My Corsair memory has been working fine for me with my i5-7600k. I'd blame the immature Ryzen platform that's known to have memory issues more first.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:That was with beta pre launch hardware. All the AM4 stuff out there now is as easy to reset as any other PC. AM4 versus X299, which one requires gentler motherboard handling?

The problem is what if fixing that requires a chip revision? Buying Ryzen is really iffy if you know you need a feature that doesn't work and may not work on your silicon ever?

well why not posted:It's not a Ryzen, problem it's a Phanteks problem and even more so, a Jay problem for not researching how much airflow the case has. what jay is perfect in every way shape and form and how dare you imply that the guy who once drilled through a motherboard ever does anything wrong

FaustianQ posted:The Ryzen naming scheme and recent patents give me the impression there is no marketing department, the engineers just ask the guys who run a d20 modern DOOM campaign in the break room because "they're good with names". A d20 Modern DOOM campaign is the worst idea. Holy poo poo. Also EPYC is the worst name, especially since it's a server processor not a gaming part.

ufarn posted:It is pretty weird that so few bother to do more extensive testing with different components. Like AMD or not, there are clearly some different results depending on game, graphics card, and even RAM. If you watch the LTT video, they mention they couldn't do a full set of tests yet. It's a review of the Alienware, not a full teardown of the entire platform.

That's especially ironic, since ian Cutress himself wrote a very clear, very opinionated guide about what XMP is and why people leave performance on the table by not enabling it.

It's a beta, SMT isn't working, Ryzens are good CPUs.

Combat Pretzel posted:I wonder if Intel's going to try to made that Larrabee crap work again. I doubt it. That found a comfortable spot as Xeon Phi, and Intel doesn't need to replace all GPUs ever everywhere, just have a competitive product. The idea I've seen people suggesting so far is a scaled-up version of Iris Pro graphics for the immediate feature, while Raja and his team work on a new architecture for three or so years from now.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:No, it's not. "Consistent" modifies "improving" in that sentence, so it should be an adverb. Then "with the timeline we shared" doesn't mean anything at all. What it actually needs is a comma to split it into two phrases: [Yields are improving], [consistent with the timeline we shared during our last earnings report].
