here are the picks of the unboxing and initial installation of cpu ram and m.2 drive.

















more to come in the morning :toast:
:eek:

I just spotted I have the connectors on wrong... lucky I checked...



waiting for new am4 bracket.


viola!
the corsair bracket will fit any modern aio cooler as all use the same design for bracket attachment. here's the fit of the corsair bracket on my thermaltake cooler.

heres the close up.
although coverage of the thermal paste needed to have a much wider circumference.
this was the coverage after being uninstalled. the difference compared to arctic silver was 45c for AS and 51c for the stock tt water3.0.

the system was ready after having the cabling installed

first thing I did was update the bios to 1002 as recommended

I then installed a dvdburner to read the cd that came with the motherboard as windows hadn't automatically loaded a temporary driver. this was worrying as I have seen the driver in the package. anyway I installed the drive and started to install the Ethernet drivers when everything stopped with code21 and others. I tried over and over using my note 4 edge to download all the drivers. after 8hours of trying everything I know how, right down to looking through the registry and changing one or two values, the best I could do was install a driver that windows would never run. not under any circumstances. the reason being the hardware was only partly functioning.so in effect it functioned enough to say what it was to the system bus. the Ethernet port also had a solid orange light and a solid green light at either side of the connection and my router couldn't see my computer at all. I started thinking about the case giving me a static shock when I put it on the desk, and here in lies my problem. the case was live and had damaged the motherboard. a total disaster. luckily my new board arrives in the morning.


the saga continues! :slap:

new rgb led strips for nightrider effect across side of case.

new board arrived within 3 days


now that I know this memory runs very well straight out of the box i'll post a pic of the exact module I'm using.

first of all I needed to find out if my psu was ok. it worked fine on my other pc but hardware can be finicky at times. so uninstalled it and took the top off and cleaned the new corsair fan I added a while back and get rid of very little dust. the psu is still in perfect condition.

I carefully installed the motherboard and powered on the system without any fans apart from the cpu and there was no feedback. praise the lord!!!!

I'm using the original acrylic side door as a temporary measure while I etch the new tempered glass door...
I havnt set up the rgb's yet but from what ive found so far. the hardware/software is a little new, and is going to take up at least until the next bios to work properly. I don't fancy setting them all up only to reboot and have a disco on my hands...

the front base no longer works with the latest bios 1201 although you can see we have basic functionality if were lucky... I may go back to the other bios if this isn't sorted quickly as I'm used to having a front base and referencing temps etc...
next is to get some new cables and finish the etching....
meanwhile I can save for the new water cooling parts...
heres what the rgb's on board look like. I have two, one blue riing fan plugged in being replaced in the morning with the red corsair magnetic fans. I still need another 5 of those to comlete the build as i'll put the h100i or the kraken x41 on my titan Xpascal.


so today ive been researching the bios, the memory needs a certain amount of power in the line measured in ohms. this setting is worked out by the cpu/chipset. this is the reason some people are having a hard time getting there ram to 3200 and beyond. this and the timings. you have to relax the timings.
my chip sits at 4.1 under load stock on the latest ch6 bios.
from my general observations of cpuz voltage... ive noticed that the chip will sit at 1.417@4.1ghz before spiking to 1.5v then instantly dropping... this spike necessitates the need for an overclock. I'm hoping we get the new dividers soon as I hate overclocking with base clock. id rather leave that as close to 100 as possible. there is supposed to be a divider so that when you set 125base clock. the cpu uses the divider to allow the rest of the system to run @100 so you don't get any wonky behavior... I'm not sure if this is even implemented and working on the ch6.yet.
I updated my chipset from the AMD site to the latest adding a new power plan to w10.
I also found a serious FIRE RISK using RGB STRIPS from the mainboard.
I tested the additional rgb lights using the supplied usb connection with ir controller. the strips didn't even become war.
when I plugged them into the ch6 they seemed to be functioning. I opened up aura and as usual there was no added option. so I couldn't control the colour of the added rgb lights. so I went to move one and the heat was immense. I could smell the glue melting on the back of the strip. I quickly unplugged them and literally threw them onto my desk. I think if i'd nipped out for 10 minutes I would of burnt the house down. luckily that didn't happen. I was making a review which I aborted as a result. it looks like I'm gonna have to wait for asus to catch up with their bios implementation on this board. apart from that games are running really well. as a test the first game I ran was Tom Clancy Wildlands. it was way smoother than it had been on the 4770k. benchmarks would indicate they are virtually even but the amd system just feels smoother. I cant explain it. yet.
while I get the etching out of the way to avoid that 1.5v spike I'm going to work on an oc so will update on any tips people may find useful. :toast:

solved the spike issue without effecting the boost up to 4.1ghz. which is where it sits @ most of the time unless I set the power plan to a lower minimum like 50%. on the AMD power plan for w10 this setting is 70%.
the spike to 1.5+v was solved using asus ai suite 3. and using p-states.
I wasn't going to install this program as its been dodgy in the past, but in the end I wanted to see what kind of numbers it gave in comparison to cpu-z/task manager etc.
I was surprised to find I could click on the voltage controls and limit the power to 1.417. keeping the other p.states working normally. ive noticed the bus speed jumps around in cpu-z. I'm going to set this to 100 in the bios and see how the core logic handles the change and the difference if any in temps.

Since updating to 9945 I have been playing around with custom P-states.

by leaving the main settings for oc and then going into amd zen settings. I was able to add 4 p-states. in total I think there are 8 p-states available.

I managed to set my cpu to 1.35-1375v with it dipping down to 0.8v. the lowest clocks the cpu will use is 2682mhz and it will switch between that and 3199mhz.
overclocking has been performed using the bios only. I havnt even looked at ryzen master.
I don't want to introduce any more unknowns while new bios are still coming.
I'm still testing but this is a fast cpu... ram is @3499mhz+(I hit the imc lotto)
I also got my lighting to work this is THE FIX FOR AURA!!!!!!!!
TO FIX AURA YOU MUST INSTALL OUT OF PROGRAM FILES LIKE DOCUMENTS. or go into task manager and make sure you don't have a previous install still running.

heres a cpu-z screen shot


2 corsair magnetic ml140's with red led are on the way. I also bought a 24pin extension from cablemod. its a combination of red and black. so should look well on the board. I forgot the 6 and 4 pin connectors. I'll have to have another look.
and here they are installed, the build still has the acrylic door and aio water cooling. the gpu needs cooling aswell.
I'm just working on the art for the tempered glass door while I get my ram corruption issues sorted. (turns out aura can edit your spd's corrupting them with inadequate use of the smBus)


so my new 3466mhz trident arrived... they immediately went to 3200mhz mixed with my other pair of 4266mhz trident. they are both gtzr b-die and are literally the same. so running well together.
heres some pics..


WHAT IS IIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????

ram :)


3466mhz :)








just hit 3333mhz with 32gb ddr4 3266mhz trident rgb... result!!!!!!

ive been out most of the day and havnt even checked the other thread yet so I havnt worked the batch code out. thanks in advance for the help I appreciate it.

ok i'll prepare a flash drive with the latest bios on. go into bios and flash it in there. thanks for the advice. :toast:

installed the tt water 3.0 into the case and the front base. I'm using my 1200w psu from this build but ive left it till last as I need to wait for the am4 bracket.
I could take the metal backplate out and use the plastic am3 backplate but ive heard of people bending their boards so I'm gonna hold on. looks like it will be Monday when it gets delivered if I'm lucky... I may not be able to resist it...

Just curious, what speed are you expecting to be able to set your RAM at? I know some buy higher speed RAM just in hopes to get more stability, but I've never seen anyone clock RAM to higher than 3200 on a Ryzen build. I also see many doing so with just 3200 speed RAM with stability, so I have to wonder why the uber expensive 4000MHz kit?

Not enough wasted money for e-peen in that 1700 combo.

It's been there a while I tried to point at least two other people who created threads asking buy advice on the same or similar hardware but they seem to always hit "proceed to checkout" immediately after "Create new thread."

Def watching this one. Cool build @purecain
Did u sell your old pc?
@Frag Maniac
Amd are about to release about 20 microcode updates to improve ram speed compatibilities. Let's hope 4000 is one of them. On my phone or I'd link the youtube vid on it.

Good news, let's hope that means more MB compatibility too. This just might leave Ryzen open as an option for me. It will no doubt depend on Coffee Lake prices and performance.

I got it before the price hike... it was there cheaper than any of the other kits rated at lower speeds. I noticed the prices were all going up so I bought them. plus I wanted this set for the reason you suspected. overclocking. I don't want the ram to be a limiting factor. i'd like to achieve around 3600mhz, we'll see what happens. my system is sat half built as I'm waiting for corsair to send me an am4 bracket. got the confirmation email today stating the delivery was booked for Wednesday.
in two days i'll have the system running. :toast:

right people need to get this compatibility thing right... yes it is fully compatible. but you need to replace the back plate. the back plate I have is designed to fit over the top of the previous back plate. so it has no support for the socket. only plastic. sockets almost always have a metal backing...


so don't get it twisted and use any backplate... make sure you use a metal one. I'm using the one that came with the board. imo that's the best thing to use hence the new bracket. :toast:

p.s. ended up with a second corsair bracket. if you need it for your build please let me know and you can have it.

just rested up today, I'm gonna start the build tonight maybe. if not it will be in 2 days as I'm away tomorrow...


1.I'm gonna take the psu apart and clean it. check all the wiring when its on its side, like how its orientated in the X71.
2.install the psu and leave the board out on the table. power on the motherboard and test the case to see if it is live.
if it is live, i'll uninstall parts from the case one by one fan by fan until I find the culprit...
if the case is not live.
3.install the motherboard flash new bios
4.set ram to 3200 and 1.35v.
5.install w.10. + chipset&ethernet drivers. second board had issues installing gpu with w10.
6.install programs.
7.overclock(overclocking on aio could be average)
8.install RGB LED's in Night Rider sequence along the bottom of the glass door.
9.Etch tempered glass panel - still designing image.
10.replace aio with real water cooling £500 budget.
11. overclock.(should be able to handle more voltage now, up to 1.45v easily. amd recommend more voltage to stabilise clocks as long as you can dissipate the heat) my corsair h100i needs 80percent fan speed @ 1.4 so I'm hoping the bigger radiator on the 360 water3.0 does the trick. I want to be able to cool the cpu with fans at 40%, as I don't want the system to be loud.
ive bought a couple of corsair magnetic fans to test them out. the original tt rgb fans are noisy and will all need replacing I think. so another 5 fans will be another £100. but the pc will be almost silent.

more to come in the morning :toast:
:eek:

I just spotted I have the connectors on wrong... lucky I checked...



waiting for new am4 bracket.


viola!
the corsair bracket will fit any modern aio cooler as all use the same design for bracket attachment. here's the fit of the corsair bracket on my thermaltake cooler.

heres the close up.
although though coverage of the thermal paste needed to have a much wider circumference.
this was the coverage after being uninstalled.

the system was ready after having the cabling installed

first thing I did was update the bios to 1002 as recommended

I then installed a dvdburner to read the cd that came with the motherboard as windows hadn't automatically loaded a temporary driver. this was worrying as I have seen the driver in the package. anyway I installed the drive and started to install the Ethernet drivers when everything stopped with code21 and others. I tried over and over using my note 4 edge to download all the drivers. after 8hours of trying everything I know how, right down to looking through the registry and changing one or two values, the best I could do was install a driver that windows would never run. not under any circumstances. the reason being the hardware was only partly functioning.so in effect it functioned enough to say what it was to the system bus. the Ethernet port also had an orange light and a green light at either side of the connection and my router couldn't see my computer at all. I started thinking about the case giving me a static shock when I put it on the desk, and here in lies my problem. the case was live and had damaged the motherboard. a total disaster. luckily my new board arrives in the morning.


the saga continues! :slap:

new rgb led strips for nightrider effect across side of case.

WOW SAWEET BUILD!!!!!! DROOLING....JEALOUS...... but glad for you!

If you don't mind me asking. What happened to cause the case to be live?
OK, you don't know yet. I'll wait patiently. But please do tell when you find out, inquiring minds want to know.

right I'm back and I'm getting everything planned for tomorrow.
i'll clean my build area in the morning and start uploading pics as I go. its gonna be an unforgettable day for me. that's for certain.

i'll buy some new cables to match the build once ive finished.
I don't know which colour will be best yet.

I had a quick look at the leds. I think i'll just upload a little review to you tube in the morning and post the link if that's ok.
people in general are buying rebranded rgb led's. which cost way less than they are being sold for in the far east.

the set I picked up only has a limited number of routines available. so I will definitely need to use the motherboard connection and use pc software to create the night rider effect I'm looking for.

the included usb ir controller isn't bad but it doesn't offer enough customisation.imo
I would recommend the set I bought.

@trparky - I'm hoping the problem doesn't reappear. but if it does, I will take the time to find out why. as it could possibly help others in the future. :toast:

tomorrow I will officially be an AMD user once again.... I'm just praying everything works ok....

ps.I'm going to use arctic silver as the thermal paste on the 1800x. so i'll be able to compare the temps to that of the stock paste on the tt water 3.0.

@Tallencore- the system I'm using right now will be up for sale. let me know if your interested. my best bet for selling my parts would be to rebox everything and sell it on ebay but I don't mind helping another forum member out. pm me.

I'm using the leds to illuminate the etching on the glass door.... if I can get a pulsing or a night rider effect I think either one will look as impressive. I'm still designing the art for the template atm so it will be plane glass for a week or so. i'll post up a tutorial on etching glass when I'm done so everyone can etch their username into their case. at the very least...

looks like todays the day...

right now to have fun cleaning the psu and making sure its still in good working condition.

the next time I post it should be using my new system... pics to follow in op.

ha ha ha I cant get the bloody gpu installed this time......

It doesnt work the board wont let me install the gpu. Ive tried updating windows 10 still doesnt work. This is costing me money now aswell so i need to decide what im doing. After building 2 new pcs. They havnt worked. I simply cannot get an amd motherboard to work. Looks like its all going back. Big shame.
ive reinstalled the os for a second time and I'm trying all the fixes again. completely pissed off with it though. I had butterflies from the stress of it not working for hours... lol a real bad experience. it will all come right in the end though. that's why we love hardware... hopefully I'm getting all my badluck now so my next build will have flawless hardware...

well I didn't give up, it turned out to be windows afterall... a third run through installing windows 10 has sorted it out... I'm knackered. its taken me 8 hours plus to install a graphics driver... damn!!!

managed top get a couple of hours sleep, I'm still out of it. i'll post pics and continue the build tomorrow. still cant believe its actually working...
