Asus have just announced the Crosshair VI Extreme and I have just bought a CH6, interested to see how well it does with OC'ing.

I'm still on 2 BIOS revisions back, it's lovely and stable and I've spend so many hours playing around. I've just been spending so much time using it normally lately

I'll jump on the next one.

Just upgraded to it. No change to Corsair LPX 3200 (Hynix single side) , still won't run at 3200 or above. Will end up selling it and swapping for RAM with better compatibility for Ryzen eventually.

Yeah, had a look and not going to upgrade yet since I'm on 3.8Ghz+ 3200mhz and it doesnt really bring anything to the table as i dont have samsung dies or cold boot issues on 1403

Same here except i'm on 1401. Unless a new bios shows itself as bringing something to the table that will make a difference to my setup for the better, i have no intention of changing just because it's newer than 1401.

So the extreme..... :eek:

bakes0310 · 24 Jul 2017 at 07:11

Very impressed they made such a high end board for ryzen. If I was to make a ryzen build I would pick the extreme.

Yaayuh! · 24 Jul 2017 at 08:11

Is it really worth the extra over the standard Crosshair VI? Probably not, unless you want the WiFi and 90 degree ATX connector I suppose.

doodah · 24 Jul 2017 at 10:27

Just bought my Hero but think I will be okay, not really worth the >£100 extra. Nice board though!

Avathar77 · 24 Jul 2017 at 11:03

90 degree ATX connectors should be standard on high end boards IMHO.

Who is the poster of the bios ? Just a user edited bios or actually from Asus ?

From Elmor who's an ASUS guy. He's the one that's released all the Betas.

Well my 3600MHz memory was working at 3466 no problem then out of nowhere upon a reboot it refuses to work beyond 3200MHz, I tested it in an Intel 7700K based system and it booted straight away to 3600MHz so it's not broken, I really do hope we get proper memory support otherwise it's members market time for my 1800X and CH6

Only be a matter of time before others jump on the bandwagon, much like rgb.

In some cases a 90 degree connector would be a pain with the mobo trays routing holes, I'm one of the weird ones that prefers up right 24 pin connectors

What version on RAM do you have ?

DarkHorizon472 · 30 Jul 2017 at 20:20

I will post the full details when back later in the week, any help would be appreciated.

Timings , voltages etc. Make no difference.

I'm on the 1403 bios is it worth it putting on the latest one?

I'm running a R1600 @3.8ghz 1.3v my 8 pack 3200mhz ram running great at rated speeds.
