This is right out of my butt, so unless others give it a nod I would hold off as a last resort. Use some strong zip ties and pull the holy jeebuss out of them to hold the block in place?
Grrr. Got my build all put together only to discover that the backplate I have is the wrong one. The CH6 has mounting holes for AM2/AM3 and AM4 backplates and I just so happened to have a dead AM2 motherboard laying around. So I bought a Raystorm Pro with the AM3 mount kit since that's all I could find in stock. Turns out the AM2/AM3 backplate has threads that start about a 1/4" down the hole as you can see in the image below.
The screws that come with the Raystorm block are too short to catch the threads.
What I need is a backplate with threads that start at the top of the screw hole like this.
This backplate would work perfect but it has M3 threads where the AM3 block kit has 6/32 threads from what I can tell.
Any ideas besides waiting for an AM4 mount kit to come back in stock?
Hmm, I don't see a new one here: http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-5-rev-10#support-dl Where do you see one? Last BIOS release on the .us site is March 2nd.
In a month or two, you'll start seeing Ryzen 5 (4c8t and 6c12t) closing in on that price range, if not below it. They likely won't clock higher than Ryzen 7 though, which means Intel 4c8t CPUs will still have some pure performance advantages (at least for gaming). OTOH, those are €300+.Normally my budget is around 220 euro for my cpu , most i5 fall even outside that category these days , e.g 7500 -250 euro but lately there has been 7700/7600/6700 k or non k deals that are -30/ to 70 euro cheaper and finally make sense again for me. I ordered my 1700 (326euro) just because the price/performance is/was so much more than the intel offerings in the 220-250 category , but starting to wonder now with all these deals.
It looks like threaded inserts. Do they look removable? If so see if you can find some longer ones. 6/32 is 6-32 in screw terms?

Why not get a proper external dac/amp? That way you avoid EMI noise from inside your case, and often get better components to boot. Sennheiser launched a series that's been very well recieved just recently: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/gaming-amplifiers-accessories
Supposedly they have great audio quality, good surround emulation (if you want it), and a few (actually useful!) extra features. Given that it's external, it'll last you as long as USB and Windows is a thing, too, no matter what form factor your next 1, 2, 5 or whatever PCs are.
Hi all, I am still annoyed that my memory doesn't appear to want to run at anything higher then 2100 speed with the following setup.

Not sure, but I have been refreshing all day, at a minimum evey 30 minutes. When I saw the SLI, I went to every minute for 1/2 hour, and now, every 5 minutes. Never seen it change.Since the AsRock X370 Killer SLI/ac is now back in stock, was the Asrock X370 Taichi in stock and I missed it because I blink or was out of stock all along?
I'm having some issues with my new build... I have a 1700 with an ASUS Prime X370-Pro with the latest BIOS 0504 and I cannot seem to be able to chance the core ratio or the option to change the BCLK to overlock my CPU. :-(

Is there anything anywhere that explains what those fields mean? I don't believe we should just be setting values in those arbitrarily. Manual doesn't explain anything.AI Tweaker, CPU core ratio to manual and then the CPU frequency equals (FID/DID) x 200.
It is possible, since my taichi backorder is being packaged as we speak.Since the AsRock X370 Killer SLI/ac is now back in stock, was the Asrock X370 Taichi in stock and I missed it because I blink or was out of stock all along?
arggg.... How did you get that ? never seen anything but "auto-notify"It is possible, since my taichi backorder is being packaged as we speak.
Kind of doubt it though.
Backordering was up for maybe an hour on the 2nd of march. I just got really lucky, and refreshed the page at the right time.arggg.... How did you get that ? never seen anything but "auto-notify"
