The person in the video seems very knowledgeable at what he does and this might just be the answer to why I cant get my so-call "Ryzen Compatible" kit to work at the speed as it's intended to work.

Hey gang, thought I'd jump in and share my memory experiences.

At launch, I bought the G.Skill FlareX 2400MHz 2x16GB kit.  From the very beginning I was able to run at 2933 18-18-18-39-1T.

I recently updated to the latest AGESA and swapped my RAM for the Galax HOF 3600MHz 2x8GB kit.  I haven't been able to get the board to boot at 3600, but I am running fully stable at 3466 18-18-18-38-1T.  I did test my original kit with the new BIOS and was able to return it to 2933 without issue.

Maybe I won the memory controller silicon lottery?

I have run a bunch of tests and here's the results.  I used 4 benchmark programs: User Benchmark, Passmark, Cinebench, and SiSoft Sandra.

First, a few observations.

I'm not going to report on Cinebench as its more about the CPU and the performance differences are within margin of error.

Of the other 3 utilities, User Benchmark reported a latency quite a bit higher than the other 2. Because the reported latency in Passmark and SiSoft were almost identical, I'm throwing out the User Benchmark results due to being slower by an average of 17ns (71.4 vs 57).

The last note is that all testing was done without closing any background tasks.  I wasn't super careful about the programs I had running, because I wanted my normal use to impact the results.  I usually had the following running actively or in the background: Chrome (14 tabs), Putty, Discord, WCG (tasks suspended), Hwinfo, Symantec, Origin, Steam, F-Stream Tuning, Razer, and Logitech.

Now for the results.  Each of the tests were run 5 times and averaged.  The performance comparisons are based on these averages.

G.Skill @ 2133 15-15-15-36-1T, BIOS 2.0
G.Skill @ 2933 18-18-18-39-1T, BIOS 2.0
Galax @ 3466 18-18-18-38-1T, BIOS 2.4

My 1800X was run at stock.  Only the SOC and DRAM voltages were adjusted.

By jumping from 2133 to 3466, performance improved by an astounding 209% in User Benchmark, 78% in Passmark, and 226% in SiSoft.

2933 vs 3466 naturally saw a less dramatic improvement.  21% in User Benchmark, 8% in Passmark, and 18% in SiSoft.

All in all, I'm super happy with the performance of my board.  Even with the small-ish performance increase by buying a new RAM kit, I think it was well worth the cost.

Well I still haven't gotten around to trying the 2x8GB9SAMSUNG NOT 'B' die) kit mixed with the 2x16GB(HYNIX) BUT I DID TRY 3033 yesterday since I had to reboot.

3033 APPEARED to be perfectly stable, passing c. 1h of prime95, few cinebench runs, but crashed somewhere in or around 3DMARK timespy.  I wasn't watching what happened, I just came back to a machine that had rebooted itself w/a bugcheck(inconclusive although I did NOT thoroughly investigate it).

Tried prime95 again for another hour, no errors.  Tried 3dmark spurious gfx error, retried ran fine.

Put it to sleep, leave it for some hours, try to wake and welp not happening.

Subtly unstable.  I suspect that similarly with it's 3200 rating that it needs more voltage(probably RAM/Vsoc) however I still did NOT bother with that.

One thing that I DID notice trying to switch back to my 2933 profile was that the UEFI would HANG when selecting to load the 2933 profile WITH 3033 settings enabled.  i.e. I could pick it but never would get the loaded dialog box and mouse/kb would be unresponsive.  To work around this I reset everything to defaults and THEN loaded the 2933 profile.

Additionally unlike the buildzoid video my subtimings for RAM at least on this 2x16GB HYNIX kit apparently default to perfectly reasonable numbers 6/9/39 IIRC.

Realistically at thispoint w/ R7 I'm just biding time for threadripper so I don't plan on spending much more time monkeying with R7/X370 as it's essentially a waste of my time.

I've tried just by turning on xmp profile so far and still no luck.
Think I'm gonna have to get to the nitty gritty part under the advance tab again and see what happens ?
How does it go for you so far?

Updated to it tonight and no real difference for me, still at R1700 at 3.8ghz and FlareX at 3333mhz 14-14-14.

Mojobagging which board and mem kit do you have ?
I spent another 2 hours lastnight and I could not get it to run pass 2400 on a 3200 kit. This is not right.

I said from previous post that I have not seen anyone who is able to get the ram (the kit i have) oc'ed at 3200 on fatality board  before and someone said there are several people on this forum are able to.

Where are those people  ?Confused

Hope this is correct forum thread. Completing install X370 Fatal1ty professional gaming. The AMD opening (splash?) screen stays on a long time awaiting the delete to enter and then finally goes into Windows. The manual shows options on the boot screen for "Setup Prompt timeout", Bootup Num-Lock, and Boot Beep as well as the "Full screen logo" but my boot screen has none of these options. Bios is 2.00. After reading these threads, no way am I going to try a Bios update. Any other ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance.
