For anyone having issues with memory, try upping the CPU SOC voltage a little. I'm trying 1.15v to get 3200Mhz CL14 to pass bloody Real Bench Lol.

Just don't go above 1.2v on the SOC Voltage. its related to the bricking issue. even on 0902.

Scrap that, it's actually Hynix. I thought they used Samsung, i checked before i bought. Just loaded up AIDA and can see it's Hynix :(. Balls.

think its irrelevant in regards to this issue with 0902. Something just posted from Elmor

2. DRAM settings, we changed to 2T when 2666 or higher ratio is used because of compability and helping some sticks work on the board. Unfortunately we can't set it dynamically or have an option for it until AMD gives us an update. I think overall it should be better for all, if you want to keep 1T you can use 2400 or lower DRAM Ratio + increase REFCLK (140-145 with 2400 DRAM Ratio is a sweet spot).

I'm only now up to 1.1V on SOC - default is 0.85V - on my current board and B350 I had. And all I'm trying to do it get stock speeds stable...

Hi all, what is the fan like with the 1700 and is it a noisy cooler? Just asking as I might buy one and want to know if it is worth replacing the cooler :)

Strangely WoW seems smoother on the 1700X than on the 4930K, Which is odd as the IPC advantage shouldn't really be noticeable in game and the game is threaded about as well as a GCSE sowing project.

I would guess anything else that starts up in the background has more cores to play with. BF1 for example really pushes a four core CPU on 64 player multiplayer and anything starting up in the background really impacts game performance. On an 8 core CPU this has little if any noticeable impact.

Important information for crosshair VI owners:

Couple of things:

1. Temperature readings on 0902 and pre 5803. We tweaked it a bit too far and will be reversed in future updates, you can manually go back to stock/5803 behavior by going to Tweaker's paradise and set Sense MI skew = Enabled and Sense MI offset = 272 (0902 setting when overclocked is 283). Reading too low can affect your DRAM stability, so if your system is reading less than 30*C I suggest you set it.

2. DRAM settings, we changed to 2T when 2666 or higher ratio is used because of compability and helping some sticks work on the board. Unfortunately we can't set it dynamically or have an option for it until AMD gives us an update. I think overall it should be better for all, if you want to keep 1T you can use 2400 or lower DRAM Ratio + increase REFCLK (140-145 with 2400 DRAM Ratio is a sweet spot).

3. We're aware fan control has a lot of issues at the moment, I'll let you know when we have a fix for it.

Let me know if there's anything else serious that I missed, you guys are busy

We haven't seen many USB issues when pushing REFCLK except when going 145MHz+, perhaps you could try different USB ports from CPU or Promontory?
2x16GB DS most likely with future BIOS updates.
The source is credible. The option would have been to not have any boards at launch, don't think that would have made anyone happier.

I did it, finally i got 4Ghz @ 3200Mhz CL14 stable.

Play that track! :cool:
30 minutes of memtest with 16 instances, nay bother. 30 minutes of Real Bench 16GB, nay bother. I made several changes. Firstly i overclocked via P State 0 rather than adjusting base clock frequency. Second i increase CPU SOC voltage a lot to 1.175v, thirdly i bumped DRAM voltage to 1.4. I'm going to tweak those voltages down and find out if either are responsible for me passing the test, I'll start with CPU SOC as i don't like it that high long term.

According to that post above, Crosshair temps are reading incorrectly. I made the change suggested above and my CPU temps have gone up by around 15c+. It also mentions that failing to make this tweak may impact DRAM stability, could this explain why after changing it i can get 3200MHZ CL14 stable @ 4Ghz?

Previously i was overclocking the base clock and the memory. It appears that doing it that way means i can't get my memory stable. However there is an option to overclock the AMD CPU P States, and if you overclock this way, you can get your CPU downclocking and volting at idle, but still overclock to whatever frequency you desire. Check out my HWINFO clock speed stats! :cool: I recommend everyone try this! I'll post some screenshots to share my settings, but it is explained in a few posts on oc.net in this thread. http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/1320

4Ghz @1.4V
VDD SOC manual voltage @1.175v (will test offset again and may change to that)
Load Line @3 for CPU and VDD SOC
DRAM 1.4V (will try 1.35V)
PLL 1.85V (will try 1.80v)
P State 0 Custom Settings (allows idle clocks and full speed clocks in balanced power profile within Windows!)
FID A0 (change this to adjust frequency, works in hexadecimal, A0 = 4Ghz 94=3.7Ghz 99=3.825Ghz)
DID 8 (don't touch this)
VID 3A ( don't touch this setting, if you need more/less voltage, use CPU Offset voltage in the first image)
