Tried searching for a manual of that board but couldn't find one: figured it would show some BIOS pics

I know the 32 GB dual rank RAM the dude that i linked in my previous reply does do 14 CL @ 3200 but that is on the board he's using: may not be the case in other boards.

Check this video he posted of him running prime AND heaven in a loop for over 9h:

So duel rank runs on ASRock then.. but it's not available at Amazon so no can't do..

I tried running gta and diyinglight and both ran well together lol. CPU is a monster...

Hope gigabyte board will work good for me and some say it will let me run my duel rank 32GB at 3200 or more. I am unable to change the Bus speed Not sure why msi is not letting me change that

I know the feeling: AsRock AM4 boards still unavailable in my country

I've decided on which board to get over 2 weeks ago but can't yet due to it not being available in my country so my AM4 system upgrade is on the back burner, for now.

I just checked Gigabyte board k7 and it looks like it's a 6+4 vrm and is one of those boards that has adjustable BCLK setting.

Boards with adjustable BCLK settings...

(Asus Crosshair VI, Gigabyte K7, Asrock Taichi or Asrock Fata1ity Professional),

I don't think ASrocks 12+4 VRM will matter as RyZen won't go past 4.2ghz anyway..

I took the plunge yesterday and ordered a R5 1600X after they released. All parts should be here on Friday

I can't wait to build my new rig. This will be quite the step up from my current i7 960.

Looks like a great chip.

There's a new BIOS that I'm having really good luck with. http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...rosshair VI overclocking thread&txt=BIOS 0082

I've seen that on another forum you inhabit I think. What are it's advantages?

 

[Johan45]

Makes memory OC much easier IMO. They added some mem specific profiles as well. There are actually three version but I found this one to work the best with my samsungs
Here's the post for more specifics http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/7430#post_25993028
Yeah I get around a bit

I think that you're gonna like it.

I think that you're gonna like it.

Did you manage to fix your memory issues?

I would also like it if i could get my hands on the board i want but it's still unavailable in my country

You still looking at an ASRock board? Most of their boards are sold out on Newegg in the States as well. I was hoping they'd be in stock again with the R5 release, but clearly that's not the case. I really wanted the Taichi, especially with the aesthetic design.

I decided to go with the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon myself as an alternative. Fingers crossed that all turns out well.

Congratz on your decision!

Not @ an AsRock board: @ that AsRock board. Not interested in any other boards.

If my upgrade plans end up being delayed by 3 months, so be it: i'm in no rush. I'll only purchase when all items are available and not before.

 

[Tatty_Two]

OK I think I am going to take the AMD plunge, I don't need 8 threads for what I do really but as that's all that's available at the moment.... the basis of my build is............

Ryzen 5 1500X
MSI B350 Tomahawk Updated to Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 (just for the dual Bios.....might need it!)
Coolermaster liquid 240 AIO (Verified AM4 compatible)
Updated to: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB (2x 8GB) 3600MHz cl17, single rank, Samsung B.

Does this lot seem balanced? Seen a couple of reviews and it appears that the 1500X overclocks quite well although I appreciate it's early days (4.2gig on average boards at under 1.4v). I have been tooing and froing between Intel and Ryzen for weeks now and need to take the plunge, throwing this out in here rather than the Ryzen discussion thread as I know most here actually are living with Ryzen.
My only current hesitation is whether to stick with the Tomahawk or go Gigabyte Gaming 3 B350.

Apologies that I am not quite a Ryzen owner yet, I will give myself 5 points for trolling

Good idea, and there is a good chance that they'll release something that is better. (Ryzen being a new platform invites change)

You troller you ...

Then i'll take another 5 since i'm in the very same situation.

I haven't put my Ryzen system together yet.
Right now, I'm building an X99 system for my youngest son who lives cross country and I want to get it finished and mailed before I start the Ryzen build.
The AMD FX-9590 box that I already sent him is not cutting it for his engineering tasks.

I still have that Geil DDR4-3200MHz. EVO-X RAM to use in the 1700X and after checking, it ~is~ single sided. So I'm hopeful it will work at speed.
I also checked in my other systems and I found some GSKill Ripjaws-V 3200MHz. RAM that is single sided. (I already pulled two 8GB sticks out of the i7-6700K box)
All in all, I don't think that memory will be an issue for me.

I'm chomping at the bit to get started on the 1700X, but first things first.

Personally I like the platform so far, in many things the IPC is very close to Kaby and about even with broadwell. dollar for dollar you really can't beat it. Drawback ATM would be limited overclocking and memory compatibility. The memory is slowly working itself out with updates. If you don't mind a few quirks that you get with a new platform then go for it.

Looks like it'll be a good setup, I wouldn't go for that ram though, I bought that same kit and it didn't work well for me. Although to be fair that was on the earlier bios and on an Asus board so maybe it'll work for you.
Here's an idea.. Since you're in the UK, do you want me to post you my set to try first?

 

[techtard]

Anyone know if the Asus X370 Pro is any good? I pulled the trigger on a Ryzen 5 1600 and that mobo, saved over $200 from my original plan of x370 Taichi and a 1700. The upgrade itch done burned a hole in my wallet.

By coincidence, and thanks for the offer by the way but I have found some very reasonable GSkill Z's rated 3600mhz @ cl17 which was a no brainer replacement, again single rank and verified Samsung B, luckily I found this that helped........

[infrared]

That's a pretty useful resource, nice!

No worries, I think you'll be much happier with those g.skill sticks

@ techtard Not familiar with that board, but Asus' pro series of motherboards generally seem to work well. Let us know how you get on

 

[phanbuey]

if I had to buy again I would have gone with a cheapo asus b350 mobo and a cherry picked 1700 from silicon lottery that could do 4Ghz. would have saved $200.

That's a cool offer. Cheers to you Man!

Finally I can contribute here I've managed to make my 1700x GA-Gaming K7 and Trident Z up and running.

But encountering a bit of problem with my rams getting it's rated speed up and running.

Now here's my current set up:

RAM: Pair of G. Skill Trident Z F4-3200C16-8GTZSK (single rank rams)
BIOS F3 (latest non beta)
1700x
Vcore normal voltage + .00625v offset
VSoc 1.1
multi at 38
volts Ram : auto
(Managed to get prime 95 stability for hours w/ no xmp enabled ram running at 21333mhz)

Now I tried same set up but changed a few things
Enabled XMP
Changed ram voltage to 1.4v
^ It can boot up to windows fine but when prime starts it ends up with error messages something like :
Prime 95 ERROR:rounding was 0.5 less than 0.4 on a number of workers but still computer works without problem , but just to be safe shut off the machine.


Next things that I tried is to enter the values manually
but I get a boot loop and back into bios without the settings sticking

Right now am running at 2,666 no problems (this is manually inputted)

Any inputs to get 3200 or xmp working would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Try following the steps described here and see how it goes.

Though the board is different, dude uses this sort of approach for any AM4 board he uses.

See if that helps.
