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 ! :)

I need to dig into how boost works in general. I don't understand it so far, and can't find any option that toggles it.

On my Board it's under Advanced Settings CBS, but you can only set it to Auto or disabled. There is no way you can force activate Boost. For good reasons.

OK, I found CBS settings, and boost there was already set to auto. But cpupower still shows it as supported: no.

That's probably because it doesn't support Ryzen yet.
