I don't know... I assume that a utility exists that could enlighten me.

HwInfo is one, Aida64 is another. They are both free but HwInfo may be more widely used.

running the following timings 3200 14-14-14-14-34-1T
Booted right up with no drama.


What specific PN is the TridentZ kit? Users knowing that would be a useful data point WinkTongue

Fook man. Two thumbs up on those timings! Nice. Very Nice! Those would look good on a 32GB Kit. Never mind you've done this with a 64GB Kit.



Thanks, however I just followed the info Aida64 reported in the SPD section and attempted the timings listed until I found the lowest stable configuration. And it has been 'rock solid'. I credit the X370 design with a great SOC/DDR4 power phase components and the Gskill kit for the 'win' on the tight timings.

Understood, in gaming it will likely provide single digit performance increase going from DDR4@2400mhz to DDR4@3200mhz. I also gather how 'important' gaming is to many and a 'single digit' increase by going to 3200mhz or above may be found just 'ok'.

I went with a Gskill kit on my last couple of builds and had little issues that Gskill didn't address rather quickly. It was impressive so I went with a 'non-approved' Ryzen Memory kit from Gskill knowing that I could still achieve some performance out of them. I had some success with timings but not frequency, although this weekend maybe that will change. I d/l the new Bios(ver2.20) for the X370 Pro Gaming and will try out some of the reported DDR4 options. Who knows, maybe 2666mhz or above for me? Perhaps you too?

I was refering to games frame rates - it was only couple of frames more in most cases. Of course there are cases when it was more than 10%. Anyway looks like even "ryzen memory" flare x has only 2400Mhz in 32gb version kit;/ but 16gb for me is not enough. I just don't see any better option now - looks like even with higher TridentZ 32gb it will not even work with 2666Mhz;/

A couple of percentage points? You must've referred to prior info on some other sites. There can be significant read/write changes with faster speeds as indicated on one of the sites I linked to. In just read/write is was up to 46.4 percent once 3200Mhz memory was achieved/used.

Also in a 'general' way when running at higher M/T's and lower latency between the CCX's all programs/games/OS's will perform better. That in itself is what I wish to achieve just by running at the rated speed of my DDR4(3200Mhz/1600Mt's) and then some adjustment to the BCLK(when fixed to perform similar to Asus and Gigabyte's currently do... and have done) I expect even a greater boost. True it could be only a couple of percentage points with some programs or it could be vastly higher in others.

I have an Intel I-7(Ivy Bridge) workstation and I upgraded my FX-8350 workstation to a Ryzen 7 1800X. It's a HUGE performance difference, with potentially more once the DDR4 and BCLK issues on my X370 Professional Gaming/Bios version 2.00 are brought up to parity with Asus and Gigabyte.

At least that is my wish...

I've decided to stick to my 32gb ripjaws with 2400 Mhz - I think there is no such big benefit from going higher - I saw that 2400 vs 3200 it's about couple of percent. It's not reasonable for me to spend 200$ more for hope that Trident Z will work with higher freq someday. Anyway I will stay tuned to see if any bios update will improve possible frequencies.
