I'm still not convinced that Ryzen is out completely. I'm wondering if others can chime in with their experience, as drawing a conclusion from a few builds doesn't seem wise. I'm not discounting your personal experience; I would just like to see more samples in testing. There's so many other factors on these builds when taken as a whole.Kategra wrote:While I seen my ex CPU Ryzen 1700X @ 4Ghz with a voltage exceeding 1.4V and was stable in Reason, but not stable in prime95 (Notcua D15S, open case), the i7 runs at 4 Ghz with just 1.25V pime95 1hour torture test OK. I can get the 6800K @ 4.2 Ghz, prime 95 stable, but with 1.35ish voltage which, for me, is not worth the extra heat and noise...
I expect that by 2020 ... 6950X would cost < 500 EUR second hand and would have 50% to 80% extra performance in Reason 10 versus the 6800K. So no need to change the mobo / ram then....

You can buy for yourself Ryzen and test
Whatever you cool it with and OC it will not play the whole benchmark. Maybe hacking the sound driver to allow for 30 seconds latency buffer would help )))
