 I'm sure this will get deleted...
so your basically here to curtail specific awful motherboard issues,so Asrock doesnt get any bad news...   Well guess what, I could care less..  I'm not a kid, I'm 48 years old and work for my money and when I spend $250 on a motherboard I expect it to be a premium motherboard and expect it to work, especially when the memory I'm using is on Asrocks QVL list..., which it might as well be a brick because that memory specifically listed on Asrock qvl list does not work as intended or implied which is false advertising.... 

And I have taken it up with asrock, thank you..

and if this gets deleted I'll hit every social media outlet known to man and let them know how Asrock motherboards memory compatibility sucks..

 I could care less actually.. I'm wondering why one memory kit will work in two other much less expensive am4 boards but not in this (the most expensive) expensive premium Asrock board..

 I'm complaining about this $250 asrock board of mine and its bios updates and memory compatibility issues that cheaper motherboard manufacturers have already resolved.  The most expensive am4 board on the market and it has the less memory compatibility than boards costing less than half..

parsec wrote: Your example of the MSI board, does that run your memory at 3200 out of the box? Otherwise, what memory does it run at 3200?

That inexpensive msi board runs that gskill 3200mhz 16-16-16-36 like its meant to run, and it did it with a simple axmp option and it ran rock solid..

parsec wrote: So you believe that any DDR4 memory in existence will be perfectly Ryzen compatible?

Likely not all of it.. But when you can run the 3200mhz memory in two other much less expensive boards just fine, you would think a motherboard manufacturer charging $200-$250 for a motherboard could run comparable memory that isnt "amd specific" premium priced memory.. It seems like laziness to me..

parsec wrote: What does "barely run 3000mhz memory" mean?

Having to mess with voltage settings to get it to cold boot..

Well it didnt matter at all with my 16gb kit of gskill ripjawsV 3200mhz 16-16-16-36 memory as it would not boot at all, period, even with the other jedec speeds..  To add, The memory is fine as i used it in two other amd am4 b350 and x370 boards..  I ordered the amd specific flare-x which is completely stupid to me, as I had to order it because Asrock is being lazy with memory compatibility issues on these top end boards.. Asrock even says specifically on the x370 professional gaming web page, and I quote "Supports DDR4 3200+(OC)"  It should read  "supports some ddr4 3200+(oc)" get my drift...

 Thank you. Have a nice evening..

adding this in... The issue I have is, I paid $140 for this gskill 3200mhz 16-16-16-36 memory before the prices went up, now I find it odd I have to buy more expensive memory at $180 now for it to work in this most expensive on the market ($250) Asrock x370 board when that same memory would run perfectly fine in a $119 msi b350 board..    I just think Asrock is being lazy with the memory compatibility, is Asrock contracting that bios coding out?

Your example of the MSI board, does that run your memory at 3200 out of the box? Otherwise, what memory does it run at 3200?
