Asrock phantom 4 unstable memory

   I would try with XMP disabled for a week or so, if it's stable and doesn't have
any issues then it's likely not the board, maybe the CPU. If it is still unstable 
however, it could be the board or the CPU. If the board is under warranty at that
point then you can try an RMA. It sounds like you will have problems RMAing the
3700x. It may be worth contacting AMD directly and seeing if you have any options.

	Couldn't find the edit button :) Yeah its been a horrible ride so far. i know its not the most premium x570 board out there, sadly it was the only available at the time of purchase.

	A2 and B2 populated as pr dokumentation. yeah im using the XMP profile, not tried disabled. Ryzen 3700x with Corsair H75 AIO Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 G.skill Trident Z neo 2x16Gig EVGA GTX 1070 Ti EVGA 750Watt supernova G2 Samsung 970 Evo NWME SSD WD black SN750 1Tb SSD Seagate 4TB HDD I previously had a 3900x, but didnt utilize it enough, so traded with a friend for the 3700x. Also had a ton of issues with the 3900x, BSOD, Whea errors and so on. Still suspection the motherboard to the culprit as it has gotten better with Bios revisions, but i dont know if its the asrock part or the AMD EGESA Combo microcode.

	Ouch, it sounds like you have been through the ringer. Please excuse me stating the obvious here in my suggestions, I have to make sure the basics have been covered. Are you installing the modules in slots A2 and B2? Are you running XMP and have you tried testing with it disabled? What are your full system specs including PSU brand and model? As for QVL lists, I never rely on the ones on board product pages, they tend to be only a small sampling and never get updated with new kits. I always use the QVLs on the RAM product pages, as I notice you did with GSkill. Its challenging for motherboard manufacturers to test every possible RAM kit out there but much easier for a RAM manufacturer to test with a handful of boards from each manufacturer. Generally, if RAM works on one ASRock (or other brand) XXX chipset based board it will work on all of the boards from that manufacturer with that chipset. I suspect the issue isn't the board (and not because this is the ASRock forum). The fact that you have consistently had issues with so many different kits suggests the issue lies elsewhere. Honestly, if I were you I would try to borrow another Ryzen CPU to test with your setup. A bad/marginal IMC on the 3700x seems a likely suspect given the information in your post.

	Hey Asrock Boards Im going out of my mind here, i just cant get my Ryzen build stable. Ive gone through 5 memory Sets so far, things are getting more stable, but still bloody anoying. 2 sets 2x8Gig Corsair LPX kits. (cant remember models) 1 set 2x8 Gig G.skill FlareX F4-3200C16D-16GFX 1 Set 2x8 Gig KVR32N22D8/16 kit (on Asrock QVL list) 1 set 2x16Gig F4-3200C16D-32GTZN (board is on G.skill QVL list) kit models on QVL are silly and most are not available for purchase. Motherboard ASrock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 running Bios 4.00 Ryzen 3700X running stock profiles. Latest few bios iterations have made it better, from 10-15 Bsod's each day to a few each week, tho games and apps have a tendency to crash. Not really sure what to do not, its getting really anoying. Throw the motherboard out the window and buy a new? Give up on the ryzen 3700x (hope not as i love the cpu when its not crashing)
