    New MSI motherboard can't overclock as high as the previous one. Am I doing something wrong?

    I'm in the same boat. I went from an ASRock B350 board to an MSI X370 board. On the ASRock motherboard, my Ryzen 5 1600 was getting 3.8GHz at 1.375V, maxing out at 77C on Prime95, and I was pretty excited about that cuz I actually like the stock air cooler. On the MSI, it takes 1.4V just to get...

    MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon: Fans spinning in the wrong direction!

    Ok looks like I was wrong. Even with the other PSU, the fans are spinning the wrong direction. I'm stumped. I'm uploading a video of it to YouTube. Will post shortly.

    MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon: Fans spinning in the wrong direction!

    You know what, I bet it's that new PSU I ordered causing it. The front fans are spinning in the wrong direction too, but they're not connected to the motherboard. They're controlled by their own controller, but that is also connected to the PSU. I hope this didn't screw anything up on the...

    MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon: Fans spinning in the wrong direction!

    I opened up the motherboard manual before leaving for work. Apparently there's a setting to choose between DC mode and PWM mode. I didn't get to tinker with it. I'll see what I can do after work.

    MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon: Fans spinning in the wrong direction!

    Even with just the CPU fan hooked up, it's spinning in the wrong direction. I just updated the BIOS and it's still doing it. The fan only hooks up one way, so I don't know.

    I REALLY screwed up just now. Do I need to replace my motherboard?

    I think you made the right choice man. Just be more patient next time. Last night I had to take my new build apart to RMA my motherboard(which I have a thread about), and it took me a good 30 minutes to figure out how to remove the stock cooler on my Ryzen 5 1600. I know from previous experience...

    Ouch bro. I feel bad for you. If it were me, I'd replace it. It would just bug the hell out of me.

    Intermittent failure to POST on new Ryzen build: Motherboard or PSU?

    Just ordered it. Should be here Wednesday. The Windows 10 Pro key I bought is OEM. Hopefully I'll be able to activate my Windows installation on the new board by phone.

    Intermittent failure to POST on new Ryzen build: Motherboard or PSU?

    Update. Just built the system out of the case, still has the problem. Motherboard is boxed up, ready to go back to Newegg. I'm just gonna get a refund and order an X370 board.

    Intermittent failure to POST on new Ryzen build: Motherboard or PSU?

    That's the very last thing I'm going to do before RMAing the board. The RAM is on the QVL for this motherboard, but I suppose the RAM could be bad. This sucks.

    Intermittent failure to POST on new Ryzen build: Motherboard or PSU?

    Crap. I put in a new power supply and the problem is still there. First time I'm gonna RMA a motherboard. :(
