do you have usb ports at the front of your case, im asking because when i fitted my corsair cooler and used the usb header on the ch6 i cant see any other headers to connect my case usb ports

SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

I do yes. But had to remove the USB 2 Header to use the H110i. Still leaves me with two USB 3 so I cool with that.

Sorry if it sounds stupid but I'm staring at and can't work it out
How do you use usb 3, do you need a cable to plug into the motherboard, halfway up on the righthand side.

noctua D15 for me any day for me like, currently got my 1700@ 4ghz @ 1.45v holding at 60c and new cini score of 1770
Yep high end air coolers and 240 AIO are actually pretty similar both in terms of temp and sound level these days. It is more an aesthetic choice to go the AIO route.
Custom loops and things such as the newer EVGA AIO though where you can add more rads in may/should still give you the cream of the crop to have your fans on the lowest settings to get the same temp performance of either air or AIO and if you want of course you could keep temps lower but honestly as long as they don't throttle then I would set fans on anything as low as possible.

looks like im going to have to get a usb extension cable and leave it plugged into the rear of the board and just pull it around when neededMy Case has a lead to plug into that header
Eh?
There are 3 headers.
USB 2.0 on the bottom of the board, middle.
USB 3.1 next to the above, blue colour.
USB 3.0 right side mid next to ATX.
You can buy internal USB adapter cables to add additional devices to each header so you don't need messy external cabling.
NZXT do a really nice magnetic USB internal hub as an example, here:

Doesn't need to be an NZXT case. Other manufacturers exist also.
Just managed to pick up a 1700 and gigabyte matx board for £312. Was gonna wait for r5 but the price was too good to pass up. I just wondered whether to use the included cooler or I have a shadow rock lp, do you think there would be much difference in what I could achieve between them?
Yeah, AMD cooler has the RGB ring so swag factor is off the charts
Just make sure you do the important step of unscrewing the fan and rotating it 90deg to be the correct orientation, made me OCD go mental until i did that.
Are you having the same issue?If you figger it out, let me know
Is it to do with setting the voltage in the offset rather than the p state because I did this already. I will search again.
4Ghz @1.4V
VDD SOC manual voltage @1.175v (will test offset again and may change to that)
Load Line @3 for CPU and VDD SOC
DRAM 1.4V (will try 1.35V)
PLL 1.85V (will try 1.80v)
P State 0 Custom Settings (allows idle clocks and full speed clocks in balanced power profile within Windows!)
FID A0 (change this to adjust frequency, works in hexadecimal, A0 = 4Ghz 94=3.7Ghz 99=3.825Ghz)
DID 8 (don't touch this)
VID 3A ( don't touch this setting, if you need more/less voltage, use CPU Offset voltage in the first image)
If you are referring to this then I cannot see what I am doing different to you :/

Yes. Leave all other overclock/multiplier settings at default = Auto. Use offset for changing voltage, only change FID to adjust frequency. DID and VID left at default settings. If it's not working, then usually something else was changed. Took me a while to figure it out.
I'm gonna have a play. I know where the 2700 is coming from - pstate 1. Now i need to find why pstate 0 isn't working....
