Depends on motherboard, i know GSKILL TridentZ RGB C16 now able to reach its 3200mhz on certain motherboard eg C6H

i use cheap asrock x370 killer sli, dont't know can reach 3200MHz or not.

some user mention even with flare x, maximum can get stable at 2933MHz only

Mmm...just checked Asrock website it seem like the board is having some limitation for high speed ram.

Hello everyone!
I am planning to buy a ryzen setup but can't decide for graphics card. RX580 8GB is not avaliable anywhere :/ RAM also not available. Any suggestion ? I will use like a server / video & photo editing / programming etc.

Go GTX 1060 6GB. AMD is currently overpriced. As for the RAM, G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200 CL14 should perform slightly faster than Corsair Vengeance.

great! thx man! only thing 1060 is 192bit, rx580 is 256bit i dunno if to much impact on performance.

btw how about gtx 1070 zotac mini ?

Yet GTX 1060 6GB still trade blows with RX 580. Its about how good is the chip.

GTX 1070 is another level of performance.

Don't buy 1070, super overpriced card. I go look at garage sales, so many people want about 2.2k for a GTX1070 used somemore. I found some GTX1080 selling for RM2700~ for a new one. Might as well get 1080 since price difference so minimal but big difference in performance.

thx man


if i eat chicken tandoori for 2 weeks lunch time i think i will catch the price, i can consider 1080 thx man

C-Zone selling Zotac GTX 1080 Mini at RM2659.

yea.. damn cheap i saw also shocked

anyone recomend if i get thread ripper for coffee lake?

neither, get Ryzen 7

nice i can use maybe for bitcoin mining also ? anyway rather than paying 2k to rx580 i will go for 1080, thx!
i will buy the ram + graphic card from lowyat (czone i think)
rest of the components dotatech looks ok from lingloong i think

GTX 1070 is better than GTX 1080 for mining. Only GTX 1080 Ti onwards is better than GTX 1070.

Anione using r5 1600?
Just wana izit most ppl can hit 4.0ghz clock speed?
Coz from what i heard is about 20% of all chip can hit dis clock onli...

OC is a hit n miss, some chip need higher voltage, some may need lower.

actually, i think can reach 3.7Ghz - 3.9GHz is good enough. no need keep pushing 4.0Ghz unless u are after benchmarking and want to achieve or break world record lol.

Should be a silicon lotery...
Jz curious,coz someone told me almost every chip can reach 4.0...
But from what i hear is about 20%...
But for gaming performance,1600 will perform very very well @ 4.0ghz...

Finally got my ryzen built.

R5 1600
Gigabyte Gaming AB350
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 8GB
R9 270 *temporary
Intel SSD 480GB + Seagate 1TB
550W psu

Gonna wait for a month or two if price drop for rx series. If not gonna go for 1060 6gb

For those who are using aorus x370 k5 & k7 motherboard becareful when you update to latest bios.
