Late to the party, but for what it's worth. I went from 5600 to 5700X (i know, sidegrade, but i do x265 encoding and 2 cores are useful). All the rest being the same, the 5700X runs 1-2 C cooler than the 5600 at 100% load. I am very satisfied by the thermal behaviour.

I don't think it's the fault of the dollar. We are seeing price hikes too, while we have Euro, in anything PC related compared to pre-covid19 and even during covid-19. The 3600 got + EUR10 in Amazon, in the last 2 months, i 'd say.

Ha! Americans! My water is so hard that provided this works, the keyboard would be coated with a layer of calcium based deposit... There is a much safer way for membrane keyboards. Just take out the keys (i use a screwdriver as lever), use cotton swabs with 90 degree alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to...

Good grief! I used 2 programs (O&O Shut Up10 and Win10 Privacy something) + disabled all telemetry tasks + group policy to disable anything that seemed telemetry based. And after all that, afer many days from the installation, i get from the firewall, request for outbound connection for ...

I guess it's part of the new MS doctrine of taking over your machine: "Windows knows better. You need US keyboard, admit it! Stop removing it!" o_O

It can be ignored with a bit of cursing and bitching every time you try to change language... It's extremely annoying... That's why there are so many people asking help about this in google. Normally, if you have 2 languages in the language bar, you swap between them, pressing ALT-SHIFT. But...

No... My Win10 installation is too new to be already hacked, i already have disabled all remote desktop related services, i run outbound firewall too and 3rd party antivirus with several scanning engines and HIPS (SecureAPlus Pro) and most importantly, it's an issue known for years... That M$...

Oh,i see... But i swear, when i first installed Win10 and had Cortana disabled, it wasn't showing in the task manager's startup list (even as disabled). After some Win updates, it does. Anyway, i can live with it, since i disabled it. Ah, i didn't know you can uninstall the store, although i did...

Really? I thought they had only those stupid controllers. Ha! What do you know! But then why did i upgrade to Ryzen.... Useful to know for the future though, thanks.

Xbox? No, thanks. I can't stand these things and their "game controllers". I only play with keyboard and mouse.

Actually Skyrim is one of my newest games.Imagine that... But since i play few new games and Skyrim is amongst my favorites, it's big thing for me. Yes, my friend, i have seen what you say, 20 years ago, when i was been advised to start with Kanotix. Same things "you get to know your PC, a new...

Well, a few days later,i 'd say that i have everything figured out... Last was the "Play" section of the start menu, where apparently MS had some proposed apps or games, which i clicked and got downloaded without me realizing how... Another lesson i learnt, is that "Cortana is too hard to die"...

Ah, WINE... I 've heard of this so many years before, had so many hopes. Then i stumbled upon shell comands, as usual... Thanks for the encouragement, but ultimately, i believe there is a good reason of why Linux has still so little user share in desktop. Expert's opinion...

I wish i could run Linux full time, but it's not for me... I have windows dependent applications and games that tie me to Windows. I had decided to stick with Win7, but ultimately, because of covid19 i had to run some applications and i have to use Win10... So i bit the bullet... The funny...

It's my first time of 2 days straight use with Win10 (2004). I thought of staying with Win7, but had to install Win10 for various reasons (covid19 related also). Boy, the amount of time wasted to configure this labyrinth of switches and odd things, was AMAZING! I almost went nuts in particular...

Damn... I got the Crucial Ballistix Elite 3600Mhz and i was sooo happy to see it boot and even finish 3D Mark, where i saw a substantial increase in score. And then i ran Prime95... Error within 5 minutes. So i go back to BIOS (i even flashed the latest BIOS) and set Profile 2 (3333Mhz). I run...

Here in Italy the 3300x was available briefly at "sane" price (around 120 EUR), but now it's only available at Amazon for EUR 170 (1 box remaining only), while the 3600 costs EUR 175. This is pure insanity, yet it seems that there are hordes of people who ran to buy the 3300x at this price...

Unfortunately, i still run v.6.12 of HWInfo, which doesn't show effective clocks. And i intend to stay with this version, since for my taste, it already shows a bit too much, to the point i see it as clutter. I do have CPU-Z though too, in case you 're interested. This is right now, with...

Here's also from HWInfo. Cores drop at idle. For the record, i don't use the latest BIOS, but the last BIOS that MSI had available before the introduction of Ryzen 3000 series (which also brought the simplified GUI).

It's not HWMonitor. It's Open Hardware Monitor. Your CPU should not be running so high clocks all the time. There is either something in the background that is eating CPU cycles or something wrong with your power plan. I am on Win7, using "balanced" and works perfectly. The cores should drop...

My Ryzen 2600 idles at 36C (39C with browser open), with ambient at 27C. CPU fan at 1400RPM out of 2600RPM max. I would suggest better cooler and if possible, put a small fan to blow on the VRM of your motherboard, because speaking from AM3+ experience, the heat from the VRM, ultimately spreads...

I don't see why not, since it's still 3000... The AF models got support automatically on boards that supported Ryzen 2000 series. I checked my MSI A320 VH Pro and without any new BIOS, the Ryzen 3300X and 3100 are now listed as supported, even though the last BIOS and the only one that supports...

I 've always bought AMD, because i always go bang for buck and i consider money spent on PCs, as "burnt" money. I don't bother to resell anything, old parts go to relatives or friends and no matter what you buy, it's going to be obsolete in a few years, either as CPU or as motherboard. So AMD...

I know where you 're coming from. That build you made is super fine and very good bang for buck. I used to do a lot of video encoding and i was always after many cores, but i stopped and now i use the PC for browsing, films and games that are mostly 6-10+ years old. Plus, i want to stay with...

I will answer this, although you didn't ask for my opinion. You don't need 12 cores... And even with the new consoles that comes with 8 core Ryzens, i don't think the 8 cores will be fully exploited, exactly because there is also the PC market that devs have to consider and companies are still...

Yeah, thanks for making me feel better. I keep telling the same to myself... However, many of those "productivity" tests are benchmarks that don't apply in real life. For example, i decompress files that are several GB. I 've never seen 100% CPU use. The 3300X is faster in Lame encoding...

Good God! I only recently bought a 1600AF and i thought it was the best bargain ever! And now this comes! So much for the "more cores are better"... To be completely honest, if i bought the 3300X, i don't know if i should keep the 2600 as main CPU... Because this 3300X seems to be doing...

Same here (rig on signature) and on Windows7.

Thanks, i know... I didn't try it on my MSI B450 Gaming plus where i run my 2600, because i didn't want to remove paste, heatsink, cleaning etc. But in the meantime i 've bought 2 cheap MSI A320 boards (one Max and one normal) and the CPU was detected alright. One had BIOS for Zen+ and the other...

Here in Europe there are plenty of people who have simple needs and don't see much difference between CPUs. Two relatives of mine for their office PCs, still run AM2+ and AM3 Athlon IIs (dual and quad cores) and are perfectly happy for browsing and Word. Nor do gamers run to grab the first...

Alright, i found the 1600AF at EUR100, so since i already had spare parts enough for a 2nd build, i couldn't resist and ordered one. The only thing that bugs me, is that in MSI's website, in the CPU compatibility list, the AF is not mentioned... I hope it will work with Zen+ BIOS... After all, i...

Hynix AFR 3000C15 @ 2933. The settings are basically the DRam Calculator SafePreset with one modification from the Fast preset.

Go to the link i posted, then to post #36 and download the pack (about 850MB). Then i use this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9xhl64b8ve8tjf0/Integrate.7z/file The "DRIVERS" folder is one i made myself with the B450 USB3 drivers for Ryzen 2000. Use them in the "Drivers" folder of the...

Actually this was a stupid remark i made. Win10 will always have updated AMD drivers and Win7 since it won't ever get new updates again, it is impossible to have the modified driver to break. So as long as this driver works fine, Win7 should be fine. If anything, i 'd have to live with the the...

With my 3000C15 kit, it now suggests much looser tras (36 vs 30) and trc (54 vs 42) timings, in the safe 2933Mhz profile. But i 've been running with the older reccommended timings for months with 0 problems.

I can help with that. You can find here 2 different methods of getting all the updates. https://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/421900-installing-win7-after-end-support-4.html Personally i have made my own DVD with slipstreamed the updates + the AMD USB3 drivers for my Ryzen 2600 and...

Thanks. I can make a Win7 DVD or Flash drive with preinstalled USB3 drivers, even if i don't have serva. What's important is to know that your USB ports work normally, because AFAIK the main issue is the USB driver support, which officially doesn't exist for Ryzen 3000 and Win7. So if they work...
