Ryzen Ram Settings

hello Sup Forumsentoomen.
What RAM speed are you able to run on your Ryzen 7 setups? I just updated my bios to the latest revision, but I'm still only able to run my RAM at 2133Mhz. It won't POST with any speed higher than that. Motherboard is an ASUS B-350 PLUS. RAM is corsair vengeance 3200Mhz. Thanks.

RIP in peace, user. They make the worst AM4 boards aside from MSI.

I went with ASUS because of my experience with them in the past. I won't be making that mistake again

I've had pretty good luck with their high end. I've got my ram on my Ryzen 1700 up to 3466mhz with a 3200 kit.

Check to see if there are beta bios for the AGESA update, OP

Beta BIOS can potentially brick your shit, I'd say avoid.

why not just buy Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 ?
its literally the best B350 board on the market with top audio ALC1220
I'm holding it in cart, and stopping my finger to press Checkout every single day

i have a b350 asus board on my r5 1600.
im running my ram at 3200mhz.
ram issues with ryzen have pretty much been fixed. update your bios. id it doesnt autodetect your ramspeedds select the D.O.C.P. profile for it. incedentally this will also enable XFR for your cpu.

>asrock
>1.0.0.6 update
>default XMP
>66mhz oc for some reason

just works

Using the standard configs given by MSI I could only use the 2933MHz one. Trying 3200MHz just put it in a boot loop.

What board?

What DIMMS are you using? does it matter? Timings?

Same here actually. Maybe a future bios update will actually allow us to use our fucking ram

got the SLI PLUS and the flare x 3200 CL14 kit

I paid a premium price(specially that i live in eastern europe,kill me) but at least it werkd out-of-the-box.

Also OC'd the 1800x easily to 4.0, but it crashed at 4.1 in cinebench, i mean it's still like the cheapest x370 mobo

im using vengeance lpx 16gb kit with 8gigs each.
i dont actually know my timings. when i installed the system my ram would not go past 2400 mhz so i updated my bios and then it recognized the ram properly and then i just selected the docp profie that it offered me for my ram which made it run at 3200mhz and enabled XFR for me.

Got 16GB of 3200MHz b-die, wouldn't boot at 3200 stock but I'm having no problems OCing them up to at least 3866 (Haven't finished testing) by bumping my SoC to 1.2V. If you're having trouble that's one of the first things I'd do, it boosts the voltage on the memory controller and improves memory compatibility/reliability.
My crosshair vi hero says hi.

what the fuck are you talking about?MSI has like the best mobos for the prices they ask for, not to mention the BIOS patches they deliver are well-tested.

Currently tweaking timings and voltage to get corsair vengeance stable at its XMP supported 3200mhz. Currently running 2933mhz rock solid on crosshair hero.

Got 2133 corsair RAM for 200 bucks 32GB, runs at 2400mhz same latencies, that's Asrock quality boards for you.

>Assrock
I hope they don't drop support for your motherboard after 4 months too.

3200Mhz on a gigabyte AX370 gaming 5 since F6 BIOS
2933Mhz before that

3866? jesus that's almost double my speed

It probably also cost nearly double though ;_;

Do you notice any performance benefits?

Can't say yet, I only upgraded my rig to ryzen 2 days ago. In multithread optimized benchmarks I was definitely getting a decent boost in performance from 3200 -> 3866, my scores went up from the high 1500s to high 1600s/low 1700s in cinebench and my y-cruncher times on average went down a bit, from ~4s to compute 50m to ~3.6s. I'm running at 1440p anyways so I probably won't get the nice boost in performance you'd get with 1080p.

I think he is referring to the vrms, because msi didnt use the best quality. Im still loving my msi board tho.

Alright guys, since I haven't been upgrading my machine for a couple of years it's time again. I don't give a fk about gaming that's why I will go for a Ryzen 1600 and overclock it.

Now, you motherfuckers seem to know more about it.
1. Which AM4 motherboards are good and not too pricy?
2. I read that its recommended to go with the fastest RAM. True?
3. Let's say Ill buy a mid range GPU like a 1060 or the AMD equivalent. What kind of a PSU do I need to overclock my Ryzen? Are 550 watts enough?

Good to see im not the only one. I got it ine setting iver 2400 stabke but its LPX 3000. There is a new BIOS F5 for my board, GB B350. Maybe that will fix it.

>1. Which AM4 motherboards are good and not too pricy?

That is too vague - pricy is only in relation to your needs. Somehow - from your phrasing - I doubt you know what you need and that by definition means you don't need x370 boards and thus should be looking at B350 boards.

> I read that its recommended to go with the fastest RAM. True?

Fast ram is always a good thing but if you aren't gaming (and haven't specified what other software you use) then at face value get whatever the fuck.

> Are 550 watts enough?

If its a quality unit and not a shanghai street special, sure.

for ryzen fast ram is great since cpu performance scales with ram speed due to the architecture relying on the new kinds of chipsets that do some wizardry for you. any b350 motherboard is really enough for gayman. i do recommend msi, gigabyte or asus though. 550w is enough really. though you might get into trouble if you decide to add a second graphicscard. that being said sli or crossfire scaling are bullcrap and bad and if you decide to upgrade to a singular more powerful card in the future youre set, power requirements usually go down in future generations and efficiency usually goes up. just dont skimp on the powersupply its your lifeblood and safetynet. be sure to get one with surge protection and as many safety features as you can get, be quiet and corsair are always safe bets for powersupplies.

>msi, gigabyte or asus

Literally the three brands that offer the worst AM4 boards.

>That is too vague - pricy is only in relation to your needs. Somehow - from your phrasing - I doubt you know what you need and that by definition means you don't need x370 boards and thus should be looking at B350 boards.
Just programming and some music production
>Fast ram is always a good thing but if you aren't gaming (and haven't specified what other software you use) then at face value get whatever the fuck.
Since low latency is important in music production, I guess fast RAM will be crucial for me
>If its a quality unit and not a shanghai street special, sure.
Does SeaSonic still make good PSUs?

>Just programming and some music production

Then whatever - your board isn't going to be relevant unless you are overclocking (which you have not specified) or need a million drives.

Ive been reading everrywhere that overclocking the 1600 is totally worth it. I don't want to overdo it..

you dont have to oc now.
do i like 2 or 3 years from now down the line.
any am4 motherboard will allow you to oc a ryzen since theyre all unlocked and amd requires it of their manufacturer partners.

What the fuck. I have the same board and RAM, updated my BIOS, and selecting 3066 for my RAM frequency causes it to boot loop.

>is your cpu overlocked?
>what slot are your tam sticks in?

>ram

No, A2 and B2.

i just dont get why most am4 boards are so ugly

I just got a Ryzen CPU and apparently it's only running at 1.55 Ghz
B350 MATE motherboard

what am I supposed to do?

you might have a bad broad or ram

try to reset your bios by removing the the black on pic related.

>black cap
shit I can't type today.

>1.55 Ghz
Ram or cpu?

CPU
Ryzen 1700
It runs games well enough though

This, but my mobo is gigabyte, im using Ryzen 5, and im using g.skill RAM with Samsung B-die

>Spent a fortune to buy a B-die
>Still get 2133

JUST

That's weird, I didn't even know you could get them to run that slow if you wanted to.
And I'm interested because I'm considering the b350 Mate.

What does the BIOS say?

>amd
>meme
>poorfag
pick three

Not really. I payed about 120 plus 20 in shipping for all my parts

>What does the BIOS say?
is it's a uefi? if yes then you're a faggot

I got a Ryzen 7 1700 , with 2x8 Corsair 3000 kit
runs on 2933 with no problems what so ever.
And the board is x370 Asus prime pro

>is it's a uefi?
Yes, you can say bios to refer to uefi if you are not an autist.

wrong board

>Containment leak
>redpiller
>shill
Pick three

look here
I have the same cpu, ram, but I run it at 3066

look here

You do realize there are C14, C15 and C16 versions of that ram right?
They all look the same.

I hope the memory of this post is the last thing you think of when dying in your Intel house fire.

I have c15

Nevermind just me being an idiot
no problems as long as you don't overclock the ryzen 7. You shouldn't anyway, since the gains aren't that good.

Highest i can get on a c16 set of corsair vengence (3200 mhz) is 2800 without endless bootlooping

Let me guess you bought asus, msi, or gigabyte?

GB B350 Gaming 3 + R5 1600 + LPX 3200

Even with the latest F5 BIOS I can only get the RAM to run at 2933. 3200 will boot sporadically; most of the time it just loops. Once it boots it's completely stable though.

Haven't tried bumping up the SOC voltage from the default 1.1V.

>tfw when you bought an Asrock board
>tfw everything just works

B350 tomahawk here. Still can only get 29990. I thought the latest agesa shit would finally get shit up to 3200.

Up to 2666MHz. Anything more and you're just wasting money really.

This is why I won't buy ryzen yet.
I don't wanna fuck around finding a mobo that actually works
And I don't want to mess around trying to get ddr4 working.

Once ryzen gets 4,500mhz ddr4 support, I'll buy a 1700x

Get an ASRock.
>4500 MHz
You hit diminishing returns well before that.

At my work we use Team Group memory which isn't recognised by XMP and the default settings stop the boards from booting.
However if I manually put the timings, voltages etc. it works perfectly. Have you tried that?

Pic related, it's the ram we use, 16GB 3000mhz for the same price as 2133 Crucial/Patriot ram here in Australia.

4500MHz RAM? You only need about half that.

My Crosshair VI is pretty good.
With AGESA 1.0.0.6, everything works perfectly.
I'm running my G.Skill 3200C14 at it's XMP settings.

Asus does make a few mistakes on their trimmed down "GAMING PRO" boards, but their top and low-mid tier boards are very good.

Ryzen tops out at a theoretical 4000MHz by the inherent design of the memory controller.
This is a realistic limit of 3933MHz, which has only officially been achieved by ONE hardcore overclocker.

2933 on the x370 titanium meme msi motherboard.
the most overpriced motherboard on the am4 market.

Get this. My ram is running at full speed (3200mhz) on this board.
All I had to do was update the BIOS.

The memory controller is on the cpu

>tfw when you bought an Asrock board
>tfw it just went EOL a few months after release

>tfw tomahawk
should have waited for the fucking taichi

>tfw it just went EOL a few months after release
which one?

differently not pic related

Aside from infinity fabric seeming to like higher frequency RAM, what is the advantage of having 4000MHz?

Not much.
Some scientific applications benefit from it.

That's complete horse shit though. The Crosshair VI is rivalled only by the Taichi. The Prime X370-Plus has the best VRM setup of any mid-range board. The Prime B350-Plus is the best value of the budget boards.

MSI's B350 boards are also better than most. It's only the Xpower Platinum that's a complete piece of shit.

>when you bought a gigabyte k5 motherboard and it boot loops when you enable xmp

Everyone told be buying fast 2400mhz ddr3 was dumb.
And now a Sandy bridge CPU preforms drastically better with 2400mhz ddr3 vs the standard 1333/1600mhz back then.
Faster ram has far better longevity
Removing bottlenecks later on.

i have a msi b350 pc mate and it boot loops if i set the ram anything higher than 2800mhz, no matter if set it manually or use xmp.

>What RAM speed are you able to run on your Ryzen 7 setups?
RAMMING SPEED

>gigabyte k5
theres your problem. the gaming 5 doesnt have this problem

I also have the K5, the XMP is straight up broken and the EZTune RAM OC sets it to retarded timings. I would strongly recommend overclocking RAM manually, set your DRAM voltage to 1.35, then set your memory speed and timings. One thing I noticed is it doesn't like odd numbers, I have CL15 RAM but I had to set it to CL16 to get it to work.

asrock.com/MB/AMD/Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4/index.asp#Specification

I have this mobo, but no idea what the mumbo jumbo is on the memory slot crap mentioned on there.

Was just planning on buying the 32gb 3200 Quad kit that is on the QVL list, but wondering if I'm missing something and shooting myself in the leg by doing 3200 period and/or using a quad kit. I'm not above using 2666, but alot of the 3200 kits are about the same price as the 2666's.

MSI Gaming Pro B350 +
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 (C16)
Got it up to 2933. Sometimes a reboot causes it to loop once. 3200 won't boot at all. Worst of it all is I bought two sets but only one fits. So I have 16 gigs of 3200 memory sitting in their box.

Also is SS worst then DS?

>K4
RIP in peace, ASSCock released a new revision of your motherboard and moved the K4 to EOL without telling anyone (Check google for forum/leddit posts). I'd try to return/refund the board if I were you.

Nevermind, you guys have B350s, I'm dum.

Still appreciate the (you). You have any advice to the question though? Now I'm scared that I can only use 2400 quad kit according to that memory specification I linked.

Anyone here using the G.Skill Flare X RAM? How's it been treating you?

>Asrock shill everywhere
glad builzoid show me the light

yes, it's working as it should, and expected

Didn't overclocked it though

How the bios on that board

Thats good. I ordered the 16gb 3200 recently. Was going to get Trident Z but apparently the Flare X provided the best optimal performance for Ryzen.
