just built a ryzen 1700x + 32g hyperx 2400 ram + gtx1060 for video editing. Pretty dang fast coming from an A10-6800k lol.

only problem is mem needs to be down graded to 2133 to run stable due to dual layer 16g dimms not being handled very well on the current mobos

only nuisance is the 'x' versions of the ryzen 7 chips have a 20 degree Celsius offset added by AMD to the real temp which is bullshit. My computer displays it idles at 58c and goes up to 85c under prime95, making the mobo beep like mad. In reality its only 38c idle and 65c in prime. Pretty stupid way AMD implemented the temp offsets and their poor explanation for it, something fishy definitely going on here with the 'x' chips and their reason for the temp offset on them. 1700 non X does not have this offset.

On a side note, when I swapped cpu coolers after installing the Ryzen after the initial install, the thermal grease stuck to the cpu and pulled it right out of it's socket... first time it's happened to me and scared the crap out of me. Changed over to arctic mx4 with the new build from a Coolermaster thermal paste, so I guess the mx4 is a much stickier compound. Luckily no bent pins, but not sure if it's the motherboard not clamping tight enough or just a one off. Now learned to twist and pull next time I need to take off the cooler.
