I'm on an ASUS Crosshair VI. And I don't think I'm that brave considering Auto VCore is 1.46 for 40x and on stock voltage goes above 1.5 for single core boost.

I would advise using the latest beta of HWiNFO since it is very actively developed regarding Ryzen. And don't worry about the droop, mine does that as well. When trying to get 4GHz stable I had drops as low as ~1.375V from 1.4675V during load.

1800X @ 3.9 with +0.03125v (1.38125v for p0). Also hitting a wall when trying to get to a stable 4GHz.

Yeah, this really annoys me aswell, though I can understand it at least to a certain degree. But without the code I'm not too sure as to what to make of the results.

I probably went through the same dilemma, already gave up on the board except one desperate attempt with this BIOS. Now booting fine again. Might be worth a try.

Yeah I noticed that the wrong readings in the BIOS are caused by the beta BIOS, I flashed back the 0702 non-beta one and the readings were correct again. I changed the backplate nonetheless and I really think that needs to be adressed by AlphaCool etc. With the old AM3 backplate the cooler sits...

I have the same problem concerning temps. Which cooling solution do you use? I read at Toms that due to changes with the backplate there might be some issues. Seems like my AlphaCool Eisbär could be affected. So atm I'm not too sure if I should set up the system at all. Edit: I found a spare...

Very true indeed. But still a meaningful way when investigating cpu scaling / per core scaling nonetheless. Always depends ;)

Because if you want to focus on the CPU you try to take the GPU out of the equation as good as possible.

I don't really get what you mean by that tbh.

I went with the 3200CL14 Trident Z. Even if I need to lower the clock (until the updates arrive) these should be able to make up for it timing wise. I'm going to try to go with the default 3200CL14 from the beginning of course ;)

Concerning memory Gibbo from overclockers.co.uk shared some insight into what is possible at the moment. Basically he says from the boards they tested so far only the Crosshair was able to do 3000-3200 MHz: One thing to note is that populating only 2 of the 4 DIMM's, particularly A2/B2, seems...

I don't see what would be wrong with using the latest version if optimizations have been made to better utilize AMD CPUs? The comparison demo still used the old version.

German magazine computerbase did an interesting review about CPU core scaling in modern games in preparation for their Ryzen coverage. They come to the conclusion that modern titles do profit from more cores very well contrary to common believe.

Preordered an 1800x. Though due to some weird behaviour of the shop I couldn't order a board yet. Thought I decided on the crosshair but not so sure anymore... damn ;)
