Decided to push my NEW CH6 Extreme motherboard, Ryzen R7 1700, FlareX 3200 and Aorus 1080ti Extreme card today, and run a few benchmarks. With my first unified testing of all three together, I reached some pretty hefty scores. In cpuZ, I hit benchmark scores of 4988 for multithread, and a monsterous 464 on the single thread. Btw, all of these are so much higher than I had on my Hero motherboard before. Then I took to Cinebench R15, and nailed a 1810cb!!! Wow! Finally, I jumped on Fire Strike, and knocked out a nice score of 21824, with a SINGLE graphic's card. I only see one score higher than mine, with a single graphic's card, and that score was from the overall world leader in their benchmarks overall. It seems that everyone else on there are using two, three or even four graphic's cards to reach their scores. So I think my system is really looking strong here. I haven't tried to tweak my settings just yet, to see how high I can push it, but I have over clocked my 1700 to 4054mhz, and my memory to 3466mhz. So I am already extremely pleased with the results I have now.
Where are all those guys swearing that this board was just the same as the Hero, and not worth the upgrade? Because I can tell you for fact, that I was NEVER able to clock my 1700 anywhere near this level with any stability at all. And the same goes for the graphic's card. It was totally worth the upgrade!!!
UPDATE: I decided to make a quick bios change, as a suggestion was given to me that I could tighten my mem timings from 16's back to 14's, IF I push Dram voltage to 1.45, put ProcODT to 53.3 Ohms and lower command rate to 2T. So I jumped into bios and did this, with no intentions of getting back on the benchmark wagon. But, in opening cpuZ just to check that the timings were set and showing up, I decided to do a quick cpuZ benchmark for stability, and WOW! I hit a new high for the multithread score of 5006!!!!! Very happy with everything right now.
