x370 pro gaming memory issue

I'm revisiting many of the sites I used as reference prior to my AsRock/Ryzen purchase and found a few to pass on regarding memory/performance information:

Here is the first:
http://www.legitreviews.com/ddr4-memory-scaling-amd-am4-platform-best-memory-kit-amd-ryzen-cpus_192259

And I routinely check the RyMem page... only to see Asus and Gigabyte dominate with memory compatibility and speeds. I hope the updates anticipated this month help address some of the issues with later updates over the months bringing even better results. Here is the RyMem page which is a very good reference:

http://rymem.vraith.com/basic/top10

As well as this very decent guide (at least it helped me get better timings on my DDR4):

http://www.overclockers.com/amd-ryzen-overclocking-guide/

...and of course with a new platform/architecture there will be a need for some patience and realistic expectations on my part, so on goes the adventure.

And congrats on the "booted right up".

Samsung B-die kit?

Just a data point for everyone.

it should be (less strain on the cpu mem controller) but

it still is dealing with dual sided sticks in the above 16gb x 2 kit
at the moment the
proverbial 'rule of thumb' is
for best chance of 3200 speed
use single sided ram sticks (these can only be upto 8gb each)
with samsung b dies (once again these seem only to be 8gb sticks))
and only use two slots (a2 b2)

i think theres 32gb systems around for sure maybe 2666 and 2993 speeds but the timings seem to be high and the success low

were talking some 16gb x2 kits not even booting

i feel your asking for someone to come up with a magical suggestion for ram 32gb kit that just dosnt exist at the moment
its just early days for the brand new am4/ryzen platform very much like the early x99 intel systems with the same sort of ram choice/memory speed issues

to sum up
you can have hopefully have a good chance to get 3200 and some cl14 or cl15 timings but only on 16gb max ram

if you must use 32 gb then you will have to expect slower speeds and maybe higher latency

now on the upside its reasonable to expect a new agesa code bios to be around in two weeks maybe it will be a very good improvement

i think the main problem at the moment is the amd agesa code not really liking 4 sticks of ram or double sided ram both these together are forcing slower speeds
combined must be even harder

we can only guess or assume as to how good the difference will be with the may 1005 agesa

i think/hope it might be reasonable to hope for max 3600 on single sided pair of sticks eg 16gb max
it would be nice to assume/hope for 3000 on 4 sticks or double sided eg 16gbx2 or 8gbx4 sticks 32bg max
