I ordered the kit when i got my daughters B350
I had a corsair Hydro and H115 and supposedly they didn't have one at the time but that was false
It had one in the box so i ended up keeping it
Smart move Eh ?
Exactly but that was all TV
Off Camera , bet he was a Sailor hahaha Little Joe Cartwright would punch you square for getting just a lil sass with him hahaha
Mike when you tuned your chip did you use a guide or did you take info from the web
I went to OCN and checked out what they were doing most people lock these in at 4.4 getting 4,5 all core is hard from what theyr'e saying
Now i am going to ask about staggering the cores speed wise different speeds for one the 3950x is rated 4.7 Ghz one core i assume ?
So is it possible to lock the cores at the 4.4 and lock 1 in the 4.7 it actually won't make much of a difference but that was kinda the move on the X99 Platform i am feeling the same way about this but let me know if i am wrong this is just out loud thinking
OCing Ryzen is kinda counter productive unless you can OC it to frequency higher than it's top auto boost (PBO) which is pretty rare, need a good dose of luck to win silicone lottery.
Highest boost is only on one core but rest of cores are only about 200MHz lower. If you can't OC to frequency higher than boost, you may be loosing in single core performance. PBO boosts with lightning speed without any noticeable delay so much that some consider it "jumpy".
Habitual overclockers consider it boring but best results are using PBO if you can keep temps up to 62-65c. At 70c boost already starts to get lower. I loose 100MHz as soon as temp goes over 71c, that's why I'm trying to replace my tired AIO.
At that temp I loose 100-150 points in CB r20 for instance.
As i always understood more than 6-8 cores are problematic especially with heat
People are trying to shoot for numbers when the cores are the reason why we bought it
If i wanted to see 5Ghz on every chip i bought then i will stick to intel their good about those things
Clock speeds are just that a number the real performance is the IPC and the pipeline the info runs through bottom line higher clock speed really is pointless when you have raw power like that the memory is usually the one that will shine
Tighter memory stable clock speed a little under the max you can get and the right cooling that thing will boost very well
Basically what i am saying is Ram with Ryzen is key not clock speed and manipulating them both to work well is pretty much key
Yes, relation CPU-RAM is important for Ryzen, more than for Intel and works both ways. CB r20 doesn't show that relation well, PTest shows it better and Geekbench goes crazy. It's also case with memory latency and single channel can kičč performance just like that. Too bad Ryzen unlike threadripper don't work with quad channel memory, There's also a cutoff at RAM frequency at 3733MHz when memory divider falls off 1:1:1 and above that actually looses some of performance gaining it only at 4000MHz and above.
That's some stuff that is supposedly going to be rectified in Zen3 (4000) series. As you probably know, Ryzen 3000 has separate chip for IO including IMC and it doesn't have impact on cores. At same time it's a weak spot which limits memory write to about half the speed of memory read. Fixing that would make a beast of CPU.
