I like gaming so i dont have one

It's great, it's significantly improved my compile times and it no longer sounds like there's a jet turbine in the room (I came from a 220W FX-9590). NVMe support's nice, the speed improvement isn't astounding but it is noticeable, especially on Windows.

Great upgrade from my 2500K to 1700, set for the next 4-5 years :)

>muh pc gayms!!!

Stay virgin based virgin bro

Ryzen is a monster at productivity tasks. I got a 1700 + ab350 mobo for $400.

Also the CPU-Z sucks. Look at my "voltage", for an example. it's 1.1v

same here.
expecting to do a CPU+RAM upgrade at the end of AM4's life cycle and be good for up to a decade in total.

Shiz, any other programs to monitor the cpu?
I too got a 1700 +AB350m for about $415

Very happy with my purchase

Go to then, this place isn't for you.

Stay virgin based virgin bro

It's honestly changed my life. I didn't even know computers could do half the shit I do now that I'm not dragging swamp ass with 4 cores. I've learned more advances program because IDE responsiveness is up, compile times are way way down. Had my first contribution accepted into the Linux Kernel in fact. Video editing so like using paint now, subs on my YouTube channel keep going up thanks to better waiting and the move to 4K. The ability to now use a many VMs as I need is bonkers as well, my cross platform app development is speeded up tenfold. I have many revenue streams going full throttle all thank yo my decision to finally get a real computer this go. Life us changing, don't be in the slow lane fellow anons.

Fucking this. Sup Forums is for counter-culture nerds who want to row row fight da powah by purchasing overpriced, inefficient budget hardware and have the time to complicate their lives by using things like Linux for desktop.

If you want things that work well and typically use common sense, get the fuck off Sup Forums immediately and get back to reggit or something.

I like it so far, got a 1600 running stock and wraith cooler and I barely go over 50C during my usual workload. I might overclock it and switch to an AIO later on though, get it running even quieter than now.

I'm not a beta tester for broken platform and rushed cpus.

its pretty good

1700 is probably the best purchase i've ever done. compile times are rocking. huge speedup in IDEs. multiple VMs literally work perfectly

I've found speccy doesn't want to list my CPU temps despite BIOS listing it just fine, hell it doesn't even want to list the actual name either just says 14nm AMD

I got a R7 1700 about a week ago
Great CPU. Mine does 4ghz @ 1.365v.
Much faster than the 6700k it replaced in workstation task and better 1% amd .1% lows in games.

Exactly. This Ryzen launch has been a shitshow with OCing RAM, shitty mobos, and so on.

I'll probably upgrade my 6700k to Ryzen 3 or Intel's equivalent if it is better for my tasks.

It's worth jumping from FX 8320 to a R7 or a R5? ga-78lmt-usb3 is not compatible with Ryzen, right?

Ab350m + 1600x here. Very happy with my purchase.

First we get the Ryzen.
The we make the money.
Then we get the chicks.

>what are bios updates?
I can oc my ram to 3200mhz now thanks to UPDATING, which no one seems to do aka ranware bullshit.

You will need a AM4 motherboard and DDR4 ram to got to Ryzen. The R5 1600 would be a big upgrade. OCs nicely to. Just be certain to get a b350 or x370 board if you want to OC.

better get the 1700X instead if you want the magic 4.0ghz, multiple reports of the 1700 not making the magic 4.0ghz mark.

only for 16gb
32/64gb support is still shit.

My 1500X is working out nicely.

I have 32gb

>this is the power of Adobe products in 2017

why spread misinformation like that?

Same here, got a 1700 and AB350 and was wondering why Speccy didn't read CPU temps

1700 was a massive upgrade over my 6300. used to get a lot of hitching and halting in games and windows and such, now no more.

welcome to the stutter-free side

I heard that Windows 7 is not supported on this platform. Is this a case of "it'll work despite the manufacturer saying otherwise" or "no, seriously don't buy ryzen with windows 7"?

>expecting to do a CPU+RAM upgrade at the end of AM4's life cycle and be good for up to a decade in total.
I'm banking on this too. I got a mobo a bit more expensive than I really needed (Taichi) hoping that the BIOS updates for the new CPUs won't fuck us up.

I had a different experience, as soon as I got my 1700 games started stuttering like shit, until I disabled CPU parking. Everything perfect after that

Loving my 1700X. Been encoding video like I'm being paid to. I have an almost 3TB collection of blurays and DVDs and my old i7 would take close to 5 hours to encode a single 1080p rip with the super HQ preset in handbrake. Now I'm getting that same encode done in 2 hours or less. All while also getting less heat output and noise. (89C under encoding load with i7, 61C under encoding load with 1700X. Using same cooler, fan, and inside same case)

It might install on the hardware via some backdoor methods, but there is a strong chance drivers are going to be acting up all the time.

ryzen 1700 owner here, it will satisfy all your fetishes

Anyone on a 1600 or 1600X overclocked can show me how it does on the CPU-Z test?

I have an Asrock ab350 Gaming K4 they update their bios very often. their newest one is very stable

>support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/am4-chipset-driver.aspx
>Supports Windows 10/8.1/7 (32 & 64-bit)
AMD released official ryzen drivers for 7.

So it's neither of those.

>l I disabled CPU parking.

well you should be aware by now that latest chipset drivers installs and defaults a new power setting called Ryzen BalancedTM in your power options by default which fixes this as well

cpu-z tests aren't a good measurment in my opinion.

i tend to do a stress test for ours on a 3,7ghz overclock for 30 minutes but when i started Prey which has good core utilisation, the game crashed multiple times until i set it back to default

i didn't get stutter even with parking enabled so idk

If that's the case how comes stuttering stopped as soon as I disabled parking?

because you didn't install the latest chipset and just put the powerplan manually to high performance maybe

I have a 1600 on win 7 and it is a beauty.

I'm not talking about stress testing. I just want a reference to know how single threaded performance will change from my i5-3570K @ 4.5Ghz to my new 1600X @ 4.0Ghz

Enjoy you s-s-s-stutterfest

Sounds like it's the motherboard

considering i was using a xeon 1231v3 which has almost same ipc, i'd say that your ipc is improved by 10% on the ryzen and you have 8 additional virtual cores and less stuttering in games as well due to the architectural behaviour of instructions

I wish they were selling the 1700 without a fucking fan

1500x is serving me pretty well

why would you think that? Speccy hasn't been updated since they added Kaby Lake support last year, of course it wouldn't show Ryzen properly.

but the fan is what makes it great

fpbp

Ryzen is shit, I'm not dumb enough to buy one

My whole Ryzen build is waiting there in a corner for the free Cryorig AM4 upgrade kit.

It's awesome that you're giving the kits for free but hurry the fuck up please!!

but I don't want one

yeah im pretty surprised as to how good it is

Should I get a rizen
I've been looking into upgrading since I'm still using a first gen bulldozer

>all this implying

Stay mad virgin bro

If you have the money and use case, sure. What do you do with your PC that youre thinking of upgrading? The original bulldozer series was complete garbage. But if all you're doing is shit posting and watching Chinese cartoons, it's plenty. My little sister is still using the fx-4100 and GT210 build I cobbled together without issue. All she does is play Minecraft, social media, and use chrome for Netflix on Linux.

The fact that you have to OC your RAM the biggest pain in the ass (unless you are using an XMP profile) is something I don't want to deal with.

>a few clicks is a pain in the ass

Intel doesn't support 3200MHz either though.

you mean just like intel? or do you run 1333mhz ddr3/2133mhz ddr4 on your system?

>The fact that you have to OC your RAM
Why do so many autist keep saying this?
There is 0 need to OC the RAM, it's a plus that is available to you
The R5 1600 & R7 1700 still shit on anything intel with 2133MHz RAM, but you can shit on it even more with higher frequency ram

>Why do so many autist keep saying this?
>MUH GAMES

Times are changing, faster ram speeds makes their games run faster.

That's funny but really is PyCharm/whatever JetBrains IDE working snappier with moar cores?

>Times are changing
and gamer retards are finally beginning to get a surface level understanding of their hardware and the fact that they actually have to overclock their ram to get the rated speeds.

i don't even want to imagine the number that bought 3200mhz ddr4 and still have it running at 2133 because they didnt enable the xmp profile

Had this experience with a friend, finally convinced him to just change the settings in the BIOS. Took some convincing that he was losing a lot of bite by running at standard speed.

Fuck those DDR4 prices, though.

>Fuck those DDR4 prices, though.
tfw a kit i bought for $180 during black friday is now $260

>So, how are you liking your Ryzen CPU, Sup Forums?
Best shit
10/10

>tfw found really good deal for a 3600mhz 16gb kit for 140 but not telling Sup Forums where it is because I don't want it to run out of stock before I can buy it

>cpu-z tests aren't a good measurment in my opinion.
The stress test is a quick way to see if its even close to being stable, however.

not in my case then..

The stock AM3 cooler with heatpipes will work if you have one.

/r/amd is doing exchanges so you don't have to wait as long

who here is genuinely happy that AMD got their shit together?
I once abandoned the AMD ship after Athlon 64, then Phenom II in favor of Ivy Bridge, but I really hope Ryzen will put some fear in intel, even though I don't plan on upgrading any time soon.

Me. I was with AMD since phenom 2 days. Fell for the faildozer hype. Then got myself a piledriver based PC. Overclocking the piss out of those chips made them OK. Ended up going with Intel after my motherboard gave up. Sold off my Intel setup as soon as I saw Ryzen wasn't shit.

>Fear into Intel
Already done as far as mainstream market. Why do you think that as soon as Ryzen was making 8+ threads the norm for sub $350, Intel announced their coffee lake/ skylake-e will have 6 threads being the norm? Naples for servers will only make things worse. Only thing I can see Intel doing is keeping a vice grip on OEMs via bribes.

I am. Not planning on buying one (have a LGA1366 Xeon in my X58). But I'm glad that they're finally putting out something competitive. Just helped a friend put together a new B350 & 1600X system and he's thrilled with it.

I am. I like to have any alternative to having a dick in my anus. I don't really need an upgrade now so I'll wait until DDR4 becomes cheaper.

I'm happy not because I'm planning to get one just yet (staying with my 2500k for the time being as it has yet to fail my demands) but competition is healthy to foster further advancements.

I'll take -5 average fps in exchange for +20 minimum fps, thanks

anyone buying intel right now, gaming or not, is an idiot tbqh

Microsoft tried to scare people by telling them they wouldn't be able to run win7 on new cpu's

microsoft lied
Microsoft lied because they want people to switch to win10 and scaring them off win7 is one of the tactics they chose to use to that end

intel shills will furthermore try to claim ryzen won't work on win7 to scare win7 users away from ryzen.

in reality AMD has official driver support for win7 and you aren't going to run into any problems, and even before AMD had official drivers, motherboard manufacturers already had unofficial drivers

oh no microsoft want to encourage people to upgrade to a modern browser and not stay on an old, ugly, slow/bloated, vulnerable pile of shit that was always just a glorified vista service pack.

>browser
os*

extremely happy with my r7 1700X
i haven't even needed to do the bios updates or tweak my ram latencys
>feelsgoodman

cpu-z changed their benchmark recently because ryzen was doing too good
now ryzen is properly behind intel again

don't use cpu-z as a benchmark, they're garbage, so is the userbenchmarks benchmark, so is passmark

The best benchmark you're going to get (e.g. nvidia/intel aren't fucking it up with bribe money) is something you legitimately already do or use, and then compare that specific software performance between the two. Don't use synthetic benchmarks. If AMD ever does well in a synthetic benchmark it's only a short time before it gets "fixed" so intel's in the lead again.

I've been waiting(tm) for Whitehaven/Threadripper HEDT so I can just spin off a 4 or 6 core VM for gaming and keep everything else chugging along in a non-botnet environment.

It'll take a miracle for even 12c SL-X to compete, and I don't think they'll be able to charge $1700+ for their top end chip this time.

your an idiot t b h

(You)

I'm talking about the Cryorig H7.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. But... exchanges for what?

You think Prime95 is a good test?

I can't really quantify stuff like opening an IDE or compiling my code, since it changes all the time.

reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6b0ru2/some_guy_sent_me_an_am4_bracket_free_of_charge/

I don't think any synthetic benchmarks are worth jack shit

prime95 is for stress testing an overclock and nothing else as far as I'm concerned

I don't get it... he got the H7 bracket from a dude and is forwarding it to someone else? What was the purpose of him getting the bracket in the first place?

because they take too long to ship

..holy fuck. brb getting Ryzen.

I'm thinking about getting a 1600 for my Plex server and media center.

I might even throw in an RX480 for some light vidya
