thanks poooooo!!!!

any suggestion on ram, 2400 or higher ?
a little long winded but good to listen.
tl:dw : DDR4-2400 is all you need... Get DDR4-3200 if you are overclocking and get the most out of your system.


this one just fast forward to see some chart comparison,
then you judge yourself if its worth getting more expensive ram.

Edit (510am): Bigger problem on hand now. Keep getting hit with random freezes and hang on windows 10 pro. BSOD appeared with the msg "Clock_Watchdog_Timeout" Any help?

Specs as below:

Ryzen 5 1600
Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3
16GB DDR4 2133mhz Ram (gonna upgrade this in the future)
Cooling it with a AIO water cooler (ID-Cooling 240L)

A few questions (my first AMD chip after more than 7 years of PC building)
1. What are the temperatures on average running on stock? Currently i'm averaging around 35-40C on stock @ idle - is this normal?
2. Anyone using the same motherboard recommend a few overclock settings?

Thank You!

1. Your idle temps seems okay.
2. I'm using asus so not sure is it the same. A simple Google to your issue seems to tell me your problem occur because of over-voltage to the cpu, which I find possible coz I read somewhere the default settings for gigabyte seems to supply voltage at the high side.

Try this. Download the latest bios, restart, reset bios settings to default, update bios, check stability and try oc again. Monitor temps and voltage with hwmonitor.

For my R5 1600, I'm running 1.275 vcore with 3.75GHz core clock. Everything else default. This is on stock fan. With aio, check if it is mounted correctly. Note the core package temp. You should hit 3.85GHz or higher with 1.375 vcore. Just don't exceed 1.4 vcore will so.

Googled returns different results, some suggest that it's due to windows, some due to the mobo. Currently it's not overclock and the bios is the latest but the problem persists.

Some results say it's psu problem. What psu are you using?

Have you try to reset your pc to factory state and see if the problem still persist?

Most parts are new (psu including) and before this was using kaby lake without issues so chances are slim it's psu tho. Reset and reinstall Windows with no change. Might try updating to the latest Windows 10 creators update, read that it might help.

I had PSU issue similar to what you have now.
PSU A run well on other rig but not the one originally pair with it.
Use a new PSU solved the problem and the PSU A still run well on other combo.

Cleared 3 hours of PRIME95 testing and 30mins of AIDA64.

Running on 3.9Ghz core clock, 1.38 vcore. Temperatures steady at around 65C. Quite pleased with the result. Trying to see if able to push to 4Ghz next!

Led ram is stable. Rgb ram is not. Even for Intel platform.

OC still wobbly, I do agree. But if you don't need such speed, 3.75 GHz Hexa-core is still pretty remarkable. 2933mhz ram too.

I will probably wait till everything get ironed out before banking my money on them...

Waiting for massive price cut from team blue as well hence won't rule out defecting back. :s22::crazy:
