@MageTank I just updated to AGESA 1.0.0.6 BIOS today with my B350M mortar. I got a bunch of new timings and sub timing settings, but I have no idea what should I even try to change. 3200MHz wouldn't post with those try me settings and xmp, even with CL20. 2933MHz works just fine with CL14 try me settings. I'm attaching photos of all the timings that I can change now, and hopefully you can tell me what should I change to try and run 3200MHz again.

My RAM can still only run on 2933MHz. There is also an option for 3066MHz (which wasn't there before), but it's also not working. I went again even to CL20 with 3200MHz, and it just wouldn't work. There are bunch of sub timings settings now available, but it just too many of those any I'm confused, so I just went back to 2933 CL14. Will have to be good enough for now. And about CPU OC I didn't see any improvements. Because it's summer and I have 28-32°C in my room every day, I decided to get back to 1,25V and 3,525GHz on all cores. I tried 1,25V at 3,7GHz but it would crash after 1 min of stress testing. 3,6GHz was working on 1,25V, but I went down to 3,525 because I really want it to be stable. So nothing changed for me sadly.

at stock or with OC? R7 1700 only gets up to 60°C for me when it's on stock. But as soon as I touch voltage, temps go up pretty fast.

Yeah I know synthetic load is not what I will be seeing during my normal workload. But that's how I test my CPU. Running aida64 cpu + fpu + cache for 30min and see what temp I get. If it gets to 75°C, I know that I will never go beyond that temperature with my daily work. If it shuts down at 95°C, then I would say 80°C is max that I want to see during those 30min of stress testing. I know offset was for X version only, but then people were confused if max temp is 75 or 95°C. Seems like real 95°C with fixed offset is the shutdown then. If I get under 80°C in aida, I will concider that a success, since it won't ever go beyond that while gaming and such. thanks for answers guys

Well my temps got to 75°C after stress testing it with aida64 at 3,8GHz, so I disabled OC for now because we have 32°C during the day and no AC in my room. Do you know at what temperature PC will shut down itself? Is it like 80°C? 85? 90? 100?

I'm trying to figure out what is max temperature for Ryzen CPUs. Using R7 1700, and just want to know how far should I go with the temps. Searching on web, gives me confusing results, since there was 20°C ofset for X series. Does anyone know what is max safe temperature for R7 1700?

Can't wait to get home and test my b350m mortar with agesa 1.0.0.6 that just arrived today on official website Hopefully I will be able to run my ram at 3200MHz instead of 2933. I don't think I will be able to get past 3,8GHz wall on my r7 1700 ... I tried 1,4V and 3,9GHz ... wouldn't boot. I'm pretty sure 3,8GHz is the limit of my CPU, and not even BIOS update can fix that. But will see

Too lazy to read everything lol 1,55GHz is some sort of bug ... it's usually fixed after clearing CMOS or BIOS update. Just for your info, my R7 1700 hit the wall at 3,8GHz.

it's your lucky day ... agesa 1.0.0.6 update for your motherboard was released like 1 hour ago

Maybe AGESA 1.0.0.7 will be solution for tREFI I'm currently using 2x8gb sticks of ram (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W) and I was also wondering to buy another 2 of them to have 32GB. Kinda hard to run hyper-V + 1 game in the background while plaiyng overwatch. But I'm just not sure on what frequency it would run then with 4 ram sticks. I'm pretty sure that I'm using single rank DIMMs. I will wait for more people to try and run 4 sticks to see what results they get. I don't want to end up running 32GB ram at 2133MHz lol

Well I tried CL20 on my RAM and it won't go over 2933MHz. Even if it's supported by QV to run at 3200MHz. Then again, I'm using Hynix and not samsung b-die. I noticed that agesa 1.0.0.6 was just released for b350m mortar artic .... hopefully they will also upload bios for b350m mortar today, so I can test it if it will run at 3200MHz now.

What is the exact part number of your RAM sticks? Picture of both sides of the RAM would be nice. I don't think your RAM is supported to run at that speed. F4-3200C14D-16GFX is from G.skill that should be able to run at 3200MHz. All other gskills should be running at 2666MHz or lower according to your motherboard QVL

Damn I feel bad for that 2697 ... would be amazing chip with those 12 cores. And I do understand that CPUs generally don't just die like that. I never had any problems with CPU that would just stop working or anything like that. But still, some of them can also simpy give out and stop working. That's most likely another way of "silicon lottery". Some CPUs will last for 20 years, and nother will fail after 10 for some weird reaon.

Well right now it seems like profit from mining is droping pretty fast. But new crypto currency might come out that will be again a lot more profitable. Or people could be buying GPUs and preparing for that day to come. I don't see GPU mining going away anytime soon, but I do hope that some people will start selling those used cards for cheap once mining will get even les profitable. I expect that to happen in next few months. But those huge farms ... those won't be selling GPUs anytime soon. They will just keep waiting for new currency to come out, mine the sh1t out of it, and move to another one.

Wait till then and ask here again after 1 year. Who knows what will be the sicuation after 1 year with those miners. We could either have tons of used GPUs for cheap on the market, and new ones back in stock with normal prices. Or mining could still be profitale and you won't be able to buy any GPU at all.

No idea about amazon, but CPU do get "bad" over time. It can take 5 years or 15 years for that to happen.

Well I don't think I would want to wait if PC isn't working. You can still get CMOS with current update, and then before you get it, they will release new update, so you can update it on your own. But if you wait a bit more, and let them provide you BIOS chip with agesa 1.0.0.6 update on it, you are less likely going to brick your motherboard because of updating it.

New BIOS update for AGESA 1.0.0.6 is beaing released on MSI motherboard. B350M mortar will gt it in the next few days. At least I hope so. And with that BIOS update, it will support even more RAMs.

while that's "kinda" true, people are geting 2933MHz on RAM with 4 sticks. But must be single rank ofc.

I'm using B350m mortar and R7 1700 ... didn't have any problems like that for now. First boot did take about 2min I think, but after that everything worked just fine.

I'm using windows defender for years, and I never had any problems.

I'm using it and I don't have any problems with it. The only thing bothering me, is how to mount PSU That was the hardest part and I think I didn't do it right ... but in he end it still works lol That 200mm fan in the front isn't exactly quiet for my ears, so I switched to be quiet fans. Almost dead silent and a lot of airflow. Check my signature to see what I'm using if you are interested. And about temps ... no problem here. Fresh air is getting pulled frm the front to the CPU cooler and the GPU itself, then I have 2 fans on the top to move the hot air from GPU out. It never goes beyond 78°C at max overclock, and I'm using max 50% fan speed on my GPU fans. It's great case I can recommend it. Just that PSU installation ... after 30min of trying to figure it out, I just screwed in like I think it should be, and threw those mounting brackets for PSU back in the box

The problem with i7 7700k thermals isn't with the cooler. The problem is inside the CPU. Intel used too much adhesive (black glue to hold IHS to the CPU PCB). And because there is so much adhesive, CPU core die can't directly touch to IHS. You could be lucky and get i7 7700k that isn't so bad, and you will run it at 5GHz at max 85°C. or you could also get i7 7700k that will have 85°C on stock even if you water cool it. Deliding is something you should be looking forward to.

I'm using LPX C16 3200MHz on B350M Mortar and it can only run on 2933MHz ... well at least it's on CL14, but still. Don't expect LPX to run on high frequency with Ryzen.

Well it's FE card with blower style cooler ... so nothing surprising that it reaches that temp. But 82°C is still fine ... it won't harm your PC, it will only cause throttling ---> underperforming. Yes you can get some fans blowing to the GPU, or just increase fan speed from your GPU.
