AMD RYZEN Builders Thread

[Lovec1990]

Guys what is better cooler for ryzen : Noctua NH-D15s or Crosair H115i ?

 

[IEC]

ASUS Crosshair VI Hero motherboard:
10 in stock at Dallas Metroplex/Richardson Store - Located in Aisle 24

There will be zero by the time I can make it over

 

[Valantar]

Up and running ! - i think i beat you to the punch guys

Was that the first AnandTech forum post from a retail Ryzen system?

 

[scannall]

Looks like the Denver Microcenter has a lot of chips and motherboards in stock.... Should send the son-in-law over for me...

 

[krumme]

Yes @krumme , do you happen to have a kill-a-watt meter to test power consumption?

Had 3 at some times. Disappear like kids and money. So no.

 

[Crono]

Looking at a few reviews, I'm glad I went with (well, going with, have to pick it up this weekend) the 1700.

Amazon doesn't have a delivery date yet for me though for the Crosshair VI Hero. Anyone have their's charged/shipped yet from them? Expecting all other parts today... can't really do anything without the mobo, though.

Winner here!
How does it feel?
Are you running standard windows 10 drivers for AHCI, NVMe and USB?
Or did you Install Crimson relive 17.2.1 for SB?

Looks like 1700 is the sweet spot. Also re: gaming benchmarks, 1080p and 720p low settings FPS are all over the place and sucky in reviews, but 1080p ultra and 1440p ultra looks good:

I'd prefer air cooling overall for silence under load, and overall lower complexity of cooling solution.

And D15S is one of best CPU coolers there is.

Asus Crosshair VI Hero preparing for shipping. Hell. Yes.

I preordered from Newegg within the first hour, FWIW.

Thanx.
Booted sata ssd without drivers in win 10. Ahci i guess.
So windoes have a update for that.
Installed the other drivers then from dvd.
Dont know what crimsome relive is

Bios is inmature. Looks more like a draft. 3 weeks old. So yeaa needs a good deal more software dev. It goes for all the tools i tried.

My guess is most will be ironed out in a month.

As of now ASUS AL Suite 3 is interferring with AMD OC software tool.
My recommandation, with an asus mb, is to stay on the Asus for now as it is tailormade to the bios.
Really weird to oc from the desktop btw. But makes it very fast to evaluate steps. Havnt tried that before

 

[krumme]

Btw. on my prior haswell build i made for one of the kids, drivers was needed for win 7 to boot. Not so here. So in many cases this is a far more simple setup.

According to B&H support they will be shipping the first Ryzen batch on Monday...

Me : hi Dave, I'm sure you're getting this question a lot, but I pre-ordered a Ryzen 1800X as soon as it was available at BH with a shipping date of March 2nd
Dave R : The item is on backorder. We just have in stock tommorow
Me : will it be shipped tomorrow then?
Dave R : no. Most probably Monday
Me : any reason why it changed from shipping on 3/2 when I was pre-ordering
Dave R : Im not sure why

Awesome, did you reinstall Windows 10 or just let it recognize your new hardware?

 

[EXCellR8]

Haven't received any updates on my order... but I did get my block brackets and new pump/fittings.

Looks like Amazon screwed up their launch, seen lots of chat transcripts and pretty much all the same, here is mine:

Me: Products in order are released today, ordered within 13 minutes of preorder window opening, wondering the ETA on when my stuff will ship considering I'm front of the line? Thanks.
You are now connected to Kiran Balkrishna from Amazon.com
Kiran Balkrishna: Hello, my name is Kiran . I'm here to help you today.
Me: Hello
Kiran Balkrishna: Hello,-redacted-.
Could you please help me with the order#?
Me: Yes one second.
-redacted-
Kiran Balkrishna: I'll surely look into it,please do not worry.
Could you please help me with the item name?
Me: Both Ryzen 1800X and the MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM
Kiran Balkrishna: -redacted-,I can see that this item is fast selling item and there is no inventory of this item,however,I can see that we're procuring this item and will be in stock soon,please do not worry,you'll be notified by the email once we have the estimated delivery date.
Me: Alright, any idea on how long the procurement will take? Are we talking a day or two or weeks or months?
Kiran Balkrishna: It might take approximately a week to get the item in stock,however,please be assured,you'll be notified soon.
Me: alright, thanks for your time
have a good day
Kiran Balkrishna: It was a pleasure to assist you with this. Thank you for contacting Amazon.com. We hope to see you again. Please click "End Chat" to close this window.
Have a great rest of your day.

Hmm, doesn't sound like they sold out within 13 minutes, seems like they didn't have stock period and won't get any until about a week from now. I mean I can understand all the griping, the whole point of preordering is so you can get a shipment near or on launch date, instead of having to wait for stock when ordering on or after launch date.

For Amazon to not have stock period until a week after the launch date, that is a pretty big fail right there.

 

[EXCellR8]

well, looks like I'm canceling my order then. the board I wanted is out of stock everywhere, but if Amazon doesn't have them anyway then that's basically the same thing.

 

[Elfear]

Preordered all three of the new Ryzen chips from Microcenter but they ran out of the Crosshair VI in no time. I'll probably cancel my order since I don't have a motherboard to put them in and I don't want to miss out on the $30 discount for CPU/motherboard combos.

 

[LTC8K6]

You want a 1700 anyway, not an 1800X.

 

[Despoiler]

Any of you that went with or are going with Asrock boards, they posted a new 1.40 BIOS today. Significant version jump from the 1.10 first BIOS.

 

[EXCellR8]

there's a solid chance i wouldn't have been able to get to the build right away anyway, but the whole point of a preorder is to reserve the item... like usual, screw the consumers.

 

[unseenmorbidity]

You can no backorder the Asrock Taichi from newegg, but it shows 1-15 days for shipping.

[Shlong]

I am looking to build a 4K workstation for videos. Currently looking at the 1700X paired with 32GB DDR4 2400 ram, Samsung 960 EVO 500GB, and a GTX 1070. What's a good decent motherboard with NVME? I don't really want to spend $200 - $250 on the high-end ones.
