@noidea - since you were kind enough to reply to me earlier.
You should not expect to see segfaults, however you may never experience any real world issues, depending on what you do with it. It isn’t clear how the issue may manifest itself otherwise.
Since they are paying for shipping, you may just want to RMA it.
it’s ok so far, I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue since, and the other issues testing seemed to be resolved by doing what I described. I didn’t really investigate any further.
I hope you have good luck with things from here on.
I had no idea when my Ryzen 7 1700 was made. So I ran ryzen-kill.sh to see what would happen. It failed a few minutes in.
So I disassembled my system and found my chip was made in the 33rd week of 2017 (UA 1733PGS).
So I started playing with various settings as if I were overclocking the system. The longest run I’ve achieved so far is 28,581s (just under 8 hours). That was with vCore at 1.36875. I also tried 1.375. That ran for 5,903s. 1.3875 only lasted 237s.
I’m running with two sticks of Kingston ECC ValuRam (KVR24E17D8/16). Last time I checked, that memory isn’t on the QVL list for my motherboard (ASRock X370 Taichi).
Finally got my replacement for the 1700.
I have run the kill script multiple times on my new CPU. I have to point out that the behaviour changed.
Now I don’t get any errors.
BUT, the kill script doesn’t loop anymore. Means, I execute it, it keeps running till all my 16 threads are done compiling (about 7 hours), then it stops immidiately. No loop.
Before on the faulthy CPU:
I execute, the script runs and produces errors; indifferent a specific thread has produced an error or not, all threads are looping everytime after finishing compiling clean or with error, the script runs ENDLESS.
The script seems to download a gcc - 7.1.0. Furthermore, when testing the CPU the same version of Ubuntu the author used (17.04) should be downloaded. Thus, I think it is still in working condition and as posted above I used roughly three weeks ago…
I did not overclock my 1700X, but I undervolted it without any problems.
Currently I’m using the be quiet! Silent Loop 280. With this AIO my CPU doesn’t go above 35° while gaming. I’ve stress-tested it with prime95, but I forgot the temperature it hit.
But due to an obnoxious pump noise I’m refunding this AIO as well and I got a NXZT Kraken 62 instead.
Even though I like overclocking, right now I’m much more into undervolting since I have no need for the extra performance overclocking offers. That being said, I might change my opinion in a couple of years. Overclocking made Witcher 3 playable on my 2500k
