ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING issues

[theprob]

Hello,

Anyone experienced the following with the mentioned board:

After 6/10 system starts my system don't see the LAN adapter or my mouse at all. I need to restart the system or replug my mouse to solve the issue. I've experienced the mouse connection issue within UEFI too. Furthermore I experiencing further annoying problems, such as random video signal loose (especially when I start a fan calibration within AISuite 3). After that, I can only revive my system with a hardreset.

I tried to reinstall windows/nvidia driver/chipset driver, etc. And of course, I have the latest BIOS version.

Now, I sent back the board to the vendor, because ASUS Support advised that. They will revise it. I hope soo, that they won't evalute that it's just a SW related issue...

No sound,in this motherboard after update new version windows 10

Hi,

Try with Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF MB) from my UAD drivers thread.

Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Note (in order to choose correctly the install/update process to use) : You have a ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard.

Hi guys,

Long time, haven't been here. I just swapped my R5 1600 with a new R5 3600. Bios is 5406 and latest chipset drivers installed. Things seems to be pretty normal and I look at the temps reported by AI Suite 3, the temps runs around between 49 C to 55 C on idle and 60 C when benchmarking. I thought oh, the new 3rd Gens are quite cool. But when I open RyzenMaster and see, the temps are hitting 74 C on load. RyzenMaster reports around 42~44 C while idle which I think is more reasonable. I also found numerous comments saying that on 3rd Gen CPUs, the temps reported by RyzenMaster is the true one and other HWMonitoring software can't report a correct temp.

Now, my worries are the fan-curves. My fans are not spinning enough when the actual temps are hitting 74C but because AI Suite3 think the temps are still over 50 and won't spin up. Same thing on idle, it won't spin down the RPMs low enough to match the actual 40ish C. Anyone here running 3rd Gen Ryzen on this mobo and having same issue? How can I set the correct fan-curves to correct temps?

Thanks in advance.

I have been running the 3600 for some time now though I am still running the 5220 bios, I have noticed however this motherboard is rather generous with the voltage under stock bios settings and this can lead to heat, at stock settings aside for the ram DOCP it would boost 2 cores to 4.2GHz and the others to 4GHz and the voltage would boost to 1.47v and if under heavy load or like benchmark or gaming it holds 1.45v and this brings heat, I have found through testing that you can actually run an all core over clock of 4.1GHz with just 1.3v or all core 4.2GHz with just 1.35v and this brings temps way down, so I guess the first question is what type of cooling do you have? if it is the stock 3600 cooler then those temps seem about right, on my system with a custom water loop on a 240mm rad i get 25c idle and 30-35c under load and a max of 40c if the room is warm.

As for the fan curve I generally find this is best and more reliable when set in the bios as the bios will see the accurate temps ( be sure to disable any fan control software though as this will mess with it), in there you can set temp to rpm

For your questions, I've paired my 3600 with G.Skill 3000MHz CL16 RAMs. Set it to DOCP Standard and it's good to go. Cooling is made possible with Corsair H80i GT (the thick beefy 120mm) AIO with dual push-pull fan config. For normal usage, I just set everything to stock with Precision Boost Override enabled to 200MHz headroom. On full load, best cores reached to 4.17GHz while worst cores are at 4.1 GHz with V-Core around 1.38v. Max temps according to RyzenMaster is 76° C while room temp is around 30° C (non-airconditioned room). But AISuite 3 (and inside bios as well) reported just 57° C max. That's where my doubts lies.

My best stable clock so far is 4.35GHz at 1.412v V-Core and Max Temp is 83°C according to RyzenMaster (AISuite 3 and Bios reported 61°C) . Played Rise of the Tomb Raider and Batman Arkham Knight with that settings about 6 hours non-stop. So, I guess it is very stable. I feel like I could reach 4.4GHz if i pump up the V-Core a little bit but I don't want to do it at this moment. I'm pleased with what I've got so far.

So, for now, my worries are really in that temp difference between RyzenMaster and B350 motherboard (both Bios and AISuite 3) reporting. I also tried to set the fan-curves in the bios and disabled AISuite 3 but still the same result.

Quick question if anyone has any experience with this: I'm considering an upgrade to 32GB of RAM. I have 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000C15 sticks currently. Would it be better to add two more 8GB sticks, or replace the 2x8 with 2x16GB? Thanks.

What sort of memory speeds are people getting with Ryzen 3000 chips on the B350-F? Can it run DDR4-3600 at all?

[Corecom]

I have G Skill 2x8 3200Mhz CL16-16-16-36 dual rank modules.
With 1600X I managed it max to 3066Mhz at 16-16-16-36 at 1,365 volts and it was rock stable. I didn't use the calculator and I use it at defaults + little much voltage.
With 3700X and last bioses I got 3466Mhz at defaults and 1,365v but I use it now at 3333Mhz 1,35v - no difference at speeds measured with aida64.
My memory modules work at this MB only at noneven Mhz: 2933/3066/3333/3466. If I try 3200Mhz - crashes! 3600Mhz crashes too!

This board has low quality PCB so expected maximum RAM frequency is a little lower than mainstream boards and much lower than high end boards. You may however manually fine tune memory timings to compensate boards "jitter" on high memory speeds. But it will take months if you want absolute perfect combination of all variables. Much easier is just modify XMP timings and relax them. This board have "Office desktop" grade components but with charge for ASUS and ROG brands.

Yes it can.

You say yest it can. Is that a guess or have you tested it and if you did what modules did you use?
If the modules are those Corsair in your signature, could you provide the exact model number of those modules.
I am upgrading to a 3600 from my 1600 CPU and am also looking at upgrading my memory which are still DDR4-2400 Crucials that run quite well at 2800.
