Sorry, thread is a lot bigger since last I was here! Anyone with the B350 Tomahawk/R5 1600 combination? Just wondering about stability, overclocks, temps etc?

Well I just put together one with a 1700, ran it on the stock cooler np at 3.8ghz ghetto oc settings for a few days until the new cooler turned up today. There's a beta bios out with the new ram timings, mine booted straight in at ddr4 3333 on some gskill 3600c16 ram. stock cooler is very good. 3.8 /3.9 you can run it 24/7 np and its very quiet. you dont really need exotic cooling unless you want to chase them last couple of 100 megahertz. not sure if the stock cooler for the 1600 is the same as the 1700 though?
It seems stable, cinebench score for me on 1700 is 1698 first try, ran ibt with the avx and passed it all. havent had a chance to tune it yet though. played some games, stable, no crashes, I think it has a lot more legs in it!
But there isn't a different version. 2.54 uses AVX.
Unless it needed to be modified for Ryzen or something.

@Smudge Good info, thanks. I was considering an expensive X370 board, with an eye on future-proofing for Zen+. But if B350 allows good stable overclocks, I don't think I'd need anything more exotic.

Finally got all 4 sticks of ram running at the correct speed a few days ago. Prime blend, OCCT, IBT, Memtest and Cinebench are all happy........................so am i

Download it and try it before making assumptions.
This has been out for years, there version numbers are the same but this uses avx.

I didn't ask but thats helped me in my choices, i was looking at the Tomahawk myself but with it being one of the first Ryzen boards i wasn't too sure, for another £20 i was also looking at this freshly release Asus https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-69v-as.html thinking with that being launched after Ryzen it might be more compatible at the hardware level.
But if you're running stable with 3.3Ghz RAM then i'm more than happy to save myself £20 and get the Tomahawk.
Whats the product code of that RAM? please
In fact anyone who is able to run 3Ghz + RAM, what is it?

The 3466MHz Corsair LPX kit's that I had were best, especially in the ASRock K4 Fatal1ty B350, not so much in the Asus Prime Pro. I've not tried the MSI one yet, it's on my short list for the R3 builds however.

I've just ordered some Ripjaws V 3600, hopefully I have more luck with these than I did with my Team Group Dark Pro
Were the teamgroup using b-die?
Soldato
How can you tell if it's samsung B-die and not E-die etc?
Soldato
folks have been using an program called thaiphoon burner
Soldato
Top stuff cheers!
Just downloaded it and thankfully mine is B-die (Team Group Dark Pro) but it was from the batch OcUK had before Ryzen was launched! I believe they are now using Hynix chips now

done good, should have grabbed some myself 
I have 16gb corsair led 3200mhz running fine, It didn't like it at first but after a reboot all good nowI didn't ask but thats helped me in my choices, i was looking at the Tomahawk myself but with it being one of the first Ryzen boards i wasn't too sure, for another £20 i was also looking at this freshly release Asus https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-69v-as.html thinking with that being launched after Ryzen it might be more compatible at the hardware level.

They were about a month ago, but they must have changed because mine are sk-hynix.

Ah that explains why you want to change then!
You had me wondering lol. You should have a better speeds than you have now.
My corsair 3000mhz hynix is only stable below 2400, yet bdie gskill is upto 3466

Fingers crossed then, the Gskill I've ordered are 3600mhz Samsung B-die.

Good luck! Although there is a few of us with ryzen now to give you a hand if you need it.
