Just a data point for everyone.
SLI Killer/AC Bios 2.10 G.Skill Tridentz 3600 Ram 8Gb (x2) 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   |

I was able to run 2400 with 15,15,15,15,38. 2666 doesn't start even with higher latencies.

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. |

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.

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 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;/

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. |

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? |
