AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[humbug]

Got mine Saturday for £280 used up my promotional credit, noticed price gone up on these now

Need a board though. Been looking at a few. Wonder if the chipset fan being a bit further down makes any difference to temperature on the Aorus Elite? The Asus pacman board looks decent as well.. dunno, ram i ordered shouldn't be an issue for either board, G.Skill said need to wait for BIOS update for the Gigabyte board to support the 3600mhz neo kit.

I think maybe just get the Asus.

Talking of chipset fans...when I power up my X570 Gaming Edge WIFI, sans CPU, the fan kicks in 100%. Wasn't expecting that TBH. Makes a bunch of whooshing air noise whilst outside of case. Seemed louder than all of my case fans running at 100% and the cooler fans at 100%.

Under drivers and tools not bios and firmware.

Try to set a fan curve for it or change the preset in the BIOS (if you have the option). My Asrock board had it on 100% by default but I set it to Silent.

At lest I change settings in bios and it changes settings and boots up. People constantly say but its asus tax ye tax for stuff to actually work Maybe we only had 3 bioses for C7H so far but at lest One is working great

I previously had a Strix Z270E and it worked really well, the BIOS was easy to use and it just worked. First time using Asrock and so far so good.

I must have just been unlucky with Asus stuff in the past. Only ever had issues with them and the resulting customer support was always terrible which is why I tend to avoid if I can.

Maybe, fan right under the GPU on that board though if it makes a difference?

What are the VRMs etc like on the X470 Taichi ultimate? Would it be suitable for 12cores+

I think it was 12 phases, and each phase 40A each. It should be enough for 12 cores since a lot of people are running 3900X on boards with weaker VRM design.

Good and yes, easily.
However, I don't believe it had BIOS flashback.

Can't get to BIOS lol.

My board is over 2 years old and was £80 new, just say'in

Yeah, mine was about £100, and it's still going strong 7 years later..

This new Ryzen stuff is a bit too bleeding-edge for my liking at present. Still, it does make for entertaining posts.

MSI.
Still 50/50 as to whether it is a dead CPU or a dead CPU socket on the motherboard.
I've not found one other instance on the tinternet of a CPU in socket that trips the motherboard.

Guess my personal list is correct

Why do OcUK always push the Taichi mobo's? Are they really that good?

Ok, I'm sure that would be more than enough for me in reality.

Hmm ok, that's maybe something to consider.

3333Mhz 16-17-17-35 have not found the limit yet

A little bump on the FSB to 102 or 103 wont hurt
