Posted July 12, 2017 Hi, I'm currently running a ryzen 7 1700X at 3.9Ghz on my asrock fatal1ty x370 gaming k4. I just got some new ram, 16Gb of ram (2x8) Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz. I just updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS. I'm still having trouble actually getting to 3200Mhz on my ram. Sometimes my system loads up, and sometimes it doesn't. Since I'm new to ram OC, i'm not too sure about the settings in the BIOS. I just turned on XMP and left the default timings (16-18-18-something i believe). Question: are there better settings for the ram that would make it stable? Or just I just lower the ram speed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2017 you can try 2933 and raise the BCLK a little Insert ram related question here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1197132-setting-ram-speed-xmp-docp-for-dummies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2017 I'm also stuck with 2933MHz ... 3200MHz is a no go for me. Then again, I don't think I would see any huge differences between 3200MHz and my current 2933. Keep in mind that I can run 2933MHz at CL14, while 3200MHz would need to be CL16 at least.

My kit was stuck at 2993 without bclk overclocking and now does 3200mhz flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the same motherboard and Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz? Did you just set it to XMP without tweaking anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me ... used agesa 1.0.0.6 BIOS update and my LPX 3200MHz ram kit still won't run at that frequency. And it might not be just about BIOS, but IMC in your CPU ... I was told that it's bad and that's why we can't have high speed RAMs working. Just now, Mooshi said: Worked for me.

Posted July 12, 2017 I am not 100% sure how it is on your motherboard but on Asrock Taichi the secondary timings are totally messed up which makes the RAM unstable, I would suggest you check these videos.

Posted July 12, 2017 I am currently running 2133 with my 1600. 2933 is stable but post times are very long and sometimes wont even post at all. 2133 post times are lightning fast for me.

I was shocked I dropped so much on this ram, but there were a lot of initial issues with Ryzen and it was a safe bet. I THINK I increased voltage by .5, but I don't remember. It's running off the XMP profile. 9 minutes ago, Simon771 said: great to hear, that at least some people can run it at 3200MHz Yeah, it was a mini victory for me lolol I hope the 2nd gen Ryzen will iron these problems out for good.

Yeah I'm also hoping on some decent improvements on Zen2. I hope they will produce better IMC on the CPU, and somehow make it able to OC over 4,5GHz.
