Ryzen 1700 on the ASUS Prime B-350 Plus motherboard

Tnx. it's a start, CPU mark is real good and that's what interests me most. That's already past 7700 at 5 GHz.

Great review @kipper.But, don't give us the junk that you are not an expert. I know who you are and I know what you did. Fess up. :)

LOL.....Steve my friend, I retired over 7 years ago from reviewing and pretty much went into hibernation if you will......

So much has changed over the past few years it is like I have come out of a coma and have to get back up to-date and these new AMD toys seem like a good starting point to get back in the game.......

I'm still stuck at legacy BIOS so much to learn again although all my life I hack and OC everything in sight.

The game is the same, just the tools and the methods have changed.

Well, yes. Some of us 'old timers' still do it the same old way. Every new architecture that has come out, has a few different twists and turns, some more than others. We just have to figure those out. They have come out with some new "auto overclocking" utilities, but us old guys almost never use them.

The game of making the CPU and GPU go faster than it was designed to go is exactly the same. Tactics and methods are all that changes.

I just started a new thread regarding RAM for Ryzen.......hope this helps others.....

Thought it best to be a separate thread so it does not get lost in this friendly semi on-target conversation here......LOL

Good, see you there, I haven't decided on RAM yet.
