Would I be wrong in saying even navigating windows with 5-6 windows open, Outlook, Chrome, youtube playing etc feel much better than a 4 core. My other machine is a 4c 4.6Ghz 4690k with same SSD and the Ryzen system feel smoother in general.

Scramz are you talking about when your PC is under minimal load it drops to 1.5Ghz ?

Where are you setting the balance mode ? I have gone through the (crosshair) bios, mobo software and windows power modes and none of them are dropping speeds at low use/ideal.. I think i am suffering from looking at bios settings for too long :(

Balanced mode in Windows power settings. On minimal load I am seeing the frequency drop to 1498Mhz (1.5Ghz) and then peaking on all cores to 3.9Ghz at around 1.31v see the photo below.

Hmmm mine on balanced just sits at 3.8Ghz on all cores :(

cancel that I sorted it :)

Not sure if anyone else is using the AMD Ryzen master software but it looks like, for some reason, it locks one core at peak speed after a while. Closing it and using other monitoring software stops this happening for me.

Well, hopefully I will have this Asus prime plus on its way to to ocuk this week and hoping I can get either gigabyte k7 or Asrock taichi by the weekend.

Msi only out the running because they are lacking sata ports. Gigabyte nearly out because of only one m2.

Does anyone know if those big covers on io ports come off? Worried won't fit with 140mm radiator in way

My final tests.... Screenshot was taken as soon as realbench was finished to capture temps under load.....

Nice OC, look like it clocks the same as my 1700. If you up the amount of RAM it gives it that all bit more stress or 10 run of the H264 test to be sure. Which cooler you on?
