I feel I am going to have a steep learning curve to overclock a Ryzen processor. I have not build a AMD system for about 10 years or so. So I’m out of practice with the way AMD does things. I recently bought:
Ryzen 7 1700
X370 Taichi
G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2×8GB) DDR4 3200
Which will be here on Wednesday or so. I would like 4Ghz or close to it with the memory running at 3200. Reason I bought the 1700 is most of the review sites basically say that all the ryzen 7 CPU's are the same with different clock speeds. I don't really know if that is true or not. This will replacing a 4790K, Z97 MB and 16GB of DDR3-2400. Now if there is a performance difference between the 2, I don't really care about that, unless it is like 50%, which it doesn't seem to be at least from the research I have done. I just haven't liked recent Intel business practices and now the security issues that they seem to be having with Meltdown and AMT so I’m voting with my wallet and going to AMD.
Questions:
#1. What settings do I need to change or look at on the Taichi to get to my Goal of 4Ghz at 3200Mhz ram speed?
#2. Will a Phanteks PH-TC14PE cool a Ryzen 7 at 4Ghz?
#3. This is the first time I have bought a Asrock MB. What are the communities view on their MB’s, support, RMA?
#4. What is the likely performance difference between a 4790K and 4Ghz or near that, Ryzen 7 processor?
