    Verizon Launches Startup Offering $40-per-Month Unlimited Data

    That’s the rub of the offer, instead of getting the max LTE speeds, you’ll never get above 5 Mbps of data.

    X370 Mini ITX Motherboard and Ryzen 7 1700 For $263

    Thanks, ordered the mobo for when I get around to upgrading my Plex Server. I’m in no hurry, so,only buying parts when an incredible deal is available. Just need to wait for the 2700x to drop to an insane level like when I got my 1700 for $250 a month or two after it’s release via eBay.

    Next gen Ryzen in X370 mobos?

    I was hoping someone was planning a review with a Ryzen + processor in an X370 mobo to give us an idea of the improvements in architecture when not using an X470 mobo.

    Next gen Ryzen in X370 mobos?

    I would imagine that the 2700 series Ryzen processors will be tested in the new x470 series mobos, but I’m curious if anyone has heard of anyone planning to test one of these next gen Ryzen in an x370 Mobo to give original adopters an idea on performance increase by just swapping processors?

    sorry, I just saw this and I don't remember the exact steps at this point since I resolved it a while ago. This post from the pfSense forums contains mys settings that ended up working: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=129528.msg713736#msg713736. I hope it helps, as it's all the NAT or...

    Xeon D-1518 vs Atom C2758 for home router application

    I spent $309 on a Qotom Q355G4 (i5-5250u CPU) that came with a 30 GB Intel SSD and 4GB of Samsung RAM from Amazon. It is a fanless unit, but ran too warm for my liking (50C - 68C) so I modded a 120 mm case fan to run off one of the 5V USB ports and placed it two inches above the case and now my...

    Update #2 on Qotom q355g4 mini PC: Learning pfSense has been a challenging, frustrating, rewarding, and tedious endeavor over the past 3 weeks to say the least.

    Post your Ryzen memory speeds!

    Best I've been able to do with my g.skill is 3162 with a BLCK of 107.8 on the 2933 strap. So far, changing the ram voltage and SOC can't get me a higher ram speed.

    What offset did your 1700 require for 3.9?

    RyZen Pstate Overclocking, method, calculation and Calculator

    You can't change the VID or you won't get the clock you want. For me, to get to 3.850 GHz, I set FID to 9A and left the rest of the pstate settings at default. On the voltage settings page, you set the vcore to + offset to whatever you need. For example, my 1700 requires a +0.1625v vcore...

    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 & 1400 CPU Review @ [H]

    For those interested in R5 1600, best price I've seen: https://hardforum.com/threads/jet-com-ryzen-r5-1600-188-59-or-lower-after-spring15-coupon-and-before-tax.1929967/

    Jet.com: Ryzen R5 1600 $188.59 (or lower) After SPRING15 coupon and before tax

    Jet.com coupon SPRING15 (TRIPLE15 doesn't work) when paired with the AMD Ryzen R5 1600 results in a final pre-tax cost of between $182.94 and $188.59. AMD's recommended price is $219.99. Tax puts it up to $194 to $200 for me in Florida, but a good deal for those where tax isn't applied. Items...

    1600 or 1600x for overclocking?

    If overclocking, the bundled cooler will be limited. So, a 1600 will probably need an aftermarket cooler as well.

    1600 or 1600x for overclocking?

    They are all in stock right now at Newegg. Personally, I'd go 1600 and OC it...just as I went 1700 instead of with an X. Anyone looking for the 1400, Frys has it on sale for $149 instead of $169...

    Overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and 1400 CPUs

    I was waiting for the 1600 myself, but I couldn't pass up that 1700 eBay deal for $250 shipped. Just too good of a deal and I was fortunate enough to get in on that deal. I'm happy with the upgrade from my 2600k so far.

    Yes, I've tried all the settings of those who got to 3200, but I appear to be one of the handful who can only get to 2933 at this time. Tried all the various bios as well.

IBT (10 passes at max) indicates that my pstate 0 overclock is humming along fine at 3825 with an offset voltage of +0.16. This tops...

    I agree, which is why I ordered the 1700. But thought I would pass it along in case someone was looking for an 1800X deal because they don't feel like OCing.
