ASUS Crosshair VII and RAM instability

Greetings,

 

Have a slight issue and wanted to poke about if perhaps someone else has had similar experiences with system instability. And I think I may have shot myself in the foot a bit there with the selection.

MB: ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi)

CPU: Ryzen 2700x

RAM: Trident Z -> f4-3200c14d-32gtzr

 

Whilst the memory is not present in the QVL, as much as I read about that people have managed to somewhat work things out in similar situations, but more often than not with the 16GB variant. Running it at 3200 is definitely not an option, whilst the system does boot, there are points when memory usage starts to become heavier that things like BSOD and application crashes happen within 10 to 15ish minutes. At stock 2133 things get a bit weirder. Whilst not necessarily BSOD, applications still seem to love to die every now and again, not as frequently thankfully. More often than not it manifests in the way of graphics driver crashes. (MSI RX 480 8GB). 

 

Honestly just fishing for ideas at this point if there is a way around it other than looking into purchasing different memory.

Alright, took a few days to try and see if it resolved it but sadly to no avail. Whilst no outright BSOD, applications still occasionally just close or crash (AutoCAD, Warframe, World of Tanks).

As far as I can tell, yes. At least according to the manual, 2/4 is the recommended combination.

Edit:

Apparently 2304 Bios plus GDM disable and 3200 OC profile seem to have made it stable. At least for the time being.
