Welp... updated my Asus Prime X370-Pro mobo to the latest Bios 0803 with AGESA 1006 and I still cant get my 3000MHz Trident Z RGB sticks to run at 2993 :-(
The 1600X seems to behave extremely well under water. Mine hovers at ~30 degrees idle in my custom CPU+GPU loop (1x240mm rad + 1x 120mm rad, Nidec Gentle Typhoon fans) with the fans barely moving at all. Load temps are harder to pinpoint as it's very dependent on fan speeds (only one fan is controlled by the CPU temp, the other ones are temporarily hooked up to my case's fan controller due to a lack of fan ports), but they've never bothered me. I'm rather envious of your SSD, thoughFor the last month, I've been a happy mother of a 1600X based system. Here is what I got:
Fractal Define C
Ryzen 1600X (w Corsair H110i Extreme)
Asrock X370 Taichi
G.SKILL Flare X 16GB 3200Mhz
XFX RX480 8GB GTR OC
Samsung 960 EVO 1Tb
Seasonic Prime 650W Titanium
Very satisfied so far. Was originally going for the 8 core, but 1600X had such a good price that I decided to go for it. With the money difference I chose to double the PCI-E SSD size and refrain from getting a HDD altogether.
Someone handed me some industrial PWM Noctua fans too (the black ones), so I promptly put 5 on them in the rig (2x140 on the rad, 2x140 on the top and a 120 on the back). Was seriously doubting whether that was a good choice as soon as I POSTed, those 2000rpm fans are pretty loud!. I was psychologically ready to dabble on speedfan for a day or two, but I found out that simply running the Asrock BIOS option for auto fan control made the whole rig whisper quiet. The fact that both GPU and PSU run fanless on idle/browsing/movies etc helps a lot too.
Have not tried OCing yet, other than setting the memory to a 3200Mhz 14/14/14/34/52 profile. The whole thing is reporting pretty good temperatures though, to the point that I don't hear the fans unless I'm stressing the system. At all.
And running something like Furmark/Prime95 for an hour or so provides still glorious temps (that 280 AIO+Noctua combo is worth it)..albeit with increased sound.
So far, so good. Really recommending both the case and the fans to anyone interested btw.

55C torture testing on a wraith spire? Do you live in an igloo?Ryzen is extremely well behaved temperature wise. My 1700 doesn't break 30C idle, with full load hitting around 45C. Torture testing can push that to 55C, but you wont see that with normal workloads. The most impressive is that this is with the stock Wraith Spire cooler. I do have a well ventilated case, but still.

is there any way to get more than 2gpus in the long run??

Look into a Ryzen Treadripper 16core.
Are you ready to drool

The platform is always going to be limited to 20 lanes. A Mobo company could always ad a plx chip to get more out of it. But the choices they make on Ryzen affect the whole platform up to the 32 core EPYC.My understanding is that Ryzen will never allow for more than dual-GPU due to only 20 PCIe lanes, is this true? Maybe in Zen2, anybody got more info? I'm looking to build this for GPU computing (rendering and animation to be more precise) so SLI/Crossfire is not even a consideration, in fact you have to disable it for the render engine to work properly.
Here's my current list for the build:
Corsair Obsidian 900D
Asus CROSSHAIR VI HERO
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, Zen, 8-core with SMT, 3.6GHz (comes with OC service to 4GHz)
Corsair Hydro Series H110i - 280mm AIO liquid cooler (Thanks Dante80 for feedback on efficiency!)
16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2400MHz (not fussed about RAM too much, it's GPU memory that counts for me)
11GB EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 (one for starters and looking to add more as budget becomes available - hence the quad-gpu question)
1000W Corsair RM, Full-Modular
250GB Samsung 960 Evo, PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD
Corsair ML140 PRO (a couple of them...)
Any feedback is more than welcome, only getting it in August, this puppy will set me back £2500, happy to hear about new tech becoming available in the meantime.
Would love to switch to AMD, have always been a fan, my first 1GHz build back in 2003 was based on Athlon, but it's like choosing between Lamborghini and Landrover for off-road trips, you'd love the Lambo but the butt-ugly Landrover is better at this. Ryzen seems my (and many others') ticket to finally realiably switching to AMD, is there any way to get more than 2gpus in the long run??
Cheers!

You're entirely right. The only way this will change from what we already know is if PCIe 4.0 arrives earlier than expected and forces AMD to update/refresh their AM4 platform before their (stated) 2020 goal. Until that happens, 16 lanes for GPUs and 4 for storage is where it's at.The platform is always going to be limited to 20 lanes. A Mobo company could always ad a plx chip to get more out of it. But the choices they make on Ryzen affect the whole platform up to the 32 core EPYC.
Want more lanes get the low end of TR spectrum when that comes out.
When you overclock the cpu, does cool n quiet (like Intel speedstep) still work or do the clocks and voltage stay elevated even during idle periods like during browsing.........
Anyways, I tried setting the previous settings, which were 3800 Mhz core clock, 1.3250V, which I'm at now, but I also used to have my RAM overclocked slightly. I had my Team Dark 2x8GB DDR4-2400 running at 2667. I tried the same thing with the new 2.50 UEFI, and this time, the XMP timings are sticking, even though I chose a higher freq. for the RAM. Looks like I have to increase the timings manually. Before (with UEFI 2.40), it bumped them from 14-16-16-31, to 18-18-18-42 or something like that. (Verified with Ryzen Master.)
Still doesn't appear to have any UEFI settings for the LLC or SoC voltage, or offer an "offset" option for the voltages.
I'm quite sure the VRMs are the same for both versions of the Pro4 and also the K4.Not having LLC is pretty obnoxious. I wonder if they're using different VRMs in the AB350M Pro4 vs the B350 Pro4?

We are in the same boat. Can't get my RAM to run at 3400MT.
Just started overclocking a 1700 on the Taichi. Two quick questions:
1) I'm getting some crashes with AIDA64's FPU stress test in an otherwise stable system. Some of what I read online is that it's an unrealistic test and should be disregarded. Thoughts? What's a good "final" determination of stability?
2) FPU aside, I'm stable at 3.7 with 1.3v. A little surprisingly, I'm not stable at 3.8 at 1.35v (crash happens before temps even get high). Is there anything else I can mess with before resorting to higher voltage? I'd hoped to keep things at 1.35 for longevity and temperature reasons.
