My R7 1700X and Crosshair VI Hero are coming next week.... hehe...
So... exciting.

Nope... get it from other country.

I noticed that the price is very close to MSI xPower Titanium.
It might gonna be around RM17xx when it's launched in Malaysia.

ASUS Crosshair VI Hero Malaysia price has been announced.

Thailand there selling around RM1.4k (using 7.8 conversion rate) for this model.

Btw... I need to ask you something.

I'm using 1700X with Crosshair VI Hero and Corsair Vengeance LED 8GBx2 3000MHz CL15.

I can't push my RAM push over 2666MHz at all.

Can you give me a bit of advise?

I did but still won't boot. The recommended timing is 15-17-17-36 @ 1.35v.

I even raised voltage up to 1.4v and still no luck.

P.S. I'm stuck at 2666 MHz with timing 14-14-14-14-30 @ 1.35v.

I will try to OC my CPU to 4.2GHz to night
and will try to raise my DDR speed at the same time.

I did try to raise my BCLK to 102MHz yesterday
and already had hard time to boot.

There are a few people starting to put the concern about the bad memory controller
on 1700X which made in China because it can't operate RAM at 3200MHz while 1700 which
made in Malaysia can operate RAM at 3200MHz easily.



P.S. My 1700X can't be overclocked to 4.0GHz at all. 3.9GHz@1.45v only 85% stable.
And default settings will just crash without any warning at all.

Cryorig A80 with two 140mm fans (push) and one 200mm fan (pull).

They still do no have the mounting kit for AM4. It seem like have to wait
until mid of April 2017 for them to be able to ship it out.

Luckily ASUS Crosshair VI Hero come with AM3 and AM4 mounting holes.
It's really genius idea from ASUS. It's one of the strong selling point for
ASUS at the moment.

The color has nothing to do with the price. Price jacked up is only in Malaysia.

It's being sold in Thailand almost the same price with other brand top end model.



Nope...

ASUS Crosshair VI Hero = 10,200 Bath / 7.8 = RM1308.00

MSI X370 xPower Gaming Titanium = 11,200 Bath / 7.8 = RM1436.00

ASUS price different is only around RM90 but you will get extra one year warranty
if you register the product online (not sure about this campaign still valid now or not).
It's kinda fair.

ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming
Malaysia price = RM1279.00
Thailand Price = 8,990.00 Bath / 7.8 = RM1153.00

Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5
Malaysia price = RM964.60
Thailand Price = 6,590 Bath / 7.8 = RM845.00

Maybe you will need to use the cable tie for the cooler first
or maybe you can go for ASUS Crosshair VI Hero that has
AM3 mounting holes.

I don't quite understand what you mean exactly.

What I meant is acutally you can just buy most of the water cooler right now because of
most of the high end water cooler brand already promised to give the retention kit for free once
they're ready. You may need to use to use the cable tie to tie the water block to the motherboard first.

Please consult with the seller first before you buy it.



I was thinking exactly the same because most of the x370 board has the unnecessary features
that I don't need but I still ended up bought the high end x370 board just because it look nicest
and has AM3 mounting holes. hahaha...

About the overclocking part is mostly on your luck.... It's what we called 'Silicon Lottery'.
If you get the good chip then you can even overclock to 4.1-4.2GHz easily and low vcore voltage too
but if you get the bad chip then you can't even get it to 3.9GHz even with high vcore voltage.

P.S. Seem like 1700 giving the best odd at the moment.

Just need to fill this form and wait.

Hi.. goldfires

Do you have any idea whether Dual Rank RAM will get update to support above 2667MHz or not?

I'm not sure about you but my 1700X system was completely unstable
with the default settings. It was randomly crashed.

I had to overclock my 1700X to 3.8GHz with vcore 1.3625v, LLC level 2,
and SOC at 1.2v to make it completely stable.
