Asus Prime B350M-A Instability

[Mr_Clark1000]

Hi all, I'm new here, so hello!

I've been following all the Ryzen threads eagerly and have recently put together a Ryzen 1700 with Noctua NH-U12, Cosair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 memory and of course the Asus Prime board.

I've updated the Bios to the 502 (think it's 502 or something?) and still have instability, with it at stock speeds or overclocked with more volts. It seems to run Ok for a while at stock and 3.8 - 3.9ghz OC with 1.375vcore but it will still die at some point... Temps don't get too high and stay under 70 on load at 3.8ghz.

So at stock, left overnight, it restarted at some point. I don't know what is causing it, the PSU numbers look good, the Ram is from another machine that has been working fine for over a year, so I dunno! Ram speeds are as per Cosair specs and it will fault at 2133 or 2400 speeds...

I wonder if there is another Bios due out soon? I want to get the MSI Mortar to test as soon as it's released and if that solves everything I will RMA the Asus board - it does seem they are having lots of problems right now!

Any ideas?

Cheers

All Am4 boards are a bit unstable as it’s a new platform. I have an MSI B350 and it has its problems. Am4 boards from all venders will get better after more updates.

Hang in there

Have you tried raising the VSOC to around 1.1-1.12? It helps with memory stability. Also make sure the your Vengeance ram is getting enough juice, some of these performance ram will require 1.35 or more to function properly.
