You did this to yourself.

Return it.
Get an Asrock Taichi.

>>59507759
What happened to Asus? Did they drop their quality along the line?

>>59507793
God only knows.
Ryzen has turned the world topsyturby right now.
>AMD is more efficient

It's a crazy time right now.

>>59507749
it could be false readings by software try checking in hwinfo64

Asus is the worst brand you can buy for Ryzen. Fucking problems everywhere. Their flagship is literally bricking with BIOS updates.

>>59507749
The BIOSes are complete shit right now for AM4. It might be a false positive.

Wait for next official BIOS update. If it's not resolved by then, RMA it.

Its not looking good

>>59507809
Yeah, I remember back in 2010, /g/ used to think Asrock was some knockoff brand that made complete shit and only inexperienced people were falling for it. Maybe /g/ was even right back then. Times change.

>>59507749
>you bought amd

Well that's just asking for it.

>>59507793
MSI apparently enabled full A-XMP support anyone got MSI board to test?

>>59507905
did you update UEFI recently? people complained a lot about asus B350 boards, i'd return it some got bricked

>>59507749
uninstall ryzen master and set default bios if you havent tried that already.

>>59508053
I was hitting those voltages before installing ryzen master.

Dosent look like I can return it. Gonna have to buy another board. Fuck you Asus.

>>59507809
asrock has been good ever since z97 and devils canyon

I have a budget of about £120. What new board should I get?

You dumb nigger that's voltage identifier, the request, VCOARE is what you are supplying.

dude just reset the default bios settings and use whatever o/c "genie" it has, ur fukt m8

>>59508221
Checked the actual Vcore as well in the bios and Ryzen master and the same value for v core comes out.

>>59508220
ASrock fatality looks nice
Gigabyte Gaming k4
and maybe msi tomohawk but I don't know anything about those they seem to be first to enable proper RAM OC on ryzen though

my extreme6 z97 still holds its ground, it even has an m.2 x4 port.

>>59508426
Yea i really liked the design of those boards, i really hope asrock will come up with a nice looking understated mobo for when the 7nm ryzen shrink comes out

Reading AMD hardware manufacturing threads is like being in a Bizarro World.

>Asrock is suddenly good

>>59508329
yes

>>59508573
XFX is good though, sapphire didn't get binnend chips for 480 they are just mediocre

>>59508573
ASrock has been good since 2010-2011 and Gigabyte and ASUS have been trash for a decade... it's like I'm surrounded by teenagers or something.

>>59508627
giggabit are still fine for hardware.
Their software is worlds worst shit though, including their uefi bios.

Don't use XMP on gigabyte, just set that shit manually.

The Prime B350 Plus is hot garbage. Go into BIOS and make sure your ASUS EZ tune bullshit setting is set to normal instead of optimal.
Make sure the core ratio is set to auto.

None of the overclocking utilities on my board even work, adjusting DRAM settings barely works, the automatic settings cause it to boot loop forever.
They're complete garbage boards.

Well there's your problem

MSI master race, i have 3,7GHz and [auto] on voltage which only is 1.1 during stress testing

>>59507809
ASSROCK has been good ever since they made that overclocking chink their head of something.

>>59508171
>>59508426
only the extreme4+ models

>>59508171
My p67 extreme 4 is still going strong with a 4.5ghz 2500k after almost 6 year. Really nothing to complain hardware wise, it's perfect. Maybe their software and bios features like the fan control are a little bit unpolished, but everything just werks at the end and I'm sure on new boards they perfected these little aspects

>>59508573
?
MSI have always been trash. I'm sure most of us remember their socket A boards with their ''quality'' fan power delivery, for example.

Its a good chip and has sped up my workloads a lot. It just seems like something along the line was a little rushed.

>>59510326
What did you have before, some bulldozer bullshit?

It's an awful chip compared to Intel's lineup.

>>59507749
stop using auto.

>>59510262
meh, it can't be worse than asus' am4 boards

new platform means teething issues. I'm sure all manufacturer's boards will eventually reach at least acceptable quality

>>59508573
Gigabyte is decent
Asus is shit--they love cutting corners
Has been meh, as far as Ryzen goes--their UEFI is terrible
Asrock is shit--the one time I recommended Asrock to someone, they ended up getting a motherboard with fault audio

MSI is bad. Got one z97 board looks nice and dandy, but no dual bios.
In a time, board stopped recognize xmp. Then started to fuck the bios. Suddenly no post. MSI said me you are on your own.
Brought new asrock z170. Solid. Less voltage needed. Decent ufi, dual bios.
So far it's one of the best boards I got fatality k6. Except for the shitty killer lan

It flat out doesn't work. Don't bother trying.
Both current BIOS versions 406 and 503 are equally broken.

>>59507809
Biostar is good now too.

I had 2 MSI "Military grade" mobos with issues, one died completely. My Biostar has been problem free for the last 5 years

>>59507908
asrock was a (the budget) division from Asus (Pegasus).
Don't know if they are still under the same holding, but now they're different companies as far as consumers are concerned.

>>59508573
>suddenly
Asus has been on decline for a long time.
We're on the acceptance stage now, asus fanboys had a good 5 years denial phase -- I was one of those fanboys myself.

>>59510481
>one of my imaginary friends had a problem with it.
the entire company should burn to the ground , their employees commit suicide, and every consumer around the world who had bought one of their products should send me a donation to atonne their sin of influencing my decision of rcommending it for him.

you're a good champ.

>>59507809
asrock has had balls to try for a long time. About 10 years ago they had both pcie and agp on the same board.
>both worked at same time
>even ati and nvidia sorta worked at same time

To pull off shit like that, you've got to be a company who isn't afraid to try. They got my respect then.

>>59511405
That's why AMD has my respect
first multi cores
first memory controllers
first over 1ghz barrier
better 64bit implementation
etc

>>59510884
Simple curiosity, how many times have you flashed the bios since you got it? I don't even how many releases there were since launch, but I do know that the latest for the ch vi is literally from today -- it isn't up yet, just went to check.

>>59511618
I've only seen 1 bios release, the beta bios 0902

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/

CROSSHAIR VI HERO BIOS 0902
Improve system stability

the fix was to stop the bricking, as that was the biggest concern

never had it brick.

to answer your question I got the board about a week ago and on my other computer had a flash drive already setup with the bios in it.. I did the bios flashback before even putting a cpu in the mobo socket and had the 0902 version from the get go & never had issues

and I did it that way because I know the nightmares people already had been having.

>>59511618
>>59511726
oh and forgot to add you got me excited with a new bios release

I'll let a bunch of people test it on overclock.net before I touch it though. there's multiple 200+ page threads with the mobo discussion & overclocking there

>>59511726
I watched the recommendations for flashing are starting to get really paranoid.

download rom into a freshly formatted usb stick
unplug from the wall
Clear cmos
plug it back in
insert usb drive
boot to bios
flash
leave it there until you are positively, absolutely sure that the windows/os desktop finished loading.
don't touch that usb stick
wait 30 more minutes for good measure.
shutdown, unplug, remove the flash drive
pray a bit
plug it back in
boot while praying.

that's the power of Asus brand new EZ flash™, convenience you can rely on.

>>59511910
watched/*noticed that

>>59511910
what the fuck
you just fat32 format a drive
download the bios file
name it C6H.CAP
put it in root directory of the flash drive
plug it in the bios USB on the back of mobo
plug the system in
hold the bios button down for 3 seconds
wait a few minutes & it'll stop blinking

>>59511910
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI-zGV8SLho

YOU DO NOT NEED RAM, CPU OR GPU TO DO BIOS FLASHBACK

ONLY STANDBY POWER

YOU DO NOT USE THE BIOS AND YOU DO NOT BOOT THE SYSTEM UP TO USE IT

YOU PLUG IN FLASH DRIVE INTO SPECIFIC BIOS USB PORT
YOU HOLD BIOS BUTTON
DONE.

http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/

and as said you name the bios file specific to your mobo

>>59511947
apart from the prayers there were no more exaggerations. That was the recs for flashing am4 bios from oc3d, I saw it elsewhere too. First time I saw anyone mentioning the need to clear cmos before a bios flash.

>>59512036
that's the extra paranoid tinfoiler version.

>>59512080
clarifying, loading optimized defaullts and clearing cmos are quite different steps.

>>59512036
wew lad
>>59512080
lol
yea I never cleared cmos until after

>>59507749

Is there an automatic overclocking button on the board thats pushed in?

>Assrock

Assrock was literally the budget spinoff company from Asus. Both companies are shit.

>>59512866
and your point?
Biostar used to be the top dog along with foxconn, circa 2000. While foxconn left for more verdant pastures biostar went to shit, and I just found out that ECS still exists (I really thought that they went bankrupt). Gigabyte had a shitty period, Msi too, both are redeemed in the public perception. And Asrock is definentely standing out with their am4 and have been on good terms with non-retards buying intel chipsets for a good while.

>>59507749
I have a skylake, and cpuz fucks that voltage to 1.5 also. Scared the shit out of me. Now it does some weird thing where it only reports.54v, even under stress tests.

>>59512866
and Lenovo was the spin-off of the joint venture for the budget division of the budget division (yeah twice a shit) for ibm pcs. Then they grew to buy IBM personal computers division for themselves.

It's as if the world never changes in your autistically tunneled mind.

>>59508573
My MSI and Sapphire 7770s both lasted years in crossfire before I killed one with user error, so I have no bone with either company

>>59510481
I've been trying out some motherboards lately, here is my quality ranking:

1. Gigabyte
2. MSI
3. ASRock

Unknown: ASUS (haven't tried enough)

Gigabyte is super solid IMO

However Ryzen is a complete shitshow right now, I don't even care what motherboard manufacturer you got with, you're gonna have problems

>>59513276
regarding AM4, specifically, as of now currently released boards, I'd say:
1. Asrock taichi
2. Gigabyte k7
3. Gigabyte gaming 5
4. Asus CH VI
5-8 top end b350 variants
9. MSI Titanium - mostly because lol at that price tag, and it wouldn't reach top 3 anyways (no external bclk).

>>59513370
Fuck off the msi one is that bad.

>>59513439
I'm assuming you were meaning to say isn't*
it's way more expensive than the others, including the ROG, and has no advantage in power delivery, no bclk which has been proven to be a nice feature to have, and apart from gimmicky kek-worthy supah ovahclockah dials up to 11 has nothing else that would merit another look.

>>59513522
I just bought a meme board.

>>59508664
That board was surprisingly stable though, from my experience. Sure better than my Asus a8n-sli board that gave me nothing but errors with the IDE and Sata controllers.

>>59513439
it isn't bad, its just the msi titanium is grossly overpriced for what it is. it uses the same vrm configuration found on the much cheaper msi carbon, which its vrm's (niko) are not anything spectacular compared to asrock, asus, and gigabyte offerings, and no bclk generator... and they want $300. its pretty much a $170 msi carbon but silver and a heat pipe to connecting the vrm heatsinks together.

in comparison the gigabyte k7 for $209 is a much better value. uses international rectifier vrms, heat pipes on the vrm heatsinks, and a bclk generator. the gaming 5 for $190 has everything the k7 has except a bclk generator and heat pipes to connect the heatsinks.

asus crosshair vi hero is overpriced. it should be similarly priced as the k7 since its nearly identical. iirc the only difference is two extra cpu phases on the hero which are pretty much pointless since ryzen cannot overclock high enough to use the extra amps / wattage. the six on the k7 are WAY more than enough for power, cooling, and efficiency.

overall the asrock tachi and fatality professional are the best imo. not overpriced, excellent hardware and build quality. k7 and gaming are a nice alternative. msi is just poopoo and asus overpriced like usual.

ASRock has the best mobos right now for AM4

For B350 I would get the AB350 Pro 4
For X370 I would get either the Killer (best bang for buck) or the Taichi (more expensive premium option)

The Pro 4 is especially great in that price point, has the best VRM power phase

>>59513739
oh yeah and both the gigabyte gaming 5 and k7 and asrock fatality pro both have dual network adapters as well. so you get both the default intel and either a e2500 killer on both gigabytes or a intel and aquantia aqc108 100/1000/2500/5000.

>>59508573
>>59510481

My asrock mobo has 9 years old of service running everyday, but even if 0.1% of people have issues that's enough to make stir nowadays, however the amount of failure rates is not indicative of a shitty company, but the quality of customer support such as warranty which ASUS has.

Now, a rushed launch is kinda shitty for everyone.

>>59513439
>>59513592
MSI turned the work they should've done before they took off for holidays into marketing speech.
