No. Is just motherboards that are rushed. Also don't forget the Ryzen is SOC, so the functionality of the X370/B350 etc is different that the X99.
Is more simplified with the good meaning, because the actual workings of the chipset are in the CPU.
The issues are with the boards which is getting resolved. See the Gigabyte K5 or the Tomahawk. Great boards.
Because I dont want to have to send it all back if I don't have to. If it's faulty memory, I'll send that back, but I wont know until I try different memory. I'm fairly certain it's just a bios compatibility issue.Why are you even putting up with thatJust send it back

Optimisation, I still run an 8350 for 1440p gaming and its fine
I was still under the impression my 3570k would roll over the 8350. I guess not.
It really is funny, if someone asked if they should upgrade their 2500k the answers would be no its fine or just overclock it, yet if someone with an 8350 asks it would be completely different.
I guess we are all used to AMD being tosh.
Remember oc above Imc rated speed is not ever guaranteed. Also xmp is an intel thing not qualified at all on amd platforms.
It's actually amd as well as board partners who need to fix these mem issues with correct memory tables. Optimization of core performance in multi thread was amd's goal. Sadly had they tested they would have seen 3000 or so mems is as good as 200Mhz on core so should have also paid attention to this.

AMD is very much like a good whiskey, gets better with age 
Thinking I must be one of the few that's having very few issues with the Crosshair VI. Only really had the occasional stuck on boot but a restart sorts it. Running Corsair 3000MHz Vengeance LPX at 2933MHz no problem. Just chose the closest to 3000MHz in the drop down menu.

In a few months, when there are some more Mini ITX boards, and if 4C 8T gaming performance is on par/close to Intel 7600K, it'll likely be the next upgrade for me. I'm looking to go ITX anyway, and with pretty low temps on the 8C 16T R7 series, I'm excited to see what can be done.
83xx clocked to 4.5Ghz+ is a decent chip, particularly for handbrake and suchlike.
Someone on Reddit posted a link to an article where they tested ten R7 1700's to see how well they would overclock, or how they are binned.

just flicking through the installation instructions that came with my 1700, and noticed it says the following..
"use ONLY the heatsink/fan provided. Use of any other heatsink/fan will void the warranty."
is that normal? seems a little strange to me..

Pretty sure that's standard rhetoric on most cpu's.
