    Posted: 19 May 2018 at 1:46am
Does anyone know if Asrock X370 Taichi + Ryzen 7 2700X would work with G.SKILL Flare X 32GB (4 x 8GB) at 3200 MHz? It works fine with two 8GB Flare X sticks at 3200 MHz, but I've heard that 4 sticks are harder to run at that frequency.

G.Skill have a Flare X set like this (4x8GB, 3200 MHz, 14-14-14-34 latency), but Asrock's QVL doesn't list it.

It really depends on the IMC and what it's capable of.  You'll have to do some tweaking for sure to get it running.  And YMMV on what's considered stable.  You'll definitely have to relax timings, and definitely be running it at 2T.  I do not think you'll be able to use XMP profiles at all for this either.

Is is Zen+ IMC in 2700X good enough for it?

What do you mean by 2T?

What is a good way to calculate RAM timings? Someone helped me before with my current two stick Flare X, and indeed it doesn't work as well with XMP profile, but works fine with custom timings.

It should do fine.  You'll definitely have to raise SoC voltage up a bit to compensate for 32 GB's/4 DIMMs.

1T timings run as default when clocking with 2 DIMM's (tighter).  It's also known as command rate.  4 DIMM's requires 2T, which is more relaxed.

I don't have 4 sticks to test, but you should be able to use the Ryzen DRAM Calculator just fine.  Just set it appropriately for B-die and 4 dimms, and see what values it returns.  It might return tighter values, but at that point, relax the timings a bit more till it gets stable.

Ah, I had issues with running Ryzen DRAM calculator in Wine on Linux in the past (basically it didn't work). I'll give it a try again.

Don't use Wine.  Use it from Windows...

No Windows :) I'd rather file a Wine bug if it still doesn't work.

The author really should open source it, and someone can rewrite it without .NET. There is no point to keep it closed.
