AM4 B350/X370 black screen crash thread

Crashed again :/
Just ordered Crosshair VI Hero x370, Last one in the country from what I can find.
If this doesn't work then its the cpu. Surely they cannot deny me an RMA if its still crap!

Well, with 3.95ghz at about 1.39, and ram at 2666mhz, got through ten loops of rb. Can cinebench without issue.

But am sure as soon as I try the stress test it'll black out on me.

Beginning to think I should just write off that as a test. But would it mean I run into issues later?

Wish Asus were more on the ball with bios releases - been two weeks since they released one for these boards.

The problem i had with that is why can amd matt do it on his x370? It might be a case of bios updates but i cannot afford to wait that long.
 
Fresh win10,no random crash until now,i hope to stay that way.Until asus release new bios my r7 1700 will be stock,to be sure that no OC or voltage cause instability.
Realbench ,aida64 and some games ,all are stable with 2133mhz ram.

What are your system details?

And how did you run realbench? Bench run or stress test?
 
Currently back on 'stock'.

Just checking correlation between voltage and power relative to soc.

Seems the more I up things in those settings, the longer I can run.

Default voltage appears to be 0.085v or so.

At that, fell over quickly.

Offset to +0.15 lasted longer.

Offset to+0.2v with some adjustment to Llc, power phase control, seems to be going longer again.

Be interesting to know what people who aren't failing have for these settings.

My system is r7 1700,asus prime b350plus,hyperx 2133mhz 2x8gb,psu 450W superflower gold,sapphire 290 dual-x ,ssd kingston 240gb+seagate 500gb.Right now i undervolt this cpu from vid stoc 1.187V at offset -0.16V and no crash in 15 min realbench,20-30min. in aida stress.
Prime95 i dont think its good for ryzen and i dont want hours and hours to stress,if i have a crash i up a little volts and use pc normal.Today i want to see if in gta v is stable,i think this game stress average cpu.

LE:For r7 1700 and stock cooler this thread explain verry good what vcore to use,i know that not all cpu are the same,but are really close:

Thanks for the details.

15 min of realbench, especially on lower levels doesn't seem to mean an awful lot. can pass that most of the time. can occasionally pass thirty minutes.

Hell, despite my two 30 min runs earlier, several attempts since have failed in a few minutes.
 
I just think it's strange that you've completed two 30min runs earlier but now it's failing, it's like now things have had time to warm up it's become unstable.

It's completely random. I can do 30 mins no bother then have it fall over on the next attempt. Sometimes it wont even do 5 minutes.
I can only assume it's the chipset/bios problems. I will update you when my crosshair comes.

I have a few minutes to decide if I try and get 1700x delivered tonight...

How doe syours do if you just run the bench side of RB though? I seem to be fine for that...
 
Getting another processor is the only real way you can rule out faulty processor but I was hesitant to recommend that in case I was wrong. It's easy to spend other peoples money.
 
I didn't order it. I'm a little tired of forking out.

I may still. Obviously won't be today.

I'm just running a bunch of tests that aren't rb stress.
 
Just done a loop of 10 benchmarks tests on rb all passed.
Now to stress test it.

Done half an hour aida, 40 mins of rb bench, no black screen.

Just running prime95 for a while. Maybe half an hour /hour.

Really is seeming like specific to the stress test.

But if so, what would that mean?
