I'm going to build my first PC soon and was planning on buying the ryzen 1700 and the 1080 Ti. I'll be mainly gaming at 1440. Will the CPU bottleneck the GPU a lot? How severe will the bottleneck be? Like are we talking about awful, awful, awful performance such as 30-40 FPS on Deus Ex at 1440 or will it be 100+ and fine?

Help with finding RAM for a Ryzen 1700 build: CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 Mobo: ASrock AB350m Pro 4 GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 This build is a workstation, mainly for audio production, with some video and image editing. Light gaming. I keep finding G.Skill Flare X as the best 16gb 3200 ddr4 kit that will work at 3200 out of the box. Will it even work at 3200 with my board, or is it okay to look at other compatible brands in the 2400-2666+ range 16-32gb to work with my board and ryzen 1700? Is it a huge jump in productivity from 2x8 16gb 3200 ddr4 flare x to 32gb 2400+ corsair for audio production? I saw 32gb ripjaws for $230, but not sure at all if I should stick to the 16gb flare x... Any help would be awesome. Thanks

I've been popping up around here lately, asking for advice on how to upgrade my computer, and now after choosing what I will be getting, which is: PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/H2Pzqk Price breakdown by merchant: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/H2Pzqk/by_merchant/ CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor (£249.59 @ Aria PC) Motherboard: Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard (£108.05 @ BT Shop) Video Card: MSI - Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card Case: Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400 TEMPERED GLASS ATX Mid Tower Case (£99.93 @ Amazon UK) Total: £457.57 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-11-02 03:41 GMT+0000 Now, I'm looking for some RAM to go with it, I was originally going to get Team - Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory. I've been hesitant to buy it though, and came here seeking some guidance. My price range is £650-700 total for the build. So, any suggestions? Max price is around £170. Also, I am thinking of upgrading my GPU to something like a 1060, or 1080 when I can afford it, if that makes a change to any suggestions. I am not going to be OverClocking. Thanks in advance. P.S - Can anyone tell me if https://www.amazon.co.uk/ROG-STRIX-B350-F-Socket-Motherboard/dp/B072C6VPZJ is the same as the one in my partpicker? I am wanting to buy everything through Amazon, so just want to check.

I need help or an explanation. - have a rizen 1700 and I over clocked it by going to the bios and increasing the cpu frequency to 4.0. -I rebooted my system and it says in the system information that my cpu is at 4.0 but when i go to CPU-Z and core temp its telling me my core speed is 1.55. Is there a difference between increasing the cpu frequency and the core speed? if so how can i increase the core speed?

Now please hear me out completely. I have a Ryzen 5 1600 on a b350 mobo. I want to have a cpu cooler that can support the load of a R7 1700 in the future. I plan on some overclocking, even with the b350 mobo. I am on a budget and don't want to spend more than $150, but want to spend only about $100. I have space for dual 120 mm or dual 140 mm fans. My case can only fit coolers under 65 mm in the case, so liquid cooling seems to be my best bet. I really need something that will not fail on me, because I am personally very timid with liquid cooling, as it could catastrophically damage my components. I have gotten other recomendations including the Corsair H60 and the NZXT Kraken x41. I have researched into it, and found that the Kraken 62x and MasterLiquid 240 looked good too. Thank you for your help and your time.

Hello everyone,Here are the specs:Ryzen 1700 - running at stock no overclock yet as I haven't been able to buy after market cooler.16gb of DDR4 RAM @3200MHz2x GTX 1070 - not in SLI as I don't game, I use these for Octane Render (GPU based rendering)OS SSD - 500GBWorking HDD - 1TB Western Digital BlueRunning Windows 10 64bit up to date / AE CC2017 14.2 / Cinema 4D R17 / Nvidia Drivers up to date / This is a brand new computer I just installed Windows a couple of weeks agoHere are the issues i'm having:1.- Using BG Renderer with Multiprocessing on and set to High Priority, I can't continue using After Effects (I can do this without issue at work on my Intel Machine which has 32GB but CPU speed is pretty much the same)2.- Using Adobe Media Encoder to render an AE comp via Dynamic Link, same thing, AE becomes unusable.3.- In these two screenshots you can see how using BG Renderer or AE Renderer won't use more than 25% of CPU power or more than one Thread. 4.- In this screenshot it's the performance when rendering out of Cinema 4D. Completely different from AE and also while rendering on C4D I can use AE simultaneously. I am pulling assets and rendering from my HDD which is very fast until I hit render. And what I am rendering from C4D is very very simple compared to all the images and effects composited in my AE comps but still don't understand why C4D makes use of all the cores and AE doesn't? why am I able to continue working normally in AE when rendering from C4D and not when using Media Encoder or BG Renderer. Why is my CPU not being used anywhere near to 100% at any point? Disclaimer: Haven't tried pulling and rendering to the SSD but I can't afford a 1TB SSD right now either way or more RAM.

Want to build a custom loop in a air 240 I have a ryzen 1700 and plan to get a vega card. I want to use hard tubing and white dye (or is white hard tubing available) Trying to keep cost as low as possible. The black case Is kinda what I want to do are these parts compatible.

Basically i dont know what to chose https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JzqV9W - Ryzen 7 1700 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DRvtFd - I5 7600k https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RHGgjc - I7 7700k https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h89d2R - i7 6700k I will be using my pc for gaming,edting,coding,photoshop,3d painting, autocad etc.

I've had my H100i since late 2015 with my old Haswell-E processor. But recently i switched to a Ryzen 1700 and i've been trying to overclock it. It's currently at 3.7GHz 1.375v .Everytime I run a stresstest or even cinebench, it rises to over 100°C even if i have the pump and fans running at full speed. My idle temp is 45-60°C. Is it the cooler? Thanks in advance for the answers!

Good day to all of you. First of all, i am new in these kinds of forums. Please forgive me if i have posted on the wrong thread. This is the problem i have. I have build a PC (see specs in the bottom). This is my first build, but i have quite a lot of experience when it comes to computers (specially hardware). I didn't have any problems while building my PC and i knew exactly where to put everything. After i built my PC, it booted up correctly (it took a little long but i know its OK if its the first time it's booting). I installed windows 10 and continued to install all the drivers. I downloaded the drivers from the official MSI web-site. The PC was running good. Though it took a little to long to boot. Actually, it took to long to POST (like 20 or more seconds). One problem i noticed is that, every time i turned my PC off, windows would shut down, but the fans kept spinning and the LEDs in the case and everywhere were still on for like an other 15 seconds (Add that to the shut down time of windows and it took like 40 seconds to completely shut down the PC). The same was happening while booting up. I press the button, lights and fans turn on for like 20 seconds, then the PC POSTS, then it starts Booting. Also, the RAM is 3000 mhz. In bios, my ram was underclocked at 2133 mHz. I read in the internet and i found out that this is a common problem with that motherboard and that updating the bios would fix that (and many other problems). So cool, i downloaded the latest bios (v1.5) and upgraded my bios(v1.2) at the time. -After i updated, i saw that now the ram was running at 2133mHz but i could easily OC it at 2666mHz. I was OK with that, though it was not 3000 mHz. But i still had the other problems. Long POSTING and BOOTING times, fans and LEDs still on after Windows shuts down so i went to the bios and disabled splash screen and some other stuff. After i did that, i restarted my PC and yeah it was somewhat faster but now i had an other problem. Everytime i turn my pc on, it posts (takes long again), starts the Windows 10 boot (the circle loading screen starts) but right after 1 or 2 seconds, pc restarts and it boots up again but it boots into the BIOS. So now every time i turn on my pc it boots into the bios. Yes, the bios does memorize all the settings, time and ram frequency. -I tried to fix this in the bios and WOW, now i have an other problem. Each time i turn my PC on, in the moment i press the power button (before it posts and stuff), a creepy pixelated image is shown on my screen, then it proceeds with the usual, (boot windows, restart while booting windows, restart PC, show that image again, boot the BIOS, I exit bios, PC restarts, shows that creepy image, posts (long), boots (longer) and now i can use my pc. Great :D). An other thing that i noticed is that now after all this has happened, when windows boots up, it is laggy (like when i want to type my password it takes some time for the login screen to show up) Also yesterday, for some reason my CPU was only being used like 12% in Counter Strike GO, but i assume (And hope) its because of CSGO. SPECS: Processor: AMD Ryzen 1700 (Amazon.com); Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk (the one with red LED) (Amazon.com); RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000 mHz (Amazon.com); HDD: 2 x Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (2016 i think) (Newegg.com); Case: NZXT s340 Elite (Newegg.com); GPU: PowerColor RX480 4GB Red Dragon (Newegg.com); OS: Microsoft Windows 10; I will get an SSD eventually and see if that fixes the booting problem. Thank you very very much for reading this far. I wish you all the best ^^

I have a Corsair Air 240 and want to water cool it. I have a Ryzen 1700 and plan to get RX Vega when that comes out. I would like to start buying parts until then. Its going to be a white build. I want to do hard tubing (yes i know its hard and bad for first timers). Looking for part recommendations. Not sure where else to shop besides EK. Trying to keep prices as low as possible considering.

Hey guys! I think I have a problem. I built my new flagship gaming build a few months ago, and I've been having lower than expected performance when comparing to GTX 1080ti reviews... Here's my complete part list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dashrendar2507/saved/sD4jXL. Notice the 860w platinum PSU and 3200mhz RAM. Also, my monitor is a Samsung CF791, 3440x1440 100hz Freesync. I was looking at all the 3440x1440 benchmarks and reviews I could find, coupled with a GTX 1080ti. Even better if it was with a Ryzen CPU, but from what I've seen the CPU shouldn't make much of a difference at that resolution. Anyways, I really don't seem to be getting the same performance as what's expected from that card. in The Witcher 3, I have to lower the settings to medium-high (everything HairWorks disabled) to get ~80fps, and that's only outside: cities are a no-go, averaging 60fps, often less. Reviews run that game maxed out, and 3440x1440 gives almost 100fps. Same for The Division (DX12 cripples my FPS, but even DX11 is rough at medium settings, outside), and Rise of The Tomb Raider. Mass Effect Andromeda is particularly tough, but I think that game doesn't have the best track record for optimization. Crysis 3 also has to be downgraded quite a bit. For now, the only recent AAA game I'm comfortably running maxed out is Doom (2017, of course). BF1 is okay, too. I'd say ~80, mostly at High, with some Ultra and Medium. Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta runs mostly 100fps maxed out, too. I'm sitting at 3.6ghz right now on the stock cooler because I'm gathering the money for a custom EK water loop. In the meantimes, should I push my tiny overclock farther on stock cooling? One important thing, my CPU is never maxed out when playing games, so CPU bottlenecking is pretty much out of the question. Sorry for not giving metrics right now, but ask and you shall receive. I'm just really bummed out that I have to drop the settings way down, especially when I compare to benchmarks and reviews. I know Ryzen CPUs are underwhelming at 1080p, but at 3440x1440 with 3200mhz memory, I would have thought the difference would be minimal. Do you guys have suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

hello, i want to know at which pace to look ta occt shows the temp that is SYSTIN AMD masters shows package which one is right? OCCT temp was the same as hwmonitor SYSTIN temp i have a Ryzen 7 1700

Looking for advice guys, i have been using a ryzen 1700 and a 980ti for a few years now and I have been more than happy, however I have been frustrated with my 1080p frame rates especially in ubisoft games. I am looking to gain 15 20 fps but i can only replace my GPU or CPU. The main use for my PC is commercial photography and stop motion so gaming is secondary but i still love to game. Where would I see the biggest gains Ryzen 3600 or GPU around £300 budget.

I wanted to try an 8 core ryzen before ryzen 3000 so i changed my ryzen 2600X (4.1ghz) to a ryzen 1700 at 3.9ghz I know from a review i read after i bought the mb, that the vrm can get pretty hot on my msi x370 gaming pro carbon i also bought since i somehow had problems with my x470 mb. New msi mb can get pretty toasty oc'ed to 4ghz https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8175/msi-x370-gaming-pro-carbon-motherboard-review/index10.html Anything under 60C is great, 60-80C is acceptable, and anything above 80C is a bit worrisome (if at stock). So fare so good since i keep my ryzen 1700 at 3.9ghz. Max temperature under prime 95 can get above 80c but it's oc'ed and has so much power i won't need it when i game on a 1080p 144hz monitor with a factory oced asus rtx 2060 strix. My case is a define r6 with 2x140 mm fans, 1 on the front bottom as intake an 1 as a rear exhaust fan close to the i/o panel, in the front there's a coolermaster Masterliquid lite 240 with 2 scythe mugen 5 fans. case fans runnging at 600 rpm and cpu fans just under 450 rpm and doing it even when temps are 60c in prime 95 small fft raising to 63 ish at a time of the day where it's not hot (pretty good). Questions Would a 120mm fan in the top of my case with the top and fan filter on running at very low rpm, do anything for my vrm? Low rpm an with the top on for silence. One intake fan at the top and close to it an exhaust fan, that won't do much for my vrm, since most of the air from the top is sucked out of my pc before it reaches the vrm ? ? ? I have tried lowering and lowering the vcore to an extend i never thought possible, from 152watt to 120watt or somewhere above 1.300 volt down to 1.200 volt peaking at 1.216 volt. Did i won the silicone lottery ? https://valid.x86.fr/v0vt72 https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics

My computer worked fine for over a year. One day when attempting to turn the computer on I get no post but all fans, LEDs are running. Also, no power is coming from my USB ports as my mouse and keyboard are not lighting up which would usually happen on startup. Reset button and power button are still working but as I said no post and no power to usbs. I have tried re-seating all of my cables as well as the CMOS battery, I have tried manually resetting the bios but nothing no post no beeps. Just looking for some help as to what I should try next or what is making this happen. I believe it is the motherboard that is causing this issue Asus prime b350 plus, do motherboards somehow go bad? specs: ryzen 1700 gtx 1070 16gb gskill ram

Hello everyone! I hope you had nice holidays! I have been annoyed by this 100% disk usage for a year now and I am completely sick of it! I have read every article, reddit post and even LTT's posts on it with no solution. The computer Will lag upon using anything on one source and result in a random and weird 100% disk usage e.g: SSD (O.S + Most applications) HDD (Games) using chrome on the SSD won't cause the lag but playing a game WILL spike the disk usage. I have 2 HDDs, 1 M2 and two SSDs. At first I thought it was the HDD that was the problem but I was wrong. The reason is I switched SATA ports for both, resulted in a very long booting time (Up to 5 minutes) and using any application on the SSD or the HDD will return with a 100% disk usage. I kept doing that until the it booted fast and I tried the HDD and it was the same as the first case. I bought a 960EVO 1TB SSD this Christmas and low and behold...the same problem on the brand new SSD. It is not the HDD then. What is the problem then? I googled everything with no real solution. I disabled SuperFetch, modified Microsoft AHCPI controllers. Tried many things in the BIOS. The only time it works is when I unplug everything except the O.S SSD. Throughout all of that time researching I have noticed a few common things with this issue, I will list them for you guys. 1- The spikes happen randomly, and they freeze the entire PC. 2- 100% disk usage with 0 reads and writes, I tried Resource Monitor...same poop different toilet. 3- Sometimes, switching SATA ports constantly might solve it temporarily, however; it will come back! 4- This problem is mostly common with X370 chipsets so far, at least from what I have seen from all the posts I had. My specs: * Ryzen 1700 @3.0GHz * 32GBs of Ram @ 2800MHz * Kingston UV400 SSD 256GBs (O.S), two WD Blacks HDDs 2TB and 500GBs, Samsung 850 M.2 500GBs * GTX 1080 FE 8GBs * MSI X370 GAMING PRO * Windows 10 64 bit 1909 (Latest Update) if anyone can help this I would be grateful.

Hi everyone! So with the help of black Friday sales I upgraded my old PC (i5 760 OC to 4.1, GTX 650) to new ryzen 1700 and GTX 1060. Basically I upgraded/changed everything I had in my old system except of the case, PSU and a couple of HDDs. But now I'm encountering a problem: while testing stability of my overclock - after about 15 minutes to half an hour my system just suddenly shuts down. I am doing AIDA64 stress test (everything except local discs and GPU) and Furmark simultaneously. It does fine, temperatures look fine as well, but then it just shuts down. When I am doing tests individually - everything works perfectly fine again. Can it be an issue of my old 500w power supply not being able to cope with such loads? I remember it not being a particularly expensive one, but at the same time it wasn't the cheapest one. Sadly I can't provide you with any information about it because all of the stickers have already fallen of. But it was doing fine for almost 6 years I would say, in my old system. P.S. GTX 1060 is also overclocked to +150 on the GPU and +446 on memory (ZOTAC AMP! Edition) sadly can't remember the exact clock speeds right now, so only the offset. Power Target is 116%. Ryzen 1700 is OCd to 3.7 on all cores at voltage I also can't remember right now, but it is quite adequate. Thank you for your time reading it and your help! P.P.S. cooler master PSU calculater shows about 470-480 watts of peak load, but every other piece of information suggests that 500w should be plenty

Budget (including currency): Free Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games/Studies/Editing videos Other details: My friend giving me a Ryzen 7 2700. I have a working Ryzen 1700 on stock clocks and Masterliquid Lite 120 AIO, motherboard I'm using is GA-AB350-Gaming 3 (on Bios F25) with Corsair vengeance(2400 mhz xmp) dual channel 16GB, Gpu is Rtx 2060. Windows 10 Professional (1909). With the latest nvidia, realtek audio, Lan drivers. Except the chipset driver which is amd_software_2.03.12.0657 (the one before the current one). How should I proceed do you think? Set Bios to default values, shut down, take out battery. Then apply thermal paste (3 year old Mx-4 tube) and install cpu. But do I uninstall the drivers, shut down then do these steps? Or install cpu and clean re-install drivers once/(if) it boots into win 10? Thank you in advance. Any help is really appreciated.

I'm having that "seems too good to be true" feeling. I have an entire thread on reddit dedicated to my first OC which only I am replying to. It's pretty lonely in there, so now I'm here. I'll just get straight to it. CPU: Ryzen 1700 (OC 3.85ghz at 1.35v) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz CL16 (OC 2933mhz at 1.25v) MOBO: Gigabyte AX370 Aorus Gaming K7 BIOS: F20 I documented some stuff and took BIOS screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/wIP0GaZ Everything is on default except what's shown. I just need someone to tell me if I forgot anything that'll turn my computer into a fireplace overnight. Also check my voltages please. I set dynamic SOC to the lowest possible and I'm assuming that puts it on 0.95v to 1.1v range. Playing it super safe with voltages. Note that this is a 24/7 build.

Hi. For a year now, i have been gaming on a R7 1700+gtx 1060 computer, and it has been awesome. But recently i noticed that cpu performance is not that great on non heavily multi-threaded games like farcry and crysis series. . So i started testing my system and found that on on a fresh boot, cpu-z benchmark results (@ stock settings) are: 405 p. for single thread and 4003 p. for multi thread, but as soon as i start the steam client, even if it reports cpu usage under 1% in the task manager, my cpu-z results get down to: 362 p. for single thread and 3870 p. for multi thread. That is a 10% and 6% performance loss respectively, but more important, i have determined this as the cause for the stuttering present in the games mentioned earlier. If i limit steam.exe, steamservice.exe and steamwebhelper.exe to use only one thread via "set affinity" in the task manager, i seem to recover half of the performance lost, and stuttering in games is significantly reduced but not totally eliminated. It seems that even if the steam client is not been heavily used or even it is minimized to the system tray, somehow it still prevents the cpu from boosting itself and reach maximum performance. i have tried closing the steam client after launching the games but it does not work all the times as most games require the client to be running for them to function properly, i have also tried disabling stream and broadcasting options in the settings menu, i do not use any skin or big screen mode, and try to keep my system free of any background processes. I have replicated this behavior on another pc with an old i5 3550 but intel processors do not seem to be affected as much as amds since performance loss is around 5% for single threaded and under 2% for multi threaded in the i5. Maybe someone can help me find a definitive solution or at least recover a bit more of performance. Thanks.

Hello, I'm new here, so I think it's a right place to post it but here we go... I recently bought a Ryzen 1700 and paired it with GA-AB350M-DS3H because it seems like a decent motherboard(it's on X370 chipset) and is quite cheap. The thing is, I have no clue what memory to choose. I have my eye on a Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB(2X4GB) 3000Mhz CL15(CMK8GX4M2B3000C15) but I have no idea if it will work or not(I want to buy it because I can get it for about 70€). Could anyone please help me with that? Thanks in advance and have a nice day,

Hi guys, first time posting here so please bear with me. I'm wondering which of the two processors (Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 1700) is best for game development? I'm planning to use it with Unity, Blender and maybe another graphic rendering tool. Thanks!!!

I'm trying to build about a 700-800$ build and am in the final stages of choosing everything... The only problem is, Ryzen 2600 comes out mid april and that's 200$ compared to Ryzen 1600's 150ish (includes with rebate). If I go for the Ryzen 1600, I could probably manage to get a GTX 1060, however if I go for the the 2600, I'll be able to max out at a 1050Ti if I'm lucky. What should I go for?

This is my first custom mod so it isn't going to be perfect. Here we go.... I got a desk from ikea a while back my pc sat under it and there was a mass of cables and not much room. I kept looking at the shelves I have triple monitors so both are partially blocked so I decided to build my pc in to it
