Hi everyone, Yesterday I forgot to write a post, because I received, finally, my UDOO x86 Advanced and I started playing with it. This particular board has an Intel Celeron N3160 clocked at 1.60Ghz and can go up to 2.40Ghz. It has Intel Graphics HD 400 with 12 execution units clocked at 640Mhz, comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage after upgrading it in my Kickstarter Pledge. This is how the board looks: It has 3 USB…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll be sharing my unboxing photos and video of the Arctic F8, which is an 80mm fan. In the unboxing video, I also test the fan to check it works. Here, we can see the front of the box of the fan: Here is the back of the box: The sides: When I open the box, we will find the fan: And also, it comes with the installation screws: So, that’s what comes with this…
The real issue was not the cooling, but the vcore applied to the CPU, In the past, the BIOS was set to Auto vcore, and it was applying 1.36V of vcore, which was making the CPU temperature skyrocket to the 80C almost 90C: Now, In the BIOS, I set the vcore voltaje via offset, meaning that the BIOS applies the CPU stock voltage of 1.18V plus or minus a value I add to it. In my case, I applied a…
Hi everyone, Today, I performed some hardware upgrades to my computers. First, on my Ryzen PC, which was getting temperatures of 84C all the way to 89C, I replaced the front 120mm fan, which was an Arctic F12, with a 120mm x 38mm high airflow but very noisy fan I took out from a Dell PC. This fan was placed on the CPU heatsink, so I tough on using it on my new Ryzen CPU as it could definitely lower…
Hi everyone, Today, I’m sharing my experience with Nero Video 2017 on my AMD Ryzen 7 PC. So far, I’m not pleased with the performance Nero Video is having on this PC. The issue seems to be that the software is coded to use just a few cores or threads instead of using every core and thread of the CPU. I can get to this conclusion as on my Intel i7 PC, it manages to use like 80% of the…
Hi everyone, Yesterday night, I was playing with the motherboard BIOS and overclocked my CPU to 3.6Ghz, using a multiplier of x36. Voltage is set to Auto and it is currently using 1.36v, although CPU-Z reports weird readings of 1.94 and 2.000V, which are incorrect readings. Here is a benchmark from Cinebench and CPU-Z. Below you can see my current system specs: Cinebench: CPU-Z Bench: CPU-Z System Information: HWiNFO: About the temperatures, I’m using the Stock Cooler and running BOINC…
Hi everyone, Today, I ran a benchmark for the distributed.net client on my new AMD Ryzen 7 1700 running at 3.30Ghz. The PC has a 16GB Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz RAM module. Computer details: See my Ryzen PC build here! Post Views: 1
Hi everyone, Today has been a special day for me as I finally received my ASUS PRIME B350M motherboard. The CPU I got is the AMD Ryzen 7 1700. Let’s take a look at the motherboard: The motherboard came in this box: Let’s see some more images: When I opened the box, there was the motherboard: When I took the motherboard out, we can see it came with 2 SATA cable, the M.2 screw, the backplate, the instruction manual and a…
Hi everyone, In this post, I will be sharing some photos I took from the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Box. I still haven’t unboxed it as I’m still waiting for the motherboard which should be delivered to me on Monday. Below are the photos: To see more case photos, click here. Do you have a Ryzen 7 CPU or are you waiting for the Ryzen 5 series? Let me know in the comments. Post Views: 2
Hi everyone, As I told you yesterday, today the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU will be shipped, meaning I will get it tomorrow. There is still a motherboard shortage but my estimate for the motherboard is still showing delivery by next week as of today morning, so it seems I’ll be able to build my Ryzen system by next week. I’m gonna take some pictures of the CPU once I receive it, so look forward to it! Post Views: 3
