    Ryzen 1700 or 1700x, priced equally?!

    I would be happy with that as well, thats a solid performance setting and within a good boundary of voltage vs performance

    Ryzen 1700 or 1700x, priced equally?!

    Oh wow that is good to hear about my chip as to get to 4.0 I had to go to 1.4v so I was kind of iffy. Sorry your chip wasnt't what you were hoping for but fingers crossed for Ryzen 2! Maybe agesa 1007 will help a few things out too since it is a supposed major overhaul

    Z370 taichi vs Maximus X Hero

    I am torn. I have the x370 crosshair for my 1700x right now and that will be going to my wife while I build this 8700k setup. I like the asus maximus, but I like the taichi for having just a bit more in the power delivery phase. Any people with either able to chime in?

    Overclocking Issues Ryzen 7 1700

    Glad you started to get things moving. Have you enabled the docp profile? It’s the AMD version of xmp that intel uses. Hat fixed things for me. I just went with the standard docp profile and it loaded up my rams settings. You may have to manually enter the ram timings even after the docp is enabled

    Overclocking Issues Ryzen 7 1700

    That’s odd, and I’m sorry to hear. I have been working on dialing the best settings for my new ryzen build as well. For you, I would suggest downloading the ryzen master software from AMD. It will let you over clock from within windows and reset. It could potentially fix whatever issue is going...

    Agreed they have but they aren’t quite up to the speed as the two I mentioned above. Plus the two I have listed above have nice OC headroom assuming the next agesa update takes memory a step even further

    Thanks for the input guys I’m going to check the motherboard compatibility list now. The part that makes it really hard is I was all set order G skill this month because they were supposed to come out with special memory for AMD but of course they didn’t come out with it and Newegg is having...
