With the above pictures we think you have seen enough cardboard and we will spare you all the cables and fancy looking stickers… One component of our mediacenter that does deserve some more attention is the motherboard, because what motherboard is the best for a Ryzen 5 3400G?Īctually nowadays there aren’t any really bad motherboards, but Ryzen APU’s depend a lot on the VRM and especially the SOC VRM part. Not a bad drive at all, but i prefer TLC memory due too it’s longer lifespan.
#My mediacenter series
Momentarilly the Kingston A2000 series gives you a lot of bang for the buck and features TLC (Triple level cell) memory instead of QLC (Quad level cell) which is also found on Intel’s 660P NVMe drive. Ofcourse I could keep the existing Crucial 275GB SSD but decided for an NVMe drive instead, no more SATA wires and a tidier system overall.
Nonetheless, we expect to gain a 5-10% increase in IPC due too it’s higher clockspeed and the step from 14 to 12nm. This means the IPC increase from a Ryzen 5 2400G to a Ryzen 5 3400G isn’t as significant as the IPC increase from upgrading a Ryzen 5 2600X (12nm) to a Ryzen 5 3600X (7nm) Matisse cpu. The Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G are not based on Zen 2 (7nm) like the Ryzen 5 3600X or a Ryzen 9 3900X but on the Zen+ architecture which is produced on a 12nm process identical to a Ryzen 5 2600(X) or Ryzen 7 2700(X) non APU’s. We must remember, mediacenter, not a workstation/gaming pc! Let’s start with the basics of the Ryzen 5 3400G and compare this cpu to previous Raven Ridge cpu’s. For fun we throw in some comparison with a Ryzen 9 3900X, 4 core vs 12 core but just for reference. I will include game and static benchmarks. Aside from physically building this Ryzen 5 3400G Mediacenter system and gasping at it once complete, I will run some benchmarks to give you some idea of it’s real world performance. The build preparation and parts selectionįor this blog I decided to take you for the ride and follow me in this build. Highly efficient with a 65W TDP, Support for the latest video codecs including H.265, strong IPC for gaming and best of all it has integrated Vega 11 graphics that could possibly let me play some games from the couch instead of using the 2500K’s Intel HD3000 with the graphic power of a potato. But hey, that would not have satisfied the geek in me wanting to try out that new Ryzen 5 3400G, because…. Okay, okay, I could have just gone for another cpu cooler, some silent wing fans and a dedicated GPU as for example a GTX 1050(Ti).
#My mediacenter movie
Fans starting to ramp up in the middle of watching a movie breaking the immersion, sometimes doing ramdom reboots and the cpu was running on the hot side as it lacks support for modern video codecs for decompressing 4K video leaving everything to be handled by the cpu. Lately my mediacenter started giving me some headaches.
