Asrock X370 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 Support Thread

[Ket]

For Asrock:

G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16GFX, s/n 1712A5000835483, production date March 2017

ok, now some other stuff...

as soon as I enter CPU oc mode (i.e. anything above 3 GHz for 1700, no RAM oc) it fails OCCT CPU Large test after ~10 min (bluescreen, auto-restart etc.)

the weird thing is, say, I can run all kind of stress tests stable, like Realbench for 8 h, linpack for 1 h, cinebench, SuperPi32 etc. EXCEPT OCCT CPU Large - instant crash. Different frequencies, vcore, llc, soc, I think i tried everything even downgraded BIOS to 2.40 - same problem

disabling SMT seems to solve the problem... question is what's at fault here... board, software, cpu or something else

I would greatly appreciate if someone could run OCCT (v.4 5.0 latest) CPU Large test on Gaming K4 with an oc Ryzen and see if the crash can be replicated. Thank you.

I am aware of what it does/supposed to do...i was sent a kit from gskill.

I sent messages.

Meanwhile...i will shove in another board...

Here is a fail list...2 are on amd compat list...one amd sent...

Chew, what UEFI version did you use when testing those kits on the Taichi, and what was their maximum stable frequency? Once I know this R&D can look in to things.

Right, although I don't think it has anything to do with oc stability

would be great if someone could tun OCCT CPU: Large test for 30 min on an oc rig tho

to figure out whether the problem is local or not

Any success? I'll do a quick run with OCCT and let you know my results.

Well, the moderator of the ASROCK forums did say as such.

So, apparently, this board has some kind of hardware issue that can't be fixed, and they EOLed it.
Otherwise, why would they EOL it so soon?

I'll directly ask my contacts about this to clear any confusion up but as I've said they have not said to me the K4 is EOL.
