A big part of that was their own doing. They put all in for the X2xx chipset boards but did very little for the Ryzen boards. Gigabyte looks to be the best boards right now and Asus the worst.
off course very understandable given how much time they had to get motherboards "ready"
Finally finished building.
Tried to boot... QCODE 48...Not listed in manual.
Tried bios flashback, didn't do anything.
Several reboots later suddenly started to work. This is so exciting

I've ran my Ryzen build for 3 days now. No issues, other than my RAM not being able to run at its full speed. Still thought the performance has been great. Aorus gaming 5 is a nice board, but the BIOS is very spartan currently. Like I can't even modify RAM voltage manually.They all screwed up, but relatively speaking Gigabyte may have screwed up the least. From looking at the reviews it seems quite a few people are getting DOA boards from Gigabyte also.
My ASUS B350 Prime Plus has the Micro Code Patch Level 8001105.
All boards from different vendors should have the same micro code patch right?
Lol dumbass, completely missed that field. I was setting an option for frequency to manual which gives you new FID/DID fields but the field below that allows the multiplier.Man that sounds weird but with asus bios in this stage you never know. Are you sure there is not a field that says "auto" and you can just write manually eg "38"?. Took me hours to discover how it was done on my asus b350m and it was something like that.
I set it to manual and was able to type in 1.35 which is automatically changed to 1.35000 for me.Remember to alter cpu voltage ofset and ram voltage using the -+ and not writing it. Lol
That is if its same methology as b350m.
Fantastic functionality!I set it to manual and was able to type in 1.35 which is automatically changed to 1.35000 for me.
That and Windows 10 is only running 1/3 to 2/3 of the cores and threads at any given time including under full load.Plus I am not even sure they are running correctly when they are activated.I am eagerly waiting for the updates, BIOS/Applications/Windows etc. Lots of things buggy as hell.
Windows cannot even tell the clock speed correctly, temperature readings, fans going all haywire
windows 8.1 works just fine. Still use it as my preferred OS. I think I've read it has the same issues currently as win10 with thread handling though. Hopefully it will get a patch along with 10.Just had a thought, will Win 8.1 work on the new Ryzen cpu's? Didn't I read something that only Win 10 was supported?

The tCTL sensor is derived from the junction (Tj) temperature—the interface point between the die and heatspreader—but it may be offset on certain CPU models so that all models on the AM4 Platform have the same maximum tCTL value. This approach ensures that all AMD Ryzen™ processors have a consistent fan policy.
Specifically, the AMD Ryzen™ 7 1700X and 1800X carry a +20°C offset between the tCTL° (reported) temperature and the actual Tj° temperature. In the short term, users of the AMD Ryzen™ 1700X and 1800X can simply subtract 20°C to determine the true junction temperature of their processor. No arithmetic is required for the Ryzen 7 1700. Long term, we expect temperature monitoring software to better understand our tCTL offsets to report the junction temperature automatically.
That explains a lot!Temp readings are wrong on 1700X and 1800X. Correct on 1700 however.

tl;dr
Weird temperature arithmetic, 1700X and 1800X don't actually run hotter than 1700 at same clocks, they just report hotter. Also explains why under certain BIOS settings my reported temps dropped exactly 20C...
That explains a lot!
jeesh... scalpers. If you are desperate for an X370 Taichi, here you go for $414,,,

NOT ME ! I am not that desperate.

I love your case, its super wide and looks nice and heavy.I bet it could fit 2 motherboards in there.
I've broken down and decided to order a NZXT x62 Kraken for my 1800x.
The Noctua D15S just can't keep up with temperatures for as far as I can push the CPU.
Currently, I am able to run 4.1ghz OC w/o SMT and keep temps reasonable while gaming, but it's really pushing it. A little more voltage and/or lower temps will probably let me turn SMT back on.
