Board ready,waiting for 1800X

 

Got the 1800x pre-ordered, still looking for mATX mobo that supports 3200 RAM with decent phases.

 

Also preordered 1800x

 

Only 1800X? I feel discrinated against

how did you get the board this early?

 

Asus Crosshair VI Hero at home just waiting for the pre-ordered 1800X and Corsair Dominator 4 x 8GB Limited Chrome edition

COME TO DADDY

 

Added 1700X and 1700.

 

What memory do you guys recommend? I'm looking at 16gb (2x8gb) gskill trident z 3200mhz cas 16 for $160 CAD... yay or nay?

Trident Z 3200mhz will work great!

 

Preordered 1800x, Asus Crossfire Hero, and G-SKILL Trident Z DDR4-3200 (CL 14).

Anyone know if Amazon will be shipping on March 2 or shipping it early enough so that it'll be delivered by March 2? And on a side note, I am assuming like Newegg, Amazon will ship first to those who got their orders in first? I'm hoping my pre-ordered motherboard and cpu comes before the weekend so that I can enjoy it during the weekend.

 

Anyone get an early 1800x? What voltages are you seeing stock? I am hitting 1.5V when it boosts to 4Ghz. Verified with a meter. On hero board. This is a scary high voltage. But, thermals seem fine.

Wait. You have an 1800x in your system running at the moment?

 

this is one sweeeeeeet stock cooler!

I have access to one. That is about all I can say right now.

Mmmmm. While from what i can recall from AMD chips 1.5 is about the highest voltage you would set it at for overclocking, but it wasn't considered dangerous.

I think 1.5 to AMD is like 1.35 or 1.4 to Intel. Whereas safety is concerned anyways.

I know the voltage in the past was higher, but the node was far larger. Hense my concern.

Mmmmm the node was larger, yes. However GloFo is different than intels. I wish i could provide more insight into if it is normal, or not. The best i can point out is the 945 BE, and Bulldozer were 45nm, and 32nm respectively and i think they still both were safe at 1.5v.

 

Preordered the 1700x and MSI Gaming Carbon, also have 16gb GSKill Trident Z 3200 CL16.

 

I can say this much based of the few tests done so far, wait for reviews.

Perhaps you can clarify with this much. Is what you are seeing in-line with our expectations(What we've been seeing.), or is it different? Not i'm asking different, not better, or worse.

Is it, you should wait for reviews

Or is it, you should wait for reviews

 

With FX the official voltage red line is 1.55 volts, but the operating principle is: If you can cool it you can clock it. Are cpu temperatures staying under 60C?

Under 60, water.

 

It's not my place to say but methinks that as long as the temps stay under 60C it should be ok. With FX the motherboards always overvolt so unless one gets a bad cpu one can run the same clocks with lower voltages stable after some tinkering.

Below 60 on water for 1.5v on 16 threads? I'd feel like I have to see that to believe it based off my experience with my 5820k
