AMD response to AGESA/BIOS query.

guys
may i suggest something

there is a thread/topic over on overclcokers specifically with ram timings achieved

a great deal of time has been spent testing ram on x399 by a guy called chew (brian maclochlan)

he has a taichi but the findings will apply well enough to add to your skills and efforts im sure

he has also proven that like ram chips and like cpus not all imc's are created equal

compounded by swapping out exact same spec cpus in a system and finding one just cant run the ram at the same settings as the other

@ sonic
with your ram ,and your skills and time
i would expect you can find the missing ingrediant after reading though that thread and making a few notes to gain 3200 stable

chew has even posted exact screenshots of samsung b dies with safe timings and fast timings

its really worth the read mate

But given the amount of time I've already invested (and that this is not my first platform based on ZEN) I have my doubts if I reach higher...  Maybe (just maybe) with some timings from chew I might be able to squeeze another step stable (3066 that is) but this is really a hair-thin thing. Anyway - I'll give it a shot on the weekend where I will need to stay home anyway (on-call duties in the IT sometimes really suck ;-) ).

i dont know how much help it is

but

there is a lot of happy people also using the ryzen ram calculator program

ive got high hopes it may also help with x399 settings (seeing as at deep levels its just two ryzens)

there is a lot of help by the author as well
maybe say hello to 1usmus over on his support thread and ask how suitable it is for assisting with TR
http://www.overclock.net/t/1640919/ryzen-dram-calculator-overclocking-dram

ive just read a reply from the calculator author (1usmus)

he advised the calculator will work with threadripper

may i suggest trying them at 'safe' suggestions first check its stable then trimming them down to either chews findings or the calculators fast settings step by step

chew has put a fantastic amont of effort and real world testing into amd platforms

but its hard to get all data from his findings in one place
(eg he'll post a ryzen timing checker screenshot but may lack procodt or volts that he used)

a great mind with too little time to babysit all of us i presume

Ok guys... and gals... and girls (in case there are any on this forum - drop me a PM ! :-P  ).

shame to hear you didnt get any further sonic

i really had high hopes with your attention and the help of chew and 1usmus that you could be a frontrunner with the x399 regarding ram

it seems
the threadripper is in infancy much the same along its timeline as ryzen was with its own timeline

(you would assume lessons learnt from ryzen by both amd and the board partners would have assisted greatly with threadripper at launch........it appears not )
