Asus Prime X370-Pro Owner's thread

Well, yes, the X models are so fast they don't have to be overclocked, it is kind of useless? For a 1600 I believe you have go up to 4Ghz or higher to defeat a 1600X (stock) in CPU benchmarks, at least if this benchmark calculates single, dual och multicore performance together? For hardcore overclocking I have read that the X models may be better though because of higher quality chip but not sure if it is true, if overclocking really high.

Question: If leaving my 1600X cpu settings stock but only wanting to mess with memory settings, will this disable the XFR feature? (Having the Prime X370 board).

Not sure if enabling DOCP will disable XFR immediately?

I notice the fans etc making more noise immediately when enabling DOCP whatever settings I try.

Enabling DOCP on Prime X370 does not disable XFR
When I have my 1800X running stock but with RAM on DOCP, I still have all clocks running at least 100MHz above nominal rate (3.7GHz instead of 3.6) and spiking 500MHz above (4.1GHz) :)
(individual cores can run to 41x multiplier, but if all cores are loaded it runs at 37x)

Great :)

Question: You raised cpu clock speed to 3,7Ghz (from 3,6) but XFR is still enabled with individual cores still spiking 4,1Ghz?

Where is the overclock limit when XFR gets disabled?

Enabling docp I now run cpu stock but memory 2933MHz with everything stable so far.

I have Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 Vengeance. I read somewhere that 2933 is a good max limit for running these memory modules stable on the prime x370 board and it seems to work fine.
 
Sorry to butt in on your conversation. I've just spent the day building my pc with the prime pro board I'm just unable to figure out how to boot of my usb drive,

I think my USB is formatted as it has been renamed to CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 with the following files on it. autorun.inf, boot, boot mgr, bootmgr.efi, efi, setup.exe, sources, support.

What's the process to get windows to run?

Thank you very much.

PS I had no problem flashing the latest BIOS as it's clearly labeled in the BIOS, though I can't for some reason get the computer to load up the Windows file

Hmmm, a second follow up on your post. :)

Looks like my cpu automatically is running base clock speed 3,7GHz also after i changed to docp and my memory settings to 2933MHz, not totally sure though?

Download trial version av Aida64 (Extreme edition) and tried running the very tough "Stress fpu" test. This picture show after running about 3 minutes and with values stabilized.

Note: I only have the be quiet! Pure Rock Slim cpu cooler and I am thinking about upgrading, I want slightly better cooling, also I am not sure if installation was 100% only using the cooling paste which was already applied (included). Not sure if I should be worried about my values below, the Stress fpu is a very tough one after all?

Uploaded a live picture showing my values.

Ryzen 5 1600X. Running the AMD Balanced energy mode during tests, not sure if this affects the results.

Did you run the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool when preparing the usb?
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2376-create-bootable-usb-flash-drive-install-windows-10-a.html

Also verify boot order in bios settings (making sure it tries to read the usb drive).
 
Hmmm, actually running in some strange behavior after changing my Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 Vengeance to 2933MHz. Worked fine when running Windows, no crash, passed some different tests, but got sporadic multiple beeps when rebooting and at this morning also error beeps when starting computer with the bios automatically recovering to the old memory setting.

I saw a kernel power error message in event log which probably are related?

Was reading the forum in overclock.net with somebody recommending:

"Bump CPU Current Capability in the BIOS to 120-130%.

Try LLC2 or LLC3 for CPU.

Change to Optimized or Extreme for the VRM phase control"

I will now try running them in 2800Mhz instead, works fine so far.

Personally I don't want to get stuck in endless overclock scenarios, I just want to run my memorty faster (which obviously wasn't that easy).

Maybe it is the Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 Vengeance LPX memories causing all these issues, should be avoided for this board or Ryzen setups in general?

Question: There are many benchmark and computer inspection software out there. Is there a risk that running these may cause compute rstability issues themselves?

So far I have mostly been running Ryzen Master, Hwinfo64, Aida64.

Do yourself a favour and get either 8 packs 3200MHz memory or some Flare X 3200MHz if wanting low profile.

Trust me its worth it and will continue to be

I was afraid I would get this recommendation... ;-) Looks like issues with Corsair LPX are common, I guess there is a reason for them being cheaper.

Well, if the shop take them back and let me change them fine, otherwise I am not sure, then I may get back to stock settings.

I see a couple of Flare X options in my Swedish shop:

This one?

Ok guys, about my problems overclocking my Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 Vengeance LPX to 2933Mhz.

Everything was running fine in Windows and multiple tests but then I experienced two beeps when rebooting which made me suspicious. This morning after a cold boot the bios automatically did a reset to stock 2133 memory settings (including error beeps).

Read about some other expriencing exactly the same coold boot issue and the rumour is it fails because of loack of boot power voltage for the ram? It is trying to run the ram using default voltage settings before the UEFI is loaded?

Ok, I am not fluent in english but I hope you understood.

Anyone has more information about this, is it true or false?
 
DO NOT INSTALL NEW BIOS 0812 - it removes most of AMD CBS Options including BGS, BGSA, CLDO_VDDP. Nothing of note has been added - stay on 0810.

Very "interesting", disabling features like this on a enthusiast motherboard.

Perhaps Asus simply are having too many RMAs after owners playing with these options?

Also noticed the update dissappearing some hours from Asus.com support and then being available again.
