Ripjaws v 2400 was able to run @ 2800 @ 14 14 14 1t on b350 strix b4. Should be able to have same mileage if not better on tomahawk which i feel slighty friendlier.

Also depends on ur luck with sillicon lottery

We have encountered an R5 1600 that can go to 4.0Ghz easily at 1.35V on Tomahawk. Another R5 1600 we had crashed at anything beyond 3.75Ghz also on Tomahawk

Both on stock Wraith Spire cooler

Agreed on d cpu mileage part sir. Have yet to try 6c chips but out of 1x r3 (1200), 2x r5 (1400 n 1500x) n 1x r7 (1700) none can do 4ghz easily. Benchable yes, on d 1200p n 1700 but nowhere near stable for 24/7 (my standard is p95 stable).

For Ryzen oc i personally think apart from cpu cooling vrm plays a very important role. Budget boards (b350) arent really meant for r7 imo, vrm can get prerty toasty due to no of phase on b350 boards. X370 is safer bet. Some more, memory mileage afe better too on d x370 boards.

1600
Asus b350m-a or another value tier msi x370 gaming plus motherboard, but of cause if you want value then the asus b350m-a
Ram can just get gskill trident Z rgb 3200mhz kit, the ones in sls selling non rgb ones arent that great imho.

thanks bro.. what about the hsf?

to get these from q10, amazon or tradepac (assuming still cheapest)?

also if prefer a x370 mobo by gigabyte or asus or asrock mobo.. out of the 3, which one has the best bios update rate? msi gfx gave me bad experience.. so dont really like msi

If ur lookin at r7 i'd strongly suggest x370. B350 vrm is kinda limited to take d beating from 8c16t chips. Else msi tomahawk is decent for 3200 depends on ram.

For hsf depends on what cpu you getting? 1600 and 1700 comes with the stock heatsink. Those chips are rated lower tdp. And its indeed much cooler than thier x counterparts. The heatsink is actually much decent than any of the blue teams out there. You should be able to overclock it moderately. But if you intend to pump in more than 1.4v, then why not invest on a proper AIO watercooler or a decent Cryorig H7?

If you really want x370 and bang for bucks. I think you can try x370 from asrock.* Not that nice looking but just decent.

Bios update, after holding so many boards brands, i personally see the same thing. Usually when there is a new bios update, they usually come out within a week between each branding. Especially ang new Agesa bios updates etc.

build for membership to the Ryzen club :)

Is this OK?

Is the PSU overkill? Can anyone recommend a PSU with an all black cable?

MSI X370 Gaming Pro+ Ryzen 1600
Phanteks P400 TGE red
Corsair RMx850 Gold Mod
Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200
MSI GTX1060 Gaming X (3Gb)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD

would like some future proofing hence the x370 plus it has more SATA ports/fan headers/etc. The GPU might come at a later date when the price stabilizes a bit.

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hitting 4ghz or not, really is silicon lottery. Some can hit 4ghz but the vcore needed is insane. So overclock carefully. If you really want 4ghz, 1600X have higher chance to do it plus since you're buying aio anyway, just get the 1600X instead.

Motherboard suggest getting Asus Prime B350-PLUS. Or X370-PRO. Depending which motherboard series you wanna get.

RAM wise, most of the RAM these days should be fine already as long as you update your motherboard to the latest BIOS. Corsair Vengeance series or G.Skill Ripjaw V or Trident Z series all work well up to 2933MHz no issue. For 3200MHz, suggest getting G.Skill Trident Z series or their Flare X (if you willing to pay the crazily expensive price)

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself :D using GAGT

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 + ASUS PRIME B350-Plus - 465 - Bizgram
Cryorig A40 ULT - 179 - Bizgram
G.Skill RipJawsV 3000MHz 16gb - 229 - Bizgram
Fractal Design Define C - 149 - Bizgram
