Sanity check - R7-2700X, 470Prime + TridentZ

Been away from current gear for too long. Picked up an Asus Prime X470 Pro on the bay for £125 and threw some bits at it. A little play in the bios later and I have this to show for it. Look ok?

Looks good, Good memory speed, Good core clock, All good

Just run lots of stability tests to make sure it's 100% stable.

Rock solid so far, Prime95, Cinebench, full PCMark suite, full Sisoft Sandra suite. 2 bugs have shown up on the Asus side, the memory has to be in Channel 2 or it will fail to boot at anything over 2400 and the Asus AI Suite has shown itself to be able to lock the system if you try to change the fan parameters via that silly Q app they have. I have since shifted control to an Aquaero 6 and will feed it sensor info from HWInfo.

Yeah don't use AI Suite, Asus make great hardware but their software is some of the worst I've ever used.

 

[RobM]

yup that looks very good

Turbo seems to be working ok

Since the Vega's have come down to reasonable pricing, I was able to pick up one off the bay for a sub 400 price. Mr EK then told me about his new Velocity block so want overtook need and it and a EK FC Vega block arriving in the next week or so to complete an all AMD rig
