Hi all, Im looking for some help on overclocking my threadripper 1950x system memory. Ill post relevant screen shot information on what  i'm currently using and my parts list but any help would be greatly appreciated!! 

When i downloaded this gigabyte eassy tune application it only allows me to make changes to my system in this application. Inside my BIOS all voltages and other options are not able to be changed. 

CPU- Threadripper 1950x

MOBO- Gigabyte Designare x399

Memory- (please dont judge me) 2x16gb gskill aegis & 4x8gb Gskill Trident RGB 

PSU- Corsair RM 750x

You won’t get a proper overclock with this RAM combo. Since finding a kit of 8 that works on that board (I essentially have the same board the Gaming 7) is a crapshoot and the chances 8 tridents is a workable combo is slim (unless someone has tried it), sell the 8 kit off and buy two more Aegis 16s and go from there. 
 

The BIOS is likely locking out changing this because it’s not a matched XMP profile.

 

I don’t know how far back BIOS revisions go but F3G and F12 are the best two BIOSes for the gaming 7. I don’t know what the F3G equiv for the designare is but neither of the earlier revisions are up on Gigabyte’s site anymore so you’d have to find someone that has the file still (may have been plain F2 no the F2D which was the designare version of F3G). All the in between versions had various issues. 
 

So sell the 4 8gbs and get two 16 Aegis so it’s a proper matched quad. Upgrade the BIOS to F12 then proceed to attempt the memory overclock. 

I dunno what Aegis kit that is but somewhere around 3200 with 16 18 18 36 timings is a good target area.

 

If you can track down a B die kit you should be able to hit 3600 on the ram stable with those boards.
