems to reduce the desktop refresh rate to like 20hz? As soon as it's open the mouse movement on the windows desktop just dies.
3) Installed the AMD Ryzen drivers and switched to the Ryzen power plan.
I haven't messed with PBO/overclocking yet as the Asus ROG Strix B450-I board's BIOS is convoluted as all hell and I haven't looked up any guides on it. I mean most motherboards would have have an XMP setting to enable but on this thing the memory timings are enabled through D.O.C.P...
What I've been used to with Intel systems is basically just, "Set FSB, set Multiplier, install chipset drivers, done" but it seems like there's quite a bit more to getting Ryzen working optimally. Is there anything that I'm missing?

I reset the BIOS to Optimized defaults + XMP and received the below. So about a 100 point difference in Multicore and a 2 point difference in single core. No point in even spending any time in the BIOS adjusting memory and PBO settings....
I do not understand why you do not want free performance by change a couple things in BIOS.It is fine but here are my settings with 3800X note temperatures and score,that could be you in all the Cinebench20 glory lol.
Single Thread-530 score
Multi Thread -5260 score
Idle temperature CPU-28°C
Max temperature CPU-71°C
What are you bosting to? My 3960x stays at 4.475-4.6 with peaks to 4.675 95% time over 4.5 gaming and about 4.3 allcore.
It destroys my old 6850k in everything it might just be you had unrealistic expectations going form a Intel at 4.9 to and at 4.5

Not trying to trick you,I have read the thread and posted way to much in thread.I was trying to help you.Your chasing and spending cash on nothing that does not make a difference in performance ,it is all just numbers.Stop ,return your X570 and get your money back.The 450 board is/was fine. You can always go back to your old Intel setup or upgrade Intel system.It appears the AMD system may be to much to deal with,it happens ,you have a what you think should be the performance and that was not met by the new AMD PC.If you read the thread I've tried just about everything out there and there just doesn't seem to be much to be gained on this chip. Also, your score is probably being influenced by your 1900Mhz IF; I can't seem to get above 1800Mhz though I'm not sure if it's the CPU or Memory that is at fault. The temps on mine are similar and the all core boosts the same as yours.
As you can see on the post above you he picked up 400 points from setting the IF to 1900mhz....
You act like I haven't done any tweaks. I've done everything in this thread and more from 50 different PBO configs to all-core overclocks; this includes your settings on the first page. Tweaking PBO and using Ryzen Memory Calculator gets me 100 points in CB and like +/- 2 fps in games. If you read up you'll see that I reset back to the Optimized Defaults + XMP just to get some baseline numbers....
I sold the 7700k guts to a friend before I sidegraded to Ryzen so there's no going back. I just didn't like the B450 ITX boards; they all felt lacking compared to my old Z270 ITX board and were more limited with m.2 slots so I went with a nicer x570 board. I can deal with it but will hold out hope that the next AM4 Ryzen CPUs are an upgrade.

Memory has nothing to do with it.Here is ,oh god I hate cinebench but 2133Mhz is still same result.Even PC gaming with 2080ti at 2560x1440 with 2133Mhz Ram has nothing to do with your perceived under performance problems.

Well ,it just may be that you have 2 x CCD and one sucks .With 1 CCD much better chance to hit 1900Mhz FCLK /1933Mhz FCLK.That is the best I got,no problems though.If you tune your timings on Ram ,the FCLK does not make a real difference in performance.Still love to know how some people get above 1866 fclk. I've had two 3900x chips and one 3950x and have never gotten 1900 fclk. I've set the SOC voltage as high as I'm comfortable with at 1.11250 and it just doesn't work.
Yeah, I quit chasing the fclk. I set it back down to 1800 and roll with that.Well ,it just may be that you have 2 x CCD and one sucks .With 1 CCD much better chance to hit 1900Mhz FCLK /1933Mhz FCLK.That is the best I got,no problems though.If you tune your timings on Ram ,the FCLK does not make a real difference in performance.
