man so am I. it's an 1800X -2 cores for half the price. It ticks all my boxes.
now i'm in serious need of a monitor and GPU upgrade.
Really impressed with the 1600x cpu.
Man it looks like ram was finalized extremely late in the process ! This product was rushed to the market.
We dont know where this stuff end but one have to wonder if may agesa is just a stepstone. A cpu that gets 1% faster each month just by biosupdates. Crazy stuff.
...then it means the product wasn't finalized and tested properly before being launched in the first place. It's like buying a new car and getting the steering wheel FedEx'ed 2 months later...

You can't afford 27" 4K HDR high refresh rate, so you want to go for 24" 1440p non-hdr (heck, LOW dynamic range and color gamut given that it's a TN panel) and only fulfill your refresh rate criteria? That seems odd. Why not hold off a little at least until a HDR 1440p 144Hz monitor comes along at an acceptable price? 27" 1440p VA panels are becoming common, and HDR is starting to arrive for real. Give it a few months (unless your current monitor is some ancient 1080p60 panel, then I understand your itch).Same feeling. Upgraded my GPUs, now I'm researching monitors. What I want (4k, HDR, 120-144Hz variable refresh) isn't yet a thing at a price I could afford (the ROG Swift PG27UQ ticks all the boxes but it's too expensive for me), so I'm considering going for an Acer Predator XB241YU as my primary/gaming and getting a 27-32" 4k IPS/IGZO display later on.
This is what happens when you get the build/upgrade itch. You can't stop scratching.
4x dual rank should give a bit more performance then 4x single rank, all other thing equal

Friend is back with a couple of surprises for me. Unfortunately I can not disclose said surprises at this time. I will just say they are going to be fun surprises for me.
Vega? Lol
That's the nature of buying a new platform. Was it X58 that Intel had to recall all of the mobos? Also AMD is very resource strapped on top. These are all very minor issues.Well in one way it's great that they can keep improving the CPU and platform post-launch, but on the other hand, if all the improvements AMD are bragging about (improving memory support, reducing latency etc.) are just fixing silly bugs like the DRAM boot voltage, then it means the product wasn't finalized and tested properly before being launched in the first place. It's like buying a new car and getting the steering wheel FedEx'ed 2 months later...
Back to my original question, which I believe was the start of all this. Does 2x16 (dual rank) have any inherent advantage over 4x8 (single rank)? It seems like no, by what you guys are saying.
Yes, Ubuntu 17.04 64bit AMD version works fine for me. Only you have to use the second option when trying it out with live cd from DVDr or flash drive.I think its called ahci mode. After installing you must upgrade to the latest kernel which is like 4.11 or 4.10 I think.Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu 17.x/openSUSE in MSI B350 board? I am trying to install, but it does not see any of my disk in RAID mode (fdisk -l returns no Sata drives), while in ADHI mode, it detects the SATA drives but not the partitions.
any thoughts?
Thanks for the confirmation. yes, that seems to be the issue, I am on RAID0, i think the drivers for AMD B350 raid is not baked into the installer yet. And the AHCI does not work for me because my GPT lists the drives as RAID and hence the installer skips it altogether.Yes, Ubuntu 17.04 64bit AMD version works fine for me.

Wow, I'm dumb, yes it did. That didn't occur to me for some reason, even though I'm sure I saw it when I first opened the box. Thanks, you saved me $33. Installed, AMD + Nvidia harmony:
EDIT: Looks like it's working
Fantastic graphics and physics scores, but why on earth is your combined score lower than what my mere 2500k+ single 1070 gave me?

noob question...how do you post pictures here? (not with links!)
You need an image hosting service that allows you to directly link to the picture. I use imgur. Upload your pics there, embed them using [ img] brackets or using the "picture" icon above the text input field.noob question...how do you post pictures here? (not with links!)
Yep, That'll do it and they work great. This is the same set i have but mine are white. Awesome price to!! I paid $108 with $10 MIR for each 2 x 4gb pair around Christmas time, so $216 total for all 4 sticks and now you can get a full 4 stick set for only $86 bucks is a steal. I should grab this set before they sell out.Great find!!DDR4 for all you poor peasants!

Anandtech disable image uploading. They don't want to host a large amount of images I guess.noob question...how do you post pictures here? (not with links!)
Not a bad question at all. Heck I even had to ask this several times before I got an answer. It used to be you could just link a picture right to your post but they seem to have changed that system over the years. Now you have to have a host like photobucket or Imgur ect.. to upload them then they provide a URL code to embed when you click on the mountain looking icon with a sun or moon on the tool bar above when you post.noob question...how do you post pictures here?
