LOL I was considering grabbing that open boxed crosshair, haha. We probably would have ran into each other. Question is, who would have held the door open for the other guy? First one in the door would have got that crosshair.
Bogg: "Good morning. Whatcha buying this morning?"
Elfear: "Oh nothing really, just a couple flash drives"
SPRINT TO MOTHERBOARD ISLE
I have the same problem concerning temps. Which cooling solution do you use? I read at Toms that due to changes with the backplate there might be some issues. Seems like my AlphaCool Eisbär could be affected. So atm I'm not too sure if I should set up the system at all.
Edit: I found a spare AM3 backplate laying around, maybe I'll try that one.
PH-TC14PE with the AM4 mounting kit. It uses the stock backplate but comes with its own washers, screws and retention brackets. Toms Hardware reported 78C in Prime95 with custom open loop water cooling, so in that case my temps are excellent considering I'm just using an air cooler and getting 3-4C lower temps with 2-3C higher room temps.

I'm not going to trust any temps until there have been a few more updates to BIOS and monitoring software. Like I said, the latest BIOS update caused my idle temps to go from 34C to 56C, which just doesn't make sense since full load temps didn't change. It must be reporting it wrong.
BTW, I tested High Performance and Balanced with a watt meter. Idle power draw was about 78-80W at the socket either way. So it seems you're just killing performance by using Balanced, even though Windows shows the CPU at a constant 3.6+ GHz in High Performance mode.
So which memory (gskill, corsair, etc) is samsung ?i heard that samsung works better than hynix for some reason.
I just realized I have a Deepcool Gammaxx 200T in an old build (an FM2 build... forgot I had a GTX 750 in there, too... neat ) just collecting dust, and apparently because it doesn't use a custom backplate/bracket, it actually fits. Going to proceed with build now, swapping out the Deepcool fan with a 92mm Arctic F9 first.
Yeaa. My bios on asus prime b350m is over 3 weeks old and cant update it yet.
On a 1700 non x, running stable at 3.8 all cores - 1.3375V. Cant go further as it is. As expected. Pretty nice 25% oc out the box. Standard cooler in hot conditions.
Some cores are stuck at 3.7 for the lower v it seems.
The trick is now to identify those - so efficiency and performance can go hand in hand.
Ha! I was running that exact scenario through my head on the way to the door. Hopefully having watched a few football games in my life would give me the needed moves to get that board.
Which store do you live near?
And I have heard that somewhere around 2666-3000 is the fastest you can get for ram that works, but get tight timings. Any recommendations here ?
.
Anyone put these under a custom waterloop? Interested in the temperatures and overclocks...

OK, I'm going to be that guy that bombs into the thread without reading the 37 pages of info and ask what MB y'all would recommend?
Even if his RAM blew up, I fail to see how that's related to Ryzen. Ryzen doesn't supply voltage/power to the RAM. Motherboard does.Just a heads up, this guy on Youtube had one of his Trident.Z RGB modules die and another stopped lighting up, they were working fine until he tried to clock them at 3000Mhz @ rated 1.35V, system booted but a minute later one stick was dead and both had no RGB!
The ASRock x370 Taichi seem to have the most robust VRMs. Its current supported memory speeds ain't all that.
Lots of people like the stability/functionality of the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming V, but chew over on XS is not impressed by its PWM.
The Asus Crosshair VI Hero seems to be getting the best memory clockspeeds so far.
With updates, I'm gonna go with the c6H as being "the best" but I could be wrong.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132963Having a problem finding c6h on newegg. I filtered for am4, and got 21 mottherboards, but even manual looking, I don;t see c6h anywhere.
And on the memory, so it seems that higher clock gskill is the samsung ? like over 2667 ?
