the paste that comes with a CoolerMaster device. From the 212 EVO or the 612-2
So, question, what version and where can you get a Noctura (I think its D15 or something) that comes with the AM4 bracket ? I have given up on Coolermaster, and the H100i from Corsair is also sub-par IMO.
@Markfw You may want to invest in a better thermal paste instead of using the one that comes with the 212. I personally have used Artic Cooling MX-4 for the past several years now and it is awesome. This way you don't have to spend lots of money to try other coolers when your thermal paste could be the issue instead.
I used a 20g or 30g tube of Arctic MX-2 for years. Just recently replaced with a 20g tube of Arctic MX-4 as I was running low. I like it because it's neither too viscous or too runny, it performs well, and it pretty much doesn't need maintenance/replacement unlike some other pastes.
Good to know. I assumed the paste with my Noctua was pretty decent considering the quality of their units. I'll use the provided paste instead of my MX-2.The noctua NT-H1 paste that comes with their heatsinks is as good or better, so if you do go the Noctua route mark you will be covered for paste.
(For Gigabyte K7) Question: DDR compatibility didn't work either!
Question: Ugg my AB350-Gaming 3 STILL won't load XMP.
- Try setting SOC to 1.2 or 1.25
- Try setting the timings, voltage (you may need to try 1.4), and SOC (1.2~1.25) manually.
- Does you memory have multiple XMP profiles? Try the lower one first!
- Raise Dynamic SOC to +.3V, try to boot.
- With Dynamic SOC at +.3V also enable DDR compatibility mode, try to boot.
- Let me know which model memory you have and I'll work on it from my end as well
I couldn't even get the 4k sample to play in vlc it would just skip horribly. But I did convert it in Handbrake with the presets you recommended. It fluctuated from 88% to 100% every couple of seconds. It finished the encode in a total of 62 seconds. SO what does this mean? is this good or is there a problem on my end somewhere?By the way the sample played just fine in vlc after the handbrake encoding job.Did you try the 4k sample I linked with the settings to try?
SOC at 1.2 or 1.25v?? I haven't seen anyone need to go that high yet.
Perfect, except its OOS.Noctua NH-D15 AM4 edition comes with kit already
Or buy the NH-D15 and order the kit free from Noctua
It must be the memory. I just set mine to 3200 xmp profile on my Taichi and rebooted, and here is the result:I guess I will have to fiddle around with some voltages to see if I can boot 3200 on this Taichi. I'm guessing there is some silicon lottery in regards to SOC voltage at work here...
From the Gigabyte beta bios thread on their forums:
Edit: No luck with my Taichi. I'll swap in the 1700 tomorrow to see if it makes a difference.

What is it with all these AM4 parts, its been weeks now !!!!!!

And it also worked on my AB350 pro4 the same way !

I chose the file at the top of the page called sample-Elysium.2013.2160p.mkv 60 second sample and for handbrake I chose preset H.265 1080p30 single pass,DTS-HD for audio. Finished for a second time in 62 seconds. so the time is correct,why is this super slow?62 seconds would be unrealistically fast according to the handbrake thread. Are you sure you chose the right settings? Either way bouncing between 88% and 100% on H.265 is normal from my experience. It seems for some reason handbrake doesn't like the other file you have or a setting you've chosen as far as keeping the cpu busy. I don't know enough about handbrake to say what it could be. Have you tried the same settings you just tried on the original file?

I got so annoyed, that I just ordered another set for my AB350 pro4, where it also worked at 3200. Update your bios ??That is the same memory I am trying today. It boots at XMP settings, but not stable. With setting relaxed a bit to 16-18-18-38 and voltage up to 1.4 it's more stable... but still fails AIDA64 stress tests. Works at XMP settings if I clock it down to 2933mhz and it seems to be stable... at least made it through 20 minutes of the stress test. Will try running it overnight to be sure.
Maybe you got some nicer RAM by chance, or maybe this x370 killer sli a/c board is a bit inferior when it comes to RAM timings.

Throwing away $99, but it really is worth it for almost 50% more memory performance. (2400 to 3200 and CL18 to CL14)

Etid: oops just noticed that you said it was fast... Maybe I am supposed to be doing 2pass?
