It certainly seems it. I've just put some gskill 3600 in mine but not had change to play yet so I'm currently at 3200. If I get it any faster I'll post some benchmarks.

I've not had any luck with the HyperX ram. Forget trying just two sticks - couldn't get a single stick to work at 2666 and I tried all of them.
I suppose I could try each at stock, but don't think will have more luck to be honest. Think the X370 pro is just plain poor for memory support.
Bet I'd have more luck with a crosshair. But if I was going to spend yet more money, I'd be moving away from Asus.
They're like bloody snails with the support.
The crosshair seems to have the most support of all the boards tbh. Elmor has done a fantastic job over at overclock.net with helping people with issues.
Although I know what its like buying another product from the same manufacturer that has left a sour taste in your mouth.
I have some Trident 3866Mhz on the way, if bios updates allow for it, will see how much it helps.
I'm going to be trying this when I get the time. He has the exact same setup as me so I should at least get close.
I'm hoping for a 3600mhz mem strap to make its way into BIOS's soon. I'd rather not tinker with the BCLK too much due to m.2 etc.
Hmm, I get your point, maybe when the APUs arrive we will see osme more media focused boards released.
Either way I don't think we should be putting HDMI 2.0 ports on any future GPUs/boards, they should have Displayport instead, let HDMI on GPUs/boards die with 1.4 and leave HDMI 2.0 to the TV end of the cable.
Damn, if he can get an extra 200MHz or so out of it the Silent_Scone will have to get onto Parcelforce for a shipping quote XD
Same here, I read that if you overclock the BCLK too much it will cause data corruption with m.2 drives.

Damn, shut my machine down earlier and now it wont power on. Checked the PSU and with the paperclip trick and it's fine. Time to request an rma and hopefully a refund. Ordered the msi carbon to replace it.

Just checked the psu with my old system and it's running that fine. Whatever has happened I'm hoping the CPU is fine as I have a replacement board coming Thursday. Bloody weird though shutdown the machine a couple of hours later go to boot it and nothing at all.
I've had ram cause this in the past

Joy as there's no way i can now afford more ram after grabbing a replacement board. Weird though as it's been fine since day one. Everything is still under warranty so can't see any issues getting replacements
I can't seeing it being an issue. It just might be worth using one stick at a time and trying it then or trying different slots. I had some crucial that wouldn't power on with both sticks installed back when the fx chips released.

Gigabyte AB350 gaming 3. A pity as it's been solid until today. MSI carbon has been shipped so at least i can test the CPU and memory tomorrow.
Due to the £ possibly taking another hit today I'm thinking that now might be a good idea to finally take the plunge and upgrade to this.

Has anyone used the Team Group Ram, and if so are you able to get the full speeds?

Have you reset the cmos? You can also try removing the battery and leaving it out for 10 mins to completely clear everything and see if you can get it to boot after.
