Mine was a reference model with a single fan so that thing ran loud and hot. It did play games well I'll give it that much.

Building my PC with a 3900xt CPU and ddr4 3600mhz memory. I remember the being she unique relationship between infinity fabric clock and memory clock for amd processor performance, and to keep the ratio at 2:1 (so 1800mhz fclk for 3600mhz mclk), is that necessary or is there no real performance difference? Bios says 'auto' sets fclk to equal mclk (which I don't think is possible since fclk can't go that high so I'm not sure what auto is doing, maybe down locking the memory), but I can manually set 1800 for the Infinity fabric frequency.

DDR operates at, predictably, Double Data Rate, which means an EFFECTIVE data rate of 3600MHz, since it signals on the rise AND fall of the signal. 1800 FCLK matching 1:1 with a 1800 MCLK is the correct setting.

Terrible GPU but best value ever. I sold a Kickstarter era Star Citizen account to some dude on Reddit in like 2014 and bought a 290X with the proceeds. Ended up giving the 290X to a friend when I bought a 1070, then traded the 1070 and a few hundred bucks to a different friend for a 1080 Ti. In the year 2026 I will finally buy an RTX 3080.

I got one to toss into a DeskMini for another project I have in mind, because apparently I just can’t bring myself to use a VM like a normal person in 2021. It’s going to be 99% headless and rather than deal with popping in / out a GPU, I’ll take whatever shows up on the 5700G. Forgot it got robbed of cache though, but… it’s also in-stock at MSRP. (That project uses GovCloud / export-controlled Office 365 which is just a pain in the loving rear end to co-exist with non-GovCloud stuff and at this point it just needs its own loving computer and I’ll just RDP into it).

A bit of poking around shows people running them (blogs and phoronix test suite runs) under kernel 5.13+, though some note that you may need a git version of linux-firmware if you're not on a rolling release distro.

Some questions on power usage. I've got a 3900X and I'm looking at Ryzen Master seeing 20-35W core power at 1.15V average, sitting at the desktop doing nothing. 1% CPU usage. Peak frequency hanging around 800MHz. This is using the basic Windows balanced power plan. If I switch the power plan to "power saver", power usage instantly drops to 5-7W core at 0.45V. Nothing else changed, it's still sitting there doing nothing, just doing nothing a lot more efficiently. However this mode limits the maximum frequency to 50% which is a real drag when speed is actually required. I'd like it always to ramp down when idle but also allow maximum performance. However Windows is dumb and if I configure the maximum CPU performance to 100% in the power saver plan, it simply ignores it and still limits the frequency to half. It seems like none of the CPU settings in Windows power plans do anything at all. Any idea how to get the best of both worlds here? I tried the Ryzen power plans but there's no difference.

Make sure you set your memory to XMP so it isn't running at default speeds. Thanks. With everything on auto, memory in windows shows 1066/2133 MHz so I'm not sure why it's not running at 1800/3600 by default. I did see that the timings in window are much different )(15-15-15) vs what the memory specs are (18-22-22, which is also shown in bios XMP profile), so I wonder if the automatic settings are changing everything to optimize it in some way. Either way, it sounds like manually setting frequency of fclk and memory to 1800 is the way to go?

The 5900x I have is running at 90C on heavy load and I'm starting to thing I maybe did something wrong when I installed a noctua d15s. My previous build was with a 4790k also with a noctua.. something and I never saw CPU temps spiking this much or going that high. Is this just normal for this gen of Ryzen CPUs or did I gently caress something up?

I actually had to remove the noctua and put it back as I stupidly mounted it upside down (so no room for the first PCIe slot). I redid a similar pea blob from the first time that got very nice circular coverage across the entire CPU, so hopefully it's not that. Also made sure all fans are going front to back including the noctua one

Enable XMP, leave FCLK/MCLK on Auto (1:1) and you'll have your 1800/3600 and your timings set to auto should also set correctly from switching XMP on.

If not, maybe reset the cmos, go into bios and only change XMP to on and touch nothing else. Save & reboot and see what is being reported in Windows.

3600 might not actually work even if you have a 3600 kit because overclocking rams and memory controllers isn't exactly an exact thing. my brother's pc doesn't run on 3600 with xmp so he just runs at 3200 now

Averaging mid 70s now after turning it from auto to off. Wasn't the GPU, that is and was running at about 75 as well. I throttled it back since my previous card (2080) decided to commit suicide while I was playing CK3, so I prefer to be extra cautious.

If they can make 8-core F-sku EPYCs, they can make 16-core TRs. This is the world that per-core licensing has pushed us into.

After ignoring it for 8 months, I've started messing with the curve optimizer with my 5600X and am pretty happy with the results. I tried to take it slow and careful by going in increments of -5, one day at a time since I heard that instability can commonly occur in low-workload or idle situations that can only be exposed through normal use. For me, instability happened immediately on startup once I upped the offset to -25. Many of my desktop icons wouldn't load, and there was some unresponsiveness. I tried to restart the system and the start menu wasn't registering my clicks. So yeah, I force restarted, set the offset back to -20, and it's been stable for the couple weeks since then. Temps have been better during lightly threaded workloads, and i'm hitting higher boost frequencies (+150MHz or so) during all-core workloads. This is at the default power limit (PPT maxing out at around 75W). I guess it's possible to go further with the cores Ryzen Master marks as your best, but I'm just sticking with an all-core offset for now. This seems like something that's probably worth experimenting with for most Zen 3 owners. It's a fairly low-risk way of improving thermals and eking out some extra performance since this is really just an undervolt. (if anything, doing this is better for your CPU's health, no?)
