Using Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB Kit: CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W Best I could get out of this 3200 CL 16-18-18-36 kit is 2667 18-18-36-62... Very demoralizing especially since I just built it and I read LPX kits are compatible, just not THESE LPX kits... Any help to get it running better would be appreciated. Im pretty sad. I have the same kit on my X370 Taichi, I have managed 2666mhz 14-15-15-30 @ 1.375v and SOC set to 1.1v I can also run 2993mhz 18-20-20-40 but that isn't really any faster in benchmarks so I've stuck with the 2666 lower timings for now. I think the biggest thing is to change the SOC voltage higher, I've found 1.1 quite good, I think 1.2v is the highest recommended for daily use.

I saw it in the morning, downloaded it, installed it, and then it was gone from the list. Made me think I had just made a horrible mistake. Anyway, I guess my point is that if you refresh, or open a new tab, you should see 1.93A. The note on it is, "Improve XMP DRAM compatibility.". Pretty big jump from ~1.6 to ~1.9, so who knows, you might have some luck.

You cannot use the UEFI from one board with another. Even if you tried, the update should be stopped before it begins. Applying the UEFI for one board to another would result in at best a broken UEFI, and at a worst a bricked board.

BTW guys, there are two Ryzen Fatal1ty X370 boards (Professional Gaming, and Gaming K4), and three Ryzen Fatal1ty models, including the Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4. I know typing these names is a pain, but if you don't fully identify the board you're using, we can't give you accurate information.

As of the evening of 3/29/2017 in the USA, I see both Ryzen Fatal1ty x370 boards have a 1.60 UEFI version, so 1.60 was not removed from either board's download page:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Professional%20Gaming/index.asp#BIOS

UEFI updates are coming quickly, and I see a 1.94A Beta version for the Taichi just posted:

The Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming has the 1.93D Beta version available, as stated above.

Not that this will make you feel any better I imagine, but I was reading some user comments about other manufacture's Ryzen boards. Many of them include the lack of DRAM configuration features in the UEFI/BIOS, so that seems not uncommon.

It sure seems the Ryzen processors were available for purchase before the mother board and memory manufactures were ready with their products.
