How much of an improvement can I expect for gaming if I upgrade from 1700 to 3700X?
Short answer, definitely will have better performance in both average frame rates and definitely better 0.1 percent lows.

Long answer, how much depends on the GFX you are using, at what resolution you game on, what games you play etc.

I think Ryzen will have a "fine wine" effect. Game engines will become more and more thread aware, Windows OS and game engine compilers will start to optimize for the Ryzen CCX structure... All of the advantages Intel has now with compilers.

:s13: I'm on gigabyte x470 board with F40c bios Agesa 1.0.0.3ab and so far yet to see bugs:o

So is 4000mhz possible on an X470 board?

:D

any benefits...hardly:s13:

Looks like this 10AB BIOS also does not auto-adjust the NB frequency for you, screenshot still shows low speed IMC. Anyway, you can try to manually adjust it.


Here's what The Stilt says.

The Stilt said:
CPU-Z Northbridge Frequency
The "Northbridge Frequency" displayed by CPU-Z is NOT the FCLK (fabric) frequency. Instead it is the frequency of the memory controller itself (UCLK). Normally both FCLK and UCLK operate at the same speed (MEMCLK). When FCLK and MEMCLK are desynchronised, UCLK will be set to 1/2 mode. Regardless if you lower or raise it below / above the MEMCLK. For example, if MEMCLK = 3200MHz and FCLK is anything else than 1600MHz, the UCLK frequency will be MEMCLK / 2 (i.e. 800MHz).

No third party software (for the time being) can monitor FCLK frequency.

Anyone encounter their ryzen 3000 clock speed drop below the base clock?

My 3600, did drop to 3.4 for a few core when on windows 10 High performance plan, there was one 3 cores stuck at 500mhz

Bios version ? driver ?
Same observation here on 3900x, trying to understand the patterns as I run more stress test, 1 or 2 cores drop to 3100 during benchmarking.

On X52 AIO, rock solid but not exciting. Ryzen 3000 has very little room for OC, will try under-volting approach to see if can achieve all cores 4.3Mhz stable.

3600 is definitely a good buy, comparable or even better then 3900x on singlecore!


On Ryzen Master, idle clock can be as low as 115, then shoot up to 4100. Could be observer bug.. On the NZXT cam, idle at 4441MHz this definitely a bug!

On 1.0.0.3 too, jump from 1700 to 3600 2 core less but much better core speed

Please do not undervolt the chip or set a maximum processor state of 99%. These are ineffective and/or detrimental changes.

Haha...Too late already undervolt, and the verdict
waste of time...

Looks good. You can also consider DDR4-3600 CL16 as this seems to be the sweet spot.
