Asus may have always been the best for Intel boards but IMO Gigabyte have always had the edge on AMD.

On a more serious note though after my experience with Asus CH6 and my backup prime plus board I think erring on the side of caution with Asus is a good idea.
I agree, I'm finding the Asus board a right mare and if I had lots of money I would take great pleasure taking it outside and giving it some good ol' 12guage treatment, 56g 3" buckshot should do the trick...
I do need to make sure that my Cosair memory isn't borked though, it's been running fine in my intel system for over a year at 2600mhz so no idea why it can't even do 2400 with lax timings in this board...
I really want the MSI Mortar but seems we will have to wait even longer for it
So you think its ok to oc one cpu in a bench but not the other? Do you have any facts to back up they don't? The people I know who build their own pc's and game, none of them are sitting on stock cpu's.

1700@4000Mhz getting spanked of a 6700@4000Mhz, under 60 FPS in some areas on ryzen this with a 1070, i would not be pairing it up with a 1080ti.

Same poster also does a Crysis 3 vid where it matches the 6700K, I would guess it's more a fallout issue (or down to drivers) than a CPU issue.

Generally speaking sticking to under 2x the stock TDP is a good rule of thumb. At 1.55v in certain tasks, you'll be over.
Soldato
Yeah sorry but I don't agree at all with this. Out of the 20 or so people I game with online I know that 2 of them manually overclock their PC's the rest leave them stock. They just want to buy what works for gaming and play.
It isn't flawed, people keep telling you to ignore the OC of the 1800X and just compare stock to stock and the 1800X still has excellent results.

Yes, same - with the B350 Prime Plus

And? Again all this proves is some software isn't well optimised yet. It's clear to see that the 1700 is barely breaking a sweat.
Fallout 4 one of the oldest engines around, based on the Fallout 3 engine which in turn was based on the Oblivion engine which was released 11 years ago.
Of course it's flawed, he could have oc the 7700K and put the results up and if people wanted to take just stock they could have, instead he choose not to.
Soldato
But that doesn't make it flawed, it makes it incomplete! There is a big difference. The stock to stock still shows the results that the Ryzen R7 series isn't getting creamed by the i7 series chips. That is the point.
It still shows factual results of what I know the majority of my friends would be gaming at because they buy parts and build them and leave stock or get me to build them of which I offer to OC their equipment if they want and 9/10 say no because they are happy to just let it run cool and quite and get the performance out the box and will upgrade as needed when something new drops.
There is no reason to call the shown numbers flawed because you want to see i7 7700K at 5.0GHz.

Here we go, it will get better with software said that about faildozer, here and now is what counts.

Bethesda have partnered with AMD this will improve.

11 year old engine, not exactly here and now is it.

Yes I understand that, hence why I said the results would likely be biased.
What would making a poll on this forum, which is specifically about overclocking, achieve exactly? The result you're looking for I guess.
OverClockers is not some sort of supreme authority on all things PC gaming, it would not be the ultimate indication of how everyone uses their machines.
Soldato
For gaming, i will be sticking to intel for now.
But in a few years time when games are properly using the extra threads, who knows...

Its all AMD's fault....
It seems that even centuries into the future things never change.
AMD give us cutting edge tech like Walter
While the competition give us the B-9 Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot
Sent a webnote to OcUK to change to shipping to Saturday delivery, the Asrock Taichi are hopefully coming in today. Otherwise will have to change it back to regular delivery and back to my office address.
I have become overwhelmingly impatient for this pre-order

Besides, I'm waiting for someone to post 'just ordered XYZ board' so I know to go look and may miss it for all the bickering
Ask and ye shall receive. I just finished a web chat with a sales agent at another retailer and he said they should be getting their K7 stock in today but only 2 will be free for pre-orders. I just got one of those.
Now to pray this really isn't cake time.
