There is at least a month more before you could score a Zen 2 CPU. I bet there will be at least 1 more BIOS version before that happens, and one more, shortly after.

Now is a good time to strat reading how to use all the tools required for a proper OC, and start practicing. You should be able to reach 3400-3600 even now, if all is done as it should.]]> Fri, 14 Jun 2019 04:14:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63779&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63779 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63778&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63778 Author: T1125P

Thanks all so I guess I will OC to 3600mhz or if the ram can go to 3733mhz it would be nice. :D I'll do this when I buy the 3900x. I also read the 3.43 BIOS has issues with Windows not booting and 3.40 is more stable , and both support the 3000 series.]]> Fri, 14 Jun 2019 03:07:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63778&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63778 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63766&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63766 Author: xhue

I am not a fan of OC either, but it's practically a free upgrade with these kits, and they are rock-solid 24/7.

You can easily save a few hundred bucks by not buying new RAM.

As for OC being harmful to the chips, it's not. It's the voltage (and amps, respectively) that kills them. Keep the voltage in check and all should be fine.

More so, Flare X are backed by a lifetime warranty. You don't basically lose anything!]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2019 15:48:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63766&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63766 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63763&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63763 Author: gizmic

never believe on shortening a lifespan of a part and i overclock hard but this generation i didnt bother because its already doing it on its on and if you dont tweak it it runs on 1.5V max

Yes I do have them: G.SKILL Flare X Series. I was never a fan of OC, doesn't OC always shorten the lifespan of a product no matter how cool it runs?

If you have decent B-die chips you can even OC them to 3600 as I did with some of mine.

These Flare X are mofo beasts! I even tightened some of the sub-timings, thanks to the AMD mem calc by 1usmus.]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2019 05:31:12 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63760&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63760 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63754&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63754 Author: T1125P

Oh ok good to hear thank you.

The board itself should be able to handle mem speeds around 3700, even with 4 sticks.]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2019 00:48:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63753&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63753 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63752&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63752 Author: T1125P

One more thing, since 3rd gen Ryzen supports faster ram will this board support DDR4-3600 and DDR4-3733 with the new BIOS updates?

thats considered cheap if you compare whats in the market and

2 3800X cost $798
2 3800x cost $658

i'm surely getting the 3950X for stream purposes stremaing at 1440p drops me below my screens native refresh rate :P]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2019 15:11:03 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11634&PID=63726&title=x470-taichi-cpu-support#63726
