 With BIOS 2.5 my RAM is now running @3066 MHz @ CL16-16-16-36 (G.Skill RipJaws V 16GB (2x8), Dual-Rank, Samsung E-Die Chips, (F4-3200C16D-16GVK)).
DRAM Voltage @ 1,35 V SoC Voltage @ Auto (should be 1.1 V) With 3200 Mhz the PC boots but Windows crashes with a bluescreen. With BIOS 2.4 only 2666 Mhz were possible. Greetings DarkbladeX

| Very bad experience here with HX426C15SBK2/32 DS. On 2.40, even though not reaching 2666 MHz CL15, it was stable on 2400 MHz CL14 via XMP profile. Now on 2.50 can't reach even this, defaulting to 2133 MHz. Once successfully booted at 2400 and slightly higher voltage but couldn't reproduce. Rolling back to 2.40 :( It was supposed to have better compatibility, not worse... |

got 2933 now. ripjaw V 2x8gb 3200mhz kit "F4-3200C16D-16GVRB" . I set XMP but then put it to 2133. walked up to 3066 but was not stable, will not post at 3200. seems stable sofar at 2933. Note just setting it to 2933 did not work i had to post at each setting below going up 1 step at a time starting at 2133. |

All of you guys having RAM stability issues should manually set the SOC voltage to Fixed mode @ 1.1V with LLC level 2. Then leave all other memory settings to whatever your XMP profiles defaults are. It's also worth noting that you NEED to reset your BIOS to defaults and power cycle the board after failing any RAM OC at POST, including XMP profiles, due to a BIOS bug. (Not even kidding) You could be trying to boot with an actual stable RAM OC but it wont POST because you failed the last POST. AMD suggests settings the SOC to 1.1V for memory stability. By default my board (x370 gaming pro) has a 0.95ish dynamic SOC voltage by default. Forcing the fixed 1.1V solved all of my memory stability issues. It's worth a shot. For reference I'm running @ 3334MHz tested stable. |

| I was aware of having to power cycle the board. I tried setting the SoC as recommended, but it didn't help me. 2933 MHz isn't bad, but I'd love to get to 3600. Maybe the next AGESA... |

Date Posted: 09 Jun 2017 at 6:50am

i tried increasing both SOC and DRAM voltage. SOC to 1.1 and DRAM to 1.45. and 2t command rate SOC LLC was set to lvl 3 though i also tried changing the timings a little bit. without luck i was not aware of the power cycle thing, so ill try that next

| I just got word from ASRock that the Gaming K4 cannot exceed 2,933 MHz, period. I could have sworn the specifications once listed higher speeds, but on the website, they now list 2,933 as the fastest memory the board will support. I'm a bit disappointed, but can live with it, I guess. |

I question the reply you received. Ryzen will not clock memory to 2800, 3000, and IIRC 3400. These are/were referred to its memory "holes'. I'm left with the feeling you were misinformed. edited |

Yea. I just went to rymem to check. There are CPU-z Validations of higher speeds than 2933 on the Gaming K4. |

It was my understanding that the AGESA 1.0.0.6 code removed these memory holes, allowing the Ryzen IMC to run these speeds. |

Hi, I have G-skill F4 3200C16D-32GTZA CL16-16-16-36 Mhz and after the update, I'm able to run stable at 2933 MHz. At 3200 Mhz system will boot but crash sooner or later. It's improving but still. If anybody can suggest something that would be awesome. If not I think we all have to wait for Agesa 1.0.0.7

Ingeresting why is that, as per spec, 2900+ (yes, plus sign) means it could go higher... The same applies to any other board, like AB350 GK4 which can go higher than 3200, het again this + ... The interesting and not really nice thing here is that EVERY other x370 or AB350 from asrock actually lists 3200+, the only and single exception is x370 GK4, which I have... Now finding this out leaves me dissapointed, I have bought the only board which does not do 3200+, huh :( I'll try new bios, let's see how well that fares, currently no more than 2667... P.S. I could have sworn the same, I really think back when I ordered one it listed as 3200+... Strange... |
Posted By: KLU
Date Posted: 09 Jun 2017 at 2:03pm
| Yeah, it's just ridiculous when you buy more expensive X370 over AB350 to get more features or higher OC capabilities. Then you look at the website and see that AB350 has 3200 and X370 has only 2933 support. And the '+' after is very misleading too! |

With old bios, I was able to overclock my 3200mhz RAM to 2666mhz only. Any higher and it will fail to boot. With latest bios 2.50 with AGESA 1.0.0.6, I'm now able to overclock it to 2933mhz stable. It also boots @ 3200mhz, but my games would crash when I try to run it.

Overclocking of P-State 1 & 2 doesn't work in 2.5.0 BIOS!. It doesn't boot and I have to reset CMOS. Overclocking of P-State 0 and undervolting of P-State 1 & 2 still works.

Like I said before I have G-skill F4 3200C16D-32GTZA CL16-16-16-36. I was happy with the new Bios but it seems not stable for me. It looks like 2933 Mhz was sweet spot but after some testing with prime 95 computer shut down itself. I couldn't boot after Every time getting strange C0 error. After few restarts, I finally managed to boot and reloaded Bios 2.40. At 2666 Mhz everything is OK. Should I change memory or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated

So I tried BIOS v. 2.50, for me that was a total downgrade, w/ 2.4 I could go 2666 easy, now with 2.5 I can boot (reliably) only 2133, anything above that goes to beep-beep-beep and back to 2133. Total disappointment. W/ 2.5 I booted 2933 ONCE (not more), no way doing that again, because it won't work 99% of time. Options in BIOS (compared to 2.4) are somewhat more, but that really does not matter if I can't boot > 2133 (at least for me). I tried SOC voltage 1.1 + DRAM up to 1.375, it does not help at all. Re-flashed BIOS back to 2.4, 2666 easy again, no voltage adjustments needed or anything else, so, Asrock please, take our feedback and fix this. Thanks in advance. |

So I did not resist. My Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 are at 2.50 to 2400 MHz without tuning, 2666/2933/3200 without POST (2.40 = 2933 MHz) :-( But I will stay at 2.50. Modified disk behavior, my SSDs are no longer detected as removable USB flash drives. At 2.40, disconnected spontaneously SSD disk twice. And reduce POST time on 16.3s (2.40 = 19.6s) |

I have a 16GB kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16). The new UEFI (2.50) on my Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 allowed my kit to boot at XMP (16/18/18/36) settings at 3200MHz. However, it's very very unstable. Forcing the command rate to T2, disabling Gear Down Mode and Power Down Enable made it slightly more stable, but DOOM crashes almost instantly. Dropped the speed to 3066 on the exact same settings, it was a little more stable, but some applications still crashed. So I dropped the timings to 18/18/18/36/T2. So far it looks "ok", but yeah, might not have found an app that crashed just yet. Really hope for a more stable update next time. I really wish I can use my RAM properly and it seems SOOO close. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/8pc7db" rel="nofollow">

I would like to clarify that these memory modules Samsung M378A1K43CB2-CRC for example on asus boards without problems pursue to 3600 and sometimes higher. although I think you know it ),is easy very much like on my Board to conquer these frequencies.

After reading the recent posts, I had no hope for v2.50... v2.10 would do 2666mhz with no issue, but I took the plunge and my kit works just fine w/ v2.50 @ 3000... Kit is F4-3000C15D-16GVR (GSkill)  I didn't do anything strange...just loaded the XMP profile and rebooted. I did notice the CAS# Latency is rated @ 15 on my stick but XMP chose 16. I gamed a little bit yesterday and did some benchmarking and no reboots or bluescreens, so I'm just going to keep rocking it until it proves to be unstable. |

So, I have made some little progress... My CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 seems to run 2800 w/ new bios. I reset my bios using jumper and set all manual options under CBS settings to auto, there were some set to manual by default. System booted fine for at least 3 times and games my kid plays, e.g. rocket league work fine. Please note that I run Linux almost exclusively. So after all, there seems to be some improvement. |

" rel="nofollow - To the OP. Please don't start screaming bloody murder causing panic. Explain your issues with YOUR setup. Don't just start saying ASRock shame on you this is super unstable etc. etc. It's a case by case. My RAM set identified as 2400MHz Crucial Ballistix is advertised as 2666MHz. I could hit 2666MHz since the beginning, but could not get it to post beyond it. I was hoping for 2933MHz, because that's the limit at which review sites could overclock the kit a few years ago with decent timings. I did this just now in a few mins, and I'm freaking happy as a clam. As for others not being able to overclock as high as the previous BIOS release, just revert back, what's the big deal? Newer doesn't always mean better with BIOS. Anyways, great stuff, I'm happy with my specific setup. FREE performance. Cheers y'all, now to test stability. |

Thanks ShampooCA, you hit the nail on the head The issues with RAM compatibility and speeds is not a simple one. It is unreasonable to expect any motherboard manufacturer to stock multiple RAM kits from every available model to test with. All you have to do to see how ridiculous that is is go to something like newegg and search DDR4 memory. There are thousands of kits out there from dozens of brands in hundreds of models. Worse than even that is the fact that you can often find different memory chips on the same model of RAM because they are manufactured perhaps a month apart and the memory manufacturer had to use what they had available. I have seen seemingly identical kits contain completely different memory chips. What we are seeing is about a 50% success rate using AGESA 1.0.0.6 on the forums, that means the success rate is likely higher as people are more inclined to mention a failure than a success. AMD is working hard to rectify the issues via AGESA and motherboard partners are further trying to smooth things over with tweaks. It is fairly easy to forget that the AM4 platform is still in it's infancy. It is unfortunate that it released using a preexisting memory standard that was already tuned for another platform. If it had released with a new standard (DDR5?) then these issues would likely not have happened. Memory manufacturers can't change their RAM tuning and timings on modules already in the wild and board manufacturers certainly can't be expected to test every memory model in existence. This results in a very trial and error testing methodology over at AMD. It will eventually get sorted and AGESA 1.0.0.6 seems to be a step in the right direction. Even for those it made things worse, there are less of you complaining than there were with the last AGESA release. Progress  -------------

Hi im new! I buy this board.... i have an R7 1700X, now I find myself investigating what memories put it since I see that there are very few kits that work at more than 3000mhz ... Would you be kind enough to tell me the model of your memories? Thank you! And sorry for my English.

Hi, first of all, don't be sorry for your English. If it comes to the right kit of RAM for that board it is hard to say. I personally tested 2. One from G-skill and the other from Corsair and with the BIOS 2.50 I had no luck what so ever. I'm having problems to boot up my system and if I'm lucky enough to do so it is very unstable. I'm with BIOS 2.40 right now and at 2666 Mhz my 32 GB kit from G-skill works fine. All I can do is wait for another BIOS and hope it will work.

Hi i using the same kit to test the board... and no luck to put at 3200mhz... any aditional setting? In 3066 works fine. Using 2 sticks. Using 4 work at 2933mhz.
Yep now im testing the kit Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) using 2 stiks work at 3066mhz Cl 18 Using 4 at 2933mhz cl 16. But i no test on windows only in bios. |

If you've got all 4 slots populated and are at 32GB I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for higher speed support. Normally when you have that large amount of RAM the trade off is speed. I believe AMD and board partners have already written about speed limits with 32GB of RAM and all slots populated. Using all 4 RAM slots has always come with a caveat in consumer boards since way way way back. It's unfortunate, but these are still mainstream boards. High capacity RAM support is more of an enterprise level requirement. |

With higher CPU clock i gets slightly unstable, memtest is ok but Prime gives me errors after a few seconds. 3066 (14,14,14,32,45 1T) is stable with CPU on 3.9 @ 1.3V I had to test a lot to get it stable though By default SOC was at ~1.088V when i set the ram to XMP 3066. To resolve the slight instability/few memtest errors i (in steps) increased SOC to 1.2V , RAM to 1.4V and CPU up to 1.4V , set 2T (Geardown diabled).... All this not did make the system stable. Then i tried lowering the SOC and i ended up with SOC 0.9V and a system stable @ 3066 ------------- ASRock X370 Taichi, AMD Ryzen 7 1700X @ 3,9 , Noctua NH-D15 2x16GB G.Skill F4-3200C14D-32GTZ @3200 14-13-13-26-42 1T GearDown Enabled MSI Geforce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G |

This was addressed by a moderator in the earlier pages, 2 or 3. Anyways, this is the RAM I have, so it can be added to the QVL list. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/blt8g4d26afta Given what it's rated for and the price I paid before DDR4 skyrocketed, ($105 CAD), I'm extremely happy. I'll try 3066MHz later tonight. That would be pretty cool, even though no real performance benefits. From the tests done on gaming sites, 3200MHz is a big jump in performance from 2933MHz. 2667MHz to 2933MHz isn't as large of a performance jump, but I'll take what I can get. Edit: forgot to add I have a Ryzen 1700@3.85GHz 1.344volts LLC level 3, SOC voltage 1.0 AUTO LLC (level 5), and my RAM kit above is a 16GB kit 2x8GB in the slots recommended by ASRock, I think 2nd and 4th moving away from the CPU socket. XMP profile was set on and RAM speed set to 2666MHz initially after BIOS update, then went for it and hit 2933MHz no problem. :)
I believe the timings are 16-17-17-etc etc. |

What I understad is theya re talking about the holes that ryzen has in general as follows; ryzen will not clock the memory at 3000 but 2933, it wont do 2800 it will do 2666 etc etc. It's even listed on the memory QVL as follows Note1: Each RAM whose frequency is 3000 will downgrade to 2933 with Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X. Note2: Each RAM whose frequency is 2800 will downgrade to 2666 with Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X.I didnt see anything that states theres a pcb limitation. The next post even stated he sees ram above 3000 on rymen. EDIT: Sent PM to mod to clarify for us.

" rel="nofollow - Where is it said on either page anything like that? I explained what he meant already in terms of the chipset memory holes which are already well known. Nowhere is it stated that the other board has different VRM, Memory hardware design or pcb or that the k4 is not expected to be able to handle 3200 ram. Until you can provide a quote you are just spreading misinformation. The K4 board is the EXACT same board as the killer AC/SLI and multiple people have provided proof of hitting 3200 on ram on those boards. The K4 has better audio vs the Killer AC/SLI having a wireless chip. |

Wow! Have my two posts on page three been twisted or what? This happens a lot when folks don't read the entire thread and instead jump on the last post instead. Let the conjecture and rumors fly ............. I'm here to quash that conjecture and rumors. Due to Ryzen the processors internal architecture it is unable to use "Memory Clocks' of 2800MHz, 3000MHz, and 3400MHz. It is not, repeat NOT, any self induced limitation of any manufacturers Ryzen/AM4 motherboard. It is wholly the CPU itself that this is due to. I have known this since before Ryzens release. AMD reiterated this in a Community Update post by AMD themselves in Community Update #4 that addressed the additions of AGESA 1.0.0.6. https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/05/25/community-update-4-lets-talk-dram |

I'm sorry to tell You that this is not really true, I'll make a screenshot / photo of memory running 2800, I can not go higher than that currently or I just don't know how to do that, but I'm telling You, my CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 runs at XMP profile 2800, of course actual clock is 1400, but I assume we are talking DDR profile speeds here.

The information Wardog posted was correct prior to AGESA 1.0.0.6. This is one of the most major changes it adds, more dividers and better frequency support. From my testing so far the problem is that it is the first iteration of these changes and needs work. I am now able to get my system to post and even boot into the OS at 3600 on my Samsung B-Die 3600 kit but stability just isn't there. I can set the RAM to 2800, 3000 and 3400 but it is not stable past 3200. There is a lot of improvement introduced with AGESA 1.0.0.6 but as I said, it is clearly a first attempt to include more frequency support/dividers and as such is buggy. For many it is allowing higher frequencies, those going from say 2400 to ~2933 but for others it is a step back. This tells me that there are still issues in the code. Doubtless these will begin to be addressed as we move on to new AGESA versions. From what I have seen in testing, 1.0.0.4 was mostly stable and refined but supported a limited frequency range. 1.0.0.6 appears to be the next stage of development to now broaden the range and improve compatibility further. This is just my interpretation of the data I have collected however. I hope I am right and we will see some more consistent results in AGESA 1.0.0.7/8/9 etc. I am still testing with the Taichi but results should be mostly similar. -------------

OK this is all pretty damned lame on ASROCKs part. I was running an MSI B350 board that seems to be much better than this x370 board i thought would be an upgrad when i got it back in april. Now it turns out they made a better board because the k4 cant hit the mark that they said it would. I think we should all should RMA this board and get the X... ASROCK has always been my board of choice but this stinks

I guess the issue people are having here is the question of if this exact board (Gaming k4) is physically capable of hitting 3200 or more. I think we all understand with the AGESA BUT the rumors going around is that this board will not be able to do it regardless due to a pcb limitation and thats why the Gaming X board was made. Can we get clarification on that?

I wouldn't be too sure of that Xaltar. AMDs latest Community Update, #4, specifically addressing the AGESA 1.0.0.6 release, still supports what I believe and have been told. I'm left with assuming that although the BIOS may report as 2800, 3000, 3400 MHz, that I'm guessing tools like HWiNFO and or CPU-z may actually show those particular speeds to be lowered to the next lower "supported' MHz. Or ..... Using an OC combination of BCLK and mem MHz via XMP or manually is responsible. https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/05/25/community-update-4-lets-talk-dram

On my Taichi I am able to set 2800 and have it report as 1400 in CPUz as well as other monitoring apps, Aida64 benchmarks also produce results conducive to 2800 at CL16 timings. I wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't tested it personally That said, I am not sure what trickery may have been used to achieve it. I strongly suspect that 1.0.0.6 employs workarounds and trickery to bypass common Ryzen limitations. I could be wrong but the fact that it is running at 2800 (stable), reports correctly in monitor apps and performs in line with the same RAM at 2800 in my intel setups would lead me to believe that it is in fact working. Latencies are higher on Aida benchmarks but that holds true even with my 3600 kit @3200. I am still only getting started with my experiments though so I may be overlooking something (BCLK, multi or some such). Its certainly interesting. -------------

I asked sales via email what the difference is between the GAMING X and the GAMING K4. Specifically I asked about RAM speed support. They replied with "The layout spec are the same we just change the components so we going EOL the K4 and replace it by X. Thanks" My interpretation is that they both support speeds of 3200+ though it would be interesting to know exactly what components are changing. I guess time will tell Xaltar is able to verify if that is the case. |
