Taken that AMD released their Zen+ core Ryzen 2700X, 2700, 2600X and 2600 on 19 April 2018 and I was lucky enough to pick up mine on 20 April 2018 I thought it be good to start a thread to see what we can get out of these new CPUs.
Unfortunately the Asus X470 motherboards are missing in action, clearly visible even when checking Amazon and Newegg in the USA so I had to settle to start with a X370 board. I wasn't all that happy but I figured that being about 50 days without a computer is enough and I'll bite the bullet and get an X370 board now and sell it when the X470 boards from Asus arrive.
Firstly I must give a big thank you to @Wootware for actually flashing the bios of the motherboard for me to have it working with the Ryzen 2700X I purchased. I also got word today that my X470 board should be available on 2 May 2018....only a few more days.
So now for the results..... Please understand that the cpu only ran for one startup at stock to see that it worked. I went straight to 4.2ghz all core on the second startup without an issue except that I overshot with the vcore at 1.35v. Yup 1.35 should have been about 1.2 to 1.25 but I'll explain going forward. I tried with some help from @Gouhan all the way from afar to see how high I could go and 4.3ghz was no problem at 1.4vcore but with some advise I set LLC to 4 and dropped the vcore ultimately ending at 1.33vcore stable all benches. My max clock going higher ended at 4.35ghz with 1.4vcore which is where I decided to stop..... I can try to go higher and will most likely get higher but I do not want to kill a good cpu as I've done with my old 1090T.
All my cinebench and Geekbench 3 runs was at 4.35ghz.
Cinebench 2003- not great but not to bad when looking at other results on Hwbot against clocks - my memory is okay but I need to still learn how to tweak properly
Cinebench 11.5
Cinebench 15R
Geekbench 3 - I found that after spending a bit of money running it in 64bit helps

PC Mark 7 - Yup not the greatest but still the 2nd best score for an 8 core chip...... but maybe because very few people run it....he he he
I though Ill do one 3d run so I went with Time Spy..... not the greatest but not too bad I would say
