Gigabytes app center programs run several services in the background that can affect performance as they are given highest priority all the time, best to uninstall all the bloatware really yes.

Thanks for the timings, @POE_UK They are kinda mean, lol!

I'm running HCI Design's memtest. Haven't been working with memtest86 for years. Then again, I didn't really get into overclocking with my previous build (3570K which ran 4.2Ghz @ -0.10V Vcore was reached within 20min's and I left memory at XMP speeds)

My cooler's an older Noctua NH-U12P SE2 (pull only due to RAM clearance) in my Meshify C, sporting a total of seven 120mm Noctua fans.

If you are looking for push pull in a small space look for scythe low profile 120mm fans, they are great and really quiet, i use these in my htpc under the tv

Been running them for years with not one issue. they are only 12mm thick so 2 of these are still thinner than one standard fan. the blades are also detachable for cleaning.

I haven't bothered trying but apparently the software for the X470 boards works on the X370 boards as well and fixes some bugs. Might be worth trying for anyone that wants to use the app center stuff.

I might just go for the Scythe fans, @POE_UK The Noctua NF-F12 is dissapointingly noisy and I bought two of them. They seldomnly run very fast, though. I could spring for the Noctua NF A12x15 just to keep the theme alive.

Then again, rather than splurge on a bunch of fans I might as well go for a 2700X and get the Wraith cooler.

Oh yes grab a 2700x, you will not be disappointed at all, in fact its an upgrade over the 1700 in every way possible, on a good motherboard you will run at 4.3GHz all day long no issues whatsoever and the memory support and timings are incredible. mines at 4325MHz at 1.4v on the gaming7 wifi, will even run my ram at 3600MHz cas 14

That full RGB cooler with the 2700x is absolutely beautiful, but dont use it past 4.1GHz on all cores, i tell yea its a masterpiece for a boxed cooler, the fan itself has so many FX/Patterns with the coolermaster software, its a 3 zone rgb cooler, it performs real good, im saving mine for a ryzen 3 2200G build, should be able to overclock the snot out of it with this cooler for sure as its designed for 8 core cpus at stock

ATM I'm on 1700 and AB350 gaming 3 mobo so I would love to change it. I'll go with 2700x but which motherboard to take? Taichi?

yea taichi or x470 gaming7 aorus, both great

If you like digital lighting go with the aorus x470 gaming7 wifi

trust me its nothing like the x370 gaming5, it works!

Didn't notice, nice :D

It resolved an issue I was experiencing while restarting into windows, it simply froze, with f23h I don't experience the issue no more.

X370 Gaming 5 F23i beta bios https://drive.google.com/open?id=16wLhx3...RCu5OodmR9o7PUe

Any change log? The f23h seems really stable, dunno if I should upgrade to f23i

Indeed, changelog for F23h and F23i would be helpful.

Hi all I just joined the forums and wanted to say thank you for all of the information provided as well as the Modded BIOS for the Gaming k7. I am having a very strange issue with the f23fD-M modded bios. As soon as I enable SATA RAID the DRAM voltage reverts to exactly 1.2V no matter what. If I switch the BIOS back to AHCI mode the issue goes away. Has anyone else had this issue? I was able to get things stable at 4GHz easy with 2933 loose timings since my boot drive is 2 1TB SSDs in RAID 0 I was hoping someone here may have a working solution. It has also been a LONG time since Gigabyte released an official bios and this issue also happens on the official f23f BIOS from Gigabyte so I assume it is a bug. Any insight would be appreciated.
