Hi,
I just joined and recently swapped out my 4790k to a Ryzen 1700 build. I've been a pretty active poster on both LTT and Bit-tech.

Welcome to the forums mate, love your system. Very nice.

I assume your GPU is a GTX 1080?
 
Nice build and welcome to OC3D! How are you liking Ryzen compared to your old 4790k? I was an AMD guy back in the day and really have the itch to switch back.

FPS is down, I ran a number of benchmarks with my 4790k @ 4.7ghz prior to pulling it apart, Ryzen is lagging but has started to gain some ground with the recent bios update, ram is still down at 2666mhz though

The "refresh" build log is here

All the numbers pre and post Ryzen are there, my rig is 1440P. I'm going to do another set of benchmarks once a better bios comes out etc and I can run the memory at 3200mhz with the CPU @ 4ghz.

The initial bios I had 4ghz @ 1.35v which was really good, however my ram was stuck at 2133mhz, so the initial benchmark figures were hurting. I did a run of RotTR at 3.8ghz and 2666mhz after the intial run and it improved by like 4.5FPS @ -200mhz o/c so its getting better. I could spend time tweaking so I can get the ram 2666mhz and 4.0ghz, but I like my temps with 3.8ghz and 1.3v. I'll be happy to have 4ghz at 1.35v but don't wanna go pushing 1.45v. My loops is good, but the case holds heat in as there aint too much ventilation on it

This has really been an everr evolving project, it started out as a behemoth!

But I had t downsize as we needed a new desk, so I got rid of the case and both 360mm radiators (kept the 240mm) and moved it into a INWIN 303

Ok I received the new fan pads from Thermaltake this morning, they sent them free of charge

Some people thought they maybe too dark for the theme but they're pretty much perfect!

So I initially fitted an XSPC 120mm ax rad to the rear, but it looked bulky and I didn't like the tube routing, so I decided to change it for a 120mm Alphacool crossflow which needed to be spray white (duh lol)

Seemed my GPU temps were getting high (63C) which was due to a combination of a few things : Block needed reseating and cleaning and case airflow. So I reseated the block and completely stripped out the build to add a front intake fan. At the same time I painted the inside of the case white:

In the next picture you can see why it isn't located centrally on the front - due to tube routing
