Ryzen R7 Binning

[IEC]

So, it seems like people are hitting a wall around 4.1-4.2GHz on air so far. Here's the only decently large sample size (n=30+ per chip) information from a trusted third party (Silicon Lottery) that I have found so far on Ryzen R7 binning.

Silicon Lottery:

Yeah, I wanted to test them all anyway to see the results for myself. It looks like there is definite binning from AMD going on, with the 1800Xs being the best, followed by 1700Xs, and then 1700s.

Ryzen 7 1700
97% reach 3.8GHz @ 1.376V
70% reach 3.9GHz @ 1.408V
20% reach 4.0GHz @ 1.440V

Ryzen 7 1700X
100% reach 3.8GHz @ 1.360V
77% reach 3.9GHz @ 1.392V
33% reach 4.0GHz @ 1.424V

Ryzen 7 1800X
100% reach 3.8GHz (assumed)
97% reach 3.9GHz @ 1.376V
67% reach 4.0GHz @ 1.408V
20% reach 4.1GHz @ 1.440V

Note:
Their test setup used Realbench stress test for 1 hour on a Asus Crosshair VI Hero + Corsair H105 with 2x8GB DDR4-2400MHz CL15.

Caveat:
This is multiplier ONLY overclocking using ONE motherboard. Different results may be achieved with other motherboards or BCLK overclocking, but I only know of four (all X370) motherboards that currently support the external clockgen circuit required: Asus Crosshair VI Hero, Gigabyte Aorus X370 K7 Gaming, Asrock Fatality Professional Gaming, and Asrock Taichi.

My conclusion:
Bang for the buck is 1700. If you get a 1700 that clocks above 4GHz it's a golden sample.

If you are looking for 4GHz+ you should spring for the 1800X.

From what I've seen on YouTube, no one has gone much beyond 4.1GHz on water either. This reminds me of the OC potential of Fury. The 1700 is definitely the chip to get right now.

Stay tuned for information on Ryzen binning here.

We are initially binning the 1700, 1700X, and 1800X.

We did not have any 1700 or 1700X hit 4.1 at the voltages we used for testing, but we still have plenty more testing to do.

If you're familiar with how we bin things, the 3.8 bins mean they weren't able to do realbench at 3.9 with 1.408V or less which doesn't necessarily mean they can't do 3.9 at a higher voltage.

Like I said when I posted this in the other thread. I never trust the word of the person trying to sell me anything.

Overclockers dream

XFR = Auto-OC

And AMD is a lot more trustworthy than most
