I've heard almost nothing but praise from you about Ryzen - both in general and 'bout your crunching rig - which is a welcome change.
Did you encounter any problems with the AM4 platform thus far Norton?

None so far- pretty happy with it as a crunching rig. Still getting used to Win 10 so it will be a couple more weeks before I move it over to replace my main rig with this setup.

It's pretty funny with so many cores, you can play a game and still be crunching on half the CPU and you wouldn't even know! :rockout:These things rock!

Just checked it with the meter- 150w steady at full load :cool:

Sweet deal, thank you for checking! My 4770k system pulls closer to 200w and yeilds consistently lower ppd, averaging probably ~50-60% of your ppd.

Time to make the jump! :D

Nice! It's only just getting going too, in a week you'll be 16k+ if it's going 24/7. With linux and SCC units you should hit 18-20k fairly consistently :rockout:

I'm running my 1700 at 3.7@1.2v - getting close to 10k ppd and I imagine I'll see more as more jobs get cached for validation.

It doesn't do 24/7 crunching, since it is my main rig and when I need it I'll stop the threads so I can use it to full effect (such as gaming and recording, encoding movies etc). Probably crunches 14-16h out of the day when I'm working/sleeping and off an on the rest of the time.

Happy with the performance so far with win10
