My Ryzen 1800x box is so disgustingly fast that it almost makes up for the consistent stability issues I've encountered while using it

What kind of stability issues are you seeing? Have you OC'd? What are you running as OS? Windows or Linux?

Failure to boot, random freezes in Windows and Linux.

That said, I got it sorted out. It turned out to be an incompatibility with both the NVMe disk I was using as well as an incompatibility with the memory I had purchased.

Getting the exact parts listed in your motherboard manufacturer's compatibility list appears to be pretty important for Ryzen currently. It's been rock solid since I swapped out those components.

Awesome! Thank you for the follow up. I'm planning on building one out at the end of the summer so I'll keep that in mind.

I'd be interesting in knowing, too. I'm in the market for a new workstation, but not sure I yet trust the Ryzen platform to give me the stability I need.
