Id sent them back and look for samsung B ones...
Thats why i sent 3 other kits back cause ware supposed to be Samsungs and turned out Hynix so **** that
I'm tempted, but it looks like AGESA 1.0.0.6 is rolling out for the Asus users and it might fix the ram problems.

some guys finally gotten rated speed some did not from what i see.
Any reason for the stock HSF and not a 3rd party cooler?
Though never heard of a cryorig.

Seems that Zen+ tape out is due for the end of this year - source Lisa Su, AMD CEO.
So we might have Zen+ by June/July 2018.

Sweet that's what I am waiting for. Ryzen although performing very well is not a big enough leap for what I currently need over my i5, providing it's a reasonable performance increase I will be getting one.
For now I will continue to observe and practice some patience.

Hoping for a frequency bump if nothing more.
Likely the 2 main things they'll be targeting are clockspeed and Infinity fabric bandwidth/latency (either through design tweaks or simply much better RAM support).
Even just achieving 4.5 GHz + 3866 MHz RAM support would be a significant improvement over 3.9 GHz and 2933 MHz RAM (which seems to be the average atm). And that's assuming no improvements in any other area.

Well Zen+ is on 7nm, so if AMD don't do a frequency boost then, well it would be weird.
Kinda weird they put an M.2 slot on it lol.that's a server board.

I do believe the Zen refresh will still be 14nm but obviously a refined process. By all accounts the yield is particularly good at the moment. "Zen 2" is destine for 7nm

Not really - probably ideal for the same sort of thing why some server boards have onboard sdcard slots or internal usb ports for flash drives.
TBH I would have preferred the SD card or USB option, better price per GB and nowhere near the heat soak.
The board isn't exactly aimed at ITX cases so there will be room for drives.

My bad then, but tape out for 7nm was confirmed as the end of this year by Lisa Su yesterday, so refinement for Zen 2 must be a 12 month exercise, where does that put Zen+ then?
