Nice, I have k6 for the moment seems the board is having some memory issues as cannot start with 4+Ghz memory either on 1.1 or beta 1.11 BIOS... Anyway 3800 are fine with cl15... This board is so simple compared to X299 one i have in BIOS settings and etc... What drives me crazy is there is no Ftuning unitily for it...for Z370 there are two version but are not compatible with the board...hate to boot into BIOS just to test...some minor settings...  |

Your board has the F-Stream Tuning Utility, which serves the same purpose as any of the other ASRock tuning utilities, just with a different name. Some boards use A-Tuning, others a different version. For your board it is F-Stream, available on your board's download page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z370%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7/index.asp#osW1064" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z370%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7/index.asp#osW1064 Another program that is very good for over clocking in Windows is Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility. But so far it has not been updated for Coffee Lake processors yet. I suggest checking for updates to IXTU: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU-?product=66427 ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

" rel="nofollow - Did you try installing and running the APP Shop program for your board? You might find the utility you want that way. APP Shop is on your board's download page. You cannot use any of the other versions of A-Tuning, F-Stream, etc, with your board, they will not work. You MUST use the utility made for your board. If you cannot find the utility now, it should be available later. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

There's no A/F-Tuning utility in app shop. Very strange behavior from Asrock having this tool for some cheaper boards like pro4 but not Gaming k4... http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Pro4/index.asp#osW1064" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Pro4/index.asp#osW1064 Anyway just put Top 30 worldwide result in 3dmark Firestrike single GPU with it... https://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/fire+strike+3dmark+score+performance+preset/version+1.1/1+gpu" rel="nofollow - https://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/fire+strike+3dmark+score+performance+preset/version+1.1/1+gpu  Almost pushed to 4Ghz memory with 4 modules but in the trade of 2T instead 1T...    |

" rel="nofollow - Hello again, Can someone with deeper knowledge explain the difference between mine Gaming K6 and this i7 board. Just asking in terms of overclocking. As I can get i7 one but wondering apart from almost 30% more expansive and having Wifi what are the differences in BIOS, board circuit, components etc... All Extreme4, Gaming K6, Taichi and Gaming i7 are stating - 12 Power Phase design - Premium 60A Power Choke - Premium Memory Alloy Choke http://www.asrock.com/mb/compare.asp?Models=Fatal1ty%20Z370%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7,Fatal1ty%20Z370%20Gaming%20K6,Z370%20Extreme4,Z370%20Taichi Here's my best run on K6 sofar w/o delid:  Edit: According to Intel XTU Vcore is set to adaptive even in BIOS is set to fixed. Just fix it via XTU in Windows and seems the OC is stable and results higher:   |

The gaming i7 will have a higher quality VRM/power design. In my experience however that is only useful in extreme overclocking scenarios (LN2 etc) as it can provide cleaner current in more extreme loads. You are already at almost 5.4ghz, that is one hell of a (good) chip you have there. Honestly I doubt another board will get much more out of it. -------------
