Good thing about the Gaming 5 White Rear , If you have a Printer & buy CLEAR A4 INKJET SELF ADHESIVE STICKER LABEL FILM ,Can do you own Logo/Icons or Full on Art work all over

Easy Peel off also to change the Art work .

Well i installed the...
GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 Micro ATX Motherboard
& input the same settings /Volts on the CPU ...all good again 3.9ghz stable 1.393volts
same settings as the Gigabyte-GA-AB350-Gaming 3 & Gaming 5 , Just shows it comes down to the CPU ,some will require more or less volts & some will clock higher or low

Love my Phanteks PH-TC14s

Nice one. Seems you've struck it lucky with the chip.
I know it's subjective but that cooler is fugly!! But then I've gone totally off all air coolers. They just look like huge abominations!! Lol

Darren_uk · 25 May 2017 at 15:50

Haha & That is one of the pretty Air Coolers

, Well i can get to 3.9 fine , Not tried 4.0 & don't really want to for sake of 100mhz & big temps ,Would need a CPU Liquid cooler also.

l let you know what it's like at 4.0 when I get set up

Probably just jinxed myself now - I'll get a potato that maxes at 3.8 even under water!!

I'M thinking now on Kraken X62 AIO Water Cooling Unit - 280mm (Inc AM4) seems one of the best for the all in one ?

well for better or for worse the cpu/ram/mobo are ordered

R5 1600
Gigabyte Gaming 5 Motherboard
2x8GB Corsair LPX Ram (knowing my luck it wont be Samsung B die, I believe it's a toss of the coin with this ram)

Hope it is Rank 1 / B-Die

If it says ver4.31 on the stickers...then its B-die

nice, hopefully arriving today so will check when they arrive

Thekwango · 5 Jun 2017 at 20:10

v5.39 - google seems to suggest Hynix but a link I found says 'amd found positive results using v5.39' so take from that what you will. be later in the week before I start to build it so we'll see

Darren_uk · 5 Jun 2017 at 21:41

I seem to have the worse ICs ..Micron ...But with the beta bios it runs them at 2933mhz

Version 5.31 / 5.39 SK hynix
Version 4.31 Samsung
Version 3.21 Micron

I'll be perfectly happy to start off with 2933 to be honest.

Excellent. Shame my parts are all sat in their boxes while I redecorate!! Never get married!!

Only got time there now to even open the motherboard box and look at it.

Dayum that's a thing of beauty. My earlier concerns about the white shroud were totally unfounded. Actually looks ok in real life. Not as garishly white as the pictures look, plus it appears to be simply held on by 2 screws so removing (and replacing, god forbid,should warranty require) is very straight forward.

lol. Yea was really surprised how much better it looks in the flesh. Still undecided if I'll leave it on or not but as I said, removing it is easy.

Darren_uk · 7 Jun 2017 at 09:12

Yep Good to have the Choice , Goes Nice the Shroud with a Case like the Corsair 400c White Edition
