but I bought it before i was sure about the the platform choice (x99 was still an option), the price was already climbing end of june last year, got agood price, it was the right financial choice
Anyway the the 16GB was on a compatibility list from corsair (or in the corsair forum), and the list growth with newer bios
With ryzen being more productivity oriented, the 32GB kit will not go out of fashion, so full support might still come.
Says AGESA update. My guess is for the 2000 series, I’m running 1600 and haven’t updated because everything is perfect but I probably will. Chipset has an update, I updated that but from AMD not ASUS.
Forgot to reply myself. I also updated to 4008. 32GB Hynix still running at 3000. I did manage to boot at 3200 using Ryzen DRAM Calculator timings but it froze twice in a row almost immediately. Didn’t feel like pushing voltage so leaving it at 3000 with tighter timings works for me just fine.
Really tought I could get 3000MHz stable, but not just not quite.
The experience was different though
I did not lost the FAN settings after the upgrade (Ok I did not forced default settings neither)
=> edited fan where reset but PWM was not enabled on non PWM capable
before I reset manually the settings I noticed thath contrary to previous BIOS, some auto settings where tighter than the Overclocking SPD value, that is remarquable !
I do not now if the power saving improved greatly, or if the temperature sensors are now wrong under linux but the CPU temp. plunges in intactivity period
see a graph showing light activity (one browser tab open, then closed)
the ambiant temp. is about 20°C
Activity (6 VM opened and checking for update) temp. look normal
Are you running a 2700X on this board? Thinking about upgrading and getting rid of a superfluous watercooler with the 1700X at the same time (too much junk hanging around).
I’m actually running the 2700 in my ITX system but I still have work to do on that one. I am running a 1700 @3.8 GHz with a fury but that rig is not at home and will stay like that. The second one is curruntly running a 1600X, I might replace that base system completely. And then there is the Taichi Ultimate that I am waiting for…
I think it comes down to whether the mainboard’s VRM are able to deliver enough power or not. (And the BIOS ofc ). As far as I can remember, the Taichi had the best VRMs when compared to the other X370 boards, with Asus boards following. Which is why you should be fine with the Prime. That being said, I haven’t tortured tested it or anything, it just noticed the clock speed going up the same amount as on X470 boards according to reviews.
The next thing I’ll do with the 2700X is undervolting it - once I have results I’ll create a corresponding thread on this forum.
