#Cinebench score lower after overclock update

Note that the Intel series and the 1800X haven’t been retested with the new updates, so anything which impacts Ryzen could theoretically also impact Intel (on the Windows or game update side). We might as well add these in to the original tables. Compared to the original results, which had b6MHz memory on the 3.9GHz OC, we have moved up about 2.4% from 125.7FPS AVG to 128.7FPS AVG. Looking next to overclocking, we see the 1700X at 3.9GHz with 3466MHz memory is placing at around 129FPS AVG, or roughly 1.9% ahead of the 1700X at 3.9GHz with 2933MHz memory. That’s an improvement of about 1.6% by going from 2933MHz to 3466MHz with the Windows update and EFI update included. Starting again with Metro: Last Light, the 3466MHz 1700X with stock clocks sees a performance bump from 123FPS to 125FPS AVG, with lows effectively identical around 80FPS 1% and around 51FPS 0.1%. R7 1700X + 3466MHz Overclock – Metro: Last Light Note that we don’t particularly recommend the 1700X, given the deal that is the R7 1700 by comparison when overclocking, but we’re using it because it’ll allow for the most linear presentation of data. We’re using the 1700X for this, since all of those tests were conducted most recently and were conducted on 2933MHz base. Working on that for a day gave us stability and timings we were happy with benchmarking. This is mostly guess and check work and takes the majority of the time required. Improvement to performance is from lower CL timings as much as it is from higher frequency – so far, we’ve seen that Ryzen cares about both.Ī lot of the tuning is figuring out whether your R7 chip responds better to reference clock tuning or memory multiplier tuning, then figuring out if you want to operate from a base 24x, 26.66x, or 32x multiplier on the memory. Our previous results (2933MHz) used the Corsair Vengeance LPX kit at CL16. We were able to hit 3600MHz, but it was not stable for actual load usage with beneficial timings. Thanks to EFI updates, direct support from Buildzoid and ASUS, and support from GSkill, we were able to walk through about 6 hours of memory training and tuning to establish a stable overclock of 3466MHz with CL14 timings. For now, our Trident Z B-die kit will work for establishing a premise of how much improvement we can expect from memory overclocking on Ryzen. We have since requested an even higher bin of memory from GSkill, and are awaiting that shipment. This is because it’s got Samsung B dies, whereas other kits – like those from HyperX – are running the Hynix dies that are proven to have issues with higher clocks on Ryzen. It’s mostly time intensive, and if you’re used to just toggling an XMP switch on Intel and moving the frequency around, this is going to be a lot more involved.Īfter sorting through about 6 kits of memory, we found that our Trident Z 3200MHz CL14 kit had the best potential for overclocking in Ryzen. Memory overclocking and timings tuning isn’t necessarily trivial on Ryzen right now. Memory Overclocking & Ryzen – Not Necessarily Trivial
