Not sure why everyone is saying great guide. As you have spotted and probably as all other C6H owners know this video is horribly outdated because of the rate of BIOS improvements coming out. We are now on 1002 and it is much better than 0902 (3 updates ago). I think Linus dropped the ball here, I know its work but Linus could have prioritised a new platform launch better and got this out faster. Or and this is probably the better option, they could have been doing this now and released the video early April after motherboard BIOS' had had more time to mature. I watched this video hoping to learn something new from a pro like Linus only to realise it was old news and my system was already running better than his  If your video is outdated on the day you upload it then in future surely you should probably kill the video and redo it.
 
On top of that it wasn't very in depth either, I was hoping he was going to go in to custom p states on the C6H as that is 1 thing I haven't got sorted yet.

He's asking for help...

OC3D explained, that it's actually not Ryzens fault, it's the fault of the Bios, not reading the profiles correctly and leaving some parts out. If you go in and set EVERYTHING up manually (with memory, that is a HUGE PITA, as those are probably around 15 or more different points you have to find out and put in correctly), it runs pretty much with every Ram you can get. We have been pretty spoiled the last few years...i remember back in the day, when DDR first came about we had to do the same thing to get maximum performance. CAS, tRCD, tRP, tRAS are just four things, out of many, many others. Clock divider, Comand Rate and so on are also extremely important with Ryzen...

I've been on 0902 too it was there I just didn't try it until I was happy with my basic overclock

So after I was searching for a MSI Afterburner alternative for AMD cards on Linux and Mac I couldn’t find anything...
Soooo I decided to create my own android app to manage and view a AMD gpu on Linux with huge success.
 
So for any Linux users out there that wants a UI To over-clock your gpu on the fly check out my blog
 
I have only tested this with my gpu and on Linux so if you could give me some feedback I would highly appreciate it
 
Hope you guys enjoy and happy gaming

I have been a Linux user for about 10 Years now, most of the time though only on my trusty Thinkpad (or Elitebook, "back in the day"). Until recently i had an R9 270 @ 270X clock, then i bought an RX 480 for around 200 € (~ $235 i think...) with 8 GB. It was one of the cheapest and i'm planing to get an R5 1600 (or X, depending on how well they'll overclock) - in light of recent events around the RX500 and Vega launches, i probably should have waited a bit longer, but oh well
 
Anyway, i have been running a lot of games lately under Linux, namely Metro: Last Light Redux, Hitman and Doom with Vulkan (With Wine-Staging). And i have to say, they all run pretty amazing. I remember back in 2015, when native Gaming on Linux was a huge PITA, because pretty much every distribution had their own libraries and you had to look around and install the right ones. Granted, with AUR on ArchLinux that's actually pretty easy, but it still wasn't as easy as it is on Windows. When Microsoft announced, they will not support Windows 8.1 any more with newer CPUs, it was clear for me: I will neither buy Windows 10, nor use it even though i had the Win 8.1 code registered for an Upgrade back then. I actually bought Win 8.1 and was one of the few that liked (and still do) it a lot - apart from the start screen, which isn't a problem with StartIsBack (or something like that). Long story short: Gaming under Linux is absolutely amazing, compared to what it was "back then", since with OpenGL 4.5 and Vulkan the libraries have been standardized, games will run no matter what. And the nice thing is, you don't even have to install them on Linux. Just download it and that's that.
But the biggest surprise for me was the difference between Linux and Windows. Yes, Windows or rather DirectX is still faster quite a lot of times. But the difference isn't between "playable" or "not playable" anymore, it's pretty much the same as with R7 vs. i7: About 5-10%. Sadly, forcing FreeSync on not official FreeSync Displays is only supported on Windows...at the moment.
 
Long story short: To keep it comparable though, I'd say we keep the focus on Unigine, since it's free and can be run on pretty much every PC with Linux and an OpenGL Card.
 
(To keep it fair, i benched Heaven also in OpenGL Mode under Windows - and i should say that under Windows the card runs with 1340 MHz. Under Linux it runs with "just" 1291 MHz, because i was to lazy to overclock it via CLI...)
 

 
I may be adding Benchmarks for Metro 2033 Redux and Last Light Redux, once i can figure out the Benchmark Utility under Linux   (Or i will just pick a scene in the game and do a 5 minute "thingy" while recording frametimes - apparently voglperf can do that very well...)

Not sure how it is in the US, but here in Europe, just setting up the Hardware isn't the hard part. The hard part is getting permission to do that, pay fees and so on - all that regulatory stuff no one ever notices. Being responsible for so many people is also something that springs to mind...there are fire extinguishers and security stuff, that has to be provided and so on.
 
I'm also not sure, why everyone is giving them such a hard time and why this has turned in such a bad mudslinging. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down and closing the forum is the only way to do that, because if not, this would be escalating more and more.

Neither was my granddad :D
Two years later, i learnd what "format c:" meant...the hard way :D

Probabaly the biggest and worst mistake was installing windows 8. Windows 8 completly destroyed my partition table, so i had to restore about 1,8 TB of Data.
Even Linux didn't make such a mess...

Hi,
 
as some of you may remember (or probably not ), last year i did a Userreview of the 750K wich was (and still is) overclocked to 4,4 GHz.
 
I'm a Journalist for a small german Online-Magazine and we thought for the PS4 and XBox One releases, we could do a PC with similar/better specs ourselfs and write about it. Well, the Testing has taken a little longer then anticipated because of some mechanical Problems (The first time the Thermalright Macho HR-02 was to big for the case, after that was sorted with the smaller Thermalright Macho 120, the Mainboard died because of a very bad misshap and so on...), it was published only a few weeks ago
What did we choose:
 
AMD Athlon 760K ASRock FM2A88X Extreme4+ (wich was changed to the Extreme6+ by our supplier, after the unfortunate death of the 4+ and no 4+ was available) Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X Windforce 3x OC 400 Watt BeQuiet StraightPower 80+ Gold (over 90% efficiency, BQT E9-400W) 8 GB DDR3-1600 RAM Kingston V300 60 GB Cooltek Antiphone So in retrospec to Linus('? es? s? not sure what would be gramatically correct...) Value APU-Computer buildquide, i thought i could share some of the Benchmarks we did on our System.
 

 

 

 
There are Still a few Diagrams missing, i don't have access to all of them at the moment (don't ask why...*sigh*), but i'm going to put them on here as soon as i have them^^
 
So without further ado:

A78 is a new chipset for the FM2+ socket which will support upcoming Kaveri & Carrizo APUs.
It's more feature full and future-proof.

As i don't have a 6300 to Benchmark it myself, i have to rely on the different online databse entrys.
 
And if i do that, the 760K @ 4,6 GHz is ALOT faster then the Stock 6300. It is also a huge improvement in Power Consumption. You can have C6-State and CnQ turned on while overclocked, so Idle Consumption is down to 36 Watt with that System (wich is IMHO because of the PSU. I tested the same System with a 500 Watt Bronze PSU and it was stuck at 68 Watt Idle).
 
Naturally, if you use 6-Threads all the Time, the 6300 will be a little faster.
 
The Benchmarks for BF4 and Crysis 3 are done, and TBH i was blown away by the results. Both probably would run a bit faster on a 6300@4,6 GHz, but not by much.
 
BF4 runs in F-HD and basically maximum Settings (a few things are turned off, like Motion Blur, Weapon DOF and Post Processing is turned down a little - apart from that everything is on High) with about 45-50 FPS in Single Player and 30-40 FPS in Multiplayer.
 
Crysis 3 is pretty much the same, although it "spikes" sometimes up to 70 FPS.
 
GPU Load is allways at 98-100% in both Games.
 
Metro 2033 has some glitches in the build in Benchmark. While Playing the Game it drops sometimes down to 35 FPS, but most of the time it's solid 55-60 FPS.

Holy crap, that looks scary :D That must have been quite a nice smell too^^
 
It's a miracle the battery didn't start venting/exploding

Well, you live in switzerland and pay around 16-17 euro cent's per kWh, we in germany pay 28 cents! :D So don't complain xD But that sounds like a balling machine...
 
 
Because i just finished ME 3 (meeeh, i hate the ending) :D

I just stumbled over Linus in a Picture on the interweb in Germany and thought i share it with the techtips community :D

Hi,
 
i've registered in the Forum quite a long time ago and never really had the time to do "something" around here^^ I hope i'm forgiven :P Oh, and if anyone wonders - i'm from germany and if my english isn't that perfect....well, don't smash my head against the wall *g* Something about me (didn't find any "Hey, i'm new!" threads :/ ) :
 
I'm 23 years old, studying optical electronics and since my granddad "threw" a 386 on the desk (i think i was about 6 or 7 years old) i'm "into" Computers.
The second PC i got had a AMD K6 in it and my first one, that i completly build by myself was a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ Thoroughbred B. It was one of the fastest CPU's you could buy in Germany around the end of 2002.
The biggest mistake with that build was getting a Nvidia GeForce FX5200. It was probably one of the crappiest GPU's i ever owned :D Shortly after that, i got a Radeon X1950Pro, wich i had until last year (i even played Crysis on it! But with a Phenom X3... ;) )
 
Anyway. A few month ago, my ASUS M3N-HT died...at least sort of. Didn't start all the time, BOSD's and so on. Well, soomething new was necessary. And maybe it's obvious from the above, that i'm more of the budget builder, then the absolute high end one. So my budget for a new Mainboard + CPU + RAM was at the max. 200 € (~ 260 U.S. Dollar, ~ 265 C.A. Dollar). Since i am a huge AMD Fan, never had any problems with the CPU's or the GPU's (i never even had any problems with the FGLRX driver under linux, don't know why, but it just worked for me - apart from XGL back in 2006), i never even considered Intel. I don't like Intel that much, because of their company and distribution policy in Germany (they bribed all the big PC-Companies to just use Intel CPU's) and some other things.
 
AM3+ was out of the question, it's a dead plattform and apart from that i would have never got something for under 200 €.
 
So it came down to FM2 and the X4 750K. Before you look at the pictures: It's absolutly no clean build, i threw it together in a hurry, because i needed the PC for studys. But the clean the mess up is right up the list, behind water cooling and a black PCB Radeon 7870 or 7950 :D And now i let the pictures speak for themself...^^
 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 
It's now running stable at 4,4 GHz. For Benchmarks and some Testing i had it up to 4,8 GHz, but it just doesn't work with Air Cooling, it runs into a "SCRAM" ;D 72°C and the whole thing BSOD's, because the thermal controler of trinity says it's to much ;)
 
Well, anyway, as i said, i'm quite impressed and in quite a few benchmarks, the 750K @ 4,8 GHz is sometimes faster then a i5-3570. It's faster then a i7-920 all the time. Sure, Integer performance isn't that great, but personally i don't give a damn :P At the moment every game i own runs on max settings at 1600x1200 (wich is only 3% less pixels than F-HD, so i'm counting it as F-HD :P) at over 40 FPS. Since the Monitor i'm using right now has quite a slow response time, it dosen't matter that much.

THIS is what Matt smith is all about. Pure epicness, goosebumps like hell and so on.
 
Tennant is and was the very emotional part IMHO, but i can't recall any episode with Tennant wich was a fraction as epic as those with Matt Smith. Even the ones with the Master...
