Another quick question..

Regarding the MSI B350 Tomahawk, what would be the best price/performance M.2 drive to use as an OS drive?
Doesn't have to be massive in size as everything else would be stored on a single 4TB hdd..

I wouldnt buy anything else myself.
 
So is there a concensus on who, or which board, has the better ram support?

And I know msi allow downclocking at idle...

I'm getting bored waiting for Asus to introduce some basic stuff.
 
Well, I'm on 2666 and system been up for 15 min and Aida been stressing ram for 10 of that.

No managed this before.

Fickle system is fickle!

--------------------

Didn't get to submit what I typed above when th system blue screened.

So out of pure plain old stubbornness, I am still pushing on, but took a slightly different route.

Used the DOCP profile, increased the timings by one for all so they were even, rebooted and got my usual for this - failed training.

Then I thought I would play around with just the procodt setting, and that alone. I think it defaults somewhere around 50 or something, though can't remember where I saw that figure now.

Went up a little to 80, no go

went down really low, no go.

went up to 96, no go

went up to 120, hey presto! Currently in windows with stress test on settings that I haven't been able to boot on before.

Only 10 min into aida test - will probably blue screen/black screen/hard reset before long - because every time you say a ryzen system might be getting stable it bombs out :D

When I first read about this setting, I read that it was pretty safe to play with. But then in that video with Robert Hallock, he said don't go above 80...

-----------------------

And again, in true Ryzen fashion, before I could submit the above, blue screen.

And then could no longer post no matter what I set the procodt to... fickle I tell ya!

So I am simply not going to get over 2400 on ram for a while - maybe ever!

I just don't understand why, when the system is 2400 or under it runs 2t, but anything over it forces 1t! Surely it should be the other way?

I think elmor told us that it changes automatically to 1t at 2666 or above.
I'm battling my own memory O/C at the minute. Can boot all the way to 3200 but nothing above 2400 is stable. There is some correlation between CPU overclock and memory overclock I've found.
3.7ghz + 2933mhz = instability detected
3.9ghz + 2933mhz = bsod or full reboot
3.9ghz +2400mhz = stable enough to launch a nuke

This is my 2nd 1700 - picked this one up from a friend at work who didn't like early adopter issues. This can do 3.9 as oppose to my old that could to 3.8 so nothing worth noting.
These are with hynix IC, my 4266mhz b-die will be here this morning so I will try some more. 3.9 - 3200 stable will be enough for me.

Try removing any CPU overclocks and try again. 200mhz less on my CPU took it from a full crash to a program error.
 
Oh, when playing with memory speeds, I just run CPU at stock - with additional voltage just in case.

I can have a crosshair in the morning, but really don't want to fork out and go through hassle of changing if I am likely to have same troubles.

I don't think I will likely notice any tangible improvement getting memory higher.... but it's nagging at me :D :( :/

Have you saw the AMD overclocking presentation yet? There are some useful tips in there. Running memory at 1.5v is one of them.
There are some improvements to be had from higher memory on cpu intensive stuff, whether its worth the cost is upto the end user :)
Like you its nagging at me! You could always wait until May to see what the updates bring. I'm an impatient child though so I ordered some Gskill already.

Do you have anyone near you with a CH6 you could try your memory on?
 
Got the new chipset update from AMD's site and the new 1.41 beta bios from MSI for the Gaming Pro Carbon and things do seem snappier, Also enabled me to run my memory at 2666MHz, Not quite it's rated 3000MHz but better than 2133MHz.
Also upped my Cinebench score from 1600 to nigh on 1800 :)

I'm glad you can say you have things such as clock adjustment and call it basic in the same sentence - Asus doesn't even give me that and won't even downclock the cpu whne OCed :D

Exactly the same score as mine. Not clocked as high but 3200 memory.
