Hello! Quick question (first post ever) it basically says everything in the title. The 3600 has Zen 2 architecture but it only says optimizing for AMD Zen in Prime95. Is this only a little Bug I shouldnt pay attention to or worth looking at or does it just mean its generally optimizing for AMD Zen arch. Thanks in advance!

Is first-gen Ryzen still worth it? On eBay they go for $70-100 used and about $115 new. I mean, you can get like a A320 or B450 for like $50-80 now. -
Since its a Zen3 chip with just more cache should it not work with AM4?

I’ve been using a 3700x for about six months now - upgraded from an FX8320. I recently was able to get my hands on a 5800x and popped it in my B550 board. After seeing benchmarks online that made this CPU just as appealing as a GPU upgrade, I found that my performance in games were quite literally little to none. Examples: Horizon Zero Dawn went from 73 FPS average to 75; Generation Zero went from 92 FPS average to 96. I thought that was strange because if you’re like me, a Zen 2 user who saw the huge gains from benchmarks and videos online, you’d have probably expected much better, right? Well, here’s the thing, and a lot of you have probably already said ‘there isn’t enough info or context,’ get ready. I’m gaming at 1440p on a 2070 Super. That’s where the issue lies. For those gaming at 1080p, you will likely see a much bigger difference than I did - obviously because the CPU is more stressed at lower resolutions. I didn’t even connect the dots when buying the CPU. So, here’s my warning/advice for those on Zen 2 or similarly-performing architectures such as 9th or 10th Gen Intel: wait. Wait for Zen 4 if you’re gaming at 1440p. Your CPU is already more than enough. Focus on a GPU upgrade if you must upgrade something. I will be returning my 5800x now. Obviously, this article does not speak of productivity performance as that’s a whole other issue you need to workout yourself. But for the gamers out there, hear my words. Thank you for your time

Now, I am very much a noob, so excuse me if I say something wrong. Like the title says, can Zen 1 run 3600 mhz ram? I have a R5 1600 and I plan to pick up some ram during boxing day, but I am not sure whether it'll reach that speed. I have seen posts saying that zen 1 can barely get over 3000 mhz, which I find confusing since I am currently running at the stock 3200 mhz my current ram supports. I've been looking at DRAM calculator for Ryzen and it too does indicate that 3600 mhz is above Zen 1's limit. Is this true, and if so, does it mean that ram advertised at 3600 mhz won't be able to run at that speed in my system?

Hey all, I built a new rig recently with a Ryzen 3600 and ASRock B550 board. No OC so far, I've kept everything stock. I've noticed in Ryzen Master that the stock voltages the board is putting out seem pretty high. Looks like it's doing up to 1.4-ish volts for single core, and when I run an all-core stress test, it's capping at about 1.34 volts. I've seen a couple posts such as this one on the AMD subreddit saying the max safe all-core is 1.325V. Is it possible the default voltage on the board is going to degrade my chip? Should I manually undervolt a bit? Thanks!

Hey, I just received my 5900x today and am about to start the build process. I am getting my BIOS USB ready for the Flashback feature on my ASUS X570-F. I believe the BIOS needs to be updated to AGESA 1.1.0.0 however, on the BIOS download page of the motherboard it has two versions with this version of AGESA. One that was released on the 23rd of October and a Beta BIOS released on the 5th of November. I am not sure which one to use mainly because I am skeptical about the fact that the latest one is a Beta. Both have identical release notes, "Improve system stability" etc. All help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Sup. I have the x370 CROSSHAIR VI HERO wifi and I want to update my bios from version 1602, I installed when I got the mobo all those years ago, to support Zen 2. Do I just install the latest version or are there any bios' I need to update to in between? Can't seem to find anything on the support page mentioning it

Looking pretty darn good on the CPU side for AMD considering it has only been 4 years since Zen/Ryzen launched. Sadly though, according to these statistics, Radeon isn't doing so well. Only the RX 580 had the ability of making it into the top 10. Source: https://www.techspot.com/news/86969-amd-now-accounts-over-25-cpus-among-steam.html

https://antec.com/product/power/ne600g-zen.php How is this psu? My current Corsair Cx 2017 is giving some issue and I want to change it, so I was wondering how good the Antec will be. My system specs is in signature.

Hey so like many I am planning to get a Zen 3 chip to pair with my 3080 and am therefore in the market for a X570 board. I know that AMD have confirmed that X570 will work with Zen 3 but just wondering if a BIOS update would be needed and for that an older Ryzen chip? This is going to be a fresh build so I don't have an older Ryzen chip from an older system. Cheers

I have a problem with running OS X Mojave on Virtualbox with a Zen 2 CPU. I'm certain I've once run a macOS VM (although not Mojave) on this CPU, but can't get it to work again. Using the classic - VBoxManage modifyvm "machine" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7–6700K" makes Virtualbox give the Critical Error. Running the VM without this command just makes it hang at End RandomSeed. Does anyone have a solution, or is running Mojave under Virutalbox on Zen 2 a lost cause? I'd quite like to keep the image vanilla, to know it's not compromised. The image I use is created on my MacBook and it boots fine on the Mac just not when I transfer it. -
Quad-core or Hexa-core for my toaster?
Nena Trinity posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I am worried about thermals here currently it has a GTX 970 and I will replace it for a Vega 56 later... I think it will fit? Barely maybe? The main goal is to make a PC capable to run all games next Gen can toss at it! The only issue is should I go a quad-core or hexa core? I am thinking wait for 4000 series because 5nm rumor to prevent it from killing itself due to heat but... (which Zen 3 would you get?) Athlon X4 880K @4.3GHz (Socket FM2+) DDR3-1866MHz (CL9-10-11-27) MSI GeForce GTX 970 OC Samsung 850 2.5" SSD (500GBx2) Western Digital 2TB 2.5" HDD 1280x1024 Gaming PC (50% less pixels) *First GPU = GeForce GTX 960 (2GB) *First Upgrade = GTX 970 (58% better) *Second Upgrade = Vega 56 (65% better) AMD FX-8370 @4.3GHz (Socket AM3+) DDR3-2133MHz (CL9-11-11-31) Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 56 Samsung 850 2.5" SSD (500GBx2) Seagate 2TB 3.5" SSHD 1920x1080p Gaming PC *First GPU = GeForce GTX 970 *First Upgrade = RX Vega 56 (65% better) *Second Upgrade = Navi 2nd Gen?

About Chinese CPU "中科海光 Hygon" 1. Bilibili：https://www.bilibili.com/video/av92169203/ （2-Test） 2.

(Because my English is so~~ bad.) Hygon is made of AMD's "zen" architecture When AMD is facing bankruptcy,they sell the "zen" architecture for 300 million（I forget is CNY or USD） This CPU is look very like with AMD EPYC,also Hygon is in Socket LGA4094(SP3),same of the EPYC. I have a Hygon Dhyana C86 7151 CPU（x86），it has 2.0GHz 16Core/32Threads TDP：150W 32MB L3 It likes EPYC 7281,right? It made of GlobalFoundries（2019） 14nm ZEN （On 2020，it will made of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation） There have some text on the cover ： On the left it meaning Made in China and Designed in China ChengDu On the right it meaning "Calculation the future with chip" Simply put，Hygon is a EPYC，just replace the cover ，modify the BIOS and add the chinese encryption and decryption module in it But HYGON is not exactly EPYC，they add the chinese encryption and decryption module in it. And chinese encryption and decryption module get the ON.1 in global encryption and decryption testing. It can support Windows Server / Linux and lots of system,But it can't support Windows 10 well.Maybe have some BUG On the 2019 COMPUTEX Taipei ，HYGON can use in Tyan S8026.So HYGON is not doing too many modify.It can use in SP3 Motherboard。（x399 maybe can't） HYGON's quantity and type is so less. ↓ ↓ ↓ HYGON 3165 (？?GHz 6C/12T ?MB L3)= Ryzen 1600 HYGON 3185 (3.4GHz 8C/16T 8MB L3)= Ryzen 1700 HYGON 5130（I forget this） HYGON 7151 (2.0GHz 16C/32T 32MB L3)= EPYC 7281 HYGON 7155 (2.2GHz 16C/32T 32MB L3)= EPYC 7281 HYGON 7185 (2.0GHz 32C/64T 64MB L3)= EPYC 7601 【 HYGON 3000 = RYZEN(BGA) / HYGON 7000 = EPYC(LGA) 】 Author: Yuuki-AnS 1.

SAPPHIRE Announces A Family Of Compact Motherboards Powered By AMD Ryzen Embedded Chips https://wccftech.com/sapphire-announces-compact-amd-ryzen-embedded-motherboards/ This surely has to be AMD getting into the NUC business, the boards look amazing too; Neat!! -
I'm trying to upgrade some hardware components on my Zen AIO 27 UHD. I am reluctant to entirely dismantle the machine, and I'm not very trusting of the systems identification of its own hardware. I believe some of the hardware was made specifically for this computer. At this point I can't even confidently identify where the ram is located to find the proper form factor. Apparently this model was not very popular because there is absolutely zilch online reguarding upgrades to this platform. If you can help me in anyway i would greatly appreciate it!!

I cannot seem to overclock over 4ghz with any reasonable voltage. Running at 4ghz requires over 1.35 volts for me, and trying for 4.1ghz has seen me pushing the voltage over 1.425 with it still crashing in Cinebench R20, even though it will pass in Ryzen Master. I had a stable 1.325 at 4ghz, however, after a few hours of The Forest was not stable in Cinebench and crashed. Any suggestions? Heat is not an issue if temps are being recorded correctly. Using a B450 Gigabyte board.

AMD looks to be keeping the pressure on Intel with many reports saying we could see 5nm chips based on their Zen 4 Architecture by 2021. This going in hand with their constant increase in core count will likely continue their current domination in the workstation and server space. All of this is just more bad news for Intel who is expected to have 7nm by 2022 maybe? Regardless of which side you are rooting for this is good news as a consumer as Intel still has a lot of cards they can play to still compete, the future should be very interesting. https://www.techradar.com/news/amds-5nm-zen-4-cpus-could-arrive-in-2021-really-turning-the-heat-up-on-intel

Hi all, I am very confused. I am looking at the MSI QVL for the board I am thinking of buying to find out which memory would go well with it. The board is the B450 Gaming plus Max (QVL: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PLUS-MAX#support-mem-19). I'm not sure I understand what the 1|2|4 Dimm stands for, does it mean if it only is checked for 1 and 2 Dimms that it won't work (at the reported speed) with 4 Dimms? I want to start of with 16GBs and then expand to 32 if needed (Blender and gaming, possible Unity) Also I am now looking at this GSkill Aegis set since it's relatively cheap, it's present in the QVL and, if I do understand the check-marks correctly, can be used with 4 modules. Is it worth spending about 25 euros more on 3200MHz RAM? Will be using it with a Ryzen 5 3600 to replace a 1231V3 with 16GB DDR3@1600MHz. Thanks

Hey! I wanted to oc my RAM with the DRAM calculator. However, I cant set my TwtrL to 12, only to 9, and my TRFc only goes to 399, instead of 440 Thanks in advance EDIT: Did not see that it was hexadecimal

I found a Ryzen 3 1200 on Amazon for $67. I know it's early, but there shouldn't be any issues using this CPU to flash B450i motherboards for Zen 2, correct? I'm specifically looking at the ASUS and Gigabyte iTX boards for this. And I don't want to pull the 2600 out of my kid's computer constantly for my client builds.

Hi all! I just built my friend a new gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 3600. We are using an Asrock B450m pro 4 motherboard. I was worried about the compatibility, but it claims to be Ryzen gen 3 compatible. We booted into windows (brand new install) and it worked fine for a few minutes then a BSOD, error code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. With each reboot it now does this almost instantly. I booted into safe mode, but to no avail. I tried reseating the ram, sata ports and power, and flashing to the latest BIOS. I did notice something peculiar after booting that first time, which was the temps. The first two cores were normal, around 30 and 40 degrees. However the other 4 cores were reporting about 80, 90, 20 and most strangely, -20. We also got him a brand new SSD, which is what the crashing windows install is on. However, we booted up to his old and bloated hard drive and it didn't crash! We left it up for 30 minutes and it was fine, whereas on the other install it would crash within 5, usually almost instantly. Knowing this, I thought that it might be a windows update issue, because my USB install media was pretty dated. I made a fresh ISO and reinstalled but that didn't work either. I'm kind of at a loss here, thinking maybe I've just got a bad SSD. Do you guys have any thoughts?

Hi! I just received my ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F and i noticed that is has a 8 pin + 4 pin power connection for the CPU, my PSU (A Corsair RM750x) only has the 8 pin connector. Now the manual does say that the 4 pin is optional but i worry about overclocking. Is it worth going for a new PSU? I have used a 4770k at 4,4Ghz before i went for the 3700x and that was always stable with the overclock ( i changed the voltage a bit but i don't remember how much) Thanks in advance!
