I'm late to the Ryzen party, but this is the stop gap upgrade chip. I'm waiting for the 3k series ryzen which, for me, will be the 8 core and the one lasting the next 8 years+. In the meantime, I thought I'd see what I can do with this.

 

apparently [email protected] vCore is the sweet spot.1.3625 seems to work well @ 4.0 on cinebench. I'll try to adjust down a little bit towards that once I'm guaranteed stability.

 

Getting 4.1 is lots more voltage, takes 1.425, and [email protected] freezes cinebench. So if i want 4.1 for a daily oc I would have to fry it.

 

So I guess I sort of win a lottery here. I'll play with the memory timings and see if i can run 3466@3200 timings with the samsung b-die i have. That might really fine tune things.

 

Temps? Using the Corsair H115i platinum RGB pro thing, the one with colors over performance, and see 70c at about 60% fans. If I go 100%, it's loud and only 2-3 deg better.

Glad you got some good results. Anything is better then running at stuck at stock. I wonder, what kind of performance increase in benches are you looking at in percentage? 

 

Also if you are looking for better results going to a triple radiator setup or going full custom will provide some improvement with a bit less noise.

something over 15% I think is what I saw. All my notes kinda got thrown out. Were I to do it again I might have opted for the 2600G and run the 1070 through the APU and out the onboard HDMI to attach freesync to the output. I would have had a decent OC as well on that to not quite what I have now but close enough to accomplish the upgrade goal. I'm curious to see what APU ryzen 3 chips will be like.

We all are looking forward to ryzen 3. AMD has been swinging it pretty hard lately. 

I am just curious if Intel is gonna get the CPU shortage over with and start coming out with a newer arc here soon. 

 

And their GPU rumors.... I hope come true.
