*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

I'm scaring myself reading about motherboard issues ha.
I bought an Asus Prime X370.
Thinking I should have stumped up more.

Think the Asus Prime X370's is the most budget board I've had in years. My last AMD was a Crossair IV.

Currently on a Hero V Haswell, before that a Maximus IV Extreme.

Crosshair VI Hero is the best board available at the moment, so if you have the extra cash i would recommend it.

Looking good, will give the official 130 Bios a bash, running Beta 131 atm.

Well back to 131, cannot get it to OC and RAM will not run @ 3200. To lazy to sort as painting my new house lol, just taking a break for a bit.

Have you found yourself having to up the dram boot voltage and SoC voltage to sort the cold boot problems? Mine was fine at defaults until yesterday.

Thing is dude, there are bios issues on nearly all AM4 mobos so its not just this board.

It's the platform it's self and Ryzen as a chip. That's why fixes have to come from AMD (AGESA updates) and then from the manufactures for mobo specific quirks.

It's only been 6 weeks since launch.

I've bought into 3 launches, Thuban, Sandy and Haswell and never had any problems apart from a Gigabyte Z87 board (Which was rectified when getting my Hero VI that week) so having issues 6 weeks in is a bit meh.
Even the B3 Sandy thing was harmless for me, just ordered a new board and got the previous one refunded.

Of course however I might have no problems.

Pretty sure we have the same RAM, I have mine running at 2666mhz timings are 14-15-15-15-30 voltage has been bumped slightly from 1.35v to 1.375v seems to be working fine :) I can get it to run at 2993mhz but the timings have to be loosened off a fair bit, I think I had it at 18-18-18-18-36?

Also with the boot screen, they just show a splash by default, I think there is an option somewhere to show a more old school boot screen, can't remember what its called though.

I've altered the settings and now have 2666 though i never altered the voltage at all

As for the old school boot i switched that off and it didn't seem to come up still just the F11 and enter bios etc .

Thanks

I've got the same motherboard, in the Boot menu in the BIOS there is an option 'Show Boot Logo' or something very similar, if you disable that it will give you the old school boot screen and show the boot codes as its loading up.

Yeah i switched that of full screen logo and still no joy , not a disaster i was just puzzled why it wasn't showing to be fair.

Thanks.

There was a lot of issues with z87 in the 1st few months DPC issues memory issues High voltage cpu issues
all got better with bios updates ...
Same with the X99 platform
in fact all new sockets / chipsets have there teething problems ...

but Ryzen being a whole new chipset and cpu architecture ...so far its done very well and improving
 
I seem to be having an issue with my mouse atm everytime i boot up windows i'm having to unplug and plug the mouse back into usb for it to work ?

On a Taichi board

Any ideas please?

Thanks.
