    Next time, if there is a next time, I won't open anything that's a prize. My mistake.

    The amount of scripts and trackers that site runs is baffling. I use NoScript in Firefox on Windows and Linux and they have like 25 scripts and trackers. This site has 6 things and only what's needed for the site to function. I hope that it stays that way. If I were to log in to my OCN, I was only allowing the site and its host. But I have no reason to log in there anymore anyway because this site is so great.

    I'm a big fan of the Horizon series of games but not into the sim Motorsports series. Here's hoping Horizon 6 isn't like this when it comes out in a few years.

    Okay so a few things about the keyboard. I opened it up and broke it's seal so technically it's not NIB, because I wanted to test the lighting and test every individual key to make sure the board works fine as I don't want to send anyone here a defective product. Anyway, it passed with flying colors. Only took around 5 minutes to test it. I also bought and will include a keycap puller and some blue O-Rings in the box as this board really needs them, the keycaps bottom out and hit the metal plate otherwise, so you'll also have a project to do with it!

    Keyboard in hand now

    What about ASRock Taichi?
  7. neurotix
    Yeah Armory Crate is terribad and forced on you if you have any interest in RGB control, you have to use their Aura Creator app unless you have another solution like a fan/rgb controller box.

    You could try replacing the motherboard to another brand maybe. Or just deal with the reboots when they happen, if they happen like once a month or something.

    Yeah the CO is what I meant by your overclock as that's essentially what it does. Trying to run manual 5.6GHz might work better, at least for gaming, but you might have issues cooling it and with multi thread loads. Did you try -15 CO like I suggested or no?

    Welcome to all the new members! I'm that guy who talks too much and makes walls of text! I'm pretty good at graphic design, I use GIMP in Linux, I'm also a Linux advocate, and I've contributed a lot to our folding @home and hwbot teams. If you're interested in it, see the links in my sig!

    Here's all of my clicky keyboards I've built compared to Kailh clone MX Blues which should be mostly identical sounding to Cherry MX Blues. Which one do you guys like best? Let's try to keep this thread going!

    Somehow I missed this. That's a fine looking keyboard man! Nice desk setup too.

    When Zen 3 launched, the first BIOSes for the Crosshair VIII Hero had a bug in them with NVMe drives that led to silent corruption of data and your Windows install. So everyone had to reinstall Windows once a fix was out. Hurricane, you said it was fine for weeks with your RAM OC and CO OC. Maybe you set your OC to that and just run it, accepting that once in a blue moon it will crash? When I ran an FX-8350 in 2012, I was running it at 5ghz and it wouldn't pass stress tests but was otherwise totally stable in games and for benching- however once a month or so I'd come back to it to find it hard locked - mouse cursor not moving and a frozen screen. Usually when it was idle. I just accepted that once in a while it was going to do that, and there was really nothing I could do about it if I wanted that OC. So I dealt with it knowing that overclocking is running something out of spec, and a part of that is accepting that there might be issues like I had, and like you are having.

    Here's the keyboard in action. I forgot I had this and made it some time ago for another thread. This is NOT the keyboard prize, this is our own identical model.

    No, hurricane you're wrong. I have my own issues with AMD and with my 7900X3D. I am fairly certain I explained them both before while you were posting here. I'll go over it again. Basically, when I first got the setup it was awesome: I could set Windows Power Plan to Balanced and the V-Cache CCD would be prioritized, the chipset installer modifies this power plan and you need to have that one selected and a few other things for V-Cache to work in games.With PBO that 1st CCD with V-cache has no problems hitting 5150MHz, its' maximum. For benching or games that prefer frequency over V-Cache, I was able to switch to Windows High Perfomance Power Plan and my 2nd CCD would boost to 5650MHz. It would bounce around between cores and 5450-5650 is what I'd see running 3dmark11, some cores would be at 5500MHz while others were lower or higher. So it was great because I was getting the best of both worlds right? Balanced Power Plan for Gaming and V-Cache, High Performance power plan for benching or games that like raw frequency. Then about a month after I had it, the 2nd CCD stopped boosting to 5650MHz, it would not go over 5100MHz almost like it was being limited by software or by the board so it was limited to the V-Cache CCD speeds. A few months later a BIOS update fixed it, this was in April I think, but it only lasted a few weeks and ever since, my 2nd CCD won't boost past ~5200MHz in any load. The issue persists now. The reason I don't complain about it is that I'm playing the long game and being patient to see if it eventually gets permanently fixed. It is still fantastic for gaming, I just can't bench on it. So far there's been improvements with each BIOS. With them adding support for 24GB modules, I have those and am extremely happy with my 7600MHz RAM overclock. Additionally, up until AGESA 1.0.0.8 recently, my POST times were reallllllyyyy long. It would hang on 15 with a yellow LED lit under it for about 45 seconds (training RAM). Since I main Linux as my OS and have a dual boot of Win10 and Linux, sometimes I reboot a lot and that wait time was just awful, it took like a full minute to reboot between OSes. However, now that has changed and it POSTs in about 5-10 seconds, I haven't timed it. So that's a pretty huge fix. Unfortunately with these bleeding edge AMD processors and chipsets, it takes time for all issues to be resolved. I can say that with this launch, at least when I got my setup (March I think?) these teething issues haven't been nearly as bad as when I got a Crosshair VIII Hero back in 2019 with a 3900x. The bios had no color coding for voltages, and my boot time was like a minute and a half to get to the OS login screen. It was all eventually fixed. So I'm hopeful they will fix my 2nd CCD boosting issue this round. I do understand in your situation you basically have something that's unusable, and you can't figure out why. Let me tell you I went through Asus support for my CCD boosting issue and they were useless. I went to AMD and they had me try a bunch of things and basically blamed 3rd party software like hwinfo64, RivaTuner, and Armory Crate that I NEED to have installed for my motherboards RGB to work- Aura Creator will not work without the Armory Crate suite, and I have a full RGB rig so yeah that's kind of important. For the boost issue I've tried flashing bios through the UEFI as well as USB BIOS flashback on a flash stick with the system off, I've tried beta bios, I've tried everything I can possibly think of to fix the boost issue and nothing has worked. So I know the frustration and despair you are probably feeling, and feeling ripped off by AMD, and so on because your rig won't work and you don't know why and can't fix it.

    Sorry this is happening to you. Ryzen has been great to me with a 3900x, 5900x and now a 7900X3D. If you're going to sell it, then please don't drag us down here with the constant complaining and multiple "amd beta tester" comments.
  17. neurotix
    That's what I've been suggesting, raise CO values from -22 to -15 but he hasn't said if he tried that or not yet.

    Putting up a brand new keyboard for this month, it's really nice. We have one ourselves. It is the Rosewill K85 mechanical keyboard, full programmable RGB lighting, it also lights up on the sides, and comes with clone blue MX switches made by Kailh. It is super clicky. ABS keycaps though unfortunately, as opposed to PBT. Since the RGB lighting is in the switch (I think), this would be a very good board to put PBT pudding keycaps or maybe clear keycaps on and some O-Rings. Good luck in the random draw guys!

    Good luck, hope you get something working...

    On a different topic: No AGESA 1.1 yet for my board, the Asus ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming Wifi. There's a testing version of it, I thought I would share this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19gqxeeAdUmkwgE0EvH4MlJ7meeDbEHYP-FHYW-PMyOk/htmlview# This has basically every BIOS for Zen 4 that's been released including old ones with voltage control and ratio overclocking for X3D chips, as well as BIOS without the 1.3v SoC restriction. My mobo has the ability to downgrade BIOS using the regular EZ Flash tool in the BIOS, no need to put it on a thumb drive and rename it for USB BIOS flashback. Dunno if you guys with Aorus boards can do the same. Just figured I'd share, hope this helps.

    It's unfortunate you can't figure it out; did you try everything we suggested? Either running it totally at stock, or do your RAM OC but back off on curve optimizer values?
  22. neurotix
    @Hurricane28 You run CO at -22 right? And no PBO? I'd suggest trying raising (actually lowering) your CO values to -15 or something and applying the RAM OC you have that is tested stable and see if maybe the CO is the problem. If you get random freezes or reboots it could be due to the processor OC possibly.
  23. neurotix
    QFT Process of elimination.

    Bios not available for my board yet. Thanks for the heads up about those security features and turning off virtualization. If I run into the same problem I'll know how to fix it.
