RE: PC Build - Codename: Black Stallion - Custom Built AMD RYZEN 7 1800x High Performance Workstation (Warning: Lots of Pictures Inside!)

in #technology7 years ago

Awesome! Looks really neat.

I vaguely recall I recommended you Ryzen 7 several months ago, but you weren't convinced. Glad you came around! I'm running Ryzen 7 too - it's simply brilliant. Intel was charging $1000-$1800 for this performance last year! And their motherboards are $100-$200 more; not to mention they ask you to change every other gen. With Ryzen Threadripper, it's clear Intel have been caught with their pants down.

I had problems with RAM too early on, had to settle for 2933 MHz for stability. It would BSOD at 3200. Asus board here, so it's just the AMD chipsets had problems with Intel optimized memory early on. But all's good now. After the last BIOS update, running rock stable on 3200 MHz. :)
