Do share your config after you setup your rig. Eyeing on the Asus Strix X370-F too for a Ryzen system. Heard Ryzen is picky for RAM.

Planning to upgrade my MB+CPU+RAM around this month or so. But on the other hand still a bit hesitate as the threadripper and new Intel Coffee Lake might be coming very soon in the next few months.

I am eyeing on the AX370 too. What ram you are currently using?

Thanks for the info. How much you bought? Running at full speed of 3,000Mhz with default timing?

Great info!! I think 2933Mhz is good enough.

Yes, SG unit I also think ok. Just place my order for Giga AX370 Gaming 5 - new toys for the weekend.

Nope, I think you mistaken me for someone else. I am still using the rig in my sig. Finally back to AMD camp.

My last AMD rig is the Athlon 64 (very overclockable but can't remember which processor) and the funky DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D and later change to DFI NF4 SLI-DR Expert.

I think it was before the Core2Duo series from Intel came out and dominate the market until now.

yeah ... those were the time - OC really increase the performance by a lot. Now OC mainly just incremental performance boost.

same as yours - the R7 1700. Getting from AcheenAudioShoppe.

yes, good seller. Still waiting for him to confirm the postage charges.

hopefully tomorrow can send out so that i can build the rig during the weekend.

Yes, Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5 and DDR4 ram bought from Idealtech. They should send out by today.

yes, i have a Corsair H110i GTX but now bracket not compatible. Looking for way to get a Corsair AM4 bracket from US now. It is out of stock everywhere at the moment.

wow... din know it is RGB. Will run in the CPU for a while before start OC after the Corsair bracket arrive.

The first photo is your rig right? Damn nice.

great to hear that it has good performance boost in video rendering.

I think so too, even if my current 3770k still able to game nicely. Bottleneck is more on GPU.

Wow....wow....wow.....

of course No. If you have not lay your hand on the AMD Ryzen, maybe you should reserve your comment on the cooler etc, else later misleading others. No offence, just my 2 sen.

I tried to do that but the screws just refuse to come out, so give up. Anyway, the default cooler is just temporary - waiting for the free AM4 bracket of my Noctua D14 to arrive.

Noctua is so awesome - send the AM4 mounting kit all the way from Europe FOC.

In comparison, Corsair is CRAP!!! Even i want to buy the AM4 mounting bracket from US, they refuse to ship if the shipment goes though a forwarding service, must provide a physical address in US.
