In fact cold issue also happened on other brand, from other forums info asrock also have this issue. So could be amd issue.

Since I switched to RAM listed on their QVL. No cold boot issue for my Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5.

1700 will last longer.

No auto. Unless what you are talking is turbo boost.

This board I like very much!

Basic DDR4 stock speed should be OK.

Then again. I can't guarantee compatibility for not following QVl.

If i remember correctly there are 2 sellers in this forum selling at RM1399 or RM1350, but it is oversea set.

Try looking for user called CheapASF.

Yup, another guy is AcheenAudioShoppe, https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...262837&hl=audio

This guy is good, he will deliver the item your doorstep personally, i bought my evga graphic card from him last 2 weeks

Take out your graphics card, re-seat it. See how it goes. Remember to plug the power if graphics card requires.

Ryzen processors generally damn difficult to reach 4Ghz, even reach also not worth.

You get as good a performance on 3.8Ghz.

I got unused Sapphire R7 250X if you wanna use that to test. Genting Court Condominium, Setapak is where my house is.

I'll take the 1700. If Ryzen 5 I'll take the 1500X.

Pulled the trigger on a R7 1700....now just waiting on a fairly decent ITX board to complete my build.

 

Hey, have you guys tried this tool Bottleneck Calculator

My current Intel build has a 10% CPU bottleneck but my upcoming AMD build will have a 17% GPU bottleneck   

I'm gonna have to start a fund for a GTX 1080 or RX Vega equivalent.  

Not sure what monitor you are using but if Dell u might need to manual switch the correct port by using the built-in function

I never use dp or minidp before, even the free minidp cable free from dell also don't know where i throw already.

Are u sure or not? HDMI 2.0 already able to support 4K

I have a Thermaltake Water 3.0 AIO cooler from my currect build.

How do I fit this to an AM4 mobo?

Also, when I rebuild my rig to use an AM4 mobo + Ryzen CPU, what happens to all my software licenses?

I believe your current AIO do have AM3 socket from the package, there are 3 options here:

1. Buy Asus motherboard, Crosshair 6 Hero or X370 Strix, both motherboard support AM3 & AM4 socket
2. Contact Thermaltake Malaysia ask for extra AM4 socket (might need to buy it)
3. Change cooler.

Actually windows will not gone (but depends on type of license), there are still option for you to activate by the reason of changing hardware.
