0902 bios for the Asus X370 Prime is probably the most mature one so far, not that many issues with it apart from missing advanced AMD CBS options, the bios as a whole is incredibly bare bones, but at least it's working well.
I can't really get 3333Mhz or higher with it though, but that might just be my IMC.

I've been thinking of dumping this board in a second system and getting a Taichi.

I can't get 3333Mhz on my Prime either - the RAM fails testing when it's set to that.
 
@Atari So I guess it might also be the board, 3200 works with reasonable timings but very aggressive ones are a no go.

@chroniclard thanks, I saw that one a while ago but I'm just waiting for ASUS to release an official bios with it included that doesn't brick the board :D
I only needed to change BGS, never really bothered with P-State OC.
 
Do we reckon there's any mileage in the rumor of a refresh in early 2018? Renovating a house at the moment so no time to do a new build yet, and 8700k is underwhelming so I'm going to just buy into RyZen.

Already have the CH6 but I'm going to put a 1600 in for the kids and buy a Taichi and 1700X for me and a Vega 64. Figure we should have aftermarket cards by then and if there's a refresh just after Xmas planned seems pointless buying a RyZen system for me right now as I will hardly touch it til the house is finished.
 
Seems likely, remains to be seen what kind of improvements the refresh will bring though. Supposedly they'd be releasing X470 and B450 chipsets around that time too, but it might just be an unfounded rumor.
Also how is the 8700K underwhelming? Seems like the biggest jump from Intel in years, but your choice in the end.
Vega64 too instead of 1080 Ti? If AMD is your favorite company, go for it I guess, but current Vega64 pricing and performance doesn't really make it a good buy.

Yeah it would seem that way, the faster 3200MHz timings don't work for me either. Best I can get that's stable is 14-14-14-28 which probably isn't a huge increase in performance.
 
Does anyone on here have a Noctua D15 with their Ryzen? What kind of temps are you able to get at around the 1.3v to 1.4v mark?
When I tried 3.8Ghz with 1.3v it got to 78C with my poor Mugen 4 with 2x Corsair SP120 fans on it (they go up to 2250rpm!), it's time to retire him.

Interested in the response too.

I'm using the NH-D15 AM4-SE on my 1700x @3.825Ghz. The CPU requires ~1.36v with LLC High on my board which results in a VDDCR of around 1.36 - 1.407 and SVI2 TFN of 1.32 (under extreme load) to 1.36. Temps are around 55-60C when gaming and 71C for extreme torture testing, i.e. Burn Test, Prime, Realbench. The system is housed in an Evolv ATX which doesn't have the best of airflow. Temps were almost identical when using a H100i V2 on the same chip, but I moved back to air after having to RMA 3xH100i's in under 18 months and have been really impressed with the D15. If you do get one be aware it's an absolute beast in size, but it is simple to mount.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm using P-states and idle temps range from 27-31C depending on ambient, and at that speed have the Noctua fans turning at 500rpm.

Let me see... ?

Yet another Intel chip that is crying out for delidding, a dead end motherboard platform, many people fooled by reviews with MCE enabled giving better results than actual reality for stock, paper launch.

Those are reasons alone to go with AMD for me.

And I have a Freesync screen, you can pick up a ref Vega 64 for under £500 if you shop around, cheapest 1080ti I have seen is still over £650, so no, they are not similarly priced either.

Seems the minute you mention AMD on these forums a ton of people want to ram Nvidia and Intel down your throat instead.

You get more bang for your buck with AMD and playing at 1440p 144hz the CPU isn't going to be holding me back to much, and Vega 64 is going to pretty much max my monitor, plus I don't mind turning down settings, why should I pay more for Intel and Nvidia for the exact same thing the AND rig can do? Maybe because it's what everyone else does I suppose?
 
@zola25 Sounds good! Thanks, going for the D15-AM4.

@SiDeards73 £550 is the lowest I'm seeing Vega 64 with shopping around a lot right now, £100 extra gets you a 1080 Ti which is significantly faster, but then again you do have Freesync so you're limited to AMD cards.
If you're dead set on AMD, then go for it, it might not be the best performance (Ryzen) or bang for the buck (Vega), but they'll do the job.

Less than £495 available from one of the most common online retailers currently with stock available now...

As I said at the Res I play Vega and 1080ti both will deliver the exact same experience, Freesync helps this so why pay £150 more and lose Freesync? Likewise the AMD chip will do exactly the same job as the Intel chips. Why pay more
 
Nice result from the noctua that.

I am on 360 AIO, 1700 at 3.925, 1.335v under extreme load (OCCT linpack) and approx 65-67c with fans silent and 60-62 with them flat out (still quiet).

In rise of the tomb raider with fans on idle (literally 800rpm, silent) CPU under load is reported 47c max after an hour of playing.

You really don’t need high end cooling for ryzen. My 360 does look cool though :D
 
I worry RAM clearance is going to be an issue since I'm using 45mm tall kits, but I reckon I could just mount the front fan at the back.

Are those the temps with the 20c degree offset? or including?. I have the D14 on a 1600x @ 3.9Ghz - 1.37v and get about 73c with the offset

I got excited then, I found the one you meant and it's £495, but it comes from the USA site so when you go to checkout it's £595. :( Cheaper in the UK at £584.99, shame really as I've been waiting for a good value Vega was hoping that 56's would be come available soon, but mining is back on the agenda now due to the massive uptick in currency prices.

If your case is deep enough you can just offset the fans a bit to clear with some bodgery of the clips. Just make sure you clear the metal
