If you itch to overclock the timing then try using 1usmus's dram calculator suggested value, it might work, it might not work. They are suggestions only, never take them as absolute. Sometimes manually increase 1usmus's suggested value +2 on tRC and tRAS solves some problems [experiences of many users].


Some days ago I tried the "fast" preset and the computer did not boot. I am not sure if I have to add those +2 to tRC and tRAS or if I did something wrong. Or maybe some more V?

As if the system does not boot you can not access the bios, squeezing some more power out of the ram seems like a long task.

What do you thing about trying to go for 3600 with a common profile? hmm

1.45v for dram is recommended for FAST_1usmus, taichi suffers voltage lost hence need more than 1usmus's calculator.

make sure
vddr_soc 1.1v or 1.15v or 1.2v max (although I also tried 1.3v on 1700x for one week).
cldo_vddp 1.0v (this is not the regular simple vddp of 0.92v) infinity fabric voltage
1usmus calculator even recommend 1.05v - use this and don't be lower.
your zentimng shows 0.95v only, which is not enough.

1700x is gen1 zen1, the internal memory controller IMC is not able to run 3600MT/s = 1800Mhz. The 3200MT/s=1600Mhz is as good as it can be. Although quite a few guys manages to run 3466MT/s on 1800x, but yours is 1700 only without X, hence just hang on the 3200MT/s, my old 1700x can't even run 3200MT/s.

Upgrade your CPU to Ryzen 5000 series will be god-mode.

Don't upgrade ram. I bet your 3200MT/s will run 3466MT/s with the new Ryzen 5000. Hence don't waste money on ram.

regarding 900p access, please try a few more days, make sure all connectors are good and tight etc, try not to cross power cables over signal PCB traces [interference] (easier said than done, I know....)

A final setup that you've not yet tried/use is put 900p in pcie2 and GPU in pcie3 without the samsung970 at all. This to elimiate the possibility of M.2adaptor bad quality or the pcie male to pcie female riser bad quality or interferance from too many power cables flying around or components etc.


Thank you!

Images of the cut adaptor:

The pieces clear the ram, but the adaptor should be a few millimeters longer, as the drive parts touch other motherboard components, so the connector is not 100% plugged. If I use this route, I would have to remove the frontal piece of metal, and still, it was touching another thing as well, so, I am not sure if I can fit it right.

The cables thing... hmmm I think it is mostly good, but... I am not 100% sure.


Yeah, while I think that the adaptor is well enough connected because... well... same statistics.


Yesterday I swapped the things positions again:
PCIe1: Sound Blaster
M2_1: Samsung SSD
PCIe2: 900P
PCIe3: GPU
So... the photo: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1072856367632760942/1078013144791785522/IMG20230221183555.jpg?width=1337&height=1002

And I got equivalent results:
900p: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1072856367632760942/1077679173524529302/image.png and https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1072856367632760942/1077679197985705995/image.png

BTW< I got a setback. While trying to screw the Samsung on the M2_1, the metal "ring" where the screw is screwed, got detached:

may be expensive thick cable works ??? i.e. CAT5 cables looses out to CAT7 cables only at very long runs, like in this case was supposed to be 5cm direct to CPU because 25cm and extra sockets sockets connection not perfect.

no amount of overclock can recover the lost of long signal cables in this case high speed bitrate sensitive data.



I had one 40??20cm extension at my home, and it seemed to have pretty high quality, but I returned it before checking it.

Yeah, maybe the 20cm are not really a problem if the rest is right? or are you sure about the distance thing? In my case, I never had better or worse access times in any of the slots I connected the 900p

Oh, I will try to check out about removing the Samsung, or not, not sure :-p. The problem is that the Samsung is currently my boot drive. ^^u

For now I recommend you to keep this combination.
PCIe1: Sound Blaster
M2_1: Samsung SSD
PCIe2: 900P
PCIe3: GPU
I think this is the most important BASELINE reference performance, because no socket, no adaptors, optane900p shortest and direct to CPU.

I'm extremely shocked to see optane900p in pcie2 with low benchmark results, I'm extremely puzzled. It's in pcie2 which is the best it can be without adaptors connectors anomalies.

Reference my 1700x optane900p in pcie3 from 2017
______access__________4k-64thrd__________Score
_______read____write___read_____write       
pcie3 0.022ms 0.037ms 2211MB/s 806MB/s   5044 with optane driver could be this bad too
pcie3 0.022ms 0.037ms 2277MB/s 821MB/s   5164 without optane driver, using microsoft nvme driver
pcie3 0.022ms 0.037ms 2869MB/s 796MB/s   6038 without optane driver, using microsoft nvme driver

Hence I worry your 1700 cpu is badly degraded ???? may be ????
Please run CPU benchmark, like cinebench or something

The 1usmus MemBench is also good choice to test CPU health and ram performance, pay attention to CPU latency,

If I remember correctly.
1700 with 3200MT/s
XMP should be around 85ns or more ???
1usmus SAFE 80ns
1usmus FAST 75ns

I use ALL CPU meter 4.7.3 from addgadgets.com and look at the CPU 16x threads loading while running the 1usmus Membench, sometimes overclock ram too much the CPU loading bar does not reach 100%, but only 90%, means too much error due to overclock wrongly.

Sometimes as bad as 50% average loading on all 16x thread bars while running 1usmus membecnh, usually windows crash soon after.

Sorry to hear M.2 screw fell off.....

It is possible to borrow a CPU from friend to test ???

The CPU cooler hoses should be low, near earth, because at top there might be air trapped and not able to push liquid through efficiently. See youtube gamers nexus waterloop recommended way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGomv195sk

Well, about the M.2 screw falling off, I guess I have bad luck with Asus/ASRock mobos. The 2007 Asus striker extreme I purchased overheated itself and I had to use the warranty for a replacement after a hellish year of overheating crashes (the GPUs overheated as well ^^u). The replacement, the Carrera or Formula or something like that version, came without the reset button working (but after waiting 3 months for the striker replacement I wanted not to wait another 3 months), and maybe 6 or 8 months after it died. And now this with an Asrock. Oh, well...



Yeah, it is weird that the 4k-64thrd writing speed is so low. Are you using the same 900p Optane model and not, maybe, 905p, or something? :-O

Or maybe my mobo is not good enough. Are you using the same one? I guess that when I can (money required, a tough moment here with the crisis), I will swap both the mobo and the CPU.

Well, I think I have never obtained outstanding results in benchmarks, but I think my CPU is not degraded. I hope not! While I purchase it like 5 years and 3 months ago, I have never OC it and my actual usage of the computer is fairly low because of kids, etc. Just checking now while rerunning the mem benchmark, my CPU temp has gone up from 36 to 42 (and sometimes 43). While I have not renewed the thermal paste since years ago, I have not observed high temps nor throttling or something that would mean thermal stress to the CPU: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1072856367632760942/1078221485484822538/image.png

My thermal paste is the Gelid GC-Extreme (but in old green recipient format).

I guess that my Kraken x63 is still overkill for my setup. Well, I selected it (and the thermal paste) because I planned to overclock the CPU eventually. I got the Ryzen 1700 because was good enough to be OC as far as a 1800X can go (just maybe somewhat worse temps).

BTW, the Kraken radiator and fans are on top of the CPU. The case has 6 big fans, 1 at the back, 2 at the radiator on the top, and 3 at the front. The frontal ones get air inside, and the back and top ones extract air to the outside. BTW, the 4 not on the radiator are always working at 100%. I have to change their connection to one of the motherboard fan controllers. I am using a fully powered 6 ways Corsair splitter where all 4 are connected. I guess it is the one that came with the fans IIRC. All fans are Corsair ML 140 PRO.

I have never observed high temps in the CPU nor in the GPU. I will check more. I do not remember the GPU going over 72C degrees even with the Gigabyte overclock (not sure, but 80, never, even during benchmarks)

Maybe I need a fresh reinstall?? (I hate fresh reinstalls, and I hate windows being so bad with its auto maintenance).

Wow, I take notes about the overclock causing failures! BTW, I observed 100% CPU usage, as you can see in the CAM capture up there.

I will check the memory settings as soon as I can, and I will take photos before accepting them and trying to reboot ^^u


THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mobo picture link below, same x370 taichi as you and my optane900p is 280GB version same as you.

The reason I setup such weird way is because will try this weekend PCIe ver4.0 16Gb/s speed per lane using beta bios from old to check if can achieve 7000MB/s for SN770 at pcie2 and 6900XT run PCIe ver4.0

You seem to be a very well DIYir handy man....... would you be willing to try using a single small drop of epoxy glue to secure it ???

Or get a rubber lock thingy for M.2 https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.74.15616453HtL7BH&id=620459037990&ns=1&abbucket=9#detail

or a complete new set of nuts+bolts and top_bolts (pain in the ass to take out mobo from casing :(

modern mobo uses flip switch 90 degrees to lock the M.2 no longer uses screw, try to look for it if you have time.
