New Member, I need info to build my Ryzen machine
I have problems trying to understand which one would suit me well.
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 : OK, Minor OC on Air, will stock cooler do
Motherboard: B350 MicroATX , which one should I get, which Vendor will provide future BIOS updates
RAM: > 2x16GB 3000 MHz, CL15 would be OK? which RAM is most optimum. I cannot pay for expensive RAM.
I am curious if future BIOS updates could improve memory latency/performance. Also if microcode / firmware fixes in BIOS could improve CPU performance.
Also will there be a Win 10 patch for Ryzen? to improve performance. I am wondering if what I will get from 1700 could improve or if I have to go higher, but too expensive for not much performance boost.
I run Linux VMs in Win10 with lots of Compilation, and I want to game a little .
I want the 8 cores, finally I hope 1700 will be the one for me for 360 bucks.
The other components I am OK.
Please some one help me.
Many many thanks
Haggled Amazon and got upgraded to 1 day shipping and CPU now has been charged to card and is being packaged, shipping the 6th delivery 7th. Better than a week but still miffed... Mobo still hasn't changed.
At that time the bios is fixed and what not is fixed. Lol. Then you miss all the fun.Thought my motherboard arrived, but it was a different package. Amazon didn't have enough stock to fill my pre order. Won't be available again until April and AM4 boards are sold out across the continent. Looks like I can forget about this whole thing for at least a good month.

I guess most of us here are members of the "blue screens are fun" club, at least to a certain degreeYeah I know. I want in on the drama. I'm scouring the internets for a board.
If you are in the usa,Yeah I know. I want in on the drama. I'm scouring the internets for a board.
My status has updated so that my CPU is "preparing to ship". No update on the mobo. I'm not sure how they can justify not shipping my motherboard since I pre-ordered all the way back on the 19th.
They better find a way to get me that C6H.
Sujee: The item will be in stock within 1-2 weeks.
Sujee: In this case, I'll set a personal follow up with your order and I'll forward this issue to the concern department so that they will speed up the process and once the item is back to stock with the highest priority I'll make sure to deliver the package as soon as possible to you.
You can able to see the changes within 3 business days.
Microcenter seems to have them in stock, for in store purchases only. Just checked Frys, out of stock there.Thought my motherboard arrived, but it was a different package.

I've seen varying power phases for the different brands B350 boards from 6 to 10. would the 6 phase boards manage a 3.5 or 3.7 all core OC? How much do you think the stock cooler can handle?Amd sets strict demand for mb so any 350 should do fine. All will update their bios because they are not ready yet. Run your cpu at stock the first month or two then it will surely be fixed and update tools and bios after a month. Windows sceduler and most game etc will get there in half a year. No probs. The 1700 will last 6 years plus. I wouldnt bet the same for a 7700.
I think it was The Stilt who said you cant just compare phases like that. Its more complicated. My asus prime b350m runs 3.8 fine and surely would run 4.2 if needed if not even 5. I dont know how many phases it have. Didnt care to be frank as i dont take it as a measure of quality.I've seen varying power phases for the different brands B350 boards from 6 to 10. would the 6 phase boards manage a 3.5 or 3.7 all core OC?

My CPU has shipped now, ETA is now Monday, however the Motherboard hasn't budged...
Dang Newegg is dirty.. Asrock put out mail in rebates for their boards, and newegg jacked the price of the boards up to compensate. So, you are paying the about the same, but have to fill out the mir, and wait months for it to come.

Wow. Both funny and sad. I back ordered the Taichi like hours before they raised the price. But that is super slimy.Dang Newegg is dirty..

Ebay has 1700X plus Crosshair VI combos going for $1300. Also, 1800X and crosshair VI combos going for $950. What a bargain.
