Did anyone try Zen1 or Zen+ on the board yet? I just found out that at least some B550 boards are able to run older chips on pre-Zen3 bioses

If you're interested in an article, just send me a pm. I see no benefit in posting replies instead.

@darkgregor you're second in line

would trade for ryzen 5300G or 5700G

got a card with backplate and waterblock only. maybe someone has a dead card with working cooler and would sell it to me?

new stuff

I replaced thermal pads and pastes. Comes with manual and I/O-shield; 120 EUR + shipping - Asrock Z170M OC Formula; When I got it, both bios chips were upside down. Since fixing that, it works.

shipped to GER

Board is in Germany. Bought it used a while ago. As far as I can tell, it has never seen cold and the pins have never been bent. I used it daily for a while and benched it a few times on air. Never found something that does not work. Once got a fitting X58 Classy I/O-shield shipped for free from EVGA Germany but sold that with an X58 Classified. Really liked using it but I want to get rid of stuff and hope that someone else has some space left in a drawer and fully appreciates this board. I really don't want it to be killed by some ham-fisted ln2 bencher. I would like to avoid shipping to outside of the EU and would like to get 250 EUR shipped for it.

I often would like to know, how well binned a certain piece of hardware is. It would be nice if it became common to add some information about the amount of binning that was done to get hold of the chips.

is that OS allowed for submitting to hwbot?
