Asrock Taichi has very good vrm and its cheaper too.

Already got the Gigabyte and so far so good, but I haven't entered OC land yet (want a stable install first). Still, information is power, so thanks.

Just started mine up- was able to set the ram at 2666 w/o issue. Will need to try again when I get a chance

Johan45 · Jun 16, 2017

I intentionally went and bought the cheapest DDR4 3000 ( Team Delta Cl16-18 MFR) ram I could find locally, less than half the price of good Samsung just to see what I could do with it on my CHVI. Well long story short there was a bit of frustration, a lot of crashing/swearing. Never actually threw anything but sure felt like it a couple of times. There was no way I could make it boot with a higher divider than 2933. So I finally took a different approach like we did in the early days of AM4 and used some BCLK and a lot of patience. Finally got them up to 3200 and will keep them in my HTPC with the 1600x at 3.94 GHz on stock volts, P-state OC with LLC set at 2 and SOC manually to 1.0V on a crappy overpriced CM V8 I bought in a pinch years ago. I finally have a use for it. Keeps it just below the boiling point with IBT AVX @ 75% ram

Tightened the memory up a bit and did my final testing. P95 Ver 29.1, custom with 13000MB ram allocation for ~ 11 hours. My HTPC is done, now just need to swap over to my SSD and get off this platter finally. I have to say not bad for a $110 CDN set of ram when this 3200 CL14 is $240 here https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232205

I can almost call myself in this club: CPU and RAM have arrived. Only waiting for the board now.

HTC · Jun 21, 2017

Look @ what i just received:

Add this to:

Not 100% in the club just yet but, as soon as it's installed and running, then i'll be in all the way :toast:

Hurry up @HTC! The suspense is killing us!!

I'll start the build tomorrow morning, after a few things that i have to do first: will probably only be up and running by the day after tomorrow, assuming i don't run into any troubles.

The good news is the PC didn't blow up when i pushed the power button ...

The bad news is ... i can't get the damn mouse to work in Windows 7 ...

Funny thing is, the mouse works just fine in the BIOS ...

cadaveca · Jun 23, 2017

try different plug for the mouse; Windows7 lacks drivers for Summit Ridge USB controller so you may be screwed.

I keep a PS/2 keyboard for just such occasions.

you probably need to slipstream the USB driver to the win 7 installer

I remember reading about that, but i don't have such a mouse, yet: in the process of borrowing one from a co-worker.

Do have another potential problem, though: my keyboard is PS2 as well, and the Taichi only has 1 PS2 port.

bencrutz said:

A bit late for that now ...

Johan45 · Jun 23, 2017

Hook the mouse up then and attach an ODD if you can. Just use the mobo disc for drivers and it'll be fine

The board supports using a y-cable for PS/2 IIRC.

I used the keyboard-on-the-screen and managed to get a loaned PS/2 mouse but i just can`t get the USB controllers to get installed

Re-installing Win 7 didn't help

Often get crash errors when attempting to install the all-in-one driver, but i have manage to get it installed, i think: still no USB access

If it works fine in the BIOS, it's using the Microsoft generic HID driver.
So, uninstall all drivers for the mouse except the Microsoft HID driver and use that.

BIOS doesn't use drivers at all.

The issue is Windows 7 not supporting the usb controller, as noted.

Did you install the AMD chipset drivers?

Aren't they a part of the all-in-1 driver package?

Regardless, just went and installed that, to make sure: still nope

Funny thing is, i managed to get the front USB ports working in the previous Win 7 install but can't in this one.

EDIT

If installing the chipset drivers doesn't work, is there any other way? If not, then i'll have to go Linux after all.

Durvelle27 · Jun 24, 2017

Is it worth watercooling a 1600

EarthDog · Jun 24, 2017

You may get 100mhz more over air...but that depends on the sample.

Norton · Jun 24, 2017

@HTC you could just go with win10?

You should be able to enter the win7 key during the install or skip and activate it with the key following the install.

Installation on my setup (Asrock mb/1600X) took less than 20 minutes with no problems.

you have to slipstream in xhci drivers for modern platforms to get it to work on w7...
