Any idea if there is a beta client for Ryzen? I have v2.912.521 and it's not recognizing Ryzen.

Core #3 benchmarked the fastest.

I can't reach your polo.sytes.net site to check my results.

Strange, it shows no results for me for the past 28 days.

Here's my latest upload:

I'm actually changing my providers...
Replace polo.sytes.net by www.despretz.fr in your dnetc.ini file and restart the client.
If it doesn't work try with the ip adress 109.190.147.6

This is what I am seeing with my 1800x. How does it compare?

930 / 8 = 116 Mnodes/s/core at 3,6 GHz

3.4 / 3.6 * 116 = 109 Mnodes/s/core at 3,4 GHz

You get exactly the same crunching power per GHz than mine. Mr. Green

Hey, that's not fair, I paid extra for the 1800x. #Cussing out

Did you overclock your 1700? I have mine at stock.

After a few days of crunching, here are the last numbers for my setup :

Bah, I paid extra for nothing then. I don't overclock so the unlocked multiplier is meaningless. #Cussing out

I finally got the issues worked out with Windows 7 on Ryzen. Microsoft locked out security updates for both Ryzen and Intel Kaby Lakes processors. This is strong arm tactics by Microsoft to move people over to Windows 10 as Windows 7 is still supported for older processors. Of course there are work arounds, I just needed to do research to find them. Not being able to use USB mice and keyboards outside of Windows remains an open issue but I can live with it. (All attempts to slip-stream USB drivers into flash drives have failed miserably)

Rant aside, my fully running Windows 7 on Ryzen build runs beautifully. I can't imagine needing more power, this will hold me for for a long time.

Never tried a linux distribution ?

I don't run windows anymore and I'm very happy with my different linux setups (8 machines) at home. You have to notice that I'm not a gamer... Games are the only thing that could possibly push you in the windows world.

Actually, all my needs are full filled by the linux solution. Yellow Cool

libreoffice, firefox, chromium, thunderbird, gimp, vlc, clementine.... and I'm happy with that.

I still play some old windows games with Playonlinux.
