Hi, I'm running i7-8700 (non-K) on Asrock Z370 Pro4 and I've just switched 2400 MHz RAM modules for 3000 MHz ones and also upgraded BIOS. Now, I've noticed two things:
a) with 3000 MHz XMP profile enabled, my mobo increased bus speed from 100 MHz to 102, 2 MHz - is this normal and I should I let it be? Or should I change it back to 100 MHz?
b) Seems that the BIOS update lowered automatic turbo power limits (long term boost power limits is now just 65 W TDP - which is non-turbo value for the 8700), so I now experience power throttling when running XTU stress test. With the original BIOS version, turbo was working stable without any issues. Temps were alway OK - around 70 - 75 C under full load. So, it's safe for mobo to set long term power limit to lets say 115 TDP? Or will it blow VRM or something?
