Okay if the IP theft here is so inevitable, why hasn't it been done before? Seriously, Hygon is an AMD puppet company and the fab company is probably filled with AMD engineers, this is secure as it can get.

Alternate hypothesis: AMD let Zen get completely reverse engineered and China cut AMD loose within a year. Say, how long has it been since Epyc "launched"? Oh right, a year.

Or, here me out, this is because the Chinese government is paranoid as gently caress and wants processors with their own custom security/backdoors? AMD has been cut loose because AMD is controlling the design and production at each step.

Is there any point really in clocking a 2700x?

Doesn't clocking disable xfr which gives a higher boost to two cores then is easy to achieve by clocking?

Also if anyone has any tips on getting high speed memory running, such as what voltages to goose, I'd appreciate it.

Not sure about voltages for memory, but no don't bother overclocking a 2700X, XFR and PBO are waaay better at eeking out every ounce of potential the chip has, and safely as well. About the only time you want to manually OC is when you are doing something very highly threaded, and even then if you give XFR and PBO enough thermal headroom they'll push all cores as hard as they can anyway.

XFR3 and PBO3 will probably solve the core selection issues XFR2 and PBO2 have, and may even have built in protections so if they detect garbage VRMs they won't push as hard, so you couldn't even junk your board if you wanted to.

My board supports 3466 and my 3600 memory runs at 3466 and no higher despite throwing power at it. I can tighten up most of my primary timings, but the system refuses to even try running the TC faster than xmp. Kind of odd.

My 2600x will boost to 4.25 GHz but will instantly freeze at the suggestion that it clock any higher at all manually.

I haven't tried very hard yet, but I guess I should be happy that everything just works beyond expectations out of the box.

If I understand XFR2 correctly the CPU will auto clock as many cores to max speed as your thermal headroom supports anyway, so a manual overclock isn't worth the hassle since there is a hard upper bound on clock speed with Ryzen(+).

I'm glad I waited to get my 2600x instead of buying in during last year's growing pains, though. My Asus Prime X470-Pro didn't have any issue identifying my 3200 RAM and I haven't had a single issue with the BIOS or drivers. Beyond you guys helping me re-select the balanced power profile everything has worked perfectly out of the box.

Der8auer went dicking around with an EPYC 7601 to theorycraft 2990X things. Turns out running Cinebench on the EPYC in quad channel mode results in ~3800 points, whereas octochannel results in ~5200 points. I guess a quad die Threadripper will be gimped in certain scenarios.

E - ah, it's not stable. Blue screen, and it's now booting into fail safe mode I guess. gently caress, it boots fast though. Faster then z170 ultra fast boot in normal boot mode.

Feb 28, 1985


Ya. I'll bump the memory voltage up to 1.45 tomorrow and check it out. I'm surprised it even booted.

My temps in the bios are insane. 58C idle. Ryzen Master is reporting 30C idle, 63C loaded in OCCT, and the block / rad / back of board are barely warm, and the voltages are totally sane... so I'm trusting Ryzen Master. It's boosting fine up to 4.225GHz so I think it's just bios gently caress. Asrock X470 ITX.

What other programs are known good for checking temps with Ryzen 2700+?

If you've only tried the XMP profile, try disabling XMP, manually setting the Memory Clock to 4000, leaving all of the advanced timing configuration (except procODT and your ram/soc voltage) to auto. Ryzen boards have gotten quite good at finding their own set of stable timings. Like I mentioned previously, CL14 3600 will run faster (by literally a couple nanoseconds, or even several depending on subtimings) than CL16 4000, so you might want to try for that instead.

Try setting ProcODT to 80 Ohms (You can go as low as 68 or 60 with an AIO, but try 80 first), and lowering SOC voltage (Try 1.0125 and work upwards) before you increase ram voltage past 1.4v. 1usmus, the guy that wrote the Ryzen Timing Calculator also wrote a great primer on voltage settings and their effect on temperatures/stability: https://www.overclock.net/forum/26472770-post445.html. You totally can just throw 1.5v at the ram and cross your fingers, and it might pass stress tests, but it will totally fuckin crash in the middle of your 20 hour render/gaming session and piss you off.

Contrary to what a lot of people are telling you to do, you'll actually want to find the lowest ram voltage it'll cold boot with and then bump it 0.01 above that. Unlike Intel, which can drop memory channels and get into all sorts of extremely wonky states, with Ryzen, if it boots and passes stress tests, you can trust it.

Failing that, you'll want to actually use his guide to fill out the calculator correctly so that it can just generate the complete list of subtimings, voltages, RZQ settings, etc.

I TRIED TO BAIT THE TXPOL THREAD WITH THE WORLD'S WORST POSSIBLE TAKE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID AVATAR.
While it might result in a few extra (like, maybe 1-10 depending on the size of the die), it would increase complexity of handling since cutters would have to cut in three directions (and waste slightly more from the cut; see pythagoras) AND be able to pick up the triangular die safely and easily. I don't know if they get picked up by grabbers or by vacuum, but if its grabbed, then you'd have to pick it up from all 3 sides. Not to mention changing all of the design libraries since you'd be wasting space in the tips otherwise. You would also have to work with it in sets of two (a complete rectangle) as piecewise tools such as testers rely on each die being exactly the same (not to mention final products!) I'm sure there are some other things I'm missing but this is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Seems to me like it'd be pretty easy to lose a lot of chips to damage on the narrow tip ends too. Plus those tips are probably difficult to use efficiently, imagine trying to cram furniture in the corner of a triangular room and still having room to path to it.

This is true. I didn't really think voltage would solve it. He probably needs to either increase timings or lower clock speed (and maybe decrease timings?)

Don't take this as raining on the parade but even The Stilt did not find that most Ryzen second-gen dies in AM4 would be able to achieve stability with DDR4-3600, to say nothing of DDR4-4000. G.Skill's trick memory demo at Computex earlier this year topped out at 4000 MT/s and unspecified voltage. My own experience with a 2700X and Memtest86+ showed that stability erodes past 3466, even if 3600 RAM will boot. Awesome that it even booted but the mean is back at 3466-ish unless some huge change has happened between the launch and now.
