I know what happened now.

I skipped BIOS 2.00 when going from v1 to 3.43 without going through v2.00 which concerns my CPU

Do you know what is the best way to roll back? Is it AFUDOS? Can I use any AFUDOS.exe I find in the internet?

Thank you.

For dual-channel to work you must use A2/B2 slots. It SHOULD POST in dual-channel, albeit maybe @ 2133.

Now, last paragraph would be valid for regular RAM. You however have 16GB per stick. Now let me tell you that I'm yet to see a 1st generation Ryzen driving 16GB per stick. It's not the mobo at fault here, it's a CPU limitation. Better wait for Zen 2, you just might not need to swap the memory after all.

As for ASRock's BIOS not doing its thing - I highly doubt it, and believe me, there is probably no other person hating their BIOS like me.

I guess the best would be to wait till there is a QVL for Zen 2 and buy a rew RAM kit then....and in the meantime I can see if new BIOSes fix my current kit.

Oh well...

I honestly thing the memory side in the Asrock BIOS is not doing what it should, not even letting it retry 10 times with default JEDEC 2133 values.

I forgot to mention I cleaned the pins and re installed the RAM modules. Still says single mode. This happened to others too as I found in other forums.

I also tried with 2 sticks. Still says single channel, Tried swapping sticks, same.

I have been using the 1usmus CALC but lately is been giving weird lower values. Like a CAS of 13 at 2933 for my kit which should be around 16

I did tried 2933 and 3000 and nope! nothing.

What makes me think is rather an Asrock thing is that my RAM was working quite nicely in my Prime X370 Pro.

Yeah I guess I would order a compatible kit, the bad thing is that I do need 64GB and that hurts.

Ah, BTW: The BIOS also states "Single channel mode" in the main window where I can clearly see all DIMM slots populated and CPUz says the ram is running in Dual mode.

That's another hint that this BIOS has a broken memory training engine.


Hmm, we were writing together at the same time.

Single channel mode can also mean some of your RAM sticks are not well seated.

Well, where do I start?

1st gen Ryzens (1800X too) have issues with memory speed and compatibility. Their IMC can hardly drive 4 DIMMs above 2400, even with the best RAM.

Second, your memory is not in the QVL for this mobo. More so, this memory is known for its incompatibility with Ryzen.

Best you can do - swap it for a compatible one. Backup plan - run Ryzen Mem Calc by 1usmus, record the values given by the calc, clear CMOS, put the recorded values manually in BIOS.

Fingers crossed!
