Mine should be here tomorrow with my 1700. Will likely run it stock for a while until the braver souls give the all clear for OC.

You got it wrong.

When you get a new highend hifi amp the first thing you do is screw it apart to look how it is inside and marvel about the transforner and film capacitors.

Then you connect it to your speakers and lisnt to music for a very short while while you surf for a new dac.

The same principles goes for a computer the order is just a bit different.

You build it. Turn it on and pres Del and F2 50 times to enter bios. Entering windows before bios is an enthusiast offence. In bios you make an optimistic oc out the gate and try to boot.
When booted you search for a new bios.

If everything works you have to upgrade.
 
Ugh GEEKDEAL from eBay just messaged saying they unexpectedly ran out of stock on the 1700s until next week even though they marked my package as shipped yesterday. Annoying.

I would except the Taichi will and HAS in at least one documented case, run 3200 CL14 memory (what I bought) while the ASUS only says it goes to 2666, but I have seen many posts saying it won't go over 2400.

I expect a BIOS update will fix that. If not, since I'm a Premier member at the Egg I can return it as well with no restock fee.
 
I'm grabbing what ever motherboard pops up first between Asus,Gigabyte, and Asrock. I'm in super refresh mode right now 😉 I got that feeling somethings gonna come in stock.
 
I finally got my build ordered. Should have everything in a few days except the motherboard (welcome to the party). Coming from an A10-7870k this should be quite the upgrade.

Processor: AMD R7 1700
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 (Backordered)
Ram: Kingston HyperX Savage Black 16gb @ 2800mhz
SSD: Samsung 960 Evo 500gb
Cooling: Corsair H110i w/ 2x Fractal Design Venturi HP 140mm PWM
Case fan: Fractal Design Venturi HF 140mm

Recycled from previous build:
Graphics card: Sapphire R9 390 Nitro
PSU: Silverstone ST75F-PT 750W
Case: Node 804
Case fans: 5x Fractal Design Venturi HF 120mm w/ low speed adapters
 
Updated to the 1.62 beta BIOS:

"1.Improve XMP DRAM compatibility.
2.Add Simultaneous Multi-Threading(SMT) item in BIOS setup."

Didn't help my RAM situation at all. My 3200 RAM still only POSTs at 2666 or lower.

Disabling SMT is a nice option, at least, but this isn't the magical RAM fix I was hoping for.

Incredibly artificial benchmark, but still fun to see how far AMD has come since the Bulldozer debacle.

My Killer Sli won't go over 2400 From what I've heard samsung B die based ram is best.. Speaking of can anyone identify what brand of ram is on my ddr4

Well, I see why this is a beta BIOS now. Disabling SMT in BIOS works fine. Rebooting, enabled it, and still seeing 8 cores in windows. It seems that re-enabled SMT isn't working properly with this BIOS.

I could be windows doing that. Try re-detecting your hardware (at least that was the XP way and required for that)

Amazon allegedly has the Taichi on the 14th. Good luck with that.

At first I kept thinking the Z270 was the X370 (DAMN YOU AMD FOR COPYING INTEL'S CHIPSETS!). Do you have a link to where Amazon will have the X370 Taichi? Amazon will have the Intel Z270 on the 14th when I look.

Is anybody else as determined as me, hitting refresh on the motherboards for am4, 370 on newegg every 10 minutes ?

I WANT MY TAICHI !

Haha!!! That's what I'm interested in also. I just visited Microcenter and the guy supporting the CPU and motherboard section told me the 370 motherboards have been a horror show. Lots of returns and I guess they were expecting a bunch of boards but I guess a batch they were supposed to get was sent back due to quality issues. And yeah, everyone is complaining about not being able to get good memory speeds on their ram.

Interesting. It's almost as if motherboard manufacturers are intentionally disrupting the supply chain. BTW, if you go there again would you be able to ask the guy if they were getting those complaints when X99 was having the same issues? I'm very curious to know, but have no microcenter here.

I am almost certain that the motherboards that were sent back are Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboards.
