Looks like this listing went down the day the Tom's Hardware article was published. The item would have been bought by whichever competitor was able to put together a (relatively) untraceable payment first.

Once upon a time, a little girl found a corporation by the side of a river, crying. "Why are you crying?" asked the little girl. "Because [the corporation replied] I must cross the river, and I can't swim!" So the little girl put the corporation on her back, and swam across the river...

Always sounded like it wasn't coming to US in any case. I hadn't heard that memory was pared down to 10GB.

I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G on an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard, with 2x16GB G Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 (b-die). I use the apu's igpu for 1080p gaming, and I bought the G Skill to overclock, in order to optimize igpu/Infinity Fabric performance. Things are going pretty well, sort of. On one...

Thanks very much for this, question answered.

Is this AGESA update supposed to improve any AM4/DDR4 improvements? The promo materials mention "improved stability" without specifying AM5 and/or DDR5, but I don't see anyone talking about AM4/DDR4 improvements (or failures). I guess it's last-gen platform and components, but I'm still trying...

I've found that, on my Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AI Tweaker settings are more stable than AMD Overclocking settings. That includes cpu and memory overclocks. Having said that, I haven't spent as much time with AMD Overclocking as I have with AI Tweaker. Honestly, I just want whichever one I use...

As someone else mentioned, it may be labeled "DOCP" in BIOS. I've got a different board and socket (Asus Prime B550-PLUS, AM4), but I enter DOCP/XMP voltage and primary timings manually without issues. Should work for you.

That's a very good point, I hadn't realized that this release is related to the recent AGESA update. Does AGESA include most/all of most AMD boards' Advanced settings, or is it just the settings included under AMD Overclocking (and maybe AMD CBS)? edit: I'm actually undecided whether to stick...

I've got an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G apu and 2x16GB of G Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16. I've been working on overclocking the RAM, with 4000 as my target. The RAM passes 3+ hours of OCCT stress testing at 4000 (after getting through memtest86 at stock), which...

Only way to be sure is to try it yourself. Congrats!

I wish I had those timings! My Ripjaws are 16-19-19-39. Looser than those b-dies, but tighter than the Corsair. Thanks very much for timings btw. I'm still undecided about whether to tighten 3600mhz timings, or work to get 2000 FCLK, like I did with the CL18 Corsair, but with better timings...

Thank you for reminding me about ratio, I keep forgetting about DDR. Sorry if I confused anyone. I did more reading about my new build (general AMD stuff + Ryzen-specific info), and went ahead and swapped the Corsair RAM out for 2x16GB G Skill Ripjaws V 3600 CL16, which is dual rank (if CPUZ...

I've got a kind of niche need in terms of monitors. I just built a new, inexpensive rig with an AMD 5600G. I don't have a graphics card yet. I mostly play old games like SupCom 1/2 and StarCraft 2, plus newer ones like Factorio, at 1080p, and the 5600G's igpu does an amazing job of running...

It sounds like RAM/fclk stress-testing should involve simultaneous use of high-demand programs (e.g. 3+ hours of Prime95 Large FFTs and OCCT VRAM test at the same time). Is that how folks are testing their RAM/fclk overclocks?

I should mention that OCCT has a vram test that seems useful.

I've been wondering about keeping the 2:1, looking for more info about decoupling and performance. I think the Corsair Vengeance RAM is overachieving here, which is okay (I was able to boot at 4400/2200, but it was a strain). I may decouple and raise fclk and run some benchmarks.

I've got a pretty high overclock on mid-tier RAM: 4200mhz, with mostly same timings as 3600mhz, at same volts (1.35v). I'm using 2x8GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600, with a Ryzen 5 5600G cpu, on an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard. I'm pushing RAM and fclk settings because I rely on the...

I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G cpu in an Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard, with Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600mhz RAM. I play old games, and the igpu on the chip runs them surprisingly well. Now I'm trying to tweak the igpu, and that also involves RAM and fclk settings (fclk = igpu memory clock)...

Yeah, this is one of those situations where there's irony or something.

This is what I'm trying to do now. Auto cpu volts at stock 3.7ghz were pretty high before I started changing settings (1.4+ at times, ridiculous). They've gone down a bit since I undid my overclock, though I have no idea why, but I'm glad that it's now generally under 1.4v. PBO seems to work...

I did a bunch of runs of Cinebench at stock and overclock settings...stock multi/single with PBO averaged higher than overclock. I've been reading a lot about PBO, so it wasn't traumatic. Back to stock, with Auto volts, unless they're too high.

Thanks very much for replies! The things that I plan to do that will challenge this cpu are mostly gaming-related. I play old games (like StarCraft 2 and SupCom 1/2) and Factorio at 1080p (might go to 1440), and I love eye candy, so I like to play them maxed out. RTS-type games do benefit...

I just spent a couple of weeks taking a $99 cpu from 3.7ghz to 4.2ghz on a $129 motherboard (Asus Prime B550-PLUS) with some decent performance RAM (2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600). I haven't overclocked a new chip for over a decade, and I didn't put this build together to overclock. The...

I'm working on the igpu, still studying up. I've used BIOS GPU Boost, and it improved image quality and performance (Extreme = 400mhz bump), but it also overvolts igpu (1.15-2v), so I'm probably gonna bring that down, which looks do-able in BIOS. I seem to be getting image quality and...

Apologies for simple question, I just got back into overclocking after being away for awhile. My home office build went down after more than a decade, so I put together an "emergency" build with limited funds: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, Asus Prime B550-PLUS motherboard with 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4...

I'm probably going to do that eventually, but right now, I'm mostly playing old games (Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander 1/2, StarCraft 2) or less-demanding newer games, like Factorio, and I'm playing them on a 1920x1080 monitor. Those games play surprisingly well through the igpu, maxed...

Not sure exactly where to put this, it's a question about overclocking an integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) through a motherboard's BIOS. Specifically, I'm trying to overclock/tweak the iGPU on my AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, which I believe is a Radeon Vega 7. This can be done through software...

Is that what gives me stutter in BF4? May give it a try now.

Thanks for response! Disabled boost is what's keeping me from trying that BIOS. Not sure I'd do better than current settings (1120 clock, 1264 boost). Also, sort of worn out re: dealing with heat from raised vcore over past few summers.

What's your vcore? Does the BIOS disable Boost? Thx.

Now the question is, where are they? I got one last week, was hoping to pick up another in a month or so, at a similar price ($710). Now they're out of stock everywhere, or available at very inflated cost. Is this card gone, and not coming back? edit: Never mind. They're around. I...
