There is some evidence that recent games are scaling better with more threads, according to a few tests I've read on German websites. It's possible they simply get better at running multithreaded in general, no idea how much is related to consoles. No (good) mini-ITX Ryzen boards for another few months is a huge bummer, tho

This X300 doesn't seem very interesting (PCI-E lanes, USB support, SATA ports - I know Ryzen brings a few of its own but still) and having it delay ITX boards makes it worse  I remember having great fun with awful VIA chipsets because those were the only chipsets I could get for some early AthlonXP builds

exquisite tea posted:I was watching some dude's video about installing a Ryzen 1600 and he recommended downloading the chipset drivers from AMD's own website to get the Ryzen-specific "balanced" power setting for Win10. He even said that it gave a performance advantage over simply setting the CPU to work in performance mode. Is that the conventional wisdom, and does that still hold true for the 2700/x series? Ryzen CPUs had lower performance on Windows 10 originally because the default power plans were parking cores (and saving power) too much, so changing the power plan (or installing the AMD-modified balanced one) fixed this. However, Microsoft eventually changed this in a Windows 10 (feature?) update so it shouldn't be necessary just for the power plan/core parking issue anymore.

The 2700X has an offset of 10°C applied to temperature reporting by default, so depending on what software you're using (some are aware of the offset and may display the corrected actual temperature), it could be 60-65°C instead. The AMD website says "Max Temps: 85°C" so even 70-75 is completely safe and the CPU should be able to run that 24/7. The Wraith Prism is good to run maximum "boost" clocks but it's going to be slightly hotter/louder than a bigger third party cooler would.

Technically it would be. But apparently the B450 boards aren't built (although I'm sure that's being way overblown again) as well as the good X470 ones. Since they also don't save you much or any money, I'd go with the X470.

Does Ryzen Master not have options to launch on startup and apply profiles automatically? The Gigabyte B450I Aorus Pro Wifi I bought for some SFF PC has the worst BIOS I've ever seen and won't even let me change 99% of the CPU's settings (I can mess with RAM timings and that's basically it) and I can work around that with Ryzen Master. Or could, if I didn't have to manually launch the program and apply profiles every single time

Craptacular! posted:Having seen reviews of that motherboard being OCed, I think the problem with the BIOS might be the user. You either need to read better, or you don’t have the board you think you do. It should be a good OCer, though with a Gigabyte board you want to be conservative with voltage because voltage equipment reveals it delivers more power than the software reports, not less like other manufacturers. I saw the reviews too, which is why I bought it, but no, it's the right board and all the fields I'd expect to edit for overclocking (rather: underclocking) refuse to be changed (some are straight greyed-out but apparently they do lock a handful of OC options on B450 boards). Since Ryzen Master is no real help (I mean, it helps and has great settings but I'm not manually picking and applying a profile every time I launch the computer) I'll just go through all the options again because it's probably hidden behind one option in some sub menu.

Turns out some options can only be changed with the +/- keys, which I didn't even try yesterday since it only applies to very few options and I was navigating the UEFI with my mouse. Most stuff (and everything in AsRock and Asus UEFIs I used for the past ~decade) can be clicked on or toggled through with enter, but most (but not all) of the Gigabyte's OC settings don't do anything if you do either of those. Navigating all voltage increments etc. like that is a pain but at least it works

The problem isn't AMD making the right parts, it's the OEMs putting the AMD parts into devices worth buying. Instead, they've mostly been using the lowest cost parts, cut down everything and give you single channel RAM. So, "AMD doesn't sell "

Palladium posted:Before CPUs were market segmented by cores, the #1 bad pick was buying flagship or near flagship clocked CPUs, #2 was overly expensive blinged out mobos, and #3 was buying blinged out GPUs that were priced similarly to a basic higher tiered GPU. It's not a bad pick to pay disproportionally more for minimal gains if you actually want or need those gains (buying the Pentium II 300 instead of 233 for a few % of performance, buying the gamer mainboard with the dumb bling because it has better on board sound or more SATA ports, buying the higher tier/slower GPU for its game bundle or the great cooler that stays cool and quiet vs. the base model/faster GPU that renders more pixels/second while sounding like a jet engine). Obviously specific products exist(ed) that never dropped out of the top category (super expensive gamer grade video cards that were just as fast/loud/hot as the base models, gamer mainboards that used the same components as cheaper ones, except for the badly designed heatsink that doesn't do anything). So it's specific products rather than entire categories being bad picks.

Last time I checked those tiny fans don't really move a lot of air (especially at low RPM, where you'd want them so they're quiet) so fitting a Noctua will run quieter, but if it has to spin up to 3000 or even 5000 rpm to actually do anything they're still going to be audible.

I imagine you're fun to play football against, what with all the goal post moving. You're, once again, coming into a SHSC thread trying to dump sick burns on AMD (because you spent too much time on r/AMD again or what do I know, but it's apparently pathological) and can't handle that you're being called out for claiming Nvidia is honest about what you buy, which has not been true for a while. So now you're trying whataboutism by saying their misleading labeling of products is not as bad as AMD's  E: Also, BIOS-unlocking etc. is not "lootboxing", you are ridiculous. Would you feel better if they had put hard locks on those products? orcane fucked around with this message at 12:15 on May 17, 2019 |

It probably got folded under the generic Ryzen umbrella in the presentation to not take up unnecessary space in the presentation. I mean, the proper name is Ryzen Threadripper, not just Threadripper. If they really launch 16 core consumer parts with Ryzen 3000 there's not a whole lot of room left for Threadripper that couldn't be covered with the highest tier of Ryzen or a lower tier Epyc.

Plenty of B450 mainboards have VRMs that are perfectly up to the task of powering the Ryzen 2000 and 3000 CPUs up to 8 cores, are we comparing Buildzoid "not worth it unless it has 20 phases and can manually OC a 16 core CPU to 5 GHz" videos again?

It was added to address performance issues in Windows 10, due to aggressively parking cores of first generation Ryzen CPUs, which Microsoft eventually fixed. Ryzen Balanced is still supposed to handle the cores more "optimally" or whatever you want to call it (which is why they still install it with the chipset driver). People always see the 90% number in their power plan and freak out about monitoring software telling them how hot/fast their CPU runs while idle, but Ryzen Balanced is actually supposed to be using the cores' lowest power states, it's just that polling the cores tends to wake them up from sleep constantly. Still, unless you have a specific use case that profits from the last 1% or w/e performance, you can use Windows' power plan instead of AMD's.

The default setting is intended to be "CPU manages putting cores to sleep when nothing is happening via fine-grained voltage control", it's absolutely supposed to save power while idling, this just doesn't seem to work in all configurations (the Windows method always works because it's more blunt in how it tries to safe power).

The 3950X TDP isn't that much higher than that of the 2700X the 400-series mainboards were made for, so unless you're super serious about overclocking for the last 2% of performance for another 20% of power/heat (numbers made up but OC is even less useful now than on the previous Ryzens) I don't see why people keep assuming B450/X470 are going to explode running the new 16-core part. People always quote Buildzoid or whatever and get hysterical about VRMs but if you're just running your CPU at stock settings (ie. without PBO or other auto-OC options) even midrange boards are usually fine.

The other cheap customs (eg. Asus TUF, MSI Evoke and Mech, the XFX cards) still try to waste another 20+ W chasing measurable but unnoticeable performance gains with cut-down coolers, so they just get hotter or louder for no good reason. Personally I'd get either basic or high-end Sapphire or Powercolor cards, because all the other cards don't do really anything better, and still cost as much or more.
