AMD RYZEN 2000 Builders Thread

[stAbb]

Capt Caveman, I do not own both a x370 and x470 boards myself so all I can tell you is what I've seen in other people's benchmarks.

I'll just leave one of them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKgC2tWcvvc
A cheap b350 board vs an expensive x470 board.

Even these chipsets seems to perform identical. (margin of error stuff)
Presuming you bought a well performing x370 board, it looks like you don't have to worry about loosing much performance.

Perhaps someone who tried this for themselves could verify this as I only have the internet as my source.

With kind regards,
stAbb

My Asus X470 CH7 has been damaged either during packaging or during delivery - the cardboard packaging material ripped off one onboard button, the RGB header and "add_header" (whatever this is for) connector pins .

The store I bought from seems to only support undoing the order as return policy (as far as I understood their process). In the meantime the Taichi X470 came into stock.

@Markfw How is the X470 Taichi? Do you know if it is possible to have an audio setup with: TOSLINK, a headset attached to the backplate connectors and one headset on the front connectors and switch between all of these in the driver? I always have problems with the impedance sensing for the headset attached to the backplate line out on my Asus X370 Pro.

NO idea, sorry. Its more a audio question, where I have no experience, sorry.

But in general, the Taichi I think is the best motherboard, hence why I got one.

Ok, thanks

Thank you so much for this tidbit. 1.41 crashed, but 1.42 seems to be good. Running prime95 blend test now.

I could do 1.43 for ~5.5 hours, but then a rounding error, any more voltage above that is not stable. Back to 3000 and 1.355.

After few days playing with my R7 2700X on Asus X370-PRO Prime, I'm happy to report that BIOS and hardware support are very solid! Stock settings CPU will boost to 4.35GHz in games and I can OC my sample to 4.2GHz all cores @1.325V stable. No significant vDrop with LLC on auto either

Tested with BIOS 4008.

You can overclock the speed of the memory ram above 3200Mhz with this new processor?

No luck with 3400+ but I only tried quick default DOCP and 1.4V. It wasn't stable so I concentrated on 1.35V 3200 and tight timings. I might try again this weekend with 1.45V and 3466MHz.

I am running 3466 (3600 memory)@1.38 v

Ok, thanks you. Waiting for your test.

With a Prime X370 Pro?

No, X470 Taichi

 

[Pablogamer]

O

No, X470 Taichi

Okay, i am asking for the speed memory with the Asus Prime X370 Pro. I ordered a 2600X and i am thinking if is a good idea to jump to a X470 board to increase the memory speed.

I would try the X370 first. I have an X370 Taichi running 3200 cl14

Yes, now i running 3200 CL14 with my 1700x. How much fps increase from 3200 to 3466?

Its not just the speed increase, its the subtimings. See other threads (I think its the Ryzen strictly technical) for data on subtimings, and also FPS increases, its here somewhere.

 

[B-Riz]

So the old case I am using is kinda janky, and the video card does not seat well enough for booting anymore, but the video card works in the R3 2200G box that is in an equaly old and janky case, lol. Will do the old swap-a-roo to a newer case later.

 

[Shamrock]

Welp, due to MSI not updating BIOS against Spectre, I bought an ASRock Taichi, 2700x, and G.Skill Flare X 3200 Ram.

So, I joined (back) into the AMD crew. It's good to be back.

If you get bored and/or want to tweak that memory for lower latency, check out the posts in Highly Technical on the Ryzen DRAM Calculator and Ryzen Timing Checker.

Mark used it to tune for 3466 Low Latency and your 3200 FlareX kit should be capable of similar since it is also Samsung B-die. Assuming 2x8GB. You may have to settle for 3200 CL14 or 3333 CL14 if you try to run 4x8GB.

 

[Shamrock]

That's the whole plan why I bought the Flare X I'm happy with 3200 (2x8gb).

@PingSpike Ryzen 2700X + 4 DIMMs (4x8GB)

Been super busy lately and AC unit going out has not helped matters. But I finally managed to make the time to get the 2700X slotted into my existing Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K7 rig and moved the 1800X to the new AX370 Gaming 5 board.

Skipping straight to memory/cache in AIDA64, using XMP 3200 CL14 profile with 32GB (4x8GB) G.Skill DDR4-3200 CL14 (quad channel kit, Samsung B-die), frequency changed to 3333, 1.38V vDIMM, no subtiming changes, AKA plug and pray:

Good starting point to tweak from, since I know it was stable previously. Already a 10%+ improvement versus the previous gen. And no errors in AIDA64 memory stress test for several hours and counting...

Gigabyte's top end X370 boards have BIOS DIP switches... I made sure to flash the backup BIOS as well before removing the 1800X so both my BIOSes would have Pinnacle Ridge support (AGESA 1002):


The CPU in the nude before installation:


Installed with the Noctua D15 treatment:


Bonus: Ryzen 2700X stock cooler installed with the 1800X on the new (not yet tested) AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard. Hey, it almost looks like it belongs there!

2nd gen 'rippers coming soon; now sampling according to VC

https://videocardz.com/newz/2nd-gen-amd-ryzen-threadripper-is-now-sampling

AMD’s HEDT platform will soon receive an update with a new line of Ryzen processors. The Ryzen Threadripper 2000 will utilize 12nm fabrication process, which will likely allow AMD to increase power efficiency and overall frequency in single and multi-threaded applications.

mmmmm, 2950X... but 2019 is 3000 series, ughhh

 

[Shamrock]

*hugs his Ryzen 2700x*

Everything went together without a single problem. ASRock has adopted another fan.
I keep my PCs for a while. I'll be playing with RAM timings over the weekend. I have to strip my sportbike and put some go fast parts on.

Also my first adventure with Win10. bleh.

 

[mikeymikec]

I've got my second Ryzen-G computer build on order, I'm just waiting to find out whether the A6-9500 I previously bought will pay off again by allowing me to do the necessary BIOS update so the board will handle the Ryzen 2400G I've ordered for it.

Essential tool right there. Plain insane how much of it repeatedly gets reset after updates though.

Recently built a Ryzen 2700X system for my brother utilizing the Gigabyte Aoreus X470 with 16 GB of Corsair 3200 DDR4 on Windows 10 Pro. We picked out a sweet TG Raidmax case paired with an EVGA G3 750 watt PSU. It's a fast computer and it looks slick. The AMD RGB cooler is amazing. Has one of those Samsaung m.2 SSD things and two mechanical drives from his older computer. It blows my OC'd Intel to hell and back.

All in all the entire build cost less than a grand due to cash back rewards on spend amounts. Only thing he wants now is an RGB keyboard but non-mechanical.
