Looking for motherboard for 2700 x

Another thing to consider is that X470 boards come with a free licence to use StoreMI (also called Fuzedrive). I don't want to complicate things even more, but maybe have a read into that and see if it's for you.
 
Yes actually that storeMI does appeal to me because there is no hassle involved with setting that up, unlike raid i think since they make things easy, it also uses ram as hard drive cache i think which is a guess since i have studied programs that turn your computers ram into cache so it runs a lot faster.

Ram cache yea every time you load something it gets quicker and quicker and quicker every time you see.

I was right on the storeMI page it claims this >

You can also use up to 2GB of RAM as a last-level cache for ultra-fast data.

Just curious why you need a 2TB SSD for storage ?
Click to expand...

I just want the extra speed a ssd give's and i have found a ssd from somewhere for under £400 which is a 2tb varient.

And the other reason is, is that i don't fancy raid 0 because i have no clue how to set it up and am lazy so i will have a single hdd on it's own, but i have thought about this, about having two sata ssd that isn't like NVMe and wonder if it would give over 800MB/S because 1 sata port supports speeds of like up to 550mb/s .

Also i think a single NVMe would slow down my pci-e express ports but i don't know really but especially in raid that is from what i have gathered after being told that since a threadripper motherboard would support NVMe to it's fullest in raid 0 configuration that is without bottlenecks to the pci-e used for gpu so it runs at 16x.

I have never owned a ssd thus far and people swear by them when compared to a bog standard 7200rpm drive.

But i could give raid 0 a go seems simple enough just need a usb storage stick just in case.

But why do i need a 2tb ssd for storage... i can't really say but above this sentence is the best i could say really, but does sound like a waste but i only need 2tb at the minimum.

So far with my 3tb hdd seagate 7200rpm i have used is below this sentence so 2tb is fine just have to install less to keep more storage space on the drive in case i need it.

Anyways i have found the ram i want, 2x16gb with an xmp profile so i don't have to manually do an xmp profile for the ram with tight timings exactly same as 8 pack ram, edit, well actually almost like 8 pack ram because this ram has 34 as last timing and 8 pack ram has it as 31.

I seem to think it about it like this, i just select the xmp profile from the ram so it runs in full glory via the motherboard settings hopefully.

This motherboard supports XMP so it should work even though it is an amd motherboard.

long as the ram you grab is samsung B-Die- get what style and price suits you and use ram calculator afterwards. you'll find theres quite a bit to be tweaked over factory settings.

also, Trident come in Ryzen and Intel varieties! CL timings may the same of slightly different but all the sub-timings are different!

need to track on with m Aorus 7 board this week

Cheers anyways i have read about this from > http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3167421/xmp-docp-eocp.html

XMP is an Intel tech introduction to automatically set DRAM to intended data rates over and above a base level (for DDR3 it applies to DRAM 1600 and up), DDR4 for DRAM 2400 and up. You enable the feature it reads the profile off the DRAM sticks and applies it in BIOS.

DOCP (Direct Over Clock Profile), is from Asus for AMD mobos and came as the mobo makers didn't want to pay royalties to Intel to implement XMP on AMD mobos, it effectively uses the DRAM XMP profile to set up data rates and comparative timings on the AMD mobos for a variety of data rates.

EOCP (Extended Over Clock Profiles) is GigaBYtes version of the Asus DOCP..

Within the last couple of years more and more the AMD mobo makers are simply moving to XMP as it's an industry standard and much easier to keep up in the BIOS than other methods with the proliferation of new DRAM, tighter timings, etc
 
Im using G.Skill Trident Z RGB (Intel Edition lol) on my 2700X, 4 sticks of it, only mine is CL16, (Hynix), the product code is F4-3200C16D-16GTZR and I brought 2 kits to give me 32gb RAM, dead cheap for what it is, its running full speed on my Gigabyte Gaming 7 board no issues, I just loaded XMP profile, had to raise my SoC voltage to 1.15v to get it stable, but its fine there, it does affect my overclock a little bit running 4 sticks, but only by 500mhz, I can do 4.2ghz with 2 sticks or 4.15ghz with all 4, I'll live with all 4, one added beauty of it all though, is RyZen can run all of these kits at command rate of 1 instead of 2, im pretty sure if I dropped the speed to 2800mhz or so on the RAM, I could probably get the 500mhz back on the CPU, just cant be bothered with running all the tests again to put my mine at ease, and don't really think there would be any performance increase, as RyZen loves fast ram, faster the better.

On this Gigabyte board, there is 3 options to get your ram upto speed, theres the EOCP as they call it, coming from an MSI motherboard, this is pretty much the same as MSI's memory try it function, theres an option to just simply load XMp profile, or you can just do it using a divider, meaning you would have to manually set the timings.

EDIT: Sorry just had a look in the bios, one is called EZOT (easy overclock tuner) which works on the ram, the other is as stated Extreme memory profile (XMP), and finally manually just using the system memory multiplier.

Thank you for the educated post that you posted because apparently ryzen does not like Hynix ram, i read this before reading your post > https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/31929443 .

As for me i want the best money can buy, but it is more expensive for 32gb of ram so being realistic and have contemplated i think i will get the 8 pack ram (2x8gb) as it is a samsung b die and ryzen loves samsung b die but in your experience that hynix ram runs fine.

Either way.. if i wanted cheaper ram i would buy this > https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...al-channel-kit-grey-tlgd416g30-my-087-tg.html

I paid £185 per kit of my ram, its defo Hynix based, confirmed with Thaiphoon burner, and its always run at full speed, since day one of RyZen release last year, I know there were some problems with Hynix based kits in the beginning, (not that I ever experienced any) but they fixed those issues ages ago with the first AGESA update, at one point I remember after the 2nd or 3rd AGESA update, Hynix chips were running brilliant and people were struggling to get the Samsung based kits upto speed, just another case of fix one thing, break something else.

Theres a video here of my 2nd ever RyZen motherboard, right at the beginning of RyZen release, I had the CPU, had the RAM, everything was sitting on my desk for a month because of a motherboard shortage, managed to finally get my hands on a Gigabyte board that I didn't really like, then grabbed this MSI mortar B350m board which I loved and performed brilliantly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaQgj3PPTu8&t=21s

Then I brought the 2nd kit, taking it upto 32gb RAM, purchased identical stuff, and flashed the SPD using Thaiphoon burner using the original kits SPD information to make sure all 4 sticks matched, probably wasn't required, but just to be sure.
