Ryzen benchmarking and overclocking results

Yeah single rank 3200Mhz works really well:

Although the fact that the bus runs at 99.76 Mhz vs 100 makes the OCD inside of me nuts.

Does the RAM run native at 3200 or do you have to use the BIOS presets to get the right frequency? I'm looking to buy the ROG Crosshair as well when it;s back in stock.

I have the prime x370, and it's one of the BIOS options goes from 2133 and caps out at 3200... i havent tried the native XMP (DOCP) support (its another one of the options), but it was really basic to get it going.

I think they are working on unlocking 3600 + options

Beware anyone flashing to the 0902 bios (Crosshair VI).. I was fidding around between offset and fixed voltages, aiming for 1.15-1.20v SOC.... got into windows, opened hwmon and it's at >1.5V!!! restarted and it checked it was set at 1.15 in bios, rebooted and still >1.5v! I set all the defaults and re-set everything to what I wanted and it's working now. Definitely a bit alarming though, check your volts everyone! It seems to be behaving now, fingers crossed.

I'm having some luck with my 1800x/CH6. It seems to like 4.0ghz 1.425v LLC4.. ~1.45V for 4.05ghz and 1.48V for 4.1ghz. Anything less and it crashes under heavy load, just displaying the 8 code. I've been looking for other settings that might let me reduce the core voltage but so far no joy. I have all VRM's set to extreme and 500khz, LLC is set at 4 for core and SOC. The 1.8V PLL is set at 2.0v. Has anyone else had a Eureka moment and found a setting these things particularly like?

I'm having crap luck with the memory, I can't really go much higher than 2666mhz atm, I was messing with the Base clock but every time I tried for a higher ram freq it crapped out on me. I just ordered some of the G.skill TridentZ 4266mhz 16gb kit, will be interesting to see how it goes with them.

It's a cool platform though, crunches like an absolute demon and very efficient at stock speeds. In hind sight the 1700 would have been a much wiser purchase.

Max memory support is 3200 so it will be a crap shoot on the Crosshair VI.

Yeah but you can bump it up a lot with the base clock. Supposedly it doesn't like running between 3200-3600, so hopefully I can get above that. And I believe newer bioses are meant to support memory dividers for more than 3200 with the 100mhz base clock. All I know is it seems to hate this HyperX 3333mhz stick!

edit: if it doesn't like fast ram then I can always dial in some nice tight timings.

Not much of an overclocker

Not much of an overclocker

Bad luck happens, but you have to expect that from the first batch of new AMD CPUs - it's like that since Phenom. My Phenom II didn't overclock much either, barely did a 3.7 GHz (from 3 GHz) with +0.1V which is more than I wanted to do. FX 8150 wasn't really great either when first released.

I got my 8150 to 5ghz on cold days and it 4.6ghz the rest of the time.

That's decent overclocks

Shame the cpu was a waste of my time and money but it was fun to fiddle with.

Decent overclocks maybe, but it didn't scale very much performance wise, that's why you can't really compare FX to full performance cores like Phenom II/Ryzen. FX was built for high clocks, it was totally bad without it - essentially the Pentium 4 of AMD (talking FX 8350 here, the FX 8150 wasn't really good anyway).

 

[Lt_JWS]

This seems like a good chip so far

Ram won't do anything but 2128mhz even using ryzen master. CPU does 3.9Ghz @ 1.325v with ryzen master, i haven't pushed any further since i've only had it for a few hours!

4Ghz @ 1.375, not stable crashed in Cinebench 15....

 

[infrared]

I got a chance to play with the TridentZ 4266mhz kit today, seems like there's potential there but it's finicky. 3666mhz at 125mhz bclk works but isn't totally steady, since the WCG challenge is going on I'll spend more time trying to get that stable soon.

It boots at the max 3200 no problem, I haven't finalized the voltages or timings yet but 3200 14-14-14-30 1.4v works nice.

EDIT: I used the 2400mhz strap and 145mhz bclk for 3480mhz 14-14-14-32-1T, the performance step-up from the above 3200mhz setup is impressive!

 

[cadaveca]

You 3200 MHz is a bit... low. This is with no CPU OC, mem only.

Nice BCLK OC though, that's way higher than I have gotten! 136 MHz is max for me.

 

[infrared]

Hmm, nice numbers! I think my lower 3200mhz result it's because it was running 2T. The newer bios (0902) for the CH6 uses now runs the memory in 2T if 2666 or higher is selected, 1T is only 2400 or less now. Hopefully they'll make it a selectable option, along with higher memory dividers.

I'm surprised the Taichi can't go as high on bclk, or do you think that's just pot luck with the cpu?

I'm not sure, to be honest. If I had another chip I could maybe figure it out, but I don't so I am unsure. It does have clockgen, but maybe not a good enough one...? Not sure.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Can I ask, for coolers will AM3 work on AM4 boards?

 

[FlanK3r]

only at Crosshair VI Hero (two section with holes for brackets)
Or you can use AM3 cooler, if is type of cooler with clips (not with AM3 bracket) as example SIlentium Fera

 

[Tatty_Two]

Thanks, was thinking 240mm AIO.... so no?

 

[FlanK3r]

No, because AIO have brackets and AM3 brackets cant pass to the AM4 holes (one exceptiuon is Crosshair VI Hero)

 

[Tatty_Two]

In that case my decision is made, thank you.

Anyone else getting temp readings that seem off? This is prime95 after 8 hours on a custom loop

Is that after a bios update? Just thinking aloud.. I wonder if the +20c offset has been removed in a new bios and it's now showing a more accurate temperature. What does it drop down to when you stop aida?

My thoughts I only get low reading while overclocked and I did upgrade to the latest crosshair VI bios.

Oh for sure no question about it the cpu was piss poor.

But at 5ghz even the ole 8150 could pull off a decent cinebench multi score ( at the time of launch anyway)

I actually went from a phenom x6 I think the 1050t to the 8150 and it was a downgrade in pretty much every way heh.
Wasn't all bad though a friend of mine got my 1050 setup and my 6850, quite the upgrade from his pentium d system! Although his shitty power supply eventually blew the mother board up.

Rebuilding that rig today with him actually. Be cool to compare performance.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Damn I have found a compatible AM4 AIO, so now I am stuck, might just have to pull the trigger on this little lot this weekend and just dive in at the deep end and shout for help lots!.............................................
Edit: After some more research I think I will swap out the Asus Prime Plus to the MSI Tomahawk.

Some stability testing... 3.85Ghz @ 1.35v
