I have no idea what level 4 LLC is. I have the CPU set to default with 37x multiplier in BIOS thus razing the speed to 3700 Ghz. I recently switched the DRAM from default of 2400 to 3200 in BIOS since I purchased g.Skill 3200 Flare X (
http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-16gfx ). The timings are on default because I need to do some reading to get an understanding of the timing settings (much more fine grain compared to my older Asus Mobo UEFI timing settings).
The system booted with no issues, so while in Win 10 with the BETA Ai Suite 3 installed I bumped up the CPU to 40x (4000 Ghz). Again no problems. The PC has idled at 31C to 36C with the occasional jump to 41C - 43C (open air 70F, case covers off). Ai Suite 3 is showing 1.351 volts for CPU. My video card comes with Unigen Valley Benchmark software (DX11) and with it running at 4x anti-aliasing full screen windowed the CPU is only at 41C - 43C. I'll have to play some games and see what the temps are like. I'm hoping that once I close up the tower that the channeled flow of air will aid in cooling components and thus bring temps down a bit more. I would love to crank up the CPU to 4300 - 4400 Ghz, with correct tight memory timings, and run at 80% to full load at a steady 44C or lower temp.
Parts listThe prices are a bit higher than what I paid for and the parts list doesn't show the CPU/Mobo combo price which was cheaper than the sum of the two part prices.
I have CPU-Z that comes with mobo utilities. Where can I get ryzen master, Aida64, and hardware info?... are there equivalent applications available in the Linux space? It would be really great if Asus gave Linux the same level of support that they are giving Windows 10 (not a fan of that OS).
I plan on running Linux and maybe Windows 10 for gaming; that is until I can get my game setups fully functional in Linux. I'll still run Win 10 because I need to be proficient with it.
