Well this got out of hand quickly.
I agree, then if it becomes unstable you can alway adjust. I used to run prime for hours years back, don't bother anymore as I find other stress tests find the instabilities faster and never have an issue after settling.

Tbh I've never had an unstable overclock that wasnt picked up in gaming or video editing. You know when it's not stable, it crashes! But each to their own .

Just came to update the results of this bios. I can now run my memory at 2933 using xmp timings.
I'm running this RAM https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...00mhz-dual-channel-kit-red-led-my-48c-cs.html
I'm more than happy with the progress MSI has been making especially as its "only" a b350 board.

It really is, considering I couldn't even post at anything higher than 2400 just yesterdaySounds like a nice improvement
Soldato
Not always. You can get whea errors in event viewer and your system won't necessarily crash. You could spend a few hours in games at a time thinking its stable or just check the event viewer to realise you likely haven't got quite enough voltage.
Soldato
But if its not affecting me then why would I bother going looking for problems?
Its like asking for a diagnostic check on a car even though the engine management light is not on.
I realise people are different but a few hours in realbench and gaming is good enough for me.

I remember when people used to 8hr prime and call it stable i spent so long trying to get CPUs, a little tweak then wait over night and wake up to see if it ran and what the max temp was. I used to do it with all my rigs, then BFBC2 used to crash it after 10mins and haven't really bothered with it since, seems a complete waste of time unless you want to know if your PC can run prime for 8hrs!
As for prime burning CPUs out, well i dont agree its runs them at max clocks and runs them hard, if they are not capable of that for 8hrs then there is something fundamentally wrong with the CPU or overclock.

Because WHEA errors today can be random crashes in 6 months time at the height is summer.

Wehn/if it comes to that then I'll go deeper but I dont want to spend my time searching lol.
No offence to those that do.
What you need to do sir is go into bios and find the button that does the boosty thing
All very technical I know, you can thank me later

OP, is there going to be any roll of honour?
Exactly.
The exact RAM I've bought .. and now I'm reading all over that it's turd and that Samsung B-die is the bee's knees for Ryzen, 2x16GB is too much and dual rank is a no-no. Considered returning, but nah - AM4 was born yesterday and it's still learning to sit straight, let alone walk. Your post makes me feel better already [:
What I actually returned was the Crosshair VI, after reading about those self-bricks. Waiting to see what MSI have to offer (looking at you, sexy Carbon).
