Continued from the "AMD new horizon event" thread.

Please discuss and post any new information here regarding the upcoming AMD Ryzen CPUs and AM4 motherboards.

Thanks

I have the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 2x16 and was running at 2666.

But have you set memory frequency through bios to 3200 mhz like i did? That what i have done but it still runs on 2133. On main bios page it says ram speed 2133 mhz while on memory frequency settings it is set on 3200 mhz.

[GTsimms]

Have you tried 2666 and running CPUZ to check memory speed?

I believe that RAM is Hynix. So it wont run naturally at 3200 MHz.

No i set it to 3200 and let it as it is. Why run it on 2666 instead of wating for bios update to run it on 3200? CPU Z says 1064,5 MHZ. Do you have 1700 or 1800x? i have mine at 3.0ghz due to stock cooler.

interesting read about ryzen potential performance gain

https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/03/14/tips-for-building-a-better-amd-ryzen-system

it states 3 memory with samsung b die with good performance.
Geil EVO X - GEX416GB3200C16DC [16-16-16-36 @ 1.35v]
G.Skill Trident Z - F4-3200C16D-16GTZR [16-18-18-36 @ 1.35v]
Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 VERSION 5.39 [16-18-18-36 @ 1.35v]

I plan to get the gigabyte ab350 gaming 3, I want to get the Corsair one (because it is available at my preferred store), the gigabyte has a supported memory list, but none of the above are listed in the supported list. Should I still go with Corsair?

The support list doesn't have the ones that is avialable at my preferred store.

Remember, 3200 is not always a guaranteed OC and you can get better performance setting @ 2666. I just hope to get 2933 from my Corsair. My 7700k system would not go above 2933. But, I have not checked for any new ASUS Z270 Prime-A bios updates or the memory QVL list recently.

I have the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 running at 2133 with the latest bios, it keeps double booting if I set it to 2666 but still works and stays stable, but works fine at 2133.

I'm going to wait for the bios with the new AGESA microcode and then mess around with it.

Ok thx, should be fine for me then, I am OK if ram runs at 2133 or 2400, as long as it is stable

Still better to just buy RAM such as 3000 or 3200; they can all run at lower speeds if needed.
However once more BIOS updates iron out these issues, then you will surely want that higher speed; like say 3200 for example.

Newer BIOS are already out for most boards; however Gigabyte is doing this very poorly and for this reason, I'd avoid all Ryzen Gigabyte boards at this time.

I have G.SKIL 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RIPJAWS V DUAL CHANNEL KIT and
set it to 3200 mhz from bios settigns but it is working on 2133. should i wait until more bios updates are out?

Are you sure you will be able to run it @3200MHz? As it was already noticed, it can't be garanteed.

I would say yes definitely wait for a new bios which has the AMD AGESA microcode in it (which will hopefully be in the next bios update) because that should fix our RAM speed issues.

Then it's not 3200; you obviously have no idea how this works.
If CPU-Z says it's at around 1067; then that is running at 2133, which is wrong.
At least, that is not 3200... you do understand this right?

[SHREDDER]

i understand it yet How long will it take until they fix it? How many more bios versions ? Afrer they fix it then it it anyone else that they should fix? If no then i will get the bios that fix the ram issue but if they are planning to do even more updates are fixing it then i wll wait until they are finsh.

Is this CL14 or CL16?
Because I believe CL14 is with Samsung B-die. CL16 is probably Hynix. So you wont be able to run it at 3200 MHz untill there will be a stable RAM compatibility and only god knows when that will happen.

With Hynix you will need to use BCLK OC to get to 3,2.
Samsung B die rams run at 3,2 without any BCLK changes.
