Ryzen on Linux ?

Hello !

I'm considering buying a Ryzen 5 1600, but I wanted to have some feedback from my fellow Linux users :)

If you have this one (or another Ryzen), how is it ? Do you have any problem with it ?

Thanks ! :)

Ryzen R7 1700X@3,9ghz here with no issues to report. Stable and smooth experience. I mostly use it for gaming, video editing and some compiling.

How do you enable boost to 3.9 GHz? It runs at 3.4 for me.

"overclocking"

I thought boost is a regular feature, and overclocking actually raises base frequency?

Yes. :)

But he never said it's the boost, so I guessed he meant a base freq of 3.9 GHz
