8 Pack RAM

david93adams · 19 Jul 2019 at 04:30

Hey, I'm wondering if someone can advise me.

I bought the 3200 C14 8 pack ram as I seen a lot of people recommending it, esp for Ryzen builds.

Short of this is that I'm running a 3700x & an x570 Pro Carbon MSI MoBo and I cannot get the RAM to work out of the box with throwing lots of errors in all memtest programs. HCI, Kahfu, and even MEMTEST86.

This as you could imagine is very frustrating as XMP should just work out of the box with this stuff on this setup.

I even downclocked it to 3000 c14 which should not have to happen and still throwing errors.

I cleared the cmos completely, tested with the default everything 2400mhz and this ran for 4 hours no errors at all, so I'm thinking it's clearly not board hardware fault.

Would I need to return or can someone help me here?

Set DOCP and test 1 stick at a time, should work easily at 3200 C14.

Set the timings etc manually. I had no issues running 3600 on that kit c14-16.

Also tune soc voltage around 1.1v.

Sorry to hijack this thread but is there any news regarding an eta for 8pack 3600cl14?

Cheers

You'd imagine so, right?

I'll give that a go.

I done this.

Set to override and 1.1v Cpu SoC.

Made no difference. I still get errors before 50% coverage.

What's your Rma number I will test this myself in a known good cpu and board...

Seems I did not try enough boards with like 10....

Hi mate, thanks for your response.

RMA is RMA360798

The guys on the phone were great, refunding me straight as soon as it's back with you guys.

I've ordered the 4000MHz kit as a direct replacement as per your recommendation on other threads.

Would you mind sharing your timings for C14 on this kit please so I can get straight use out of the box? It would be much appreciated.

My board is an X570 MSI pro carbon.

Oh, and as per your post here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/8pack-ryzen-hell.18860310/

I understand your frustration and with people saying "it's not working" it must get annoying, my specific issue is on 3200Mhz which is what the CPU is indeed rated for.

Seems you probably won't need to test.

Just received the 4000mhz kit,

clocking in a 3600 c14 15 30 with decent sub timings @1.4v

My chip and board are obviously a-okay

Just thought I'd let you know as that kit will be back with you guys in the next couple days.

im running the 3200c14 with a 3800x on an ch7 x470 the stuff wont even post on docp setting it all has to be entered manualy
it isnt the memory theres nothing wrong with that...what is a steaming pile of poo is the bios of most boards especialy x470 at the moment
be patient people the updates will come dont blame the hardware as theres nothing wrong with it
what i am looking for is timings for 3466 and 3600 as tight as possible at the moment im running 3333cl14 would like to get it up higher but im sooo sick of this board refusing to post any help would be appreciated

In my case, RAM was faulty evidently. It happens, it's not a bad thing for the manufacture, can't all be perfect.

In terms of you not being able to post, honestly, a lot of boards that aren't x570 are just struggling right now.

I would advise return and replace with a 570, or wait for future bios updates with the AGESA 1.0.03ABA.

After upgrading from the Asus B50-F, which was fine for 4x8GB 8pack 3200, to the Asus B450-F, memory error. Can't even remember BIOS version of the Asus B450-F, as after few wasted hours returned the B450 and bought the X570-F. Running even better than the Asus B-350-F, as for BF5, only scenario where I had to reduce the RAM to 3000MHz to avoid random crashes.
So, nothing to do with the RAM, but first gen Ryzen and some of it's motherboards were really fussy about RAM. Second gen, if allowed to call the 2000 series that, I didn't had any experience with the processors, but the second generation of motherboards yes, a bad experience, as the RAM is operating as expected now, and performed well in the combinations: Ryzen 1600X + B350-F, Ryzen 3600 + B350-F and Ryzen 3600 + X570-F.
