Quick reply to 3Dcandy. Sorry m8. I initially loaded Win 7 on this PC and had no lock ups and no probs with the Nvme , well over the 3000 seq.Read marks. Only hang up I had was the non-working B/Tooth which I don't care about oh , and the printer. I know a monitor is far better than a TV but have no room for a decent size one of each. I just stated that the older card under Win7 is giving me a better screen. No offence m8 but Win7 is going back on , far less hassles.
I've been running a Ryzen 5 2400G for 2 years. It runs everything I throw at it without too much fuss mainly strategy games and so forth. Could be tempted to upgrade to a 4000 series Ryzen later this year or next and sell on the 2400G, but I'm pretty happy with it at the moment so I won't be in a rush to do that.

Running an OC'd Ryzen 1600 and its working great. Although it may have chugged a few times in Battlefield on very high graphics settings with a Vega 64 in 2560x1440. After toning down the graphics a bit, it was fine.
Getting along fine. It's not given me any hassle. It's still in its box mind you...Originally Posted by HEXUS
(Trying to scrape enough money together to get some other parts for the build.)
I'm also still wondering if I made the right call getting the ACE mobo or whether I should get the Aorus master instead. Any feedback from owners of those appreciated.
And not supported any longer...
Oh well if you must but I think that's a waste of your processor etc. Display scaling is the issue and it's an easy fix.
Also the older card will not have all the settings as the driver does not support them - which is possibly why to you it appears clearer

Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Still rolling with a 1700X, waiting for 4000 series parts for an upgrade. I can't financiall justify the need yet, it's only been a few years, GPU prices are insane, and it doesn't bottleneck my GTX 1070. Basically, when I get a new GPU, I'll get a new CPU to stay balanced.

Not supported anymore , it is by me and controlled by me , not Microsoft. This is used for work and is not a waste of the processor , that statement is stupid , some could argue that gaming is a waste of a processor when you have Xboxes and the like for that. PC's were developed for working but don't take me wrong I argued many years back that if it wasn't for gaming graphics would not have developed to the degree it has anywhere near as fast. Scaling wasn't a problem , just the text definition which a lot of peeps had a problem with. Fortunately Microsoft released an answer to this which improves it a fair bit ( Windows 10 DPI Fix ). Problem was caused apparently by making things compatable with mobiles etc. Anyway , like a lot of peeps out there I'm far happier running Win7 on this than being controlled by Redmond. Thanks for the input and thanks to AMD for a class chip , happy bunny here.
Erm how is that stupid? There are specific things that are simply not supported in Win 7 that are supported by the cpu...
nvme is not natively supported by Win 7, it's hacked via a driver. Even AMD say Win 7 is not supported by Ryzen
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
People run different OSes to suit their needs, what is stupid to one might not be for another, I used to work in a place where we still had a laptop with Vista 32 bit on it for some old fire panel stuff and an XP machine for access control...
Whilst I perfectly understand that (I've got a Win 7 x86 machine here for some stuff that is not x64) to buy a new processor and hardware that is not officially supported and missing out on features seems a bit strange, especially when that OS is not getting updates and is end of life. If it was older hardware, then fair enough... nvme is not natively supported on Win 7, the drivers for the AMD chipset are not supported on Win 7 by AMD. Chances are an update soonish will break Win 7 support completely... Ryzens have hardware that is not supported by Win7. Just seems an odd choice. Oh and of course, as nvme is not native to Win 7 it's a right game to even install it on a nvme boot drive unless you install to a sata ssd first then clone/copy it across

There won't be updates, so they can't break. The B450 board I bought recently has Windows 7 drivers on the Asus site. They are old, like a year and a half old, but they exist.
I'm sure that the power management and Windows scheduler aren't up to the same level as Windows 10. But if someone has decided to stay on 7, then Ryzen could well be the best Windows 7 experience they will get. That isn't for me, clearly not for you, but there still seem to be people making the choice.
win7 can handle nvme. Assuming you got to download the MS KB updates before they conveniently disappeared from the MS website a while back.
MORE 8
Advantages:
- Price
- Low power consumption in normal mode
- Low temperatures
- Overclocking capabilities
- Performance
Disadvantages: Specifically, this model does not have them.
A comment:
The most versatile, and perhaps the most profitable processor in the Pinnacle Ridge line. Before the rise in processor prices, Intel competed with the Core i7-8700, after - for this money you can buy only the i5-8400 / 8500.
Sorry to be a bore in this. I used the MSI tool to inject USB3 and Nvme drivers into my ISO and had no probs installing onto the Nvme on it's own as upon install I only ever have 1 hard drive attached with a fresh install. I followed this by installing the Samsung Nvme driver after install and relevent MSI drivers. This was all done on Win7 pro 64bit without probs except the mentioned lack of Bluetooth support which is of no concequence to me. I'm not knocking peeps that are happy with Win 10 , personally I don't like it at all but I like my Ryzen. I have friends that won't move from XP , their choice and their PC and won't berate them for that , one mans meat etc, etc. We all have our own opinions and choice ( till the government says otherwise.lol. ) Anyway , good thread.
Built my first PC in a long while in summer 2018 (upgrading from a Core 2 Duo!).
Went (back) to AMD and haven't regretted a thing. Ryzen 7 2700X paired with a Vega 64, crushes pretty much everything thing I throw at it. The only thing that makes me envious of Intel is the clock speeds... will see what the 4000 series brings later this year, and might consider upgrading later down the line when the prices drop.
Also spec'ing up a rig for the GF at the mo and will be going for the Ryzen 5 3600
My old Threadripper 1920X is going fine. Running @ 3.8G using 1.25V.
