Can someone double check my Ryzen build?

noktek · May 16, 2017

I am building a new PC, focusing mainly on 3d rendering. hence also the ryzen cpu. I will add in another GPU that i already have, hence the 750W PSU. I wonder if RAM is compatible... and generally if this build makes any sense since im not that much of a hardware person! any other toughts welcome!

here a link to the parts:

for links to the parts please see the link above:

CASE: Corsair Carbide 200R
COOLER: be quiet! Pure Rock
SSD1: Samsung 850 EVO Basic (500GB, 2.5")
SSD2: Samsung 960 EVO (500GB, M.2 2280)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda (4000GB, 3.5", Desktop, Server)
PSU: Corsair RM750x (750W)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 16GB, DDR4-3000, DIMM 288)
OD: ASUS DRW-24D5MT
PSU: AMD RYZEN 7 1800X (AM4, 3.60GHz, Unlocked)
MOBO: ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO (AM4, AMD X370, ATX)
GPU1: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AORUS Xtreme Edition 11G (11GB, High End)

thanks a lot and have a great evening

Sick build m8, everything looks to be great, and btw this website ( https://pcpartpicker.com ) allows you to put parts together and it shows you the cheapest place to buy them at and gives a warning if any of your parts are incompatible. Great build will rock for future and current task.

I'd probably drop tot he ryzen 1700 just to save $200 mate in all honesty.

It'll overclock the same speed & if you're running GPU based rendering its not going to matter anyway.

If you want peace of mind and slightly better performance, get GSkill Flare X

Those seagate 4tb aren't the most reliable. If you're looking to backup stuff on there, it may be better to do a RAID 1 with 2 2tb drives.

To save money, you could get the 1700x. Some people will suggest you get the 1700, but the lower you go, the less binned the CPUs are, and the less likely you are going to do well in the silicon lottery.

Maybe change the PSU to the Corsair HX 750i if you want a quieter PSU.
Maybe a beefier CPU Cooler such as the Noctua NH-D15 to give more overclocking headroom and so that its fans aren't running 100%, which can be too noisy.

Seen literally no evidence of binning between the 3 ryzen 7 chips , they've all got that exact same 4/4.1 GHz ceiling.
Doesn't seem to be any difference bin voltage requires across the range , & oddly the majority of comparisons I've seen the 1700 has actually done slightly better .

madmatt30 :

After looking into it more, I think you're right. 1700 is the way to go over the 1700x. However, it does seem that more 1800x's hit 4.1 than 1700s.

Thanks for the insights guys.
I added all the parts in partpicker and it gave me an incompatibility error with the cooler, so i switched to the Noctua suggested by jtabb.
Either that, or i could really go down for the 1700, which comes with a stock cooler. I dont plan on doing grand overclocking anyway. Probably that is a good way to save 300bucks!

I still think the 1700 is the chip price wise mate easily.
I've been up to 3.9ghz on the stock cooler but its a toasty 80c under prime testing.

The gammaxx 400 is a good bang for buck option cooler wise - partpicker throws an incompatibility but there isn't one as it uses the stock amd mounting system.

You'll find if you go with a 1700+ the included wraith spire cooler that you actually have to remove the stock amd brackets to fit the spire (which honestly surprised me when mine came)
