I just wish the lighting told me something useful. If the CPU fan changed color to indicate temperature or CPU load, that would be really cool. Likewise, if RAM lighting indicated the rate of data transfer. That would be pretty awesome. But all this fluff just to make PC more pretty seems pointless to somehow. (Don't get me wrong, if you like that sort of thing, by all means, enjoy it. My sister's boyfriend has a gam…

> I just wish the lighting told me something useful. There's a cross-platform, open source project that does this[1]. You can even script it and bind colors and effects not just to CPU load but to any variable (I don't know - maybe requests being served per second) 1. https://github.com/dcerisano/RGB-LED-Motherboard-Header-Driv...

That is really, really cool!

My PC case does not have a window, so I will never know the difference. But it is very cool one can do that!

No, I've heard good things about the ASUS. The ASRock (which is what I bought) is absolutely terrible. I regret buying the ASRock because I now have a computer that freezes constantly. It's not related to processor load or heat. It simply just doesn't work well at all. Sometimes an hour, sometimes 5 minutes.... I'm hoping I'm phrasing this well enough.

FWIW I am running a two week old Ryzen 5 2400G and ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac setup with rock solid stability under Windows 10. I did end up having to run my 3200MHz memory at 2933Mhz to avoid some issues. This is the max memory speed the CPU supports anyways so I don't consider it a large loss. The ASRock published memory QVL agrees with my finding that 3200MHz isn't stable with the specific memory I'm using…

I'm running the micro-atx AB350M Pro4 AM4. One can never be TOO sure that it's not something else, but I've run it on one stick of ram, with no other peripherals (removed WiFi PCIe card) and the problem persists. Still, the single stick of ram is the best it's ever run. I'd love to run at 2933, but it "seems" to freeze even more at those speeds. I hate that this is all non-scientific anecdotal evidence. That seems to be right in line with everything else over at the ASRock forums.

As an owner of an x360 Raven Ridge Envy, I'm also having similar issues. GPU Drivers on Raven Ridge seem to be borked at the moment.

I'm running Win10, default drivers (which seem to be 17.7 GPU drivers). HP Envy x360 laptop CANNOT upgrade to more recent drivers.

Have you tried updating to 18.3 or later GPU drivers?? Raven Ridge is allegedly all the same die, so I wouldn't be surprised if the iGPU drivers between both of our systems have a similar issue.

But yeah, its looking to me like Raven Ridge (the iGPU parts) still have some warts. The pure CPU Ryzen parts had warts too when they were released, but they were fixed much more quickly.

Nice incremental update, but since I already have a Ryzen 7 1700 on an Asrock X370 Taichi and it's been wonderful, I'll take a pass. If I hadn't already upgraded from my FX-6100, though, it would be worth looking into this one. As it stands, already having the 1700, I'd move up to a Threadripper if I could afford to upgrade, since a new motherboard would be needed anyway.

Running an i7-4790K here, and still torn on upgrading, would like the extra threads and going more than 32gb ram, but not sure it's worth it or not still.

I'll give updating the GPU drivers a shot and report back this evening. It's now become my "I'll try anything" setup.

Yeah, its a shame too. As long as my laptop doesn't crash, its actually kind of awesome.

But crashing makes it unable to do any kind of "serious" work. Nothing breaks a workflow like a forced unexpected reboot.

This "crashing" issue seems to be isolated to Raven Ridge. I've seen a lot of complaints about it here and there online. There was an obscure crash on Pinnacle Ridge CPUs (1800x, Threadripper, and EPYC) on Linux, but it was allegedly fixed months ago.

So based on my experience and research, it seems like Raven Ridge needs to be avoided. Its drivers just aren't good enough for prime time yet. Let me know if you're able to successfully update to something newer.

Oddly, wiping the thing out and installing with a brand new download of Windows 10 from MS's site has done wonders. My old install media was pretty old. I haven't installed a single external driver for anything this time around and it hasn't crashed. My Vega video driver was even recognized. I'm gonna let it run for a day or so before declaring any victory. Fun side note, I JUST placed an order for an ASUS mobo to replace this one.
