Hey guys, this has probably been asked already but got a question with the 8+4 pin CPU power connectors..
Will there be any problem in just using the 8 pin or should I get an adaptor for the 4 pin too in future? I will be overclocking but nothing over the top.
Thanks,

Ive only used the 8 pin as didnt have a 4 pin connector.
Seems ok , read somewhere you dont need the 4 pin anyway its the 8 pin you cant miss out.

Yeah, just don't put the SOC voltage above 1.2.
Nope, you are all good. you can overclock on just the 8 pin as well.
There is stock of the CH6, just not here. Mine is coming from Germany, 3-4 days delivery. PM me if you want details as I don't want to p**s off OCUK.
I originally wasn't going to go near this board, but the improvements in FW changed my mind, I'm now a hypocrite, but hopefully happier for it come the weekend when it arrives!
Mean't to edit, not quote.. doh.
Just setup mine today and im getting the error b2 displayed. I am also getting no display any idea how to fix this?I have the 1700 and the following ram https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...nnel-kit-black-grey-tdpgd416g3-my-076-tg.html
get the 0908 bios from ASUS website, rename it to C6H.CAP and put it on a USB stick. Plug it into the USB BIOS Flashback port and hold the BIOS Flashback button for 3 seconds while the machine is powered off. That will flash the bios to 0908.

I have the cold boot issue too. But clearing the BIOS when the fans spin and there is no boot, then bringing back my stable Profile, the PC boots straight away.
I could only see the 0902 and that did nothing for me
Guys, I'm awaiting my board but would love to set my expectations around the RAM i have.
http://www.overclockers.com/g-skill-ripjaws4-ddr4-2666-mhz-memory-kit-review/
It's CL15, 4X4GB @ 2666mhz. Will I be limited to 2666 on the CH6 or will i be able to overcook it?
It's capable of 3000 on Intel but i understand there are significant limitations that still exist with the firmware? Eventually I'd expect parity assuming the IMC on Ryzen it's limited at hardware.
Thanks

Thats the one, sorry I got confused. That bios apparently eliminates a potential motherboard bricking bug.
it'll just be a memory compatibility issue. If you can try a different kit, maybe Corsair Vengeance or something, it'll most likely boot up no fuss.
