If it’s anything like the gigabyte -

Turn off PSU at wall
Remove 24 pin
Remove CMOS battery
Wait 60s
Short CMOS pins for 10s
Wait 60s
Battery back
24 pin back

Try that
 
I have just installed the new BIOS for the Asus Prime x370, version 810. I was able to get a higher overclock and I will be interested to see if this has improved general stability. I do get the odd black screen from time to time.
 
Finally pulled the trigger on a 1600X, Gigabyte mATX and 32gb of Trident Z; have a feeling it's going to be the 'proper' upgrade I've been waiting for :D

But is it wrong that I just can't be bothered overclocking it? I feel like a little part of me has gotten old and tired...

Honestly, if you aren't bothered about bench results, I don't see the issue not ocing an x variant of these. Maybe if you are trying to push high framerates on high refresh screen.

I think a non-oced 1800x would possibly have been a better option for me as it can get higher clocks on few cores, as opposed to running all a say, 3.8 - Lightroom would probably handle a tiny bit better for me. But I didn't feel the like extra expense was worth it.

I have a non-x 1600 i'll be setting up today, so will probably put a 'safe' OC on that - wanted 1700x for this box, but again, didn't want the extra expense.

1200p 60hz on a 1060, so that's a bit of a no :) Really I'm hoping to erase the stutter and fps drops in the few games I play that max out 4 threads easily; Cities Skylines and Ark Survival at the top of the list.

Assuming a 3.9 OC, that'd be a mighty 8% multi thread performance gain. Doubt I'll feel that, tbh, but I'm feeding it some nice 3200 c14 memory and fingers crossed that'll be as good as squeezing those extra mhz without any of the fuss :)
 
ergh... looks like one of the parcels for getting this 1600 set up has gone wrong, so won't be getting today.

bloody annoying as wanted to go out tomorrow. Assuming they even deliver tomorrow.

I hate it when carriers mess deliveries. Skrews up plans massively.
 
Yeh the R1600 is worth the cash,I've been a Intel fan for a while but they just ask to much for their cpus.
 
Finally got my 1600X and K7 up and running.

But I'm running into an issue where the CPU is not clocking/volting down during idle, it seems to be hovering at 3.7GHz most of the time. Checked the BIOS and even resetted it and still the same thing. Power plan is on Ryzen profile. Everything is running on stock, even memory so I'm confused why cool n quiet is not kicking in. I'm on the latest F4 BIOS as well.

EDIT: Ok... so I decided to change the power plan to the default Windows balanced... and the CPU is now properly clocking/volting down, giving me much better idle temps... Ergh, going to sleep for now, might downgrade the chipset drivers to 17.10 and see if that works better.

EDIT 2: No wait... decided to check the settings for the Ryzen power plan and minimum processor state is jacked up to 90%. Dropped it to 5% like Balanced and now I'm seeing better idle temps.
 
Hey guys,
Just built a new computer. Ryzen 1700, 16GB 8 pack DDR (Runs perfectly at 3200 on XMP profile), MSI Tomahawk B350 motherboard, 500GB SSD and Palit Super Jetstream 1080ti. All in a Fractal design Define C non-windowed case. Using the stock cooler I've got the CPU to 3.6GHz by just changing the multiplier and setting the core at 1.2v keeping it under 85c in Prime Blend stress test. Anything higher and it's a pretty instant crash.

Am I right in thinking I would need an aftermarket cooler to increase it anymore (bearing in mind the case is sound dampened do not optimised for airflow) as 85c seems to be the max I really want to go to?

Cheers.
 
That temp seems high. There is a temperature offset in ryzen for the x1700 & x1800 which can add 20c to 1700 cpu temp incorrectly. Sounds like this may be affecting your temps giving a false reading or the cpu cooler may not be seated properly.

Will give that a try tonight. :)

Thanks to the post by Ste I was able to at least get the system to post, but sadly the cold boot issue remains.

I have now pretty much exhausted all options barring replacement parts. Rather than mess around any more I am just going to return the parts I have and review what I should replace it with.
 
I'm using Ryzen Master are the temperature's not correct in there?

Edit: Would rather not have to buy an additional cooler as the Spire looks nice and is very quiet but if I did what is a good cheap one? I did use some old Artic MX-2 paste rather than the included which is several years old but there was no liquid seperation, could that be an issue?

Thanks.
