Difference so far is my RAM kit Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit - Black CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 now boots without envoking DOCP, just chose the frequency (3000) in the dropdown, F10 and it boots first try. Cinebench score was a bit lower (1144) as opposed to 1151.
Set it back to DOCP and again reduced the kit’s default XMP voltage from 1.4 to 1.2 and all is fine again, Cinebench is back to ~1150 as well.
Not yet. Tempted to leave this one on the shelf as I’m pretty happy with my system right now… but as an update addict that probably won’t happen. Might install this weekend.
My memory still not recognized out of the box and needs tuning
and actually it is worse for me because 3000MHz is not stable anymore so I am back to 2933Mhz and 1.3500V, I briefly tried to increase the voltage som more and gave up
So, from my experience, I would not advise to jump on theis release
As for testing memory stability, I found that the quickest method is … to reboot… (warm and cold) severtal times.
If the system takes a long time or several attempts to go through, it just is not stable and you need to revise the settings
Once the systems boot smoothly and concistently you should be fine
This is crazy I have the ASUS ROG STRIX x370 and I have a 3600 mhz RGB kit … (samsung b die OC’d from 3200 no problems)
. This was on the stock factory bios from the factory too. i only updated later for OC stability…
@MisteryAngel whats the low down on the memory issues are they still prevalent…
Its really interesting to see what happens and how sensitive a platform can be to memory. Thought those days were mostly gone
My Case Fans are the standard corsair ones delivered with the case Carbide R300
The PWM control did work with older version of the firmware (32xx), so I doubt they are the problem. and I obviously can live with the DC settings, just an annoyance
The CPU Noctua Fan worked from day 1, no issue there, the quality is better, no argument from me here
thanks for the clarification,
I thought that 3 pins were enough if all the electronics were on-board
1 for the power driving the fan, 1 for the sensor and 1 common
Well whatever “performance improvements” per ASUS’ description on 3805 means, it’s apparently true. Best CPU-Z benchmark so far, nothing changed other than the UEFI update, nothing overclocked other than the DOCP XMP for the RAM. Cinebench is the same ~1151 as 3803 UEFI but that fluxuates a few points anyway.
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.
