Ron, I edited this for you. Hint, when placing a pic the linkage must end in a graphics format like jpg, png etc. HTH in the future

Awesome! An 8c/12t CPU kicking the pants off a 12c/24t Xeon setup is brilliant!

Welcome to the forums Skyhawk1947!

I use https://imgur.com/ to upload my images for the forums. 

Then: 

1. Click the image you uploaded and copy the "direct link" address. 
2. Click "Full Reply Editor" on your reply box here on the forums (next to the bold, italic, underline and text color icons)
3. Click the "insert image" icon and paste your image link in the text box, make sure you delete the "http://" before pasting so it does not end up as http://http://myimagesite/myimagehere.jpg

The X370 Taichi is a very solid board, I have one myself paired with a 1600x and I am loving it too Wink

Hello I got the X370 Taichi Motherboard & 16GB Ram CORSAIR DDR4 2X8gb  / 16GB 3200MHz Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C-16.  I have the Rizen 1700 processor. A SAMSUNG SSD 840 SERIES 250GB DRIVE. A 650 watt PS. A NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 TI Video card, setup with two (2) Acer 24 in Monitors.

I built this system on June 13th my 70 Birthday!  Before I had the Intel Asus P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT  With Intel I7 Processor.

This was my first AMD build,  I love it,  it's great & the ASRock mother is super as in the past 10 years I only use ASUS Motherboards & Intel Processor.

This my First time to be on the Forums ASRock  board & getting a lot of info. I have some CINEBENCH files I would like to post but I got to find out how to uploads the JPG files?

Thank you datonyb for taking the time to reply. Some very useful information there.

I have considered the 1700 (because I think it comes with a cooler in the box whereas the 'X' versions have no cooler?), and still have not made my mind up. I don't like the idea of overclocking. I like to stick with manufacturer specs. (EDIT: but I want the flexibility to do it in the future hence the X370 as my chioice). I also read an article (in techradar I think) a while back about the failure rate of new CPUs out of the box, and how that increases when overclocking is used. (I can't find anything on that subject now though).

Not sure how much RAM to get, probably 2 x 8GB will be enough.

What CPU cooling have you used?


Ryzen is very safe to OC. Between 3.9 and 4.0GHz you will hit a voltage wall that may explain the article you read. I haven't seen anyone yet that killed their CPU that stayed at or below 1.4V.

My 1700X runs stable at 4.0GHz, but it wants 1.4V to do so. At 3.9GHz it only needs 1.3V so that is where I keep it when I want more power. If I'm not gaming I just run it as it was designed without the OC.

My reading so far has made me aware that Ryzen CPU don't work well with "4 channels" of RAM i.e. 4 RAM slots occupied, if all 4 are occupied RAM is limited to 2133Mhz(?) irrespective of what speed your RAM chips are. Which I am understanding is down to the UEFI.

Also if only 2 RAM slots occupied RAM can work up to 2999Mhz.

So I am confused. What is the limiting factor that means you cannot put in 3400Mhz RAM and expect to get 34000Mhz running capacity... Be it 2 slots or 4 slots of RAM.?

It's not so much 4 slots is limited, but the chips the ram uses.  

For example,  I'm running 4x16 (64 Total) on a Taichi.  They are running at 3200MHz (their rated speed).  The only modification I had to make, was to bump the CAS down to 18.  So instead of 15-15-15-35, I'm running 18-15-15-35.  

Now, the important thing here, is that the chips on my RAM are Samsung B-Die.  Those are the ones most people are having success with.  

Also, AGESA 1.0.0.4 only supports RAM multipliers up to 3200.  1.0.0.6 will come with up to 4000.  You can mess with a BCLK to go above either.  But as a beginner, I'd advise against overclocking BCLK until you're familiar with how certain things react.

I'm taking so long with this, by the time I go for it, maybe the AMD Vega GPU will be out.
