2700x memory errors with 3200mhz RAM

My setup is:
ASUS TUF B450M-Pro Gaming (BIOS ver. 2006, latest)

Ryzen 7 2700x

HyperX Predator DDR4 PC4-25600 HX432C16PB3K2/16 - 2 kits with 2 sticks each
When I'm using D.O.C.P. profile in BIOS for 3200mhz (16-18-18 timings, 1.35v) system becomes highly unstable, frequent BSODs, memory errors (15 of them at least; checking with Ryzen DRAM Calculator, Default preset). But with profile for 3000 mhz (15-17-17 timings) it gets a lot better (0 memory erros, although still BSODs happen once/twice per day).
How can I make it run without problems on 3200? Or is there hardware problem with mobo or RAM, how can I check it?

Final update:
If someone will stumble upon the same problem:
I've replaced motherboard to MSI X570-A Pro, RAM now working at XMP profile 2 (3200mhz) right from the box, without any additional tweaks involved. No BSOD's or errors in memtest (ryzen DRAM calculator).

Up your SOC voltages. By default, 1st and 2nd GN somewhat, have an issue with the SOC voltages being set to low on auto. Try at 1.1, and increment from there. You're safe to go up to 1.2v for 24/7 usage.

the mobo is pretty bad and the 2700x usually struggles running ram at 3200.

make sure you have ram in slots 2 and 4.

enable docp 3000, but manually lower frequency to 2933. you shouldn't have any more problems.

Well that's not true.  If anything they use too much on Auto.

The 2700X does not struggle at 3200MHz.  And OP is using 4 sticks.  That's his problem.

You're running an XMP profile for a 2 stick kit on 4 sticks.  That's the problem.  I'd try the Ryzen DRAM Calculator and use that to figure out settings for using 4 sticks of that RAM.  Or find a four stick kit of that RAM at that speed and see what its timings are.

missed OP has 4 sticks. try 2933 then. you can't run 4 sticks on 3200. even ryzen 3000 would struggle with that.

I can only speak to first-hand knowledge of the 2700X using higher than needed SOC voltage.  And I can't recall anyone else saying their specimens used too little SOC voltage on Auto.

4 stick kit uses the same timings.

SOC Voltage was already 1.1, will increase it a bit and see how it goes.

Will check what SOC voltage is set rn and follow your advice.

Yeah, I just found that the 4 stick kit uses the same primary timings though I don't know if it uses different secondary timings.  Also a 4 stick kit is validated together and that's why they're more ideal to buy.  

 

Try the Ryzen DRAM Calculator.  It's probably your best resource to start-off with.

Oh and get Ryzen Timing Checker:

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ryzen-timing-checker/

 

Paste a screenshot of all your timings and we might be able to offer advice based-off of that.

Excellent RTC looks to be reading your resistances correctly and I wanna say they're too low for a 4 stick kit but aren't sure.  The Ryzen DRAM Calculator can tell you what those should be.  

 

Also, have you tried increasing DRAM voltage?  And if you do increase SOC voltage I can't think of anyone reporting higher than 1.1V being helpful.  Using a hair higher than 1.1V can be helpful for counteracting droop, but probably nothing more.  

 

Edit:

I think I might be wrong about the resistance values.

Any way to know for sure what to select in "Memory type" in ryzen dram calculator? I know it's Hynix, but not sure which one of 3 options.
I've tried going up to 1.36, not higher, what level you could recommend?
Keeping my SOC at 1.1 then.

Edit: with 'SAFE' preset in Ryzen DRAM Calculator system fails to boot (one long and two short signals, memory problems) if 3200 mhz selected, but with 3000 seems to be able to post properly. Will run memory test rn.

Is this Mobo for 2700X?

With those settings from DRAM Calculator system fails to boot at 3200mhz. Boots without any problems at 3000mhz though. Any ideas?

Can mobo be an issue in this situation? I can switch to Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite tomorrow evening if it's definitely gonna help.

I have order exactly the same HyperX predator 3200Hz RAM with Asus Prime X570 Pro motherboard..

I will use Ryzen 7 2700X too. 

If the problem is not from motherboard but from Ryzen 7 2700X I will have exactly the same problem... 

Thanks for information!

I have the b350 version of this motherboard with a 2600 and it's impossible to get even 2 sticks of RAM running at the 3200mhz XMP profile.  Eventually got 3133mhz with a lot of tweaking but the easiest thing to do is downclock the RAM to 2933mhz which Zen+ can support by default and tighten the timings a bit.  I would recommend 14-17-17-34-54@2933mhz.

Interesting... Gonna wait for someone else drop in with info if it's mobo issue or @Lfc to confirm that everything works out of the box on x570 pro at 3200.

Thank you for telling me that tho, was worried that I might've had problematic RAM sticks.

The RAM is perfectly good! 

The problem perhaps is about Ryzen 7 2700X. This CPU never run RAM over 2933 Mhz!

Wait, you're sure about that? @nick name seemed to be pretty sure that 3200 is not a problem for 2700x

Depends whom you speak with. 

I'd validate much higher frequency than 3600mt/s if you so desired.

 

-Issues with Zen+

 

Motherboard/memory support on X-bios revision. X570 supports higher frequency RAM

CPU integrated memory controller support, definitely not 3600mt/s on Zen+, But it's doable.

Memory selection choice, lower tier, XMP ratings mainly tested on Intel, even the AMD QVL list is a wash.

 

Higher speeds on Zen+ will take a bit of time researching and tweaking/memory training the board and IMC to like your wishes. It's not just handed over.
