    First gen Ryzen's are known to have issues with memory speed, maybe you could look to update the bios of you board to the latest BEFORE it was updated for Ryzen second gen.

    Honestly, I would wait until after the Zen 2/Ryzen 3000 launch to be updating BIOSes on older boards. With no Z2/R3K chips available yet, there's no way to test old boards and (ergo) no reason to update old boards. If you can, roll back to an older BIOS (I don't remember if ASUS lets you).
     
    In the meantime, what is your keyboard model and connection type? Maybe there's an issue there?

    its safe, might be unstabile unless you raise the voltage though and if you are still on auto timings those are bound to go to shit. use memtest 86 to test if its fine, id to at least 4 passes and if they are all error free it should be good

    no it won't hurt your mobo or shorten your rams life, don't feed it too much voltage or you might fry something. and yeah, memtest to test your ram for stability because instability tends to strike at the worst time and make for a bad day

    Some ram chips really hit the silicon lottery, like my 2133Mhz G.Skill chips that allowed an OC to 2800 before becoming unstable. Just watch your voltages.

    I have a 2x8GB kit of 3000MHz rated G.Skill (f4-3000c15d-16gvkb). I've tightened the timings from the stock 15-16-16-35 to 14-14-15-35, but needed 1.4v to be stable. I've also overclocked it to 3200 with 16-16-16-37 at 1.4v. I've spent the past several days running Memtest86 to verify stability with different timings. I tend to use the method mentioned in Comprehensive Memory Overclocking Guide. The Stress Testing (Validating Stability) section describes how to choose only test #6 with 10 runs. It usually takes about 20 minutes to do all 10 runs. I've also used the Custom Prime95 settings shown and run for 8 hours.
     
    Memtest86 will show the kits rated speed, regardless of what you've set in the bios. Just ignore that. CPU-Z is correct. If you can complete 10 passes of test #6 without any errors, then you're ram is stable. Sometimes it's not as easy as simply raising the frequency. It may boot, but it won't be stable.
