Great review 
n00b questions of the day : does the auto overclock work like we're used to, as in, only gives the mhz rated or it ramps up until it hits the temp/voltage threshold ? and are those extra always up whenever there's any type of load or only in certain situations like Intel's ? Can we turn off the extra threads to only have the 4/6/8 strong cores ?
Also i assume we turn off any type of boost/power savings when overclocking like we've always done or simply use the profiles that come with the Asus boards

Thanks Kenrou!
By "auto overclocking" I assume you mean XFR? There's a speed table in the review of what it does.
If you mean typical motherboard auto overclocking, that is the same as it always has been.
Yes, threads/cores can be selectively disabled.
XFR and boost automatically disable when setting multiplier manually.

Great write-up Austin! Looks like AMD finally came out swinging this time!

so it is, sorry was so focused on the R7 that i completely skipped the R5

What's the max temps on these guys? Has AMD released any guidance?

I've been asking them about the max die/core temp and haven't gotten a straight answer, I was hoping to include that with the review.
Thanks bassnut!
Seems to be a solid board. I had no stability issues at 4GHz 8c16t with 2x8GB DDR4-3200 15-15-15-35.

Interesting. On one note, max tcase for XFR/boost was 60C right? Then again that doesn't mean it has to stay under that, AMD could've just set a safe number, right?

Great review, I really enjoyed the depth provided about the new tech.
One little suggestion - can we start using DIFFERENT colors for the graphs? Shades of gray makes it VERY hard to interpret.

Correct, tCase max is 60°C. Note, tCase =/= Core Temp.
Nice work, Austin
Thanks Janus!
Appreciate it! Twas very nice to get into some actual new tech, instead of refreshes.
I was going to change the graph colors for this review, but ran out of time
I'll likely stick with grays for the non-review items for comparisons, but put more differential between them.

Yup, tracking. Does monitoring software report tCase at all? Might be a safe number to stay under until further guidance from AMD. Just thinking all the people with new toys might not want to blow them up on day 1 [emoji14]

No, Ryzen Master reports core/die temp.

From AMD:
"The neural net is a perceptron hash based net, using multiple levels, and is consistent across all Ryzen processors as it is a per core implementation. Further details in the architecture deck."
As soon as I have the architecture deck I'll let you know.
