Settings: - Ryzen 1700 - RAM F4-3200C15D-16GVK - Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 2 identical configs on both versions: - Disable core performance boost - CPU Frequency (MHz) - 3800 - CPU Voltage - 1.35V - CPU Vcore Voltage - Fixed 1.35V - VDDCR_SOC Voltage - Fixed 1.1V On 3.20 and others 3.x I got BSOD. Bios 2.40 Everything is stable: - Cpu 3.8GHz - Ram 2993MHz Maybe on 3.20 is a some additional setting needed. I don't know atm. -- Cheers

Don't you want some advice about your BSOD issue?

Does the BSOD occur when Windows (unknown version) boots, or sometime after the Windows desktop is displayed?

You can get into the UEFI/BIOS interface when you had the UEFI versions beyond 2.40 installed, correct?

Do you get the BSOD if you run your memory at its default speed of 2133? No mention of the DRAM voltage with the memory at 2933, or if you use the XMP profile.

What is the BSOD error description in Windows?

The UEFI/BIOS versions beyond 2.40 use the newer AGESA processor microcode versions, 1.0.0.6, 6a, and 6b. The new microcode versions include updated memory timing setting not found in earlier UEFI/BIOS versions, like 2.40.

Your memory is not listed by G.SKILL as compatible with Ryzen.

As we know, memory like this can work with Ryzen, but will need manual configuration of the memory settings, since the XMP profile is designed more for Intel systems. That is even more important with the newer AGESA versions in the UEFI.

Since we don't know the cause of your BSODs, I'm assuming that it is memory related, given in information in your post. We have seen other Ryzen users that have Ripjaws V memory having compatibility problems.
