Overclocking
Overclocking on Ryzen has gotten much easier since the initial Ryzen launch. Things are definitely more stable, especially when it comes to BIOS’s. So on our ASUS Crosshair VI Hero we set the Ai Overclock Tuner to D.O.C.P. Standard since we are going to be running our memory at its XMP profile settings. Then we set our CPU Core Ratio at what we are going for. Typically we see with these chips 3.9 or 4.0 GHz a good stable overclock.
You are also going to want to set the CPU core voltage manually. While we were able to get away with booting at 1.35V our system running at 3.9 GHz on all six cores was not stable until we bumped things up to 1.42V.
The 3.9 GHz overclock was completely stable and even temperatures were really good, right around 66C under full load.
So how does overclocking effect performance? Here are a few tests running the CPU at 3.9 GHz on all six cores.
25.6, 25.8, 26.0…..
Nice graphs @$$hole…
Because starting graphs from 0 is so hard.
Looks like you are trying to confuse, 1 ~ 2 FPS show as huge margin
So, you say the Ryzen is lacking in game performance, but the FPS difference between the it and the i5 was never more than 5fps in your testing. If you had left DX12 enabled, it would have performed better than the i5 in Division. You gave it praise, but it seems like you were doing your best to show it as not being as good as the Intel chips, even though the FPS differences would not be noticeable day to day. Now, if you were giving more data, like minimum frames, etc, it might make your exaggerated graphs seem less biased.
DX12 was enabled in The Division tests. And if you look at the results the Ryzen chips do fall behind in all gaming tests, to Intel chips that are two generations old, even its ~5 FPS its a common theme among our tests and tests we’ve seen from others. No bias just straight results from our tests
That’s all cool, but where are overclocked gaming results? Biggest advantage of this cpu in particular is that it’s unlocked, right? Even with wraith cooler this cpu can be oc-ed to at least 3.8ghz on an average b350 motherboard. This cpu gives great bang for buck, better than all intel chips besides coffe lake and 7700k.
Ridiculous graphs for the gaming benchmarks…showing a zoomed in look at the end of the bars, rather than the whole bar. Gives the illusion that the Intels are much faster when really they are only a teeny tiny bit faster. Just to echo the previous comments below.
Wow, how much did Intel pay you guys? You have zero credibility.
Would you like to elaborate?
