CPU/Mobo AMD Ryzen CPUs launched

Btw, took your advice and ran the system with only 1 stick. Works fine, no crashes yet. Will probably try the other stick after I update the BIOS (maybe after a month).

That's cool. Are you keeping your friend's system for a month, or is it no longer in your possession? :D
 
Oh no...I gave it back...Should have taken pictures, it came out pretty well :)

In my case, it's 3000MHz RAM, so I am somewhat in luck. Going to 2933MHz should remove any processor bottleneck for the RX 480.
 
will check out the video later. I don't know what ram is used. I guess that is key. No luck with latest 0513 bios update for my Asus prime b530-plus mobo recently so im waiting for the next update which I hope comes in a week or two. Else I might just buy ram which is listed as compatible.
 
Me to buying same combo shown above in techyescity videos
Ordered today for cousin giving my 16gb white led kit of vergence at 2666mhz let's see how it goes
He need more core

Guyz any good news on 12 core and 16 core chip from amd with new chip set ...
 
A very nice AMD community update, especially the info about BIOS updates to come early-April and another round in May. I'm still worried about my particular RAM though, whether the next updates will help or not.

Finally, we wanted to share with you our most recent work on the AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture for AMD Ryzen™ processors. We call it the AGESA™ for short.

As a brief primer, the AGESA is responsible for initializing AMD x86-64 processors during boot time, acting as something of a “nucleus” for the BIOS updates you receive for your motherboard. Motherboard vendors take the baseline capabilities of our AGESA releases and build on that infrastructure to create the files you download and flash.

We will soon be distributing AGESA point release 1.0.0.4 to our motherboard partners. We expect BIOSes based on this AGESA to start hitting the public in early April, though specific dates will depend on the schedules and QA practices of your motherboard vendor.

BIOSes based on this new code will have four important improvements for you
  1. We have reduced DRAM latency by approximately 6ns. This can result in higher performance for latency-sensitive applications.
  2. We resolved a condition where an unusual FMA3 code sequence could cause a system hang.
  3. We resolved the “overclock sleep bug” where an incorrect CPU frequency could be reported after resuming from S3 sleep.
  4. AMD Ryzen™ Master no longer requires the High-Precision Event Timer (HPET).
We will continue to update you on future AGESA releases when they’re complete, and we’re already working hard to bring you a May release that focuses on overclocked DDR4 memory.

Interesting...I just hope reviewers will constantly review Ryzen performance after updates. It has potential but is just a big pain to deal with right now.
 
What's if cost near 8 core ryzen which is 24.5k
I will add 5k more for 8 core one
As it's multithread socre 20k par with in cpu z at 4.0ghz and beats 6950x :)

im still waiting for bios update for my asus prime b350 plus board dammit. My RAM is still apparently unstable, at least that is what I suspect right now. Let's see what next bios update brings...
 
So there has been a new beta BIOS version 0605 release for my motherboard just today/yesterday which includes the new AGESA microcode update mentioned in a previous post. I noticed there is a new "ProcODT" setting under the DRAM timing control options in the BIOS - not sure what that is for.

I flashed this beta BIOS a few hours ago and it has apparently fixed the following problems I was earlier facing:

1. My G.Skill RipJaws V 2133 RAM model F4-2133C15D-16GVR 16GB 2x8GB kit was apparently unstable with random crash/reboots in Win10/linux with regular usage and more readily with some stress testing under Prime95/CPUz and now seems to be stable. No sudden reboots so far, so good. CPUz bench/stress numbers also seem to be a tad better - maybe 1-2 percent more. Must be that RAM latency improvement in the new AGESA.

2. During cold startup (after turning off the mains power) the board would restart once then display "overclocking failed" message forcing to press F1 to go into the BIOS. While it still reboots once now the error message isn't displayed but goes on to the OS boot menu. Bootup/POST times seem to be reduced/speeded up too I guess.

3. That FMA3 instruction crash seems to be fixed for me too now. Running the test binary which would earlier trigger a reboot is now passing with multiple runs.

So overall very happy to finally get some solid progress with the BIOS after a month of waiting and nail biting worrying about why my system was unstable.

Hope it stays this way with this BIOS and future updates as well.

This is good news, how is the over clocking with this, especially interested in seeing if it can take the memory to 2933mhz stable.
 
I don't want to mess around with my system for now, since it seems to be stable at stock/auto settings at the moment :D

But earlier I had set my CPU up to 3.3 ghz auto-OC (didn't try more) and my standard 2133 RAM went up to 2400 (this was when the unstable reboots were still happening) but would not boot any higher than 2400.

I guess OC should be fine with this board, with some luck with a good CPU and RAM combo, I don't see why not.

So apparently this "ProcODT" is short for "Processor On-Die Termination", found a link (and some google results) but still no clue what it is, so hesitant to try changing that setting :D
