ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

Ill be upgrading if its worth while (it will be) from a 2700x to one of the new ones, dont need more threads, just want more mhz and IPC. Will give the X570 chipset a few months to mature, but if X370 is fine with the new chip might just stay with it.
 
I’ll be getting a 3700x on release and using it in my ch6 to start with. If x570 proves to be better I’ll upgrade the board as well.

I’m looking to nephews pc from a 7700k to am4 so he can just get my old parts going forward so he’s getting my 2700x no matter and either my ch6 or a b450 board.

Updated the BIOS again, 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Mouse does not work in BIOS with 7106 for me but it boots fine so?

Same, working fine in windows, logitech mouse doesnt work in bios however I plugged in an old mouse via front USB port and it worked in the bios, useful to set my fan curve, otherwise keyboard is fine for most of the settings. :)

I always use the drivers from AMD, dont like the bloated software supplied by ASUS which are usually versions behind what is available direct.

This.

I don't install any ASUS software either as it's usually got some sort of bug/issue or just crap.
 
Over on OCN they're getting on with it so far, though something not quite right as you can see (note also not stability tested yet): https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-...-vi-overclocking-thread-826.html#post28032728

The write speeds?

" That may cause a problem for the memory write speeds when using processors equipped with single CCD - any Ryzen 3000-series with eight or fewer cores - because the data fabric-to-UMC speed, inside the cIOD, is 32 bytes for reads and writes: they don't match.

AMD says that this is a calculated design choice for Zen 2, due to most client workloads not writing as much. Halving the data link write speed between CCD and cIOD saves area, improves power, and has ancillary knock-on benefits, too. The downside is half-write speed because of the slowness of the data fabric in that direction."
 
So far so good.

No problems with latest bios flashback.

Voltage is showing close to 1.5v in BIOS and temps around 50C. However when in Widnows those temps are normally sitting around 33C (27-28C water temp) with spikes to 50C. When all core workload is on, voltage is around 1.325V.

While playing Metro Exodus CPU temps are around 49C with rare short spikes. After a while of doing stuff in Windows and playing, when I looked at HWinfo 6 of my cores had at some point >4.6GHz (4 of them 4.65, 2 of them 4.625). Pretty happy with that, no point to OC. All core workload takes them to around 4.15.

My memory is not working at XMP (3466) 4 samsung e-die sticks, the best I could set it at so far is 3200 14-16-16-32. Latency is higher than expected around 79ns (or maybe normal ? not sure).

The worse of all was one fitting that was leaking:/

CB20
7347 and 507

CB15
3238 and 208

My previous ryzen 1700 had CB15 around 1730 and CB20 3852/391
