AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2/3.4Ghz 6C/12T CPU $214.99 + $0.99 ship @ Newegg on ebay

This is ridiculous! AMD delivering what we've wanted for a long time and Intel denied us satisfaction. Thanks VL!
 
Fook.. just bought it 3 weeks ago.

Either way a great buy. I got one that does 3.85 @ 1.3v stable and one that will boot up at 4 @ 1.4v but not completely stable. Still wondering if I should try adding even more voltage on air.
 
My first one did 3.7Ghz @ 1.2875V, which is where I still have it now, even under a 120mm AIO CLC with fans on full. I did have it briefly at 3.8Ghz @ 1.3250V, but after running PrimeGrid on 10 threads, it was still too much for the 120mm AIO, so I had to clock it down again.

I really should get a better case, with room for a 240/280mm radiator. Then I could probably clock it to 3.8Ghz stable all of the time.

Then again, people are saying that I'm seeing higher temps than I should, for some reason. I still don't know why, exactly.

I'm hitting 70-71C under water.
 
Try a voltage offset of +0.5 or 0.6 for the 3.8. Most of the time its the power supply fluctuating and dropping voltage in the middle of the benchmark that leads to a crash.

I've noticed that since I have it steady at 1.3 but with it often says its running benchmarks at 1.28.

Oh and are you using A-Tuning if you're using an ASRock board? It gives the correct temps.
 
Yeah, those temps are the same in A-Tuning and Ryzen Master. Same as Package Temp in HWMonitor. Pretty high temps.

Also, my ASRock AB350M Pro4 does NOT have:
Offset voltage
LLC settings
SoC voltage

and DRAM voltage can only be set in 0.05V increments.
 
Try it.. 3.85 should be possible with 1.35v.

And you're making me happy that I went with the x370 Asrock Killer. I really wanted B350 as I wasn't going to use SLI but I couldn't find one with 6-8 SATA ports.
 
Not possible to OC to 3.85 in current BIOS.

Multi adjustment only goes by 25Mhz intervals.

Oh, wait, that would be 3850, I guess I could try dialing that in.

But, honestly, it seems like only "even" 100Mhz intervals "stick" in Windows / CPU-Z / HWMonitor, when OCing from UEFI.

Any other sub-100Mhz interval, it seems to come out as an xx25 number, in monitoring programs. Not easily possible to OC to an xx50 or xx75 Mhz freq. using UEFI. Maybe this will get fixed soon.
 
wish i could be fun to undervolt one of these in a mini itx system. really want to give ryzen a try but nothing i can do for now
 
I just put together my second Ryzen 5 1600 rig, this one is using the stock air cooler. It's in a Rosewill FBM-05 case, with two fans (120mm intake, 80mm exhaust).

Temps running 11-thread BOINC PrimeGrid load, are hitting 74C, in an A/C room.

Clocks and voltage are on AUTO, RAM is set to XMP, I have Team 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400.
 
why not spend 100 bucks more and get a 1700X?

Interesting; only the random access for nvm was a bit slower but that is likely fixable via an update. Much better than old results.
