    when you boot into your OS and use something like CPU Z it will show it right.

    Hey all it's that time of the year again and I know everyone gets the itch to, but the question is should you? Upgrading! Now that AMD has taken the throne from what I've been reading would it be a good decision to upgrade to AMD coming from Intel or no? Right now I'm rocking an i7 6700k and I've been looking at the ryzen 3800x  it looks like a worthy upgrade doubling my cores and threads.

    the 2700x would be a good investment, the 2600 is the best bang for the buck in value right now but at $129 thats darn cheap!

    KhorCS got a reaction from LIGISTX in Low pitch humming noise from new PC   
    Think I found the source of the sound, the top chassis fan is spinning like a god damn blender and with the case I'm using (NZXT H500), the vibration caused by the fan is spreading through the thin top panel of the case.  
     
    If I place an object or my hand on the top panel, it becomes noticeably quieter and u can barely hear it, after removing said object, the hum returns. 
     
    I did go into bios and see what as the RPM of that particular fan and it was at 1800. Changed it to silent mode (1300RPM) and noise is lower but still not as good as having something pressing on the top panel. 
     
    Guess the last resort could be I lower the speed even further manually if it bothers me enough, otherwise should be ok.

    KhorCS reacted to TheFalcro in Hard Drive or SSD?   
    Just recently got my first SSD.  I will not be looking back it is 3 to 5 times faster for a boot drive and for my main game WoW BfA  it reduces my load tImes by at least 2X. I have an Intel Pro 2500 Series 180GB SSD I love this drive. I found it on e-bay for $18 USD which is a great price for this size drive I have learned though that these drives are NOT intel chips they are Sandforce chops that Intel put their name on That in and of itself is not a good or bad thing IMO but in this case the drive needed new SPECIAL firmware to prevent it from going to sleep and Windows being unable to "wake" it back up.Tthat was two days of hell figuring out what was wrong and getting the fix applied. Once the problem was fixed it has worked flawlessly. My advice here is research, reasearch, research, ask, ask, ask, and when you are ready to drop some coin on a new to you toy, research some more and ask at least one more opinion lol. I am not sorry that I purchased this drive I would have purchased it even knowing about the sleep issue but I would have updated the firmware before I installed it as my boot drive.....5 times in one day (lol at myself)

    Most of my flashdrives are sandisk and most of them get quite warm, but most of my non sandisk ones also get to about the same temperature.
     
    It's normal.

    that could be weird but also it doesnt matter till they fail i guess lol not like its a harddrive, yaknow? it could also be just that your operating system looking at the usb storage is just heating the storage up because its "in use"
    if theyre all like that i guess its just sandisks way, usb flash are a little more durable than you think but also maybe consider unplugging while not in use to extend their life

    I have yet to install ryzen master, nor is the bios up to date, this version came inside the box. Maybe it'll be better after I do those things?

    KhorCS reacted to Vejnemojnen in Is it me or is the Voltage a bit high?   
    And I would even try (after installing the latest bios version):
     
    1. set up RAM frequency and timings according to DRAM calculator for Ryzen.
    2. Set a slight negative offset voltage ~-0.025 or -0.05 volts (25-50milliVolt)
    3. Customize fan curves for CPU heatsink and case fans.
     
    At least, these three steps are recommended for Ryzen + generation. I don't really know Zen2 though...
     
    Another fine "option": fixing the cpu clock& setting up a slight negative voltage, and around mid-range load-line calibration.
     
    You have a steel Legend board, with lot of options in the BIOS. Don't be afraid to tweak! You miss 99% of the fun!
     
    If anything goes wrong, you can just clear the cmos with a screwdriver (short-circuiting the clean CMOS pins on your mobo)

    I got a 4x16GB kit as above. That was Hynix CJR.
     
    Looks like I had trouble running it at 3200 on X370 with bios 1.0.0.2. Can't remember if I retried it with bios 1.0.0.3 since. It being dual rank at 16GB modules may be a (negative) contributing factor.

    I'd consider 1.0.0.2 early bios, things only settled down with 1.0.0.3+
     
    The 4000 kit I have is Samsung B-die. Don't know if 3600 is same. Note on both Intel and AMD systems, I found the 4000 kit gave better real world performance at 3600 setting presumably due to better timings.

    KhorCS reacted to Mathieu9836 in RAM help   
    Clock speed and Timings are adjusted individually, so you can increase the number of clockspeed without touching the timings. Yyou can increase your memory clockspeed to lets say 3600mhz with the same timings, with this you have significant performance boost ( decreased latency) but often you need to increase voltage OR relax timings which are the number of cycles needed to perform a task like precharging memory or accessing a colomn or a row in the memory, or how much time the specific location on the memory is accessible to the CPu to read data. When you increase the clockspeed  you reduce the amount a time cycles last, so lets say you need to open a row and colomn in the memory for a total of 36 cycles, those cycles may last 100 nanoseconds but since you increase clockspeed by 15% this operation takes now 85 nanoseconds and it's not enough time for the data to be located. To counter this you relax the timings by settings those two actions to 20 cycles instead of 18 cycles, to give you back the 100 nanoseconds needed to perform those tasks.
    Thats not exactly how it work, its way more complex then that but if you can understand the basics of that then you will have a greater time overlocking ram.
    Thats why RAM performance need to be calculated in latency, because higher clockspeed with relaxed timings does not mean its faster then lower clockspeed and tighter timings.

    No, you cant really ignore the QVL list if you want to be certain. 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen had problems because of there SOC voltages were to low causing errors and crashing. I myself encountered this with my 1800x. Its very common on first and 2nd gen, just run the SOC voltage manually instead of on auto and more times than not, you're good. You can safely run the SOC voltage up to 1.2v for maximum 24/7 usage.
