AMD’s Next Gen x86 High Performance Core is Code Named “Zen”

Supposedly some news on the ryzen 5 not sure if correct. But Guru3d accidentally put a post up and took it down.

second pic is a closer look at the cpu's

So april 11th?

Pics that were posted.

 

So decided to bite the bullet.

This will be the basis of the new build

G.Skill TRIDENT Z 16GB KIT 2X8GB F4-3000C15D-16GTZ DDR4 3000MHZ

Ryzen 7 1700

Crosshair VI

Crucial MX300 525 GB M2

GTX 670 or 1070 depending on which I end up liking more.

Having to go reasonably tight as I just built a 7700k/Maximus IX hero in a new case with 1070 and new SSD's etc and SWMBO will have a spack even at this but hey - what can I say I like AMD and it looks fun

From what I can tell the ram is Samsung E-Die which should be ok - I had a $200 ram budget and they seemed best. ANy alternative suggestions appreciated though

Just need to find a reasonable 2nd hand psu and I will be done.

*fingers crossed*

 

I am looking at Umart Milton stock on CH VI and it is in stock there.....

Mebbe it just hasnt made it to outlying stores yet

 

Most of the "top" boards are in stock, I'm waiting on the MSI B350M Gaming Pro, everyone else has it just not Umart , suppose I wont be getting my RAM or cooler till next week anyway so I'm stuck waiting either way.

 

So new BIOS is in, when XFR hits 3.9Ghz CPU is showing 1.5v, WTF did asus screw up the BIOS?

 

It's a bug with the monitoring software.

 

so cpu not going to melt then lol

 

No it won't, HWiNFO and HWMonitor are reporting wrong voltages sometimes across all the boards + CPUs.

You can always lock voltage if it makes you feel a bit safer.

 

Did you not consider a couple of Dual Channel Kits such as the http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3733c17d-16gtza or http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3600c15d-16gtz with better actual real time latencies?

 

Costs more to get 2x2x8GB kits than 1x4x8 GB kit.

I can change speed and timings, that's not exactly hard to do.

 

3.8Ghz stable with 2400Mhz Ram at 1.3v LLC level 3, going to try and drop the volts a little more tonight.

Noticed a bug since BIOS update, fan expert in AISUITE no longer works, anyone else got this problem?

 

Isn't one of the recommendations to not install all that shit that comes with the mobo?

 

Not any more, the AISuite is quite good at software fan control within windows.

Beats the pants off speedfan and the like for manual fan adjustment.

 

Never loads the fan profiles correctly for me unless I manually do it. Ended up just doing the full q-fan adjustment in bios..

 

Currently cooling my 1800X with one of these

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Cooling/CPU-Coolers-AIR/67374-RR-212TR-16PR-R1

Seems to work well, eventhough apparently cpu temps are not reporting right, which makes sense.

If the temps were right, this $59 air cooler, matches performance of my 360mm Hardware Labs Nemesis GTX custom loop, (could buy 15 of the 212 for that!)

Cant wait to set my loop back up, had to take it apart to remove the 1080 Strix, so i could install the 1080 ti

this, the less software i have to install the better, always prefer to use bios to set fans then software.

 

What temps are you getting with the 212? I ordered one for my 1800X till EK's new AIO line comes out .

 

my idle temps with 1800x are round 50-60 with the 212

it reports, 60-65 in games, so IDK. doesnt feel hot, and runs fine, and is pretty quiet too.

thats according to AMDs own software, and thats the same temps my EK Custom loop was getting.

Apparently on the 1700 temps are being read correctly, and there are issues with temp readings from the X chips.

 

That's not to bad for a cheapie cooler, my idle temps with my custom loop on my 3570K / 290 are about 40° - 50°, it hasn't been cleaned in 2 years though so... .

Yeah temps are apparently 20° to hot or something, hopefully that gets fixed soon.

 

just a comparison here between 1800X and 5960X

1800X @ 4.0Ghz 1.35V - Idle temps 360mm rad no gpu coooled = 50-60
5960x @ 4.5Ghz 1.25V - Idle temps 240mm rad with GPU cooled = 24 and gpu 29

AMD has always run hot, but if the ryzen temps are right, that will be disappointing.

 

Ncrypt, is that taking into account the 20 deg difference in temps for the 1700x and 1800x? If not, subtract 20 from each of those temps to get actual temps.
