AMD Ryzen Discussion Thread.

RealNeil · Jun 6, 2017

I'm unable to get my RAM to run at rated speed. (3200MHz.)
The 1700X runs at 3.9GHz. and the RAM is at 2933MHz speeds so I guess that isn't so bad.

It's an ASUS Crosshair IV Hero with 16GB of GEIL EVO-X RGB (two 8GB sticks)
The Ryzen 1700X is cooled with a Corsair 280mm AIO cooler with two Cougar 140mm fans pushing the heat out of the top.
I used a Corsair Carbide Air-540 Chassis with custom fans installed into it. (the airflow is outstanding)
I have a Crucial 500GB M.2 drive, a Hyper-X 480GB SSD, and a 2TB Hitachi DeskStar HDD in it.
My two RX480 8GB Gigabyte G1-Gaming cards are inside running crossfire.

@RealNeil You've got both sticks in channel A, you're in single channel mode atm. Move 1 across and you should get a decent performance bump and possibly clock better

Edit: I like the red/black theme btw

trparky · Jun 6, 2017

Not only that but...

You need to put those two memory modules into slots A2 and B2.

RealNeil · Jun 6, 2017

Oops! (feel like a noob)
First Ryzen build.

trparky · Jun 6, 2017

I know, we're men, we don't read the directions. Directions? Yeah, it's those things I threw in back of the couch.

If all else fails, read the directions.

RealNeil · Jun 6, 2017

Yeah,...which way did I go?

So, no real change in performance. Cinebench was slightly faster.
Maybe I'll slap the BIOS setting around again.

Maybe not until tomorrow.

Cvrk · Jun 6, 2017

I feel like i'm spamming but....
Is this RAM good for Ryzen ?

That's probably good for AGESA 1.0.0.6. It seems to run sticks like that ok. Earlier ones if you don't have Samsung B-die have a real hard time hitting 3200MHz, and I have no idea what's under the heatspreader there, so I can only assume it's not.

tl;dr: Load the latest beta bios/whatever your board maker has and it should work.

"*1 Due to the limitation of AMD Ryzen processors, memory frequencies higher than DDR4 2666 MHz are supported only when using one DIMM. "

One DIMM ?? I don't get it

Some of those Hynix kits will work if you use the BCLK to raise the speed verus the memory divider.

Sounds like they never updated the posting from early bios teething issues.

Yeah. I have a feeling there's no way in heck that warning is accurate given the bios situation today.

You could look for a single rank Hynix kit as well. Mine is Hynix and I can clock it to 3200. i'm using a Gaming 5 w/ the latest bios as well. AFAIK, G skill kits with looser timings out of the box are Hynix kits. Mine is a 3000Mhz CL16 kit CL15 or lower is usually Samsung B-dies.

TommyT · Jun 7, 2017

Hello everyone after long time i was away without any build at all...

i"m back with nice upgrade. the only issue do you thing i pick the good memory modules?

Join in. I pointed out the Corsair ones above. Since the GSKill are extremely expensive in my country.

I was going to trade in my 1x8gb stick of Viper DDR4 2400MHZ to upgrade to that same Corsair 3200mhz kit. My ASUS B350-prime plus mobo says it supports those speeds. So I'm guessing I will not have the same problem..?
I have a Ryzen 5 1600x.

I almost made that mistake too when putting mine together. Luckily I checked and didn't

I cannot be certain but I doubt you will have any issue. If unsure, ask ASUS maybe.

EarthDog · Jun 7, 2017

Your best bet is qvl list and the latest bios...

phanbuey · Jun 7, 2017

going to try the beta agesa 1.0.0.6 tonight see if i can get 3600 going.

What software do you guys recommend for temp monitoring with the Ryzen platform?

I've been using Ryzen Master but will try this. Does it compensate for the 20 degree offset?

I believe they have removed the offset in the more recent versions
