Question Zen 4 builders thread

I know its early, but as someone pointed out, I better get my ram now before the scalpers are all over it.

To go with a 7950x, what do you think of this ram:

Asrock released a new beta BIOS with the only entry in the change log something like “optimized for ryzen master” … have you tried it?

I don’t think ECO mode exists yet, but you can set it manually with PBO power and current limits. I’ve seen the official ECO mode numbers here and there but can’t recall off the top of my head.

The only thing I saw was on the beta bios, a max temp. But since I was having memory problems then, I went back to 07.

MSI now has the so many BIOS Options like Disabling AVX-512 and other features. MSI has always have cool BIOS Features. Why not go with them?

I already have the 2 Taichi boards up and running. Why would I return them now ?

True.

My 7950X system is running really well using Debian 11.5. I'm getting single core speeds up to 5700Mhz well under 50C. Pretty impressive so far.

 

[eek2121]

So? Was it so slow that you fell asleep?

It was like a second faster. Sorry I have a bit of a schedule conflict, (I have an exersise routine I do in the early afternoon that takes 80 minutes or so), not as big as I had hoped, however, I'm actually really impressed so far. (I managed to put my 3090 in an unfair position hanging upside down from the PCIE extender) and I am absolutely LOVING this build. I had some crashes when I started gaming and stuff, thought they were related to memory, but get this: It was all DRIVERS. ASUS depends on Intel and Mediatek for most of their stuff, and if you don't install those drivers you will not be happy. The crashes I noticed were primarily silent eventlog stuff. Going through my actual productivity workloads once I can finish the build, but WOW, I am impressed with what AMD has done. I was gaming tonight and the game I was playing (7 Days to Die) went from 70-90FPS to 120FPS capped at my 5120x1440 refresh. The game wasn't even CPU bound to begin with.

I bought another Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe drive. I now have three of them in RAID-0. 24TB total. System/OS drive is still a 1TB Rocket 4. Going to replace that one when PCI-E Gen 5 drives become available. Managed to get all 4 drives working without having to downgrade the number of PCI-E lanes of the first PCI-E slot. Graphics still has all 16 lanes.

I've had AIDA64 report overly inflated write performance. Run it again and I bet it's around 80GB/s. The copy score is a good indicator of that. If write was truly so high then copy would be much higher.

AIDA64 has a terrible memory benchmark, but it's the only easily accessible one people have.

Look my edit, not a fluke..

I am interested in all these MSI BIOSes, where are they? I only got this

Ran a memory stability test this morning. I want to run it more tonight, however, initial results showed no errors, so it does appear this 64gb kit plays nice. It does appear my current BIOS has a bug related to sleep, however. Letting the PC go to sleep causes an instant reboot.

What exactly 64GB kit do you use? Could you post AIDA64 read/write/copy benchmark screenshot?
I also plan getting 2x32GB DDR5 kit for Ryzen 7000, not sure should I wait for more 64GB EXPO kits to be available on the market...

 

[eek2121]

The kit is F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5K. I will try and post an Aida64 screenshot later, however because Windows memory integrity is enabled on the latest versions of Windows 11, the numbers may not be that great.

…and it died. Shut it down and put the case together. Did not touch motherboard. Would not boot back up. ROG hive thing indicates CPU.

Just put together my new setup, I have F5-6000J3238G32GX2-TZ5RS (must be very similar stick), and loading DOCP1 and matching UCLK (those are the only things I did in BIOS), its perfectly stable on short runs of P95 and TestMem5 so far.

Reset BIOS, restart and try again.

Yikes! Reseat the CPU maybe?

 

[Captante]

Holy carp!

Check all wires and for "shorts" if a BIOS reset doesn't fix it.... something like knocking a SATA cable loose or maybe dropping a screw is all I can think of that you could have done just handling/assembling the case.

It may be not be the CPU at all.

 

[Captante]

Whoops dbl.

They are only PCI-E 3.0 drives. Still plenty fast for a gaming PC. Especially in RAID-0. Did it mostly for the capacity.

What's the game you hate the most in terms of loading times? Howz the difference with the triple drive RAID-0? How many seconds saved?

 

[Captante]

You think??

That's over twice the "real-world" transfer rate I see from my single SN850. (which is still damn fast)

It used to be GTA 5. Loads much faster compared to when I played it years ago. Red Dead Redemption 2 takes its sweet time. Haven't tried it with the new array. Wouldn't know how many seconds saved even after trying it out.
