Memory latency results with the new 604 BIOS for the Prime X370 (AGESA code 1.0.0.4a)
3200 CL16 - still not Cold Boot-stable at CL14.

 

[dnavas]

Then that might explain why I can't hit 3200.

That very exact RAM is on my Gaming 5, and with the F5g (beta) bios, it runs at 3200 16-18-...

 

[guachi]

Apparently the specific version 5.39 of the Corsair LPX 3200C16 is Samsung, but the previous versions are Hynix.

Indeed. For some reason I thought 5.39 was Hynix. Maybe that's why it works fairly well @2933.

But there is a post (which I'd actually read) on the AMD blog-thing that mentions Corsair 5.39 is b-die.

If that's the case I think the CAS16 is a good deal considering how much cheaper it is than the 14.

Where do you see a new BIOS for Prime X370-Pro?
edit: nevermind, found it under W7 64bit.

 

[unseenmorbidity]

Here is my PC, at least until Vega comes out The camera on my phone is awful, and the lighting stinks, and my photography skills leave a lot to be desired. I promise, it looks better in person with the LEDs on the GPUs going and whatnot.

Can you post a result with CL14 or just share what latency you are seeing?

Had a bit of a nightmare with this one.

My motherboard only came in stock Saturday, so i've been sat twiddling my thumbs for a fair while now ready to go.

So when I get the message I practically run up to the store to grab the mobo, and rush home to get cracking.

Strip the old system down, format the SSD's ready for a clean install, and start fiddling about to get the cable management right, I want this to look good after all.
So I mount the fans and the radiator on the front of the case (which is fiddly as all bloody hell) and then decide that I'd prefer the tubing to come in from a different direction..

Rewind, try again, much fiddling, many swearing, a lot of time later and the rad is back in, the fans are on and wired in, can get cracking on the actual pump/block.

And that's when it hits me... NZXT still haven't shipped me the *!%£#$@ AM4 bracket to fit the X62 kraken. Oh you mother.... BREATHE. COFFEE BREAK. BREATHE.

Thankfully I remembered I'd gotten my hands on a Wraith cooler off Ebay (for far too much :S bloody scalpers) so all i'd really lost was time and patience. So I've fitted the Wraith cooler and i've left the X62 Kraken installed, and left the block loose inside my case where it won't move far (with plastic protection on it).

Nevermind, we carry on. Finish the build, put the GPU in and wouldn't you know, dip$%@! forgot to plug the VGA connector into the PSU.. HUNNNNNGHHHH. Okay grab headtorch.. HNNNNGHHHGHHGHGHG headtorch batteries are dead. FINE, grab phone, hold phone in mouth half blinding myself to use it as a torch and get my arm stuffed so far up into this H440 that I feel like i'm violating a cow. Plug it in, move on. BREATHE.

Everything wired up. All good. Hit the power button and... HOLY CRAP IT ACTUALLY BOOTED. Normally something should have gone wrong at this point, but no.. It just works.. It's a miracle.

Aaaaand then I go to test out a game on steam and my brand new Corsair RM1000X has so much coil whine that I can't even hear the game music through my 5.1 surround system.

F. M. L

Going to wait until Vega release to see if the coil whine is just related to this specific GPU as the R9 290 is a thirsty mare. Managed to roughly halve the coil whine through power tweaking and bios updates, so it's livable with at this point, but we'll see...

So that's my rant so far.. Just got to keep waiting...And keep breathing...

I have a Corsair RM650 that I'm pretty sure is the source of coil whine with my Sapphire Fury Tri-X OC card. I have an EVGA SuperNova G3 850watt that I'm going to swap it out for when my (shipped) NZXT AM4 bracket arrives.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think the exact same coil whine was present when I had an RX480 in there too...

 

[Crumpet]

The beast as it stands right now... Probably only 30% complete though.

Going to replace the RAM with samsung B die stuff, getting a Vega GPU (have a freesync monitor, otherwise would have bought 1080ti already probably.. maybe, maybe not...), fitting the $%£#@*! Kraken x62 and then getting Red and White sleeved cables.

Sorry only just seen this.

I bought this PSU after reading reviews that they'd used coil whine reducing practices etc and reviews had it at silent... But it's anything but.

I've had PSU's from CiT (yeah I know...), XFX, EVGA and Silverstone, this is my first Corsair PSU and it's not a good start... Even that cheapo POS CiT was quieter! Really don't want to send it back, but I won't be living with it like this.

Yeah, sad thing was I had their first serious entry into the PC market about 10 years ago with the TX650 I think it was, and it's still running strong in the PC I built that my friend has now.

I know the RM and RMi are not the same, but my 650W RMi is indeed silent. So whatever they screwed up with the RM they must have fixed with the RMi

My Corsair 650W RMx (refurb) I use on my test bench has some slight coil whine. None of my eVGA G2/P2 units do, however.

Memory latency results with the new 604 BIOS for the Prime X370 (AGESA code 1.0.0.4a)
3200 CL16 - still not Cold Boot-stable at CL14.

I just tried this BIOS and on my TridentZ Hynix RAM I'm no longer able to post above 2133 at 16-18-18-38 timings. On previous BIOS I was fine at 2933 at 16-16-16-36.

 

[Crono]

Have you tried any other voltage/CPU speeds? I have my 1700 at only 3.7 GHz but it's at 1.25v and I could probably go lower. Ryzen is so sensitive that you could sacrifice 100 MHz and drop temps/watts a ton.

I have the same memory as you also running at 2933 MHz. It's Hynix, for those not aware. I got it because it was so much cheaper than the Samsung b-die 3200 at CAS 14 timings. And I don't really care about the timings as much as I did saving $50. Like you, I'll wait for future updates from AMD for memory support.

So to those out there who get the CAS 18 3200 Corsair, it might be on the QVL (mine was) but it doesn't look like it will run at 3200 so don't waste your time. Set it at a still respectable 2933 and wait a month. You'll save yourself the headache.

It was stable at 3.8 GHz at 1.36v - at least in quick stability test - but it was crashing at 3.9 GHz until I raised it up to 1.392v. It's possible some other tweaks with SoC voltage, LLC, etc and after BIOS updates it would run stable at slightly lower voltage. I'll likely try for 4 GHz+ after cooling upgrade before going in the opposite direction and running it at lower speed and voltage for efficiency.

 

[DisEnchantment]

So... I am playing again with the BIOSes. .
Beta BIOS 0605 for Prime B350 Plus with AGESA 1004A is kind of buggy but I got these results..

I think there is a bug somewhere here, since my memory throughput seems a bit off. Only write is visible, since I don't have a full version
I discovered this is only possible at certain overclocks. In most clocks it is around 48000 MB/s. It can't be the sleep bug because this is the new AGESA.
Anybody could throw some light??

Strangely I discovered I could run my Trident Z kits at 14-14-14-34 even though they are rated at 15-15-15-35.

Seen the weird AIDA results elsewhere too but don't have an explanation.

Does anyone need a am4 brackets for antec 600/1200 pro? I have a spare. Antec decided to send me two sets for some reason.

Just finished putting all components in the case. Waiting for 1600 now. Will go pick it up tomorrow after work, if I can manage to order. Scan.co.UK apparently will open order at 2pm GMT.

Yeah I might check out Microcenter tomorrow if they will have a deal on the 1600.

It shouldn't whine like that, regardless of power draw. Hell it's only one 290 and you're on a 1000W PSU? I've pushed this EVGA p2 750 to its rated limit without that.

It's AMD's microcode update for Ryzen. In this case 1004a includes the memory latency improvement and some other small fixes. YMMV on memory clocks still.
