Unstable memory on ryzen 1600, 3200mhz 16gb

[Admiré]

So I've recently upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2x8, @3200MHz and I'm getting occasional bluescreens and Battlefield 5 crashing to the desktop. I have a ryzen 1600 and an Asus prime B350-mobo. I set the D.O.C.P profile to 3200mhz and the timings are set to 16-18-18-38. When I go to the timings section in the BIOS it says that the cas latency is set to 16,

trcdrd:18

trcdwr: 18

DRAM RAS# PRE Time: 18

DRAM RAS# ACT Time: 38

So basically it says 16-18-18-18-38, in that order. Is that set up properly then if it's rated for 16-18-18-38? I ran a memtest with the ram set to both 3200mhz and 3133mhz and I got errors in both of the tests. I'll provide images so you know exactly what I mean. I didn't test to see if battlefield 5 crashed when I set the speed to 3133mhz, but I recon if it got errors in the memtest its still not gonna work. 

I read somewhere that I should overclock my CPU to make it run @3200MHz stable. Does that sound right or is it just a load of bull? Oh and the ram is: g.skill rip jaws V, 2x8GB @3200MHz

 

This has been driving me nuts, I even tried doing a clean windows install but to no use. Could it be that the system needs to be in UEFI mode only? I don't know, it's just a guess.

reset your bios .

maybe there is an error

You mean clear the CMOS or?

Yes, and then update your bios .

this should solve the problem

Ok, but the last time I cleared the CMOS it didn't remove the newest version of the BIOS. Did I do something wrong then because it solved my issue with the system not booting up.

just do that again

Fair enough

just reset and the update the bios

Clearing the CMOS does not remove the BIOS flashed onto the motherboard.

It reset the BIOS settings back to defaults.

 

Keep a current 16-18-18-38 timings for now, and drop the DRAM frequency by another level or two -- like DDR4 3000 or 2933.

Also, make sure the DRAM voltage is set properly.

 

If it still crashes, then you might have to run MemTest86 on the memory kit with stock DDR4-2133 settings.

If that fails too, then you have a faulty memory stick or kit.

Sounds like the reason I avoided AMD to begin with.

What timings do I set it to then if i set it to 2133MHz or 3000MHz? I want atleast 3000MHz. The whole reason I bought this kit was for the ram speed and the motherboard manufacturer specifically states that it supports up to 3200MHz

Two things I would recommend before reducing your speeds.  Actually three things.  First is make sure you used the correct RAM slots as indicated by the manual.  Second is set SOC voltage to 1.1V.  You may not need that much, but using a static voltage should help.  Third is increasing the DRAM voltage slightly.  I'm assuming it's at 1.35V so bump that up to 1.37V.

Set your RAM to default, it should run stable at DDR4-2133 with the JEDEC standard timings, at the very least.

Take small step first.

If stock JEDEC DDR4-2133 is not stable then you know your DRAM is defective from the factory.

 

The motherboard can handle up to DDR4-3200 MHz.

The RAM is rated for DDR4-3200 MHz.

BUT your CPU might not be able to handle DDR4-3200. AMD only guarantees up to DDR4-2666.

 

Anything beyond requires OVERCLOCKING the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) inside the CPU.
