Lockback posted:Any benchmarks up comparing the R5 to an i7 7700k? It looks like the R5 blows the i5 out of the water overall, but I live near a Microcenter so the total cost between an R5 and an i7 setup is like $40. Microcenter has good pricing on the R5s also though, I see an R5-1600 for $170 at my local Microcenter as part of a mobo bundle. poo poo, why mess with any of that when you can get an R7-1700X + mobo for $380 total? I guess the answer is because you can get a 1600 + mobo for $250 pretax total! They're even more aggressive on R5 pricing than I thought.

eames posted:AMD CPU and Platfrom Discussion: I'm trying to force myself to use the Ryzen To be fair, all of my workflow and stuff is on my i7 6700k System with an nVME Samsung 960 Pro drive. It's a pain to reinstall Adobe, frameworks, and all of that jazz. It's all been installed though so it's been peachy.

Warning, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz is unstable on my Gigabyte AB360M Gaming 3 (MicroATX) Running it at 3200, it boots but tends to make programs crash when under extreme load. You can game on it, but once you start encoding video it starts to bug out. I'll have to google a way to manually set the speed to match the 3000 MHz, which I heard runs stable.

SwissArmyDruid posted:The CPU never clocks down, or is it the same thing with Windows and the high-performance power profile and the CPU is better off managing its own resources? No it isn't related to the Windows power profile. Ryzen systems with unRAID crash within less than 24 hours unless that particular C-State related BIOS option is enabled*. The "workaround" forces the CPU into State C0 which disables all power saving features. All cores run at full frequency and Vcore while idle but at least it is stable. You can find a more detailed report in the unRAID Ryzen thread on their forums, the whole thing should be resolved with a future unraid/kernel update but this is exactly the kind of bug I don't want to bother with. * some boards don't have the option, those are doomed to crash every few hours.  #ZobarStyl posted:I really want to move my unraid box from its 8370E to a Ryzen, but drat they need to make it not huff juice at idle. If I could get lower idle draw and GPU passthrough it'd be an easy choice.  The problem is that Ryzen boxes with working C-States still seem to idle around 60-70W but I'm not sure if that's just the price of 8C/16T or the platform isn't optimized yet. My 4 core Haswell Xeon with 16GB and a 1060 only pulls 35W when all drives are spun down. eames fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Stanley Pain posted:Which CPU and Mobo? The Asus Crosshair 6 Hero is the only motherboard I've seen tested with that memory kit, but I'm sure there are other options. If you're looking for the best overall CPU for the money it would be the R7 1700 since most of them can be overclocked to around 4GHz, eliminating the need for one of the more expensive CPUs. Obsurveyor posted:16GB for $174 is a bummer though. Yeah, that does suck. Also, I've only seen 16GB kits of 3200MHz so far. Regrettable fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Apr 12, 2017 |

I've got a fairly significant portion of what I am gonna put in the new OP (Jesus Christ I'm sorry it's been this long, I've just been busy and it's been a slow process to have things settle down). I'd love some thoughts on what else to include, outside of some stuff about the future (Raven Ridge and Snowy Owl, maybe a mention of Pinnacle Ridge?). https://pastebin.com/raw/eeZKLZVq

Might want to mention something about scaling well with ram speed, and then the ram fiasco.

You should be very careful about recommending that people mess with the Ryzen BCLK; at least one person who seems to know his poo poo recommends against doing so outside of extreme OC situations because it starts affecting other critical speeds in the system like the PCIe bus. quote:Overclocking the base clock (BCLK) on AM4 platform is possible, however generally not recommended. This is due to its frequency relations with other interfaces, such as the PCIe. Unlike with Intel's more recent CPUs, there is no asynchronous mode (straps / gears) available, which would allow stepping down the PCIe frequency at certain intervals. The PCIe frequency relation is fixed and therefore it increases at the same rate with the BCLK. Gen. 3 operation can generally be sustained up to ~107MHz frequency and higher speeds will usually require forcing the links to either Gen. 2 or to Gen. 1 modes. https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ryzen-strictly-technical.2500572/

My hot take: get better performance out of your peripherals with a mild BCLK overclock.

I would have to double check the tower heights vs your case, but the typical recommendations <$50 I see are the CM Hyper 212+, Cryorig H7, and Thermalright True Spirit 140 Direct. The last one is probably the most likely to have problems fitting and you'll have to deal with the usual HDT fun, but its performance and noise is on-par with the NH-U12S. I have not checked which of these have AM4 mounting available. If your case restriction basically requires type that has the fan blowing towards the motherboard (e.g. NH-L12), I don't know a whole lot about those. kirtar fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Apr 13, 2017 |
