RAM clocks and voltages with B450M Pro4

Hello Everyone.

I'm having issues with my RAM speeds&timings&voltages on my B450M Pro4 motherboard. The RAMs are 3400Mhz 2x8GB Patriot Viper4 dual channel kit (PV416G340C6K), the CPU is 2200G Ryzen3 and the board is the B450M Pro4.

I cannot get it boot on stock XMP profile, which is set to 3400Mhz. I had to step down to 3200Mhz, and even fine-tuned the timings according to Ryzen Calculator suggestions. It gained some performance over stock xmp timings with 3200mhz. This clock speed is stable at 1.29V.

Yet, whenever I try to boot on 3400Mhz, even with relaxed timings, the PC just refuses to boot. It goes through a few "fail" cycles, restarts itself, then, stock bios settings are restored.

What would be the best way to make this work? New Asrock B450M Pro4 BIOS limits RAM voltages to 1.4Volts. Also, CPU SOC voltage is 1.1V at maximum, though I'd rather set 1.07 or some such.

Even with relaxed timings, it refuses to work. Or, is it the limitation of my 2200G cpu? As I know, this unit still uses regular Zen-1st gen architecture and not very famous for the internal memory controller.

Do I assume correctly, that probably with a better CPU, those RAMS should work? I tried them with 3000Mhz CL14.. and 2666Mhz CL12... timings, those went great. But I'd rather much run them at their advertised speed..

Any hints-advice or something? I appreciate any assistance. Thank you for reading through.

Regards

Thanks. Those were my suspicions. But I don't mind now, I'll probably upgrade my whole rig @end of this summer, and will pick another mobo as well (steel legend b450 would be nice)

hello.
I've tried it with XMP settings, and it did not boot. Nor when I tried to tweak the settings a little with raising timings. Anything above 3200Mhz is impossible so far.

3200 works, and I use it right now. But no matter how I try, I cannot get them work at their factory 3400Mhz.

QVL as far as I know, is just a very brief list of those kits, the MoBo-s manufacturer tested the board. So 99.9999% of the time, completely irrelevant.

thanks. I've read that through before. I'm very certain, that my 2200G is the limiting factor. It's just don't have memory controller capable of OC-ing rams.

The kit should be decent enough. Patriot Viper4 PV416G340C6K

Well on same MB ASRock B450m Pro 4 but with Ryzen 5 1600x and with memory 2x 8GB
HyperX Predator XMP 3000 MHz CL 15-15-15-36 1.35, I could OC my memory to 3600MHz
with 1.4v SOC to 1.2v if you wish to know SOC can go to 1.5500v but that's another story this was on Bios 2.00 but with XMP enabled and overclocked max I can go was 3300MHz but disabling XMP and adding it manually the timing and the speed and voltage it worked with 3600MHz. But I turn it down to 3200MHz
with 16-17-17-17-36 - 1.35v and 1.15 SOC but on 3600MHz I went with 18-20-20-20-41 - 1.4v and 1.2v SOC. So on first get Ryzen it went above 3200MHz although the ram sticks were not with XMP out of the box on 3400MHz speed they were as I said 3000MHz. My point is that you can add higher frequency memory on B450M-Pro4 Mobo.
But I presume CPUs have their limitations.
