Asus Prime X370-Pro Owner's thread

Does anyone know the correct FID input for higher than 4GHz on pstate overclocking? I've inputted A0 for 4GHz but can't work out what 4.1 or 4.2GHz would be
 
Got fed up of my Corsair LPX memory which the X370 hates, and replaced it with GSkill FlareX. Runs at 3200MHz 14-14-14-34 on auto-everything. Sometimes throwing money at a problem to make it go away isn't so bad! :)

Is it worth the extra cost? I currently have 16gb LPX running at 2933, and I cannot get it any higher, so would going to the G Skill at 3200 make a decent difference for me?

Probably not worth the money in the scheme of things, but it's nice to cure the geek anxiety of a system not running optimally...

I went from 2800MHz Corsair LPX to 3200MHz Flare X and don't regret it tbh.

Around £70 extra I paid which isn't value for money though
 
How much would you have to overclock a 1600 to get higher scores than a 1600X cpu (not overclocked)?

Breaking point etc?

Also I would like to know results and breaking points for both single, dual and multi core performance.

The reason why I am asking this is that I suspect that the 1600X with XFR is more efficient and powerful than I initially thought.

XFR seem to do wonders to dynamic single and dual core performance? Also for the overall total score of pcu benchmarks? (depending on which one)

I am starting to doubt people saying 1600 is more value than 1600X. Maybe that's true if you overclock a 1600 really high, 4Ghz or even higher but otherwise, no? Considering you will achieve similar speeds with a stock 1600X which also will run more stable and quiet when not overclocked?

Single and dual core performance using high clock frequencies still matters?

From Tom's Hardware:
"Due to its identical clock rates, AMD's Ryzen 5 1600X demonstrates similar performance as the Ryzen 7 1800X in lightly-threaded content creation and productivity tests. The 1600X also outpaces the Ryzen 7 1700 in a great many scenarios where its higher frequency weighs heavier than its core count deficit. This makes the 1700 a tougher sell."

What do you guys say?

Using the new Ryzen build as I type this using the 8Pack memory with the Prime X370 Pro board. Went into BIOS and ran DOCP and set 3200Mhz. Done.
 
I was under the impression XFR is disabled when overclocking?

Link for that RAM squire? I want to get ram that does 3200 wihtout any faffing about
