Same thing happened when I had my RX 480 using amdgpu (open source)
Fedora seems to have the same problem.
I’m thinking it may just be the kernel having issues with some part on the motherboard, as others can get it working fine.
Well yeah you seem to run the right Nvidia drivers.
Maybe try an Ubuntu 17.04 based distro?
Its probablly an kernel issue, i dont know exact all the controllers on your particular motherboard out of my head.
But i suppose that the controllers arent that much different that what you would find on the Gaming 5.
Wendell did testing on Fedora with the Aorus X370 Gaming 5,
and that seems to work fine.
So yeah its weird that you having these particular freezing issues.
It could of course still be that your particular motherboard the Gaming K5,
doesnt play nice with Linux.
Thats is allways a possibility of course.
But it would a dissapointment if you spend money a new board,
and still run into the same issue if you know what i mean.

I also would still try a PSU switch. My theory around board stuff being incompatible was based on the idea it was the same board. But those two boards have different sound chips, different LAN, different everything basically…
I have not had any problem with fedora 25 / 26 here with the ASUS PRIME X370 PRO other than BIOS updates. If I can help I will I am not a expert.
R7 1700 @3.75GHz
ASUS PRIME X370 PRO
2 x Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB (2x4GB) 2666MHz DDR4
SKU: HX426C15FBK2/8
ASUS STRIX RX 480 8G OC
There must be something with your specific hardware config that Linux does not like. As i mentioned I also have the same motherboard on an Ubuntu-based distro with 4.12.2 kernel, with the 470 and had no freezes. There definitely some instabilities here and there but non really worth mentioning. Had no crashes or freezes while doing stuff or gaming.
For real? How did you get it so high, are you running LN2 24/7
Sorry typo 3.75 …oops

Now I’m curious… I specifically remember on my old motherboard disabling IOMMU and my wifi card stopped working, but the system was stable… Hmm…
Wait, what? You are running a wifi card?
Yeah, occured to me that I forgot to throw it in the PCPartPicker. It’s a TP-Link TL-WDN4800 I believe.
Welp, fixed the PCPartPicker link.
Don’t know for sure if the card is the problem but I guess we’ll find out soon. Using a USB generic 802.11n wifi adapter.
Gonna be moderately upset if all that the problem was is a $30 pci-e wifi card, but at least I RGB-ified the system in the replacement process, which is good I guess…

Well, could have saved you two weeks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Where I have the card in my system it’s hidden underneath my GPU, so I didn’t think much of it.
It’s most likely it, in the log you provided you can see that the interrupts are caused by ath9k which is a wireless Foss driver.
Welp, hasn’t crashed yet as I type this… Only time can tell though.
Pretty sure my i5 6500 was working fine with the same adapter, but only really time can tell there.
Yeah, try your tests and give us an update when you are sure.
BTW I am definitely fan of this forum. It’s been 2 weeks and there were still ppl trying to help … It’s fucking gorgeous!

Well you did say that the problems started after kernel update right ?
