@chroniclard I'll give it another shot when I try for higher RAM speeds again, I'm curious how much I'll get overnight with higher RAM speeds.
I'd imagine they sold through all they had and then some at those prices. The tax dodgers also sold through their entire stock and are no longer selling the 1600 and 1700X directly, with the 1600X, 1700 and 1800x also all out of stock on 1-2 month estimates.Strange, place I bought the 1600 from no longer has anything but 1300/X listed.
Crap, checked the order and it says "Stock problem"
"AMD Ryzen 5 1600 6 Core AM4 CPU/Processor with Wraith Spire 95W cooler' is discontinued; here are some similar products."

Isn't that close to what the R5 1600 should score in Cinebench by default?
In reviews the stock R5 1600 gets ~1150 points with 3000~3200Mhz RAM used.
You should get around 1275 with ram @3200Mhz with good timings.OK all seem back to normal. Removed Battery, removed power plug, took dog for a quick walk. Rebooted, set everything back up and seems to be back to what it was:

And a quick shot of the cooler in place:

Seems all of the prices are back up, that's disappointing. Thought they were permanent price cuts, guess not.

They do have the offset, yes, though I believe Ryzen Master shows the real temperature. Download HWiNFO64 and run that in sensor mode. The real temperature is a value called Tdie, whilst the offset is Tctl. An idle temperature of ~40 would seem a little high to me, though 55 under load is perfectly fine. My 1700X sat in the mid-20s at idle on air, even with Cool n Quiet disabled and a silence-optimised case.I've got my 1700X on a ROG Strix B350-f board (latest BIOS) and just want to check my temps are ok. I have been reading that the X chips have a 20 degree offset so is that still the case? Ryzen Master and the AI Suite show idle temps of about 40C and when I did the CPU-ID Bench it jumped up to about 55C. I'm running at stock with 16GB 8 Pack RAM at 3200MHz. I've tried 2 coolers (Dark Rock Pro 3 and Panteks TC14S) and both have the same temps although I do wonder if it could be my case (Define C).
I'm currently deciding on a x370 motherboard. I've been going over this for some time and have brought this list down to the Asrock taichi x370 or the asus crosshair VI hero x370. They are two awesome boards but I can't seem to commit to either. The asrock has two m.2s with awesome placement of stuff but I'm not too sure about the asrock brand tbh and the paint design of the cog looks terrible. Also some people online have complained about doa boards. The asus one looks beastly and has more or less everything I need but it has a silly feature which is a pci on top for a wifi card that they don't include and you need to drill through io shield for the wifi antenna. What are people's experiences with either?
