Got the 8 pack dark pro 3200mz kit running to spec,ram voltage 1.37 runs fine for a few days then it will lower itself,but when I go into the bios it's still at the correct speed.

Did you get to the bottom of this.

I just checked mine and it defaulted back to 2133Mhz it was still set at 3200Mhz in bios but said it was at actually running as 2133 so I saved, rebooted and its back to 3200Mhz.

I'll keep checking it.

I'm running 1701 BIOS

So looks like I may need to jump to the "Beta"

Had my ram in the grey slots, put them in the black ones and fingers crossed it's ok.

I had an issue with the 8 dark pro resetting the speed and timings on boot, I went into Advanced\AMD CBS\DDR4 common and set Fail_cnt to 8 and the speeds have been fine ever since. Just using the xmp profile. Looks like it needs a couple of tries at boot to set the speed.

Just started to play with my new CH6 and been out the game for a while.

I have updated my BIOS to 1602 and my idle temps seem to have jumped up by around 10C. That can't be normal? Sitting idle now; 40C with a 1700 at stock + a Kraken X52.

It’s a setting in bios you need to change, Called sensi skew or something similar. If you google it you will find it, it is used for 1700x and 1800 Ryzens but shows high temps on a 1700.

Thank you. Before the update, my Trident RGB 3200 CL14 would run at 3200 but now it appears to do so in the BIOS (though it didn't show in Windows).

OC'ing the 1700 is next

I have done the same thing, first i found the sweep spot for memory i.e frequency & timings and later I have Oc'ed my CPU. Less fiddling if ur RAM is B-die.

I have the latest BIOS
R5 1600 clocked to 3.75Ghz - Put 1.35v in the BIOS but CPUZ is showing just 1.264 at idle and under full load - Everything still stable and running after 1 hour of Prime as well.
I haven't touch any LLC settings

anyone found the onboard sound is really distorted lately? Only started about a month ago, i thought it was just iracing update but its actually all games. Mainly effects the BASS, which seems to be coming through my speakers rather than my sub now.

CPU-Z just reports what the CPU is requesting not what its getting from what ive seen. Try HWmonitor to see the actual voltage?

jrwagh333 · 16 Oct 2017 at 18:49

Same there - VID 1.281v

That should be fine, mine runs 3.7 fine with 1.2v.

jrwagh333 · 16 Oct 2017 at 19:45

Well I tested 3.8Ghz at 1.3v with Level 1 LLC and it crahsed after 2 hours.
Gone back to re-test at 3.75Ghz 1.3v, Level 1 LLC

If that is stable then I may work on bringing the voltage down as I am happy with 3.7GHz.
I may push for 3.9/4.0 one day when I get some time but I don't really want to go past 1.35v

Jumped upto the 1701 bios from 1501 and had the issue someone else reported where the fan management wasn't working correctly and had my fans stuck at 100% dropped bios to 1602 and it still did the same off the bat but after tweaking it's now working correctly and silent again.

Had to setup the OC again but back running @ 3.9 and seems stable in games so far with the limited time I got to play last night.

chroniclard · 17 Oct 2017 at 10:31

Unsure if its the bios(1701) or not but sometimes my fans just spin up a bit even though the temperature indicated shouldn't spin up the fans.

Mostly works fine, my fans dont go over 20% until it hits 60 degrees.

mattyg · 17 Oct 2017 at 10:33

Not had any fan issue apart from FanXpert4 playing silly beggars at first but that seems to have sorted itself out.

Although I'm not OC yet. So may not be a bug I encounter

chroniclard · 17 Oct 2017 at 10:44

Yeah I gave up on fan xpert, just stopped working/doing anything, went back to the bios curve. Plus AI Suite is crud/bloatware.

You can start it up, make the settings, and shut it down. The settings stay in effect. I find it very handy for setting my fan and pump speed.
And you can prevent it from auto running on start up.

Ah interesting, I would assume its changing the bios settings then?

Glanza · 18 Oct 2017 at 18:44

Tested earlier and put 1701 back on, to sort the fans being at full speed the bios defaulted to the wrong mode, changed that and all good with the fans now. Need to finish tweaking my OC again though now.

clone · 19 Oct 2017 at 10:32

Ram problem now sorted putting them in the black slots worked for me even though the manual said to put 2 sticks in the grey ones.
