I upgraded from an i7-2600 to an 1800X over a year ago. Once the memory issues were solved (running at 3200 MHz vs ~2800 MHz), I've been happy with my purchase.

I just went from i5-3750K to Ryzen 2700X and had a similar issue getting to the advertised memory frequency. Looks like it’s par for the course and will get sorted out in due time. I’m happy with the AMD CPU outside of that one problem.

I recall that the big (last) problem was setting the command rate to 2T. I eventually figured out that my ASUS board had a "geardown mode" enabled that always forced 1T, so I turned that off and I've been at full speed since. Not sure if this will help you.

What was the memory problem specifically, and how did you solve it, if you don't mind going into that?
