This was a great recommendation! Using the settings and timings (some specific to my memory) from that video my system had no problems running stabile at 6000MHz.

Ok, but hear me out. Is this hex bit holder not objectively cooler? But LTT should sell a holder! I would have definitely bought one when I bought my screwdriver and extra bit sets (still waiting on my Feb. 10th wave).

It did post and the ram was set to 4800MHz by default.

That would make sense. I can even see on the specs on AMD's website listing 5200MHz being the fastest supported. Does Intel have support for faster speeds? Are they just ahead of CPU mfg's right now and support will come in later generations? Because Corsair makes up to 7200MHz memory right now.

The setup: Motherboard: Asus Tuf Gaming X670E-Plus Wifi Memory: Corsair Vengeance (2x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz CPU: Amd Ryzen 9 7900X The Problem: Via the support page for the motherboard the max speed of that same model of ram is 6000MHz. The ram I bought was 6400MHz, but other lower speed versions of the ram show up as supported. I'm about to start building the PC and don't have any other DDR5 memory. Question: Will the ram still work, but underclock to a lower speed? Or will it outright not work at all? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm having the same problem.

Did you honestly take information from 4chan as truth? 4chan is cancer.

This wccftech article: http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-am4-x370-motherboards-ces/ They don't really talk about them though.

It looks like the 1700X is the best option right now. But time and more benchmarks will tell.

Who here is switching to AMD this year once Ryzen is released? I have to be honest, I haven't even thought about going back to AMD for some time now (FX-8350 left me feeling lied to and cheated). The crazy part is I'm an AMD shareholder and didn't want to use their products. Lately I've made a lot of money in AMD stock so I feel I owe it to AMD to support them this year and with all of the benchmarks released so far I can say you don't even have to twist my arm. For the average to more serious gamer, what upgrade makes sense? (New MOBO and Ram will obviously need to be upgraded) This is my current setup: CPU: I3-4160 (A joke, I know) GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 What upgrade makes sense?

I'm honestly so attached to my Note 7 now that it's going to be really hard for me to return it. If they swap it out for a new one right away I would be ok with that, but like Matt said on the WAN show, if they try to replace it with a different phone, i'm just going to risk it. It has been amazing over the past two weeks and I have had literally zero problems with it. - I don't use quick charge - I haven't used the USB-C to Micro adapter - I mostly use an off-brand qi charger that trickle charges at 1A This makes me wonder if it is a certain combination of charging or charging cables/adapters that is causing these problems. To be clear, it's totally not worth the risk, and everybody should exchange them. While I don't know this for sure, I'm sure there have been other phones in the past that have had this or something similar happen but did not cause a huge controversy because they were not a a flagship phone. One thing that specifically comes to mind are when back in 2008 the old Sony PSP's that caught on fire because of bad batteries. http://www.techradar.com/news/consoles/gaming/handhelds/sony-psp-catches-fire-in-child-s-pocket-224283 I don't even think they thought about having a recall even when cases were reported. Either way, I'm just a salty Note 7 owner who really hates that this had to happen. And yes... this phone is the bomb. (hopefully not pun intended)

My DIY Testbench. The cable management is literally the worst but it works. I figured why pay for one of the Top Deck ones when I could just make one.

I have a dead i7-720Q. It doesn't produce any heat. Ok that's a lie. It hovers at about ambient temperatures during idle and load.

Haha, what I failed to mention is that the cooler came with a plastic back that covers far less of underside of the socket. I will check to see if I added too much or not enough. Thanks for pointing that out.

I will put a fan on the back of the socket tonight and overclock depending on the temps. There is a metal plate on the back of my board, do I keep that on there with the fan or should I remove it and add the fan? Also, could the recent application of thermal paste on the cpu be the cause of higher temps? I know some say thermal paste has a "break in period" or "bake time".
