Alright, turns out I’m an idiot. … again Or Asus is. Depends on how you look at it.
I thought it should be enough for the motherboard to detect the new memory after switching and just enabling D.O.C.P again. Big fat nope, it seems to remember some of the subtimings and that was probably causing my issues. I have to confirm it still but it makes sense to me.
This might also have been the case for Steve in his Ryzen 5 2600 video.
… goddammit. It just threw another error in prime.
Ryzen 7 2700 @ stock, Trident-Z 3200 C14, Asus prime X370 pro with UEFI 4008.
Reset to default settings and then enable D.O.C.P. Nothing else.
I should be getting the ASRock B350 ITX today, hopefully that board will fix this shit.
If it is the CPU, I would be a bit pissed.
WOW! I just tried to max out the CPU fan to rule out temps as an issue and prime was just spitting errors everywhere. Gonna plug the fans into molex (#FUCKYOUMOLEX) and try again.
WTF?
So after plugging the fans into molex (tFCKtMlx!!) I am still getting prime errors but far far less than when the fans where maxed out on the board.
Linux support is looking good so far on Ryzen gen 2:
the overall Linux experience has been great for launch day with no problems to report when using modern Linux distributions aside from the k10temp driver reporting incorrect CPU temperatures at least as of the Linux 4.16 kernel.
Since I’m probably going to build a new PC in this year I’ll probably go with ryzen.
But then, how much RAM can I put on that thing? Is 64 GB max or can I buy even more later by using larger sticks of ram?
Um… source? I posted that question because of this:
That implies that Ryzen should be able to support more than 64 GB of RAM, but there is just no such sticks available right now.
On the other hand ASUS website https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/specifications/ implies that 64 GB of ram is the maximum. 4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
I’m just curious if I would ever get more than 64 GB on that CPUs (maybe 128GB?).
That is really nice to see. I hope we will see this leading to more memory profiles on the mainboard side. I know I won’t manually set every single subtiming but … hey ASRock, you have plans for the next weeks?
Good video and it shows again how little there is to gain with a manual overclock.
Basically get a 2600/2700 for SFF and one of the X models if you have cooling.
And don’t bother overclocking.
I had ordered two 2700 initially because I didn’t want to deal with the temp offset when overclocking. I haven’t opened the second one and I will switch that for a 2700X. This generation is basically the exact opposite of the first one.
I do agree. The news is AMD have made a CPU out of the box for the everyman hits max clocks. Intel K parts etc are for the nerds.
AMD is hitting a win hear making there processors just work well. Its only us tech enthusiast that know this now. It will bleed into mainstream and AMD will be the simple build a computer and it run at max.
I am interested in what intel will do vs AMD’s CPU at max out of the box.
