I can say that mine is doing great at 100% load for months now. 3200 cl14 memory@ rated speedSo for the sub-$100 range in mobo's for a Ryzen 1700, what is recommended now? I've got an Asrock Pro4 in my queue, but not sure where it stands in reliability and BIOS updates.

That is a very good board, in fact this and the Krait are the best boards in terms of VRM capability. The only minor inconvenience though is the placement of the M.2 slot.I think there is a new B350 champion (if you can call it that, high-end budget board is kind of an oxymoron)...

Seems like it's being price gouged right now, but closer to $100 it should be a good deal. Solid 4+2 VRM design, Intel LAN, ALC1220 audio codec.
There are two dynamic Vcore options - Dynamic Vcore (DVID) and Dynamic Vcore SOC (DVID). I'm assuming that I'd add a .11 or so offset to Dynamic Vcore (DVID) to get me to 1.35?
Depends on what your BIOS is showing for your CPU's stock vCORE. I have to use 0.042v to get my vCORE @ 1.235v.
But yes, adjust that value until you reach your desired vCORE value.

I'm having good but interesting results on Asus's BIOS 1107 update.
A seemingly stable overclock on lower vcore compared to previous, but higher idle temps (~3c). Will have to investigate more tomorrow.
Much more experimenting to do tomorrow, I want to test lower vcores and seperately higher clocks. 4.2ghz should be on the cards with 1107.
Correct - Totally fresh new build. My current PC is an Intel 4690 w/r9 270x and 16gb ram. Keeping that machine as a server.So that's basically a totally new build for you?

This is the good stuff.Can you link me that memory please?

Ouch on the price. That will hurt the budget. That price on the cooler hurts too. I'm already almost stretched to max on the budget those two will put me $200 over. Got any cheaper but good suggestions?
Many of them are different from each other regarding timings and what chips they're using. You can ignore the Z170 thing though, that doesn't mean anything regarding Ryzen compatibility.Are the trident Z's models any different from each other besides color? NE has several listed for "Z170" mobos but look to be same stats as the red ones in link.
If you don't care about hitting 3200MHz just yet, Corsair Vengeance LPX (have this in a build, works great at 2933) or this G.SKILL Ripjaws V (Samsung B-Die, going by one comment and timings) are less expensive.
For the cooler, stick with the T4 or maybe go for the CRYORIG H7. Not sure if they are including the bracket AM4 yet, but you can request it separately if not.
Someone said the T4 would be clocked the wrong direction and would hit the ram. How can I verify that?
I agree. Not all that impressed with the D15 anyway. Even the 212 evo that was on it was doing OK. But I got it when almost nobody else had the bracket, thats a biggie. But I do have a 212 evo bracket, and it was sort of free ($7 just to ship it)If you don't care about hitting 3200MHz just yet, Corsair Vengeance LPX (have this in a build, works great at 2933 with my Ryzen 5 1600) or this G.SKILL Ripjaws V (Samsung B-Die, going by one comment and timings) are less expensive.

You should consider going for the 1600 instead of the 1600X. The included Wraith Spire should be good enough if you aren't trying to push for absolute maximum overclock, too, so you'll save money there as well. Don't think it's worth paying for the extra frequency bump or binning if you have a tight budget.
I didn't think about that but it's correct, the mounting for old AM3 compatible coolers without a bracket don't mount in the normal direction on AM4 boards (did some testing early after launch with a DEEPCOOL and a Be Quiet! cooler I had from other systems, and they were facing to exhaust out the top). You should go for anything with an AM4 specific bracket to avoid that.
If you are moderately overclocking, you can go for the 1600 and not have to worry about the HSF. The included Wraith Spire is sufficient, and the 1600X isn't worth it (in my opinion) for binning alone, especially if you have a tight budget. With the prices of the 570s going up or going out of stock entirely, I'd rather put the extra money towards a decent 580 (maybe even a 8GB version) or 6GB 1060 if it were me.
