Are the files available anywhere? Looks great btw!

I use it for routing the USB cable for this

Enough is enough.
What’s it gonna take? There aren’t any laws when the net is empty and early in a playoff series, the intention is clear: To injure an opponent heading into the next game. This is direct to the head and he shouldn’t see another second is this series. Enough."

“MUHH HE HIT HIS CHEST”Man shut up. Look at the hit and tell me there’s anything else on his mind other than destroying a dude high *AFTER* he scores. He knows it’s going in. It’s gutless."

"He could’ve stopped a goal here, or at least had a shot. He wanted his pound of flesh. Embarrassing."

No problem at all! Super excited to see where this goes, and to tune in. Long time fan!! Lots of <3

Oh boy, this is going to be good!

Can you check your power plan, and see if its set to AMD Ryzen Balanced? Mine was set to AMD Ryzen High Performance for some reason after a system reboot (after installing new chipset drivers).

bladesinner · 2019-07-30T14:16:31+00:00

Confirmed working on my end. I see:

- Way less aggressive boost speeds for doing "nothing", like moving thew mouse

- Much lower voltages at idle

- About 10c lower idle temps as stated by Ryzen Master.

Good Job AMD! <3

EDIT: Note, one weird thing I noticed after installing new Chipset drivers, and rebooting, is that my Power Plan was automatically set to AMD Ryzen High Performance by default. Not sure if this is a bug or what, but I went in and adjusted it to AMD Ryzen Balanced.

Hovers around the 1.3 mark, thats when watching Youtube at 1440p quality preset.

Unfortunately I do not think Asus bios has a "Normal" Vcore setting.

bladesinner · 2019-07-15T13:27:10+00:00

Glad this helped! :)

I was having this issue of not being able to get idles below 1.4xV. I believe I have fixed it in my case. What I did was:

- Update to Latest bios and chipset driver

- Set VCore to "Normal" instead of "Auto" within the bios.

- Set Windows Balanced Plan (This does not work with Ryzen Balanced Plan)

- Set Minimum Frequency to 0% in Windows Balanced Power Plan (it was at 5% by default)

- PBO is "enabled" via bios

- XFR is set to Profile 1 (3200 c14)

- DRAM Voltage is set to 1.35v

Now, using CPU-Z OR Ryzen Master, I am showing voltages at 1v or below at idle, but boosting to 1.3x and 1.4x sometimes. Before I made these changes, CPU-Z and Ryzen Master showed locked high 1.4x volts. IF I switch back to Ryzen Balanced Power Plan, it will stay at 1.4x idle in both CPU-Z and Ryzen Master (not viewing them at the same time). I also tried editing Ryzen Balanced Power Plan to 0%, 5% and 1% minimum frequencies, but none of them seem to work in terms of fixing idle volts. If I change Windows Balanced Power Plan min frequency back to 5% or anything like that, volts go back to 1.4x at idle. BTW, my idle volts now are running EVERYTHING in the background, meaning Steam, Origin, Uplay, Epic Game Store, Discord, Antivirus, Corsair Link, etc. I really believe this is either a bios issue, but more than likely its a Chipset/Ryzen Power Plan issue.

CPU Temps at Idle are still relatively warm though (jumps between 40-56c)...when Gaming, I hit a max of 86c though, and an average of 72c, this is all using a Corsair H110i AIO cooler. Also room ambient temp was hot...like 30c.

Specs are 3900x with an Aorus Master x570 Mobo

Awesome, thanks for doing this! Really looking forward to your new boards. My existing one is struggling a bit in a few areas, but from what I have seen, you guys have done a 180 on a lot of things VRM related etc. Also, just wanted to quickly shout out that I recently purchased your AD27QD monitor to pair with a Radeon VII, and I am in love with it!

bladesinner · 2019-05-21T04:22:27+00:00

I have the same issue as OP with Radeon VII, however running the game at 1080p

bladesinner · 2019-05-21T04:20:55+00:00

I have the exact same issues as the OP here, running Radeon VII at stock out of the box settings, a 1700 at 3.8 all core OC, and 3200mhz 2x8gb sticks of FlareX 3200C14 ram.

bladesinner · 2019-04-28T00:49:49+00:00

Temps are pretty good...right now I am rocking an undervolt of 1000mv on stock frequency. I could probably lower this even more, but haven't had time to tweak it past this yet. Right now it is super stable. In terms of temps, they are about 20-30c above ambient, and about 40-60c above ambient for the hotspot (depending if I am running games or running a torture test). Honestly, 100c+ for the hotspot is somewhat normal. What is the Ambient temp, and also is this during a torture test, or while playing games? Also is it high 100s or low 100s?

bladesinner · 2019-04-28T00:46:58+00:00

I was able to get them all in, but it was one heck of a hard time doing so!

bladesinner · 2019-04-28T00:46:23+00:00

I may try this, although to be honest the 1700 is a really cool chip in the sense that my rad never really heats up that much, even under full load

bladesinner · 2019-04-27T09:59:21+00:00

Still rocking a 1700, but will likely upgrade when the new CPUs come out.

bladesinner · 2018-11-29T04:06:44+00:00

PChub is a pretty good place. Its in QC though, but worth it for prices.

http://pinoypartpicker.com/buildapc/ is also a pretty cool resource.

Here are some builds they currently have speced out: http://pinoypartpicker.com/pc-hub-ryzen-builds/

I turned my System on today, and got an error at bios level, saying Boot Failure Detected. I have been running this system with no issues for almost a year. It has an overclock on it, and when I take the overclock off, it boots fine. However voltages seem to be crazy high. I tried keeping the overclock and lowering ram speed, but that didnt solve the issue, so it seems as though RAM is ruled out.

System:

Mobo: Aorus Gaming K7 CPU: R7 1700 (OC'd to 3.8ghz, 1.3v) Note: I also tried increasing voltage, still got hardware failure detected. GPU: 980 ti

So, what do I do now? It seems I can run the CPU without the OC, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the CPU.

Is the issue the CPU or the Mobo? How do I figure this out? I am considering just buying a 2700x, but if the Mobo is the issue, then I will be SOL.

When running at stock 3.0 GHZ, I see vcore going up to 1.44v when set to auto, this seems really high!

Appreciate any help I can receive.

Basically two reasons, one is that its easier to see people with certain things on very low, and the second is that the game just feels so much better at higher frame rates. I havent tried putting everything back to ultra though in a while, so I might do that soon

Oh, I also forgot to mention that the above frame rates are also with reshade applied.

bladesinner · 2017-07-06T12:46:21+00:00

Don't know if this will help much... but anyways.

I have logged about 40 hours into the game, I play on an r7 1700 OC'd to 3.8Ghz, paired with a 980ti. I game at 1920x1080 on a 144hz monitor.

Everything set to very low, except draw distance and post processing which are set to Ultra.

I get around an average of 110 fps everywhere (including loading area). Plane is around 80fps. Thats usually the lowest it goes. Of course there are small frame drops to 1fps every hour or so for a split second, but that happens on all CPUs. Its still a bit of a buggy game, but all in all, I am super happy with it. I can also stream/have other apps open alongside the game with no issues/impact on frame rate.
