Looks solid to me. 1.4 is fine on cpu so don't worry about that.
What bios version are you running and have you settled at 3.85?
I'm @ 3.9Ghz but only 3200Mhz on the ram (same mb+ram+cpu as you) 1.36vCore from memory.
I had no joy with that bios at all, had to change to the unreleased one but has been rock solid on it.
Bios voltage is 1.375 I have just checked and upped the ram to 3333Mhz.
Nice kit, your friend will get a nice setup you've made for him!
right, need some input on voltages for very very long time use -
currently got the 1700 rock stable at 3.9Ghz - 1.4v LLC Level 3 @140% with ram at 3466 CL 18 - mem test, occt, realbench all passed 4 hours each .
Question his how long do you think the CPU will last at the voltage ? Just been told its first rendering will take roughly 2-3 days .... and more then likely the system will be running 24 hours 5 days a week with gaming on the weekends.
If this was just a gaming rig, wouldnt of worried about voltage , but its a raytracing/ 3D Max rending rig 90% of the time ....
Seen max people run when gaming is 1.45v which i wouldnt of pushed to but thinking 1.4 is a bit to much- although it does have an over the top AIO haha
@AMDMatt @8 Pack or anyone else that truely puts their rig on for 24 hours a day using ryzen, what do you think should be max vcore voltage ? can always overclock to that said voltage
core needs to last at least 4 years min, also why went with the Crosshair over B350 chipset
Just run it at that. It's fine.
Up to 1.55v can be used if you have exotic water cooling and can keep temperatures low. Otherwise up to 1.45v is a reasonable value with decent AIO cooling.
There really is no such thing as a safe max voltage though. Stock voltages are the only voltages anyone can deem max safe.
Playing with voltages beyond that locks the CPU into a constant fixed voltage that raises the average V being dumped into the chip over time. Like any other ASIC, you're just gambling at that point.
Look at all da preddy colours...>snip<

Your friend should be chuffed.
Ordering these for my build too How do they connect together for a single Aura RGB header on the motherboard? Can you daisy chain them and then connect one end to the motherboard header like LED strips? Are these the Plastic ones or the Lux version that is aluminium?
Plastic, would have got the aluminium version for my own if they were left uncoated .
I'm sure paint quality and feel is better but double the cost.
They do Daisey chain. Each unit has roughly 20cm length with a male and female split .
They do add a bit of cable management , and you do need Phanteks header to motherboard cable and ones provided by Asus aren't they bet with them and come off easily .
Phanteks need to roll out 240/360 versions of these units with just one cables to make it neater .
But they do look cool
Cheers!
This cable right?
