FEATURED AMD ZEN Discussion (Previous Rumor Thread)

[petteyg359]

Well lets just hope AMD isn't doing the same calculations that brought them to the conclusion that the Fx 8350 was a 125w chip.

I have a 6300 running at 4.8 GHz. The other day I was messing around and put a Kill A Watt on it. It got over 200 watts just doing mundane tasks. I didn't dare run Prime95 and look.

Or we could, you know, not expect a chip operated beyond its label to remain within the labeled spec?

Uh, where did I state that I expected a chip that is overclocked 1.3 GHz to operate at the stock 95 watts? Could you point that out to me when you get a chance?

The post that we both quoted implied such.

Lol... I'd be afraid to put a killowatt on my tower.... 95W CPU is DEFINITELY exceeding 95W [emoji14]

 

[Mandrake4565]

I'm more interested in the gains from the overclock vs how far they clock up to. Hopefully not a product of diminishing returns....

Agreed Shrimpy

I don't believe that was his intent Petty.

Don't you may have a stroke. Here's my 8350 @ 5.2 running 3D mark Vantage with a GTX 580 Oced. Yes that says 827 Watts drawn from the wall.

 

[Tír na nÓg]

At this point, I just want to see how they overclock... that will determine if I get one or not.

Trying to find any excuse not to get an AMD chip, hey? You'll take the plunge, as most of this forum members!

Come to the Dark Side, ED. Witness the power of a fully operational Ryzen Death Star! MUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Hell, I may try to figure out how to swing a Ryzen in to my tiny budget this year.

OK, it's official. We need a Darth Vader emoticon.

Yes that says 827 Watts drawn from the wall.

Good golly, Miss Molly! I have an amplifier with a 15 lb. EI transformer that doesn't draw that much juice in Class A!

Holy crap!

 

[Alaric]

What he said ^.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Take the 20% PSU efficiency loss off of that 827 figure and that's what it's really using.
So, roughly 650w from the PSU. That's about right for that combo and clocks.

 

[MaddMutt]

@MD

You are not suppose to have your HEATER plugged in at the same TIME

 

[DaveB]

JohnnyGURU measured 85% efficiency for that PSU at that power output, so more like 700W actual.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Whatever. I wasn't trying to be that specific, and I didn't look up the PSU.
I'm sure everybody got the idea.

 

[MaddMutt]

If he was trying to be specific, he would have had the CPU and GPU on separate PSU's

I did.

 

[knoober]

I did.

So the 827 figure is just the CPU?! I guess ill cross the FX @5ghz off the wish list! Out of curiosity, do the stock figures match the specs, or is there a bigger draw than you would expect?

It's the entire system.

EDIT: Quick side note and i'm sorry if this was discussed before but WTH ? the Ryzen with the X on the name auto-overclock ? What's the fun in that for OC maniacs ? and the price difference

This^^^^ My best guess is the 8350 at 5.2 is drawing around 300-325w.

March cannot come fast enough.

That 1600X has the makings of an epic CPU for budget minded gaming builds.
