Ryzen Satisfaction?

its coming in the mail but I got a i3 2120. Bought the 1600.

Oh and this will be the firs time using an SSD.

>>60922170
I've had a 1700x for a couple months, i had to wait a month or so till my motherboard showed up due to shortages. It took a couple bios updates to make 2933mhz stable with my memory .

it's been cool being part of a fresh platform and seeing bios updates actually do things .

ryzen is really fucking fast.

got 1600x for gayming

very happy about it, replaced i72600notK with it
it's good, cold and no issues, do not even running 3200 memory and it's already faster than 2600

4790k > 1700

9/10 satisfied with the cpu, 2/10 with the motherboard.

I can't actually tell the difference most times, I only notice it when transcoding and compressing media.

>>60922300
what mobo do you have ?

>>60922303
gigabyte gaming k5 x370

Has a clock generator but not basic OC features like LLC, ends up getting worse OC's than my asus b350 board. No mem training either so memory is a pain to OC

Also there's a distinct lack of bios updates, the normal gaming 5 series has had 6-7 updates and this board just got it's 3rd recently. Previous to that there was only pre-release bios and week 1 bios.

>>60922170
got a 1700 when it came out, upgraded from a 5 year old FX 8350
the difference was enormous, especially after moving my system over to an NVMe drive a few days later
might be a bad example though, that's a pretty massive switch and I don't have anything running a modern intel desktop CPU

>>60922359
went with the Prime X370 Pro by the way, breddy gud motherboard
the RGB shit can get annoying though, shines through the case vents when I'm watching a movie with the lights out

Went to a 1700 from a 8350
I never knew that my Rx480 was actually being bottle necked until I switched

I had a mid level i5 before getting my 1700. It is unreal how much the 1700 blows the i5 out of the water. Today I was 1TB of files that would have brought my i5 to a crawl. My 1700 didn't even slow down. I played Dota while streaming when I was copying the files and barely used 50% of my CPU. I'm blown away at the dichotomy in terms of performance between my old setup and new one.

memory doesn't get as fast as i want it, but stable as fuck...great streaming performance, idk. felt like i got good value considering nowadays i dont do play top tier games but mostly csgo.

having that headroom is nice though, for opening premiere, photoshop and after effects all at the same time and switch back and forth

4.7ghz 8320 -> 3.8ghz 1700. Currently 9/10 satisified - would be 10/10 but i'm a perpetual overclocker and i'm trying to dial in the stable OC. I did have it running for ages at 3.9 but recently it has become unstable so backedi t down to 3.8ghz.

In my foolishness I did buy some 3200mhz ram not on the QVL so currently running at 2666mhz and hoping I can manually tune 3200mhz.

>>60922170
6700k before
There are a few games that I can't run anymore because framerates but that's because the engines aren't optimized for all the cores
have a 1700x now and while I can't yet get the memory higher than 2933 frametimes are much much smoother and I can record full 4k with OBS and no drops using x264. I prefer this much more than not being able to play farcry primal or rising storm 2

There still are
It's a crosshair vi hero, the last bios update was a month ago and it doesn't get higher than 2933 at 1.36v. The recent beta bios on the 23rd doesn't help much either. Just gotta wait for more memory updates

How much faster do you find ryzen? Even with the clock advantage of ryzen you are still down 4 cores.

>>60922566
Spoiler: it's an fx 6-core in a ryzen box.

>>60922632
not him, but that xeon scores 1440 on cinebench, while any r7 at 4GHz gets somewhere at ~1800

>>60922566
Do they have 0 rep? Seen a lot of these pop up recently, just a quick cash and grab on their end.

Don't waste your time.

>>60922573
I have an AB350M Pro4 and can't get my TridentZ to boot faster than 3066. At 3066 I seem to be 99% stable but had one lockup in 48 hours, so just decided to drop down to 2933 and see how it goes.

>>60922653
and for having less cores, the single threaded performance is higher on the r7 1700

probably Q1 2018

>>60922768
and a reminder that the socket will be the same, so you don't have to wait for ryzen 2

>>60922791
Which motherboard chipsets will work with Ryzen 2?

>>60922768
Save up money and do not touch it until the day it drops to market or until current ryzen matures/stabilizes to the point that BIOS updates become less frequent. It's still pretty new for both manufacturers and consumers alike.

at the time of purchase the i5 4670 was great, and games ran much smoother, but in 2017 it started showing its' age, especially when editing/recording videos

new cpu: 10/10

Yeah and Ryzen was supposed to be Q4 2016 when we were talking about it a year ago.

This is why you shouldn't wait for new tech unless it's within 5 months of launch.

>>60922768
Im in the same boat with my [email protected]. I think its finally time to hang her up after 6 years of use. Probably going to pair a 1600 with a 1070 gtx for 1440p.

Does anyone know what the sweet spot is for ram speed with the new ryzen cpus?

>>60922898
yeah i was looking at a 1600+1070 as well, but I really would prefer amd for freesync, since 1440p gsync is easily $800 plus

1600+mobo+ram would be $600 plus tax in canuckistan, but i could sell 2500k+mobo+ram for probably $200. rather keep 2500k tho and have a second setup

>>60922898

You can try for it, but chances are you'll get nothing and it'll take a month to get your money back.

>>60923784
you can safely run RAM at 1.4 constantly, specially hynix modules
people say they can take 1.45-1.5 but I think it's too much

Upgraded from an I5 750 with a radeon 7950 to a R7 1700 (running at 3.8ghz) with a GTX 1080TI, feels good man. Had some problem at installation with random bluescreens due to memory.management, but after the win10 creators update those went away..

>>60923894
>not a corelet anymore
Ya I know
That i7 was like 100% on 2 cores most of the time.

I just expected better gaymen performance.

How has ryzen been for emulation? Any hiccups or bugs? How's software rendering in pscx2?

That 2600k aged like fine wine.
We'll see if AMD can deliver.

>>60923941
the zen 2 r7s will probably age better because of the better clockspeeds

Got my corsair 3200lpx running with 1.3v, It was like the memory just wouldn't auto boost the voltage from 1.2 which was what caused it to not boot with those specs, but hit 1.3 and something like 16-16-18-36 and it's fine.

>>60923784
The k5 is notably cheaper that the g5 and you only lose 2 phases and i killer nic afaik. wouldnt say it was a rip off.

the bonus is you get BLCK overclocking for ram and fine tuning. Not that it matter taking my previous statement into consideration.

Also you can only get the g5 in white which is what put me off. Would have got for the asus pro otherwise.

>>60924271
They are both cherry picked. go look at a broad range of games and you see they average out.

Got a 1700 on an AsRock Taichi, LPX ram, RX 480(temp). Chip is 9/10, board is 8/10, cant get the ram past 3066 even though its rated for 3200. No biggie, the sticks are original release ddr4, cheap hynix sticks, didnt expect much.
Mobo has a couple minuses, slowish boot, bioses were wack for a bit, but its good now with the new AGESA. Othherwise power delivery is sublime, every option you could ever need is available in the bios, looks good, Intel nic, good layout, solid.

Upgraded from a Phenom II X4 965

I built 2 computers with 7700k and 1600x
so I can test what was best for my use.
So far the 7700k got me +20-30 fps on all my games, smooth 1440 video playback and multitasking

1600x had less fps, some shuttering with 1440 video playback, multitasking was smooth, 7zip was better.Got a lot of issues with the motherboard, I couldn't overclock my ram.

Sold the 1600x, kept the 7700k. Maybe the Zen 2 would be better?

Got a 1700 and OC's it to 3.6 with the stock cooler for maximum stability, have my ram at 2666 becausw the updates STILL don't support my specific corsair RAM.

Other than that it's BLAZING fast. Use it for rendering and 3D animation and this compared to the campus "designer PCs" well... there's no comparison. Love it so far. And can play games at 90+fps woth my RX570

Recomended 100% and love it so far

I want to upgrade my CPU and Mobo but I already spent money on some guitar gear, and I won't even be back home for 2 semester long enough to justify upgrading. Feelsbadman, ryzen sounds super comfy.

Would anyone happen to have pictures of their ryzen or packaging?

>>60922170
My Phenom 940 died on the week R5 was released. Don't know what to do with all the extra performance but modern power consumption sure feels good during summer.
Motherboards are a disappointment, my ancient AM2 Crosshair had a pretty good sound (especially awesome directional desktop mic), esata with full support for hot-swap and port multipliers (DAS), and integrated lan cable tester with length / fault proximity detection.
Had to get a standalone tester because I actually used that feature often enough, usb mic and SIL sata card, for the total of >$100

Playing breath of the wild on my 1800x with quite stable 30 fps at 4k

former 6700k usr reporting.
Got the 1800x

Feels fucking AMAZING not having any impact, at all while using OBS. Works wonders with video editing, too. I've noticed I can have quite a few more tracks in my playback pane, before it slows down or stutters. (Using a Powerdirector license that my friend owns.)

in games, themselves, I got minor drops in certain games I tried, like Skyrim, and Skullgirls, oddly, but everywhere else, my FPS is basically the same. Honestly not memeing, but I have noticed that it actually is ridiculously smooth, like the shills have been claiming. It feels really nice, even if my max FPS have come down by a few in some games. The AMD benchmark mothership, DOOM, plays fucking incredibly, holy shit. I don't think I've ever played a game that ran this well. Shills or not, fucking ID software deserves a medal.

best cheap mobos for a 1600? got a 1070 coming in and my 8320e will bottleneck it to oblivion?

I bought a r7 1700 in March shortly after launch. First day I overclocked it to 3.9ghz.

Previous build was an AMD 8320 @ 4.2ghz.

Also have a laptop with a i7 6700 and gtx 1060

I kept my graphics card an R9 290x while I wait for Vega.

Noticed a dramatic improvement in gameplay. Looks like I was severely bottlenecking my 290x all these years. Definitely very satisfied with the purchase. Glad I waited so long to upgrade.

Just waiting for Vega so I can really take advantage of my 4k freesync monitor. Right now I have to play most games at 1440p

>>60922170
Bought one when in came out, got the last Asus x370 prime pro at microcenterthe day after.
Upgraded from a 3570k. All in all, I'm really happy with it. Performance in games and everything else is way higher, plus I'm able to do whatever I want without worrying about hitting any kind of cpu ceiling. Streaming, file transfers, vidjj, whatever, all at the same time.

Currently I'm pairing it with 32gb 2133mhz ram that's been overclocked to 2666. Eventually I'll get 3200, but I'm content for now.

From an i5 4440 non k to a r1700

>>60925321
yeah, and it´s going surprisingly well

>>60927231
Depends on your board. for AsRock they reeased like a week ago, and the updates seem to be very specific ram oriented. some brands can reach 3200, while others are stuck at 2666. check the memory QVL of your specific board, and let´s hope that future updates improve compatibility

Voltage is too high. Most ryzen chips can hit 3.6 close to stock voltage. At 1.325 you should be aiming for 3.7-8ghz.

Upgraded from a FX8350 to a Ryzen 1700
Main reason for upgrading was not wanting to deal with the piece of shit MSI 970 gaming firehazard board anymore

Got myself a X370 gaming 5, it had some BIOS issues at first, but now its 100% stable

Performance is great, runs everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat
Using the stock cooler (surprisingly quiet) and it gets up to about 62C under full load in summer after some undervolting and overclocking to 3.2Ghz
I can easily hit 3.6Ghz at about 1.1V, but I really don't need the performance, so I run at 3.2Ghz and 0.984V
Overall 10/10 so far

What the fuck, that sounds like a really good chip. You should invest in an aftermarket cooler somewhere down the line and push it a little higher. You could probably hit 4.0 EZ with something like a Dark Rock.

>>60929379
Nope, costs just $999
If we scale down to the eight-core 7820X, that's just $589
How much is the Ryzen 7 1800X again?
$499?

>>60929450
What about the 8 core R7 1700, you dishonest shill?

>>60929594

299.99.

>>60929202
Now imagine late 2018 when AMD moves to 7nm. 20W idle and 100W load.

>>60923941
Just like Phenom II 1055T amirite

poor overclocker

>>60922423
from what i've read you can get a stable 3.9ghz overclock at 1.362 (on my motherboard). The difference i n voltage between 3.9 and 4.0 seems to be 1.362 for 3.9 and 1.48 for 4.0 stable. I had mine running at 3.9 @ 1.362 for a bit but decided it was better to just use the asus optimized preset on my motherboard which automatically overclocked to 3.85ghz

i have much better temps this way because it uses much more variable voltage. i probably wont attempt a 4.0 overclock again until i start feeling any performance shortage from my 1800x. These voltages seems to apply for both the 1700x and 1800x.

my only gripe with ryzen so far is memory compatibility. I have a 3200 corsair vengenace hynix chip but only able to get it to boot at 2933mhz.

the thing about ryzen is, it will boot at 4.0/4.1 ghz no problem with low voltages. once you running something that utilizes the multithreading across all cores the system will crash. you may think your 4.0ghz overclock is stable using prime95 etc and gaming will also be fine. Run something like cinebench and halfway through the system will shut down. Turning off SMT will improve your stability and improve temps but also significanly reduce benchmark performance so that's up to you. my cinebench score went from ~1650 to ~1200 by turning SMT off. but the cpu ran about 10 degrees cooler as well. Supposedly some games run better with SMT off since it keeps processes on the same cores. A higher base overclock with SMT off may be the way to go for gamers for the short term. once games utilize multithreading that may change though.

been really happy with my 1800x. a solid 9 / 10. just wish memory was more conformed and stable. i honestly don't care being limited to a max of 3200, it just be nice if i could reach 3200 100%. i've seen people struggle to get 2666mhz AND 2400mhz and those are offically supported. granted far less compared to the hard struggle for 3200. just a handful i've seen but still, supported ones should work without question at least.

It's complete shit. Almost always below 60 fps with 1080 on new games with high settings

I could easily stay above 100 fps with the same card on 6700k

Bought the 1600X for my 2nd PC, previous was running a 1090T that I borrowed from a friend, which was bottlenecking my RX 480 pretty hard.

My only regret is that it didn't come out last year so I could have gone for it instead of the 6700K that I have on my main PC, even though the 6700K is good too.

It was a long wait from Phenom II and FX, but it was worth it.

>once games utilize multithreading that may change though

How many years have we been believing that devs will actually do this though?

Since Core 2 Quad?

Now it's 2017 and 8 core consoles have been a thing yet these new games still only use 2 to 4 cores.

>>60931420
he state of game development wasnt really the point of my post. nothing we can reallyl do about that

just saying the disabling SMT will probably give more stable base overclocks at lower voltages but reduce benchmark scores. this is because the CPU is not actually running at full load with this off.

to me a stable overclock is keeping the CPU from causing a system crash while running at 100% load.

I see plently of people claim that they have a stable 4.0ghz overclock @ 1.36 volts or lower. It is only a matter of time before they run into a system crash. Ryzen performs normal tasks and gaming with this clock and voltage combo because it is not being utilized at 100% load.

i find cinebench to be the best test of a ryzen cpu stability because it makes the chip beg for mercy and fully utillizes multi-threading across all cores. however, for most this is not a real world scenario. It may be "stable" for you but "technically" if it doesnt pass cinebench then it isnt a real stable overclock.

>>60931934

I understood all that.

Got any benchmarks where SMT gives an advantage in gaming by the way? And do you believe SMT is advantageous in emulation?

>>60931998
no clue about emulation but here is jut one of many example of how in "some games" smt off give a slight performance boost

doesnt seem like there is any performance loss in turning it off for games. Not that i've seen anyways. benchmarks that ultilize all cores will have a significant score decrease. but those are just benchmarks so who cares

>>60923935
>I just expected better gaymen performance.
Well, that's what the 7700K is for.
How hard is it to research before you purchase?

>>60929419
Different 1700 here, got an nh-d15 sitting around, planned on contacting them to get the free mounting parts for am4, but couldn't be assed because there's really no reason to do so. Why overclock and shorten lifetime if it works so good?

>>60926645
Damn. So not that good yet.

>>60934648
you cant actually play breath of the wild at higher than 30fps from what i understand

supposedly the game timings and such is linked to the fps so it fucks with the game if you go above 30. so putting it at 60 would cause the game to do things twice as fast

>>60922170
i5 2500k to 1600X

I love it, there's the first generation quirks that are annoying like having to wait for a new BIOS update so I can finally run 3200mhz RAM. But even at my current settings I notice a huge improvement over Sandy Bridge and the extra cores, threads, and SMT are helpful in ways I never noticed without them.

I sold my i5 6600k for an R5 1600X. Less gaming performance, the 6600k was insane in single-threaded shit, but I like virtual machines and sending 3 cores to the VM was disappointing. A 6700k/7700K would have been the obvious upgrade, but still, that's only 3 cores 6 threads max. My only options were Broadwell-E or Ryzen, and Ryzen was a lot cheaper. I like the amount of cores, and am generally satisifed. Some of my issues:
>shit at overclocking, can only get 4.0GHz which kinda sucks since XFR can boost to 4.1GHz if I left it at stock. Tried for 4.1 but can't get there stable even at 1.5v.
>Memory speeds are still fucked harder to overclock than Intel. My 6600k+Gigabyte board had no issues with my CL15 2666MHz RAM, but my AM4 Gigabyte board shits itself. Have to run at 1.35v on DRAM and change timings to CL16 to even boot.
>Virtualization issues on QEMU, they fixed IOMMU groupings at least but there are still bugs with the nested paging tables kernel option
>minor complaint, but the default AM4 backplate on my board is absolute shit.
Other than that it's fine.

>>60922328
>>60923784

I'm >>60935006, the K5 was what I got, am extremely dissatisfied with the board as well. Shit BIOS, shit memory support, shit overclocking (offsets only + no LLC)m shit VRMs, shit backplate, lack of updates, etc. Even has less features than my Intel Gigabyte board which was a little cheaper, like no true 7.1 audio. Only has 5.1+optical. Feel jewed, if they can't fix the BIOS completely I'm buying a new mobo when the new Ryzen refresh comes out next year.

>what was your previous CPU/build
stock i5 3570
>how would you rate your satisfaction with the purchase?
pretty satisfied.
It does run a lot of games better and the multitasking is pretty good but I feel like applications and games will utilize it better in the future.
Still, for right now I'm happy.

is VM performance adequate? currently have an i5 4690k and wondering if Ryzen is worth

>>60936268
It's ok if you can work around the issues. Expect more bugs than with Intel. The biggest issue people are having right now is with nested paging tables, a KVM-related module, basically when left on Windows performance is fine but 3d games run terribly for some reason, GPU utilization is all over the place. You can turn it off, but Windows runs like shit due to CPU stutters and it's likely QEMU will be locked to sending a single core. Some people have fixed this by disabling SMEP in the config file or emulating a Penryn CPU. Also emulating Penryn is kinda necessary anyway to get hyperthreading, the last I checked libvirt doesn't recognize Ryzen and will emulate an older Opteron instead, which doesn't have hyperthreading. This may or may not cause issues, depending on what you're doing. (It pretends your virtual threads are real cores) Still doesn't fix 100% of the stuttering, although games are pretty much playable. So it's workable, but don't expect Intel performance in VMs yet though.

>>60922893
It's still on sale since yesterday on Newegg.

>>60922898
Ryzen seems to be a throwback to the good ole days off p2-p3.
It only likes Samsung memory chips and will run others at lower speed. There's a thread somewhere on Reddit that tells which RAM is good for it.

>>60928233
Woah another $400 gets me a 10% or less performance boost?

is that linus? what's he doing there? is he a meme now?

100% satisfied with my Ryzen build. Former Phenom II hold out, been using AMD since thunderbird. Ryzen was announced when I was looking at an i5 build, so I waited, and I'm glad I did.

>>60936509
Seriously though, Naples is looking pretty good. Let alone, when Starship hits, I'm going to flip my shit.

>>60934333
Overclocking within safe limits doesn't shorten cpu lifespan, where do you people come up with this shit.

So what could be the safe OC for Ryzen 7 1700 using the stock cooler? Beginner here.

I replaced my Ryzen 1700X for the Intel i7 7700k, was experiencing horrible compatibility issues with the drivers and software I was trying to install. Not saying it's bad, just not usable for me.

>>60936268
VM's always run better on Intel. System Emulation is CPU intensive and favors high core clocks over multi-thread performance.

waste of money, now I'm stuck with a terrible platform, sata speeds are worse than on a 2012 laptop.

Guys stop. I don't wanna get Ryzen! I'm waiting for Ryzen 2!
