Hello,

Can anyone who has this board please post your experiences/issues?

I've heard after overclocking the CPU it doesn't reduce the frequency so it just sticks to the overclocked set speed. On my FX-8350 the frequency goes down when CPU is idle.
 
Thanks eyetrip. That's some really helpful info, I hope these issues are fixed in the next bios update. I really wanted a Taichi or the Gigabyte x370 K7 but there hasn't been any stock come in yet so I went with the Prime.

I thought you could reset the bios by keeping hold of the power button when the computer is off, but maybe that's a feature on some boards only.

Never heard of that. Usually that's simply to drain any caps on the board after removing the power.

I for one am happy to have a CMOS Clear and reset switches on the C6H with the unstable BIOS to date, from an OC perspective.

It all needs time for sure.

The Prime should benefit from the reasonably rapid progress on C6H too. To me it seems they're scrabbling to find stability and are no doubt working with AMD. The memory speed stuff is annoying, can only get 2966 on my 3200 RAM, and was hoping to get 3400+.

Oh right, I'm pretty sure I have been given advice in the past when I had issues that I should keep hold of the power button to clear settings. Must be to drain the caps like you said.

I won't mess around with my bios when I get mine in a few days until a more stable bios has been released. Yeah them switches are handy to have on the back I/O panel so no opening the case every time you mess up an OC.

Hopefully they'll be able to find the cause of the issues and fix and release a good stable bios soon.

BIOS 1001 is pretty good for me.

RE draining caps, it's mainly so you don't get a massive shock (and fry your board), they can store enough energy to make you jump a few feet :)

Good luck.

Oh right so that's what it is, you learn something new.

Thanks, that's good to know. I should be receiving my build by Tuesday, should be good I can't wait to test it out. :)

Bricked mine trying upgrade the BIOS, had it working for like a day... decided to upgrade and no longer boots, two beeps and nothing.
Tried the recovery method of dropping the BIOS onto a USB stick and then the CD/DVD drive.

Going back under RMA, just purchased another one from OCUK for Sunday delivery! Shame they don't have the CH6 otherwise I would have switched it over.

Did you brick it by updating it through windows or the bios?

That's the thing I like about the Gigabyte boards they have double bios so you can switch over to the other one if it messes up.
 
Nicholas Eagle said:
Stupidly through Windows haha, been a while since I did one as I moved from an old sandybride... in fact Gigabyte.
The dual bios is a good idea, can't see why they wouldn't implement something like this, not like it would much more to drop another chip on the board.

Well I've learned my lesson and will never be doing it from Windows ever again lol

Oh right that's really too bad, I hope you have better luck next time. you're right, they can put double bios chips on the boards as Gigabyte has been doing them for ages.

That's good to know for me too, I won't be doing it from Windows either.

Back up and running!
Flashed the BIOS to 504 without issue from USB stick from BIOS.

3.8GHz at v1.25

That's good to see. That's a good voltage for that frequency too.

What VRM temps are you getting for the motherboard? I'm not sure what heading this comes under in HWinfo (if you're using that to monitor temps).
 
Nicholas Eagle said:
All the temps on HWInfo are reading around 35/40c on the motherboard while stress testing, CPU idles around the 30-35 and hits 50~

Mind you this is all sitting in a 750D, with a 110i strapped to the CPU.

What are you getting?
Click to expand...
Thanks. I've not received mine yet, I should be getting it by tomorrow or Tuesday.

I have had high VRM temp issues on my AM3+ board so was curious as to what temps the owner's of the X370 Prime were getting as I've ordered the same board.
 
Nicholas Eagle said:
Cool, you won't be disappointed i don't think.

I was trying to hold out for the Taichi but caved, I couldn't really pick anything else as I was looking for 8+ Sata Ports! :D <- and yes im using them all, no CD/DVD either.
Click to expand...
Thanks, hopefully we've made a good choice and it doesn't give us any major issues.

Lol, same here, first I had the Taichi on pre-order and then pre-ordered the Gigabyte X370 K7 and then I went for the x370 Prime as it was in stock, the others didn't have an ETA for stock availability. That's nice, glad you're happy with it. :)

P.S. this X370 Prime board also has some RGB lights on the back side if I'm not mistaken, I didn't realise this.

Apologies some of you guys are having issues. We are working on a new BIOS, keep an eye out in the meantime. You may have to put the timings in to get the best memory speeds.

If you continue to have issues, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards

Please can you tell me what the max VRM temperature rating on this board is for 24/7 use, and what's the best software to accurately monitor VRM temps?

Thanks
 
I've just flashed the latest 511 bios on my new Prime X370 Pro. How do I change the CPU voltage and frequency/multiplier? I can't find these settings anywhere in the bios. I've come from a Gigabyte board and it was so much simpler on that. All my bios settings are currently on default/Auto and I've not touched anything yet as I don't know what's what.

My CPU voltage is going over 1.5V (maximum value), I'm checking this in HWinfo.

Use the '+' and '-' keys in the BIOS

i.e. set Vcore to manual or offset, and then underneath it will say auto.
Highlight auto then press + or -

Thanks. I've managed to do it. The voltage is still higher than the bios set voltage when checking in HWinfo but that might be something to do with LLC.

I put the multiplier to 37 and I put the VDDCR CPU in manual override mode and entered 1.275v. Now in HWinfo the voltage still goes higher but it's not as bad, it goes to about 1.34V.

Are you looking at the VID under 'Ryzen 1700' or the VDDCR under 'ASUS X370-Pro ...'?
Click to expand...
I'm looking at VDDCR under 'Asus X370-Pro'. The VID under 'Ryzen 1700X' just shows 1.550V under Current/Minimum/Maximum/Average values and doesn't change.

This screenshot is before I set the multiplier and voltage manually but it's still the same.

It's a bit late now. I ordered it already.

It was in offer so I jumped in.

I like it, it will only improve after more bios updates. I've had mine a few days and no problems. It's just the memory that's stuck at 2133(I have 3000) and hopefully that should be sorted with a new bios.
 
I just flashed the latest 0515 Bios. The temps for my 1700X seem to show less now and the CPU fan has calmed down a bit. It hasn't done anything for my memory though, I'm still stuck at 2666. If I try 2999 it doesn't boot and restarts and says the overclock was bad.
 
Nice OC you got there. Yeah it might improve some things, but not improved memory for me, only CPU temp for me.

Not sure but I think they update their websites slowly. When I got the 511 bios I had to get it from the US site as the UK site didn't have it, I think it'll come soon.
