vengeance lpx Vengeance LPX 3200MHz Fail - Ryzen 1700X

[iggybo]

So I just updated the bios of my ASUS Prime Pro x370 board.

Now I tried to run my two 8GB sticks at 3200MHz. This hasn´t worked since Ryzen launch and I gave up trying. But then I thought maybe now with the BIOS update it might finally work.

...BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NLOE). Blah blah stupid win10 recovery setup kicked in and everything went haywire. Now I reset the BIOS and dialed it back to 2133.

 

WTF is up with Ryzen and 3200MHz...Is it that f-ing hard. 

I don´t buy a 3200MHz stick to run it at 2933...I know it makes next to no difference and I´ve been using it at 2933 for a year now but still. Is it that hard?

You need to tweak the timings yourself, it is time consuming but if you really want 3200MHz, you have no other choice sometimes.

Or increase the CPU IMC voltage.

[captain cactus]

The IMC can just not be good enough to accept 3200MHz. Remember, 3200 not an officially supported speed (only up to 2666 is, Raven Ridge APUs and Ryzen 2 can do 2933 officially) and you're operating the thing out of spec. It's called silicon lottery, you may have a lesser IMC in your CPU.

Update: 3133 works

But above that it locks up...

Also at that Speed Cinebench Drops about 300 points to 1500

Ryzen is weird sometimes

 

Anyway thanks guys
