Computer Rigs / Re: My new Ryzen build
« Last post by TrailMyx on April 14, 2017, 04:54:01 PM »
Another interesting thing I just found on this ASUS PRIME B350M-A motherboard I'm using for my Ryzen 1600.  Originally with the BIOS I had on there, I could only use one stick of my ValueRam.  I had bought another non-matching one, and got another for replacement, but it still didn't work.  So I basically had 8GB when I first put this computer together.  But now that I've got this computer up and running, I upgraded the BIOS again to the latest version.  Just for giggles, I tried putting the 2nd 8GB stick into the system and viola, it works this time.  So it's good to see the BIOS updates are already having a very positive effect on RAM compatibility. 

It will be tricky getting your system to a point where you can POST, but when you do I think the BIOS updates will help immensely.

So I got the Ryzen 1600 installed in my new desk computer (which is a hodge-podge of older parts and parts left over from the 1700x build).  Installed Fedora 25 easily and seems to be running smoothly.  In fact, since i cloned my /home directory, I managed to get all my wine/Thunderbird/Firefox etc links all setup.  I'm surprised it went so easy.  It didn't feel like I was wrestling with the black beast of Argh like I was with the 1700x.  Lessons learned I suppose.  Touchy memory, but otherwise very solid.

I'd like a 32" Samsung at that price, but to get even a 28" Samsung 4k 1ms response freesync monitor under 500... Great deal.

I like that monitor.  That's been on my wish list for a while now.  Been stuck at 60hz for a while now.  But finally a computer capable of making a monitor groan!  Yess.

I was just looking at performance comparisons for Ryzen the other day too. I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm going to get also.  ;)  It'll go very nice with my Sapphire 470 8gig. Next will be a Freesync monitor.  Probly something like this Samsung.

I'm actually upgrading my main interwebz desk system with a Ryzen 5 1600.  I'm absolutely shocked about the performance/value you get with this processor.  The 1600 is only $219 for 6/12 cores and comes with a cooling fan.

What sold me was all my Handbrake conversions.  On my previous CPU, I got used to it taking a certain amount of time.  My older 8 core AMD does a respectable job, but I noticed this was MUCH faster with my 1700X.  Like 2x.  Crazy.

No doubt there will be additional headaches since this computer is Linux - Fedora.  Gotta love a challenge though.

I am going to necro this one, anyone currently playing Eve?

Coombs probably still plays. I've been on break for quite awhile though with a lack of time to play these days.
