I got the cl 14 trident Z's with the samsung ic's. Should be fun shaking these boards down , planning on having the 1800X under water - 480 mm radiator.
This was a quick picture I took with my phone. Had limited time to get things together. The slightly better quality pic I had cut out the Digitalwolf paper... and yes my hand writing sucks.. no I'm not a doctor.
Currently I'm just running on the air cooler that comes with the 1700 (my loop is just hanging out lol). Going to order a new block soon(tm) so not really doing anything over clock wise at the moment.
I have a Z170 Titanium with the EK Monoblock (so I've always loved the looks)... it was a toss up between the CH6 and this. Came down to the fact I actually saw this in stock... my CH6 pre-orders never attempted to ship from any online retailer.
I saw EK had AM4 blocks on sale.. even shipping from them ends up being cheaper than buying it from my normal "in stock" source that charges crazy shipping prices. So I went ahead and ordered a block off the EK site.
Hopefully they eventually make a Monoblock for the X370 Titanium.
Initial impressions? The board takes ages to boot --once it's up it seems to be totally fine, but man, it takes its time. Also, the RAM for whatever reason won't go past 2137--which is annoying. Setting XMP [2933] causes the machine to fail to post.
Still tweaking with some OC settings as what I have now is the quick and dirty but stable result. So far, my biggest complaint is the RAM issue. Hopefully it can be ironed out in the short term.
I will have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for delivery in Belgium. Did you download the latest chipsetdrivers for x370 from amd website?
Link underneath might come in handy though

I know someone with this board and he had the same experience with the Samsung 960 Pro NVME drive, he changed it to another M.2 drive and boot time was fine. So it looks like either a bios compatibility issue with the device or Samsung need to update their firmware. Either way I'd send a ticket to MSI and let the know of that and also all RAM issue your experiencing.
On another point, it has been reported the PCI=E slot 2 with one graphics card installed is only running at 8x........can you confirm this????? If so then more reason to contact MSI and let them know this as well and push them for a bios fix.
I have this board and a 1700 sitting on the floor atm waiting to be set up, I'll do it later today and once things are up and running I'll let peeps know what issue I'm having........I plan on waiting a month or two to see how bios matures and how quick MSI can get fixes out and then I may buy the Asus Crosshair VI ROG if it proves to be the better offering.
For the boot time.. yes watching this Titanium boot is a good time to read a book. I am using the U.2 connector... I could use an adapter for M2_2 but that slot is x4 2.0 as opposed to the direct to cpu x4 3.0 of M2_1 or U.2.
So as the one reply suggests... if it's an issue with that slot I guess I'll just deal with it for now.
I'm running my ram @ 3200 without issue... I just used the timings suggested in one of the Asus CH6 threads and manually set everything. The only SS memory kit I had laying around was one of my older G.Skill kits that I have to use manual settings with anyway. (it's xmp frequency is well beyond anything Ryzen is doing atm).
Well i just ordered my titanium. Newegg says in stock through gigga. I will be modding my heatkiller to mount for now. Anyone have a clue how long until EK's monoblocks will be available? Site says they are coming but thats it so far. Anyone having the asus bricking issues so far? Or is the board pretty safe so far.
Hi all, I just bought the X370 Titanium at Microcenter ($259 last in stock!), and will pair it with a 1700. I was going to buy a 960 M.2 drive until I read the slow boot issues here. Can anyone confirm the boot is faster with other drives? How about with regular sata SSD? Or with an Intel 700 Pcie? I have an Intel 700 pcie from my other system that I may eventually transfer to the Ryzen build as well.

Just want to add that the M.2s were also slower on z170(22sec) for me at launch and faster on the older x99(14 sec). Was also reflected on some initial reviews.
How many seconds is your post time? Or your windows last bios time?
This morning said in stockthrough the other ppl. So... i guess ill find out.
I was planning on grabbing a wd blue 500gb m.2 ssd. Be interesting to see ow this all behaves. Interested to see what ppl say about the new bios. We are guinee pigs. I just hope we dont have the awful problems asus is having.
