AB350+ Ryzen 5 1600 (stock clock) + Patriot Viper 4 RAM (pv416g340c6k), i confirm that with BIOS 4.40 RAM runs at 3333MHz with XMP profile.

I have same MB and CPU, Ryzen CPU only can handle memory to 3000hz. I got 3200 as well but it will not quite reach 3000 in reality.

Ive been using x370 gaming x + ryzen 5 1600 stock clock + patriot viper pv416g340c6k (2x8gb). Bios 3.20 newest

Xmp profile enable, running on 3200mhz 16-17-17-17-36. 1,35voltage, and everything else on auto. Sticked in dram slot a2 - b2

That setting is the most stable for playing games hours without crashing nor bluescreen, cool boot no issue.

This is my first asrock mobo and had no problems so far. Before i was with msi+fx8370e the vrm got too hot when OC so i sold it n upgrade to am4.

Yes, gigabyte gaming 3 is crap.
It was my first am4 mobo, and I RMA it in fist weak because VRM overheat.
You can get 3200 and save 400$ but it not work under full load long time without very active cooling.
If you want gigabyte that choose between:
Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming K7
Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5
only these two have good VRM on IR35201 6 phases.

Asrock make 6 phases even on cheap A320M Pro4/AB350M Pro4/AB350 Pro4 (ISL95712 and 3 doubled phases = 6 phases)

https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f12/pga-am4-mainboard-vrm-liste-1155146.html
IMHO if mobo does not have 6 phases (real or 3 doubled) - that it crap that can work only with 65 Watt TDP CPU without overclocking, and requires good cooling.

By my personal VRM criteria:
- almost all asrock is good
- almost all: asus, gigabyte, biostar and msi - is crap.


PS: I never use asrock before am4, I use 4years with asus, 3 years with epox and last ~10 gigabyte.
I try gigabyte at first with am4 and fail die to bad VRM design.
I see gigabyte for intel and compare gigbyte for AM4 - and see only ultra low price mobos and two highend (really one with differ only one chip). No ud3, ud5 and other REAL middle segment are present.

ASRock not ideal, but for am4 now it is more good than all other.

Goto bios, and wait for 1 hour. VRM will overheat and mobo tuns off, or you need agressive cooling system.
For sure the gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 is worse then the asrock x370 gaming x but I am able to use my memory @ 3200mhz and I have saved 40??

i would advise if trying/testing ram stability to increase it to known good voltages to eleiminate that from the equation (e.g. 1.35+ volts) while you are testing ram
When I am testing ram OC, I always set cpu to auto.

I have news.

I am already able to boot with 3200mhz but the system is not stable.
I have set xmp profile 1, set 2T, gear down mode and power down disabled, vdcr +300mv and dram voltage to 1.395.
The system boots, I can shut down the pc or restart it and always boots fine but windows is unstable.
Getting blue screens and all software to test system stability fails.

I hope that with another bios update from asrock we fix these issues. I have researched and there is a review online for the same specific RAM modules I have and the guy was able to get 3200mhz stable from a ryzen 7 1700 with a gigabyte x370 gaming 5.

So for now, I am runing @ 3066mhz but changed the settings to 16-17-17-36-34-1T. Ram Voltage 1.375 and VDCR +180mv. I also have changed cpu voltage to 1.2875 @ 3800mhz. It`s stable and I am getting 1657 on Cinebench.

I hope this will help others.

Best regards,
V
