Hi, I'm new in the forum.
With bios 3.00 and the Stilt preset (http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/23870) I can do 3200 and 3333 cas 14 totally stable.

3200 SOC 1.025v RAM 1.35v.
3333 SOC 1.10v RAM 1.375v.

Memory is 2x8Gb KFA2 HOF 3600, samsung b-die.
CPU ryzen 1700

For now, 3466 is unstable, but I'm happy with the X-370 gaming K4.

I followed this setting under Bios 3.10 and can confirm 3200 SOC 1.025v RAM 1.35v is stable. I have not tried 3333 frequency.

The memory kit I use is 2*8Gb Galax HOF 3600 Samsung b-die. CPU is 1700X at 3.7 GHz. Motherboard is of course Asrock X370 Gaming K4.

I can't seem to get above 2666mhz with my set of corsair vengeance lpx 3000mhz... it's 16 gigs (2 dimms) if that even matters. Using the latest UEFI, I only tried selecting the XMP profile and then selecting the frequency, anything above 2666 gives no post with error code F9, any tips on how to get a higher frequency?

It sounds like I have the same memory that your running.

I found that changing the ProcODT setting was what helped me get the most out of my memory Kit.

I turned on the XMP profile.
Then in the advanced DRAM timings set ProcODT to 48 Ohms (I would also suggest trying between 40 and 60 depending on your results)

I left the Voltage at what the XMP profile sets, and left SoC Voltage on AUTO (The motherboard set itself at 1.1)

And It booted right up using the XMP profile.

I ended up manually slowing it down to 2800 because I was able to get much tighter timings on my memory kit for sacrificing just 200Mhz.

Information on what ProcODT is and does is a bit cryptic, but there is some information you can dig up off the web, As always watch your temps after changing those settings.

Good Luck !

[URL=][/URL]Thank you! Hopefully this helps, what kind of timings were you able to get?

EDIT:
I tried this method and I set the thingy ma Bob (forgot the name already lmao) to 48 ohm, couldn't find the SoC voltage but it already booted right up with 2800MHz! Didn't tweak anything else yet, might be able to get tighter timings of higher clocks but for now it did wonders! Before I couldn't really do a cold start at 2666 but now it just works, that one option can make such a difference...

Hey EddoWagt, Glad to hear you were able to get some positive results !

SoC voltage is in your Voltage Configuration on the OCTweaker tab of the BIOS. Its named VDDCR_SOC Voltage. You should be able to set it to AUTO - FIXED - OFFSET

16-15-15-32 Is the best I've been able to squeeze out of this memory on this BIOS version, Some of the previous ones worked better, others worse...
I had forgotten that this new revision 3.00 (I have not tried 3.10 yet) gave me a ton of headaches at 3000. So that's when I just stuck with 2800.

Honestly I do not understand what you are happy when you reach only 2800-2900 MHz, if on ab350 chip any memory on the chips of Samsung without special movements takes 3400-3600.
Here i want to cry, that so "lucky" with the motherboard

Quote AMD Ryzen series CPUs support DDR4 2933+(OC)2667/2400
  -this is k4
Quote AMD Ryzen series CPUs support DDR4 3466+(OC) / 3200(OC) / 2933(OC) 
- this ab350
very very nice
While the price for 350 motherboard is 2 times lower on average

Just to inform you the Memory we are using is NOT Samsung B-die.





But yeah were the lucky ones who bought a motherboard that only a few short months into owning it find out the thing has been abandoned as an End Of Life product.

So any small victory Is the best I can hope for at this point... Thanks AsRock !!!!

EOL does not necessarily mean abandoned, I hope they will keep the updates coming, I still don't see a reason to EOL this mobo, what's wrong with it?

Just to inform you, this set of RAM is rated for 2933MHz by AMD, so if I can reach that I'm happy... I know this board won't go the highest in terms of clocks, but maybe they'll improve it even more in later updates (however many there are to come)
