Post your experiences with the Ryzen platform. How much did you save? How did your build turn out? How's your Ryzen running since you bought it?
ITT we hail the return of the competitive CPU market and a win for consumers. Remember to ignore Intelshills who want fellow Jow Forumsentoomen to suffer from a monopoly because they are fanboyz.
hello i am from new delhi and amd ryzen very good cpu, intel bad.
hynix afr tight timings
amd ryzen very good indeed greetings from mumbai
>How much did you save?
all of it because if i'm building a cheap pc then i need some cheap ram
I like my 1600X. Bought it half a year ago, works great.

Shills here
>How much did you save?
Not as much as I'd hoped. Once I stacked it with a Vega 64, 3.6GHz RAM and a stupid show-off gaymer motherboard, so I only saved about 15% over an identically-performing Intel build.
>How did your build turn out?
Pretty good. Solid (CM Stormtrooper case) and quiet, runs cool unless I fire up Ark, Valley benchmark and Prime95 simultaneously. All the RGB lighting turned out less "battlestation" and more "gay pride parade" than I would have liked, though.
>How's your Ryzen running since you bought it?
Eats everything I throw at it, stupid-high RAM clocks gave me about 9% more processor go than my mom's identical 2600. BIOS is a bitch though: no support for marking SATA ports hot-swappable, so my drive bay and eSATA ports are hot-add only.
Ryzen 5 2500U support on Linux is terrible.
I yank shit from SATA and plug in new drives all the time, afaik SATA was fucking designed to be hot swappable.
>Ryzen 5 2500U support on Linux is terrible.
You know it always takes them a while to catch up, especially when it comes to mobile CPUs and GPUs.
How long does it take, usually?
Honestly they should have the support already rolled into Linux before retail release.
That's how Intel and Nvidia do it. Its why AMD has that no drivers meme, the support has never, ever, been good.
Usually they catch up a year after the new APU hits so...sometime in 2019.
Does anybody asked YOU, dumb attention whoring tripfag? NO
SO FUCK
OFF
Built my brother a 1600 build: msi x370 carbon, 3600 gskill TZRX ram, mx500 1TB, gtx 1080, Meshify C. It's nice as fuck and runs like an olympian. I'm currently running an i5 6600k/gtx 1060 build which is ok, but in 2019 I'm building zen 3xxx build with rtx or navi.
Being this mad that someone pointed out the obvious.
>Ryzen 5 2500U support on Linux is terrible.
How can you be on Jow Forums and not realize that AMD always takes a while to produce good Linux drivers?
Hello from Kolkata darlings.
AMD hardware is the most sensible choice.
>Usually they catch up a year after the new APU hits so...sometime in 2019.
This. My AMD netbook was not Linux ready until about that time. Now it works beautifully with Xubuntu.

I got an 8 core for cheaper than a quad core a year and a half ago. Hard to beat that.
R7 1700 here w/ 32GB, using it as a VM host running ESXi running 24/7 for 11 months now, placed in a tiny ITX case
very quiet w/ stock cooler, no issues with performance, low power consumption, would buy again/10
Ryzen makes corelets really anally devastated, especially intards
I love AMD as much as the next guy here but isn't a Ryzen love thread retarded?
Our office just bought over 580 2990wx systems for our render farm. and it's great.
Intel processors have 0 value, they're like dirt compared to platinum value AMD processors.
Intel is the poor man's transistor fab. Nobody who respects himself would buy Intel products.
Hey rabbi... Whatcha doin?
>2 sticks
Real pros OC with 4 sticks
probly getting a 2700x next cpu, or waiting for 7nm things. intel looks like ass for the next few years.
Just how exotic is that cooling? Don't really see any Zen+ hitting freqs like that, especially with such a fairly reasonable core voltage.
Pretty hard on the IMC. Not worth it when you could just go 2x sticks with double capacity.
Show love with a mousepad
ew
porn when?
>How much did you save?
I don't know. I spend too much money on hardware in general.
>How did your build turn out?
Excellent. It does exactly what I need it to. It runs Debian with 3 VMs. 2 Linux VMs for ownCloud, git, VPN etc. (I have 1gbit/s Internet) and 1 Windows VM with GPU & USB controller passthrough without having to resort to the acs override patch.
>How's your Ryzen running since you bought it?
Excellent. Runs 24/7, it's quiet and doesn't pull too much electricity.
It's honestly one of the best Hardware Choices I have ever made. Lots of cores, decent IPC and power consumption, decent I/O options, useful IOMMU groups. If I wanted something similar from Intel I would have had to go for an LGA2066 build and those aren't exactly cheap.

So intel's "10"nm is pretty much equal to TSMC's "7"nm. So who's cheating here more on the real node size?
i got a 1600 laying around lads what should i do with it
Amada is the only real AMD waifu, you impostors
Why not loving all of them?
it's inferior user
You serious? Those new bitches look like from some sort of generic anime character creator. They're just dolls. Amada has personality.
Is it? It's inferior in terms of yields, but it'll probably end up clocking better than TSMC's "7", so how is that inferior?
Heck, it'll probably clock better than TSMC's "5"nm
weebs out
it is
smaller is better
7nm is smaller than 10nm
How do you people keep saying this shit? It won't, we already know it clocks worse than Intel's 14nm for fucks sake.

ark.intel.com
The 10nm chip has 200MHz worse clocks and a non-functional iGPU, yet consumes the same power.
Build turned out well.

>Post your experiences with the Ryzen platform.
A bit hit and miss. I ordered two 1700X in October last year and I had to RMA both of them due to the segfault problem. One of the chips I got back has the C6 sleep lockup problem and PSU idle control doesn't do shit.
There's also endless bugs in either AGESA or the BIOS. Most recently the SEV crap pissed me off. The platform really isn't mature, but at least it has ECC.
As for how much I saved, I guess over $1000 because the equivalent 8-core Intel processor with 16 threads and ECC at the time cost a fuckton.
>The platform really isn't mature
well no shit you bought the 1st gen
Retard, we're 18 months after release and AGESA still fucking breaks shit every time a new version is released. AGESA is the same for both generations, and the C6 lockup still exists in second gen Ryzen.
Either it's some AGESA retardation that breaks shit or it's some other BIOS bug. Stuff like the SEV breakage shouldn't fucking happen 18 months after the first release.
Could it be a motherboard issue? Most people don't seem to complain about what you're talking about.
Sounds like you got a cheap mobo you dumb neetbux loser
Because most people don't use Linux. It's not a motherboard problem. And no, it's not the kernel's fault.
Nope, AGESA bugs are on AMD's side and has nothing to do with the motherboard.
please sir, do not bash ryzen
do the needful and delete your toxic comments
Where can i find what Iommu grouping looks like for the different X470 boards?
And yet Intel is 10 years behins TSMC in transistor techology
Everyone, including Intel is 'cheating'.
they're all forced to name it that way
>tfw no Ryzen gf
It's inferior because they can't actually make it
in fact they don't WANT to make it, their architecture is an insecure mess and the patch makes it only half-working and gimped
Intel won't produce ANYTHING worthy before 2020 and it will be already competing with the 5 nm process
I really love my Threadripper. My use cases mostly involve running benchmarks and watching my CPU utilization in the task manager.
>ASRock X370 Taichi
What BIOS are you using? I've heard they're hit and miss between versions.
any comparisons or benchmark? I'm currently on a similar build to your old one, just slightly worse.
Considering upgrading to Ryzen, but think I'll wait for 7nm.
Everything scales up by powers of two. 6 core processors are just defective 8-core processors with 2 of them disabled.
>the C6 sleep lockup problem and PSU idle control doesn't do shit
Can you elaborate on this?
I have a Ryzen 1600X. How can I check if I have that problem?
>think I'll wait for 7nm
That's what I would do in this point in time.
I fell for the 1700 meme at launch, I'm probably gonna throw some ECC into it and make a server.
w-what meme?
Ryzen can use ECC memory? Any cons to this?
That's one of the most bizarre sets of timings I've seen. Why do you have tRCDWR set so low? Why is tRFC so high?
Upgraded from FX-6100/990fx/GTX 650 to a Ryzen 7 1700/ASRock Pro4/RX 570 and i'm extremely happy with the money spent. I have yet to have to turn down any graphics settings on games for playability.
Side note, my 650 died a while ago so I've been using an Acer Nitro 5(I5-8300H w/ 1050 ti) and its a hot piece of fucking garbage
Does your machine randomly lock up when idling? If not, then probably not.
The issue shows up under Windows too, but is more easily reproducible on Linux.
Yes, it can. ECC is supported on all Ryzen CPUs, but not validated. It still works though, depending on your motherboard. Not all motherboards support ECC, but those that do say they do on the feature page (do NOT buy boards that say "operate in non-ECC mode"). Threadripper and EPYC have official validation.
My personal experience on a GA-AX370 Gaming 5 is that it actually works quite well.

I bought an R5 1600 just over a year ago.
I've managed to hold out for the last 16 months without ditching it until now. It's been fucking awful.
Freezing issues, shit performance, shit compatibility with B die RAM. Never going AMD ever again.
I plan on buying a 3950x next year. I'll be upgrading from a 4690k.
Using P4.70 bios. I don't mess with it at all anymore, since my ram is "good enough" at 3200CL14. I've heard this bios isn't great if you're super into tweaking.
Unfortunately one of the reasons why I upgraded finally was my old X58 board shit the bed, and fuck paying for a new one with how expensive they've gotten. So no benchmarks beyond "it feels snappier" or "my workload is done faster."
Absolutely wait for 7nm at this point. If your old build still does what you need it to and isn't crapping out, best to wait.
B die RAM is fucking meme. R5 1600 here with non-b die RAM and it working fine with very good performance.
>I bought a cheap as fuck motherboard and am regurgitating problems from years ago
This friends is what we call a moron.
>4690k
I still have mine as well running @ 4.7Ghz and am looking to Zen 2 for moar coars. I hope they don't disappoint.
Unfortunately mine cannot go above 4.1. Unlucky I guess.
Designed to, but not required to. If the manufacturer doesn't describe it as hot swap capable unplugging shit while the machine is on can make the controller bug out and take your OS with it.
fuck, m8. I would have returned that shit ASAP
It's not any better on windows
It was actually the best ITX motherboard available at the time (Asus X370i), but nice try.
Ryzen 1600, cheap Asus B350M, overclocked some shitty amd/hynix 2400 Mhz memory to 3066 Mhz with slighly better timings, 3200 Mhz is completely unstable.
i do have four sticks.
valid.x86.fr
Have an R5 1600 and have had zero problems with it.
16Gb Corsair DDR Ram 3000 Mhz
MSI B350 Bazooka motherboard
Plays all latest games at high detail and fps
this isnt stable, the max allcore oc i can do is 4.25ghz on a 240mm.
i do have four sticks.
valid.x86.fr
because my sticks can.
I used to have a Ryzen, it was awful. Now I have Intel Inside(TM) and everything is so much better.
Ryzen good. Intel bad
normies don't even know amd exists but sure, call people who deliberately go out of their way to
research CPUs and learn about ryzen NPCs
why do fucking redditors like you always bog the memes down to "someone I don't like"
kek, I upgraded from a 4690k to a Ryzen 5 2400g, trust me you won't be disappointed if you're gonna get a 3950X
I still don't understand how my 3.8Ghz/1.3v 1600 idles at 22'c and reaches at worst 55'c after hour of allcore compiling.
ryzen overclocking is limited by voltage. they run at too low a frequency to truly get hot, blame it on amd not being able to take risks while developing zen and going for a low power node
I had moments when I had bluescreens on idle, yes.
Could it be the C6 problem?
Hasn't happened in a while though.
