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.

so the Vengeance LPX stuff definitely works on the crosshair? If thats the case, i'll just order myself a 16GB kit and send the GeIL stuff back

My last two boards have been Gigabyte (990FX & Z97). Both have been excellent, particularly the 990FX UD5 which allowed for a hefty overclock of my 8320. Gigabyte were my first point of call for Ryzen, but then people were talking about higher quality VRMs on the Hero and Taichi, so I started looking at Asus and Asrock. I might take another look at the Gigabyte boards now.

Personally if availability was not an issue, in their current state with bios issues and so on, I'd be looking at getting either a Gigabyte Gaming 5 or a Gigabyte Gaming K7 board, in most of the reviews I've seen which have featured these boards there have been pretty much no issues, they have just worked.

I game my FX8350 at 3440x1440 and also use it for VR on a Rift :D

Same here, and whats strange is that I've found over the past 3-4 years of owning my FX 8350 which is clocked 24/7 at 4.5Ghz with only 1.3 volts, the performance year on year with newer games and daily tasks does seem to get better, hopefully a good sign for the already much superior Ryzen chip in years to come when compared to the Intel equivalents.
 
My new Ryzen build, 1800+ at stock with Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3.
Waiting on the bracket so I can fit my NZXT Kraken :)

I agree with him. the problem is AMD have an issue convincing developers to optimise for them rather than the two bigger juggernauts Intel and Nvidia.

That's the hard part.

Saying that, I want a 1700X!! I think that that it's worth spending the extra on the 1800X purely for a gaming PC.
 
I am on the verge of purchasing a Ryzen setup, the 1700 is the CPU I am going to go for. There still seems to be lots of issues with motherboards. I liked the look of the MSI X370 one but haven't seen it mentioned much on this thread.

Is it a case of buy now and live with the bugs or wait until all these issues are ironed out?
 
Right, so after installing all the Windows updates and drivers, my computer "seems" stable now.... I just played 2 hours of Rocket League and didnt get 1 BSOD, so I dunno, maybe the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT thing was driver related?
