Hi Im new to the forums so apologies as i get my bearings. I purchased an MSI Crosshair 17 B12U and after a couple of months i swapped the memory for 32GB RAM and added new thermal paste on the CPU and GPU with Arctic MX6. Im a complete novice so i had help doing the teardown with a technician. So i noticed the pink pads on the memory chips and some of them look torn and possibly worn out. So with that in mind, on the next repaste, if i want to replace the thermal pads, what size and thickness would i need? And furthermore, what brand of thermal pads can anyone recommend that's really effective in cooling the laptop? EDIT Judging by the picture the pads look a quite puffy but i can't tell what mm they are and if they are all the same size. I live in Southern Africa so heat management is a bit of an issue during the summers. Ive attached the best picture i have for reference. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated thanks

alright, so i have that monitory i put on in the title and im having a problem with the crosshair. I cant seem to figure out how to change the size of the prebuilt, already built in crosshair. i've clicked every button on the display menu thing but nothing has changed the size or given me a option to do so. it just stays 4.5x4.5 in. please help.

I currently have a very terrible motherboard. It is the AsRock Steel Legend B450M and while it works, it has many limitations and I seem to have many power issues (USB instability, unplugging mouse will cause internet/USB Devices to reset). This was never a board purchased for daily driver though and it became my daily driver after getting a decent deal on 1700x awhile back. With that little bit of background, I have found it time to put in it's place a daily driver board that I can rely on for better memory support and later on a 5900x (Doubtful a 5950x but it could be possible). I have narrowed it down to either Asus Strix X570-E or ROG Crosshair Viii Hero (or the new Dark Hero due to the fanless design). I do have my preferences such as Wi-Fi 6 and PCI-E 4.0 with plenty of lanes. Though I will be utilizing the 2.5Gb networking, I like having the option for the Wi-Fi built right in plus the Bluetooth. I intend to run an Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070/3080(3080 more than likely), Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2, and 2 NVME Storage solutions. I already have a Sabrent 4.0 1TB and will choose a 2TB in the future for Secondary Games/App/Content. I really don't like not having the choice and a lot of PCIE 4.0 drive are approaching 3.0 prices so while I do not need the speed all the time I will take it if I can get it. So that takes care of the necessities for a board and from my research both the Strix and Crosshair should fit this without holding me back. I think what is really giving me uncertainty here, which maybe some of you can help with, is just knowing I have not purchased close to the best I can buy. It really sounds silly but I don't need the Formula but the [Dark] Hero carries that Crosshair name that is linked to that premium feeling with AMD and the Hero branding I had on my LGA 1151 MAXIMUS VIII HERO. However, from GPUs I don't consider Strix to be a low quality name either. The Strix has enough of the troubleshooting features that I used the most on the Maximus Hero, such as Q-Code. From my research the Strix and Crosshair will both have Bios Flashback and the Q-Code and I don't think I really need the retry, start, and reset buttons on the Crosshair. I rarely used them on the Maximus. But I need help confirming they really wouldn't be missed. I don't actually do much overclocking, especially manual. However, I just wanna know the board will handle what I throw at it. To date, I have only tried to mess with memory and used AMD Ryzen Master to try some small overclocks. This would be about the level of overclocking I really get into though maybe pushing Ryzen Master a bit further since I would have a more stable board and CPU. From watching Buildzoid's breakdowns I am fairly confident the Crosshair Hero wouldn't offer me much over what the Strix would...but again, I need some help teaching/convincing me that I would be able to do most overclocking on the Strix that I would on the Hero. Strix x570-E:~$300 Crosshair Viii Hero: ~$380 Crosshair Viii Dark Hero: ~$400 I understand there can be better prices and such with other brands like Gigabyte, but I am looking to stay with Asus. Loved my Crosshair Viii Hero and all the ports and such and looking to do be with Asus again after this crapshot that was AsRock. I feel I know the answer, but would the fanless design really be that much more preferred on the Dark Hero if I can get it for $20 more? Or is having active cooling on the board fine? I know what a bother that was to a lot of people when active cooling was announced. The other considering I have is that I can't afford to upgrade both Motherboard and CPU at the same time right now. Motherboard has to be first through due to the issues, I am thinking using the Dark Hero may be an issue with no official support for first gen Ryzen CPUs. I know that is all a lot of detail but I appreciate anyone's thoughtful responses on whether I should be so concerned about having that Crosshair Hero board or I should just work on getting over not having that next board up, saving $80, and grabbing the Strix E. Thanks for helping me make a decision.

Just upgraded to the above, seeing crashes in Cyberpunk, COD Cold War and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It would appear the BIOS version 3003 is not at all ready for prime time. Is anyone else having these issues? Not sure if it's the board or the chip itself causing issues. Looking to increase awareness. Things I've tried to fix the issue: - Disable SMT - Re-install windows (Twice) - Reset CMOS - Re-flash BIOS

Hi everyone, my specs are- Crosshair VI Hero WiFi Ryzen 2700X TridentZ 2×8GB 3600mhz C17 Gigabyte GTX 1070 Evga Supernova G3 650w Custom water cooling or Wraith Prism cooler 970 Evo 1TB NVMe/ 240GB Zotac SATA SSD/ 2× 2TB Seagate & WD HDDs What I did- Removed the side panel, tried removing the SSD off m.2 slot as this board only supports single m.2 slot but I didn't had the right screwdriver for this screw type so I left it and took out the GPU, cleaned it and put it back. Didn't remove any cables other than PCIe power connector, plugged in power cable and turned it on but it didn't work. For reference, this is what I'm facing- https://youtu.be/MiUaPt-2504 RGB lights on the motherboard still work as soon as I turn PSU on, also the green light which says CPU_Ready is working. Also there's no Error code on mobo, so I don't think it's related to BIOS. Things I tried- 1- Removed everything, only left 24pin+8pin connector from PSU to Mobo. 2- BIOS flashbacks to latest versions and few older versions. 3- Removed the watercooling and switched to Air cooler. 4- Tried using different PSU (Corsair VS550) 5- Took the mobo & PSU off the cabinet, placed on cardboard to check if it can be a grounding issue. 6- Tried using few other tricks from youtube (Heating mobo with hairdryer, keep trying to start after PSU on/off) Nothing worked so far, it's not related to BIOS I think as there's no error code, nothing spins not even a single fan, the cpu ready light is working, is there anything else I can try? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone, I need help. My Ryzen 1700X and Asus Crosshair Hero arrived just now but after unwrapping the outside postage bag I noticed that one corner of the motherboard box was really damp. Like someone dropped liquid on it or it fell on water or something like that. Now, I'm well aware of Linus' endeavours with boards and water (lol) and I know if well dried out boards will still work like nothing happened but this being a new board and all that what would you guys do, would you return it ?? Doesn't look like the water got through to the motherboard itself, it's pretty dry inside of the box (see pics 3 and 4), and the cardboard box itself is quite thick, dense and hard but still, being new hardware and all that should I return it ?? I called the place where I got it from and they left the decision to return it entirely up to me. I'm torn. I really wanna crack on and start the build but on the other end I'm worried if the board have been affected. PS - I apologise If I posted this in the wrong place. This is my first thread on the forum.

So my Ryzen system just randomly freezes in Windows. The qcode read out does not show a crash, but I can't do anything but reset the system at this point. I am running a C6H with the 5704 beta bios. Any ideas what could cause this?

Hi everyone i'm just throwing this up as hopefully a short and easy to understand guide to p state overclocking on the crosshair vi hero motherboard (AM4/Ryzen). First of all don't be turned away if you don't have the crosshair! Most of this guide features the AMD common bios which should be common across motherboards (it is just up to your board manufacturer which options to make available in their BIOS). Why should you want to do this? Well as you may has noticed if you have overclocked your powerful new ryzen cpu that it no longer downvolts/downclocks when idle . This is because this is a fixed all core overclock. Which while good for performance, it is bad for: the cpu's lifespan, excess heat generation when idle and your electricty bill. A power state or "p state" overclock however will not only enable you to overclock above stock speeds but also step back down when idle (similar to Intel's speedstepping). Crosshair specific info: - This should be working on any BIOS revision later than and including 1002 (which at the time of writing is 1002, 0079, 0081, 0082 and 0083) - Update 0081 and later should be working with custom BCLK values (though i personally haven't tested this yet), 1002 must use default BCLK. As above i'm using the crosshair vi hero motherboard and BIOS revision 0082 but this should be fairly similar across manufacturers: Step 1: Always best to start with a clean slate so head into the bios and hit "load optimised defaults" Step 2: Head to the extreme tweaker screen and check everything is back to default and most importantly that the cpu core ratio is on "auto" Step 3: Head to the advanced tab and open the AMD common bios specification or "AMD CBS" for me Step 4: Next open "Zen Common Options" Step 5: Head down to "Custom Core Pstates" As you can see I left all above options on auto but you might want to force enable "Global C-State Control" Step 6: Accept the terms (this is no more dangerous than a fixed all core overclock so don't worry) Step 7: Pstate0 will be set to auto by default, change this to custom Step 8: Setting Pstate0 to custom reveals 5 boxes, 3 of which can be changed by the user and the top 2 greyed out boxes show the results. It gets a little complicated here because we are using hexadecimals. we are going to try a 3.9GHz overclock in this guide. Change Pstate0 FID to "9C", do not touch DID or VID, DID is the divisor there is no need to change this and VID is the voltage. We could change VID but at the moment anything different from the default VID breaks it and it will boost 100% of the time. (3A on my 1700 - if this is different for you please use YOUR default value NOT mine) I will add a table to calculate your FID values soon TM File is now attached: Ryzen Hex Values.xlsx Note: Voltage is in micro volts so that is 1.187500V and not 1187500V (Take a note of this number btw it will help later for the offset) LEAVE ALL OTHER P STATES ON "Auto" Step 9: Head back to the extreme tweaker tab because we now need to set the voltage offset. Change the CPU Core Voltage to "Offset mode" and positive "+" Now from your manual OC which you have probably dont prior to this you will know what voltage you need to be stable at 3.9GHz, for me this is 1.3375V but its always good to be a little generous when using offset instead of manual so i'm going to allow 1.35V maximum. To calculate your offset voltage take the desired value and subtract the voltage value that you noted down in the previous step. 1.35V - 1.1875V = 0.16250V Note: My RAM speed and RAM voltage have defaulted to 2133 and auto, leave these as they are and redo your RAM overclock once you are happy with what we are focusing on here. Step 10 (Optional): Enter "Extreme Tweaker\External Digi+ Power Control" and give the CPU voltage and SOC voltage some load line calibration to reduce V droop, personally I like level 2. Although this step is entirely optional! Step 11: Boot! Yeah we aren't done yet sorry Change your Power plan to "high performance" (May also work for AMD Ryzen Balanced plan - untested) or "Ryzen Balanced" (now confirmed to be working) and edit the plan -> change advanced power settings -> expand "Processor Power Management" -> expand "Minimum Processor State" -> set this at 20% Change Log: 20/04/17 - Release 20/04/17 - Added Hex Value Calculator 17/05/17 - Minor Text Changes & Confirmation of Ryzen Balanced Plan

Hi Guys, just wondering has anyone installed the new EK monoblock for the Cross hair 6? Is there anything to look out for? I delayed installing my AM4 water cooler as there were so many issues and then EK released their Monoblock which I thought might be a better bet. Let me know?

How do I lower the RPM of a fan plugged into the pump header? It's an Industrial Noctua fan that's just running at 3000rpm by default, Christ it's irritating. I've been told you can configure an AIO/Pump Header into a normal Fan Header, or at least you can control the RPM through it since it's a 4 pin input. Question is how? I am using a Crosshair Hero IV AM4 Motherboard.

Hi guys! I just bought the ROG crosshair 6 hero and i am having a problem with vcore readings. I have the cpu set at 38 multiplier on a manualy fixed 1.25 volts in the bios. The problem i am having is that the v core reading on hw monitor, cpu z, cam software shows only 0.6-0.62 volts on vcore (under idle and under load). Core vddp shows the 1.25v i set in the bios. The system is stable running occt for 2h. Is there any c6h owner here to tell me is this only a false reading or is this reading coming from another sensor

I have an asus crosshair VI hero with an amd ryzen 7 1700 and under load the voltage actually goes down. So does performance. Now this is my second crosshair board in this build, the smoke escaped the first one i guess. But it wont handle an overclock over 3.65ghz on my ryzen. Yes i realize that can come down to losing the silicone lottery. But this cpu actually was doing 3.91 in my gigabyte build that is awaiting the rest of the water cooling stuff and me to find the time. I swapped Cpu's when i had ram issues with the first asus board. I tinkered with load line calibration per one of the guides online and even though it tightened down the voltage drop, it still drops. I set it from offset to manual and it still dropped rather then raised. Then the performance is degraded on the CPU, my benchmarks are dropping. Any insight into whats going on? tl/dr asus crosshair VI with amd cpu undervolting under load. included video.

One of my buddies is building a PC. He is completely new to it and I only have one PC under my belt, so I do not want to mislead him. If he is getting the ASUS Crosshair VI Hero and the G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB(2x8gb) DDR4-3000 memory, will he have issues? The config menu for the Crosshair VI Hero has the following memory frequencies listed: DDR4-2133 / 2400 / 2666 / 3200. Does this makes the 3000 memory kit unusable and/or less efficient? Thank you in advance for your help. PcPartPicker Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2GRnxY

Hey everyone, after a long time, i finally upgraded my PC again and was super happy to try it out. But then the shock: after assembling everything i couldn't get the system to post. Qcode: 0d. Nothing seems to fix this, resetting cmos, updating to the lastest bios via the flash function... I tried everything and im really upset now, was looking forward to just putting everything together and then gaming, the way it was with my intel machine ... Man this sucks Ryzen 7 1700x Asus Crosshair Hero VI WIFI 32GB Trident Z RGB Zotac GTX 1080ti AMP Extreme

Sort of a noob question, but since ASUS Mobo Drivers are so confusing. I'm planning on getting the Crosshair VI HERO to replace my Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5. Now I look at the Drivers section for the Crosshair VI Mobo Drivers. I notice some of the same Driver have multiple ones. Which should I even download ? Do I just download the latest and forget the rest ? Like example, the USB. Version 1.16.47.2 2017/06/02 Asmedia USB Driver Version 1.16.38.1 Version 1.16.38.12017/02/28 Asmedia USB3.1/3.0 Driver V1.16.38.1 for Win7 64bit &Windows 10 64-bit. Then there's the Chipset Version 9.0.000.8 2017/06/14 AMD Chipset Driver AMD Chipset Driver V9.0.000.8 for Windows 10 64-bit.(RS2) Version 9.0.000.8 2017/03/09 AMD Chipset Driver V9.0.000.8 for Win7 64bit &Windows 10 64-bit. For the Audio I would need both right ? If I want those " gaming mode " and the EQ to play around with ? For my Gigabyte board I would need both Realtek and Sound Blaster. Realtek itself will work but I wouldn't have the EQ feature and those " enhancing " features. Another noob question, I never actually Flash BIOS before, my Gigabyte board was flashed by the Retailer I've asked them to do it for me. ( Which they did it in a risky way honestly, they used the Gigabyte App to do it instead of USB ) So If I wanted to use USB Drive to Flash my BIOS, I would need to format it into a FAT32 format right ? I know how to boot from USB Drive etc, but I'm uncertain about the format of the USB Drive I need to do the flashing since almost no one ever mention it online, till only recently I came across one guide telling me that I need to format it into FAT32.

hay, sorry if i don't do this form stuff properly, and also excuse me for the misspells that i'm gonna make. i have a problem with the rgb in my system. i recently build a pc on my one with the following parts: asus crosshair vi hero 32 gig G.skill trindent z rgb ram amd ryzen 7 1700x croshair hydro series h100i v2 extreme croshair rm750x and 2 ledstrips that are connected to the motherboard all of this inside a phanteks enthoo evolv tempered glass case when i was done building everything workt fine. all rgb on the motherboard and the ledstrips worked fine. after a lot of driver instal ect, thhe pc kinda glichted out so i turned if of and then turnt the switch of the power supply off and drained the system of power. then i turned it on again only to find out that everything was still working execpt the rgb on the motherboard and the strips. my g skill ram still works and can still be configd in the aura app. in the aura app he does see thhe strips and mothherboard lights, but they just don't work. i tried a lot what i found on the internet about aura. turnt it off and drained the system 30 times of not more. i have the latest bios version and even hhave flash it 2 times. and in the bios the rgb is enabled. kan somebody please help? did my motherboard just break or..? idk what to do anymore.. thanks in advance.

Hello. As the title states, is it worth waiting for the extreme version of the hero board? I know the extreme board is currently not out but there is a video out on it which I have watched but I am unsure if it is worth it and that is why I'm asking you guys. I am planning on using the 1800X with the Celsius S36. Don't know what else to say except thank you in advance for your help.

New build: crosshair vi hero, r5 1600x, hyper 212 evo, crucial elite ddr4 ram (2×8gb), xfx rx 480 8gb, rm550x. When I turn on power supply, the board lights up, cpu ready light is green, no q-codes and the start button glows red. When I press the start button however, nothing happens. I have tried to short the power connector for the front panel in case the on board start button is somehow faulty but this doesn't work either. All of the components have worked in my previous build except for the cpu and motherboard which are brand new. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help get something to happen!

Hi guys good day. Im having a bit of trouble making my pc post. I just finished the build specs will be below. Everything is hooked up correctly as far as video tutorials go, when click the power button it boots but nothing shows on monitor and after a couple second, like 30secs, it shuts down by itself but before that freezes at qcode 55 for like 5secs then briefly shows an 8 for like a milisecond (not 08 just ? then shuts down. I have looked at code 55 and it says "memory not installed" but I've tried different dimms, used one stick, use both sticks switch it around all sorts but still nothing. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Hello, was wondering if this combo would work. Especially if the included wraith prism would light up. For anyone who says get another board, I can get this board new for around $150 in my country, which imo is a great deal. As the prism seems to be addressable rgb and I can't find any 3pin headers on that mobo. So, is it fine or should I look for another mobo? If so, what would you recommend for around $150? Thanks for all advice, as this will be my second ever build and my first higher end one.
