im currently on a mortar (non max) which from what i hear is actually a good board. it does annoy me that i dont have the full fat bios.

Southbridge seems a bit toasty at 55-62c, anyone else seeing this? I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.. mainboard is a more reasonable 38-42c

Normal for this board, cooling is subpar for the chipset.

The fan is placed where the gpu blasts hot air

Anyone else finding boost clocks severely limited on the 3900X and this board.

With PBO off the TDC limit kicks in and stops me going over 4ghz all core in Cinebench. Dialling in a manual overclock lets me go above the TDC limit.

Is there anyway to disable the TDC limit but keep the stock boost?

It doesn't. The fan is where the GPUs push hot air. Also is so close with the armour plating, that pushes the fan making it grind during boot after a month or so.

Think you have a problem with yours then. Had mine since release and its silent.

He's not alone, I was having issues too, I changed my GPU cooler and upped my fan speeds and temps were manageable.

Not noticed a issue with the 2.5 bios am running, hits 4.570 on 6 and on occasion 2 will hit 4.650 for a millisecond

My cards water cooled so maybe way mines fine .

Those transient boosts are pretty meaningless to be honest. It's the all core load boosts I'm trying to tweak. Looks like full manual is the only way around it.

It's the heat dumping from the GPU that is the issue, watercooling solves it completely, as does a blower card.

ah , I see. Makes sense .

2.73 beta bios is out

Panos · 22 Dec 2019 at 09:41

~~Update. Installed 2.73 haven't seen much difference tbh.~~

Holly mother!!!! There is a difference

DRAM Calculator gave me different 3800C16 setup with the 2.73 and latency dropped to 63ns!!!

I have had this board since launch day and anything other than leaving the RAM at stock setting it just crashes.

TEAM GROUP EDITION 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHZ

Even just enabling XMP it crashes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the RAM, it was running overclocked previously.

Have you tried the DRAM calculator settings?

Danthus · 29 Dec 2019 at 12:44

I haven't to be honest but, this would be the first time in 25 years of building a PC that the ram didn't run at its stock speed. :-)

XMP isn't the stock speed. Is the overclocked speed the manufacturer believe that ram can do.
Which bios to do use? Have you left SOC, VDDP, VDDG to Auto?

Plus its Intel orientated.

Got the RAM in the right slots? I think you gotta use slots A2 & B2 when using dual channel.

May I ask why you bother trying to make CB work faster? Do you use the type of all core load that you need to go over the all core boost of 4050-4100? (cooler depending).
If so, use manual OC to 4400 and leave voltage to auto.

Otherwise if you only use light loads (like gaming), activate XFR, Cstates, Prefered Cores, disable PBO and raise the bus to 100.1 with end target 100.4 when all is stable.
Even the worst games that hammer 2-3 cores of the CPU at 100% load, would be operating at 4500-4600Mhz constantly.
