I believe it was reserved for the high end boards, this was one of their selling points.
Bonus if they've added it! I have a tomahawk sat in its box it should have been sent back to scam but i couldn't be arsed packing it up in a box. Think it might end up on the bay or I'll wait for an am4 apu and make a little server out of it.......

Temps look a lot worse to me it's idling at 40c in a 23c room

it was better for i. With it on, I was being told that my idea temps were 12'

When i say better i mean more believable.
Idling @ 27 - 32 and under load @ 50 - 60 with it off, depending on what im doing, as opposed to idling @ 17 - 23 and under load @ 40 - 50 with it on auto.

I doubt this would make a difference to most things. NVMe drives may be different.
yeah but probebly a good thing to avoid doing.
Soldato
As mentioned elsewhere, at least on the ch6, just set pcie back to gen 3 rather than auto after adjusting black, and you get gen3 back. You don't have to be on gen2.

Just in case it not been posted seems there is differences in what is shown in the Software to direct reading of the vcore

I urge anyone using realbench, prime95 or the like to test stability to try intel burn test.
The reasons for this are I was able to run 8 hours of realbench and 8 hours of prime without issue. ([email protected])
I was looking for another stability test to check for errors that I have been getting in overwatch, nothing else just overwatch go figure.
I was looking for a linpack stress test and came across this. Low and behold within 40 minutes my system crashed. As in completely shut down and greeted with an overclock failed on switching back on.
I then had to increase the voltage a couple of notches to get it to pass.
The readme in this program states
Benefits of using Linpack:
1. More accurate than Prime95 Small FFTs/Blend (under x64 OS).
2. Takes less time to tell if your CPU/RAM is unstable than Prime95 (usually
something like 8 minutes Linpack vs 40 hours under Prime95).
3. Use the same stress-testing engine that Intel uses to test their products
before they are packed and put on shelves for sale.
Under the maximum setting this test took me 96 minutes.

Been using Linpack for years, always found that if it'd pass 10 max loops of that it'd pass anything!
Soldato
From now on this will be my go to stress. I knew something wasn't quiet right when overwatch was continually crashing despite lowering RAM speeds and using the same GPU in a previous build that was rock solid.
It had passed everything before it. But as I said 40 minutes in brought it to its knees.

Are you still seeing better performance than anyone else using hpet off?
Soldato
I still have the same as before yes. I have no idea why though. I'm going to turn it back and off to see what happens. As someone stated it could be a timer error. One thing I do notice is with HPET off my minimum framrates in heaven benchmark drop to single digits then immediately back up to 100 or whatever. Other games/benches seem fine however.
Soldato
Yeah, that is why I wanted you to do some timed tests rather than fps measurement, to see if it really is faster or just an error in measurement.
Soldato
Do you have any suggestions? I only have in game benchmarks to go by at the minute.

Intel burn test on a Ryzen CPU. The irony. 
So you set it to extreme and 10 loops? That's a good stability test?

Yeah it is a little unorthodox lol. Guess what ethernet controller the Asus crosshair hero 6 uses? An intel!
Anyhow it's been the only test to make my rig fall over. I've upped the voltage from 1.4 to 1.42 and I'm just over half way through 20 passes on maximum.
It's worth noting that intel burn test is just a linpack stress test. I like it just for ease of use.
Soldato
There is also LinX if you want an alternative to IBT. Essentially the same thing. Don't know if it's been set up for Ryzen yet though so YMMV!
