Ryzen 7950x + Gigabyte Aorus Master x670e - my thoughts

A

akil

If someone wants to buy some modern components, below is answer what is working and whats not...


CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X AM5
Mobo: Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER AM5
RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 5600 CL40 KF556C40BBK2-64


I've had some issues with amdkms so I bought ZOTAC Nvidia 1080 to get full 4k support

WiFi - not tested
Ethernet: igc0 -> Ethernet Controller I225-V - working like a charm
There are some issues with EXPO1 5600mhz DDR5 - getting kernel panic but EXPO2 5200mhz seems to working without any issues.
There are some boot problems with UEFI. It can stuck in bootloader when kernel has been loaded with rest of modules ("nvidia-modeset"). Removing nvidia from loader.conf does not fix that issue... After few resets it starts working. If I press Enter to force BOOT in Boot loader it will stuck again, so I have to wait whole 10s countdown to let it boot. o____0
Booting to single user always works. It seems that Multiuser is somehow affected.
 
I'm a bit confused. The probe shows that you're running 13.0-CURRENT. Is that correct?
If so, why would you be running 13.0-CURRENT? Seems like 13.1-RELEASE or 14.0-CURRENT would be more decent choices (assuming you want to run -CURRENT at all).

Edit: Is it possible that you linked the incorrect probe? It seems like the hardware you're mentioning here does not match up with the probe's output. The linked probe is of a ThinkPad Carbon X1.

Did you run a memtest on 5600 MHz?
It's more for completeness sake to demonstrate the FreeBSD itself is not the problem.

I'm so sorry, I've used wrong link to HW-probe. First post has been updated with correct link.
Here is current checksum used to run on FreeBSD 14:
commit a170657108623cd48e3d695ca74c428a564912ee (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD)

I didn't run memtest so far... not yet found enough time for that.
 
Thanks for posting this! It's been a few months since you posted so I was wondering how everything has been working? I'm primarily interested in a Ryzen 5 7600 for use in a freebsd 14.0 based firewall/router with 25G intel nics. This is the only post anywhere on the internet I've been able to find of someone running FreeBSD 14 and Ryzen 7000 series. From your experience do you think I'd be safe to pull the trigger on a Ryzen 5 7600 for use as a headless router/firewall only or have you run into more serious bugs that aren't just related to nvidia/wifi etc?

I have a Ryzen5 7600, and the iGPU on it is Raphael. If you take a look at AMD drivers in here, the latest supported is Yellow Carp (RX 6500/6600, RDNA3). The ryzen itself is really fast (it can compile LLVM15 in about half an hour), but for graphics, you're better off buying a slightly older card that is more likely to be supported (RX 6600/6700/6800/6900) and older, or do your homework for NVidia...

Headless will work fine, but it's probably overkill. And, Ryzen 7000 tend to run hot, so invest into liquid cooling if you run anything compute-heavy.
