    If you use VP9 google won't re-transcode it's native resolution. It'll still be processed for lower bitrates though, but at least the original version you upload won't be modified, so it might end up with you having a better quality video than uploading as h.265 and forcing google to transcode it to vp9 in the back end.

     

    Google has a guide to performance/quality settings and as far as I know these are the settings used internally by YouTube when processing files.

    Can you proof that? To my knowledge YouTube always transcodes everything.

    By the way @.spider., if you got the board already or still about to, it has some bugs ASUS hasn't addressed yet but the community was able to find solutions.

     

    1.total black screen but PC still on yet you wont be able to restart using the power button
    2.whole pc restarts out of nowhere

     

    Experienced them myself and I thought I had a busted part.

    Don't fret cos its happening also to the Rog Crosshair VII X470
    those two are the really annoying stuff but there are solutions that the
    community has found and actually works.

    1.Turn off all CPU temp sensing apps that run at startup (leave just one you trust, I left my MSI afterburner to be the only one to start at boot)
    2.Do not run multiple temp sensing apps at once. Take time on each of them and only use them when needing to edit something.
    3.Avoid using the cpu temp feature in aura sync.

    4.CAM (NZXT app software) <--- this, use it only for lighting options and nzxt fan (if you are using nzxt fans) and on your stuff that runs only on cam then close it afterwards.
    5.AI Suite <--- this app is hell, causes a lot black magic hell on your pc, I personally uninstalled it along with the others in the community.

     

    Asus said that its a bug between them and the windows 10 but they still aren't really showing signs to address these though.

     

    been 3 weeks now since I did what the community suggested and all is fine now, I'm  leaving a link so you can read if you want.

    on page 8 there's a video but I do suggest to skim through from the beginning.

    I discovered that too.

    Absolutely horrible bug. So I returned that board and replaced it with a Gigabyte AORUS 7

    Yup, not shitting you, if you know Jesse Palacio a.k.a JP Modified, he built my rig and told me about it and tried I it for myself, originally had only 2 trident.z 3200mhz (8gb each) went to bios and wont go higher than 2400 as per board's given choices, the other speed choices were faded, so we did some manual OC and got 2666mhz with the two, a week later i added 2 more ram sticks (same specs of course) and the other choices were available so it ran at 3200 already, but my friend borrowed the 2 some time after because his was on rma coz apparently he did something with aura sync and it killed some of his LED in his ram. So yeah, back at 2 sticks at 2666mhz

    Had no problem running two sticks at 3200 MHz

    Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte all have similar bios fan control to Asus now, so that's a good thing

     

    Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 is the best if you disregard Asus. X370 K7 is the competitor of X470-F, though it might need BIOS update if you are using 2nd gen Ryzen and VRMs are slightly worse than the X470 G7, but still plenty overkill for Ryzen 7 and is cheaper.

     

    Asrock's BIOS is less intuitive, but thankfully the fan control isnt. The X370 Taichi is the best option (inferior to Gigabyte choices) because of the BIOS. X470 Taichi shares all but the chipset with the X370 Taichi, while the X470 Taichi Ultimate adds 10Gbit network and power/reset buttons on top of the standard Taichi. I wont recommend cheaper boards because they are worse than the X470-F

     

    MSI screwed up AMD platforms in the past so I rank them last. X470 and X370 Gaming M7 are their flagships, while the Gaming Pro Carbon is at the same level of X470-F

    Thank you, I'll read the Gigabyte's manual and order if everything looks fine.

    I suppose 3200MHz CL14 Ram shouldn't be any problem, right?

    which country of pcpartpicker should I use, or is there some other site I should look from?

     

    Any set budget?

    The name of the board should be sufficient. Preferably in the price range of the Asus board but I don't mind spending 100€ more if I get something much better.

     

    I definitely need good fan controls directly configurable in the UEFI since I don't like to run additional fan control software in windows.

     

  6. I am currently using an Asus X470-F Gaming but I am not that happy with it. So I am looking for an alternative.

     

    These are my problems:

    Firstly there's the sensor read out bug which can cause full system crashes.

    https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-ASUS-Prime-X470-Pro-Fan-headers-shutting-down-after-a-while-when-running-HWiNFO

     

    75°C CPU temperature causes 100% fan speed.

    You can use the Asus AI suite to increase the temperature but now you can not monitor temperature with other programs because of the above mentioned bug.

     

    Fans get randomly stuck at 100% speed.

    wait I forgot about AGESA 1.0.0.6 update. This unlocks the memory controller multiplier to go all the way up to 4000MHz. The problem is that the memory controller in Ryzens dont really work at 3600MHz or above, that's why motherboard manuals dont specify this as 'supported'.

    Do you think I can run 4 DIMMs at 3200 MHz of those?

    The official compatibility list states 2 DIMMs only.

    no, you need a motherboard with clock gen to reach anything higher than 3200. The X470-F doesnt have a clock gen.

     

    not at all, unless the new sticks are rated for lower frequencies and looser timings.

    Oh okay good to know so I could buy G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16GFX without loosing any speed?

    And 2 or 4 DIMMs will run probably run at 3200 MHz?

     

    Why is the manual stating 3466 MHz?

  9. Hello,

     

    I am planning to buy an ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING and pairing it with G.SKILL F4-3600C15D-16GTZ and Ryzen 2700x.

     

    Now the confusion starts... can I reach 3466 MHz with this combination of RAM and motherboard?

    Will the RAM speed drop if I upgrade to 32GB later and use 4 banks?

     

    Or do you have any other recommendations?
