Ballistix Sport LT Overclocking

I am really struggling to get stable at 3600/1800Mhz on the memory and IF. Can anyone help?

My motherboard is the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 coupled with a 3800X. I'm wondering if the VDDCR SOC, CLDO VDDP and CLDO VDDG voltages need to be a tad higher, but the Gigabyte BIOS is not the easiest thing in the world to use.

So I wanted to do some tweaking to my new system, Mainly getting it set up with DRAM Calculator to run at 3600, But no matter what I do in bios it just doesn't stick! Keeps reverting back to complete stock settings so my memory is running at 2400. I even had the issue where my CPU would not boost over 4ghz either. Resetting the bios to defaults sorts that for some reason.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? This stuff isn't half complicated compared to when I did my 4690k build years ago. I tried to follow AndreiD's settings earlier in the thread & no go with that either, Some of the settings I cannot find in the bios :/

I'm running a 3900x, Aorus Elite x570 board running the f12f bios & 32gb of this ram.

Thanks in advance, I am very much a noob :(

@Matteysan Have you used thaiphoon burner to import your ram specs directly into DRAM Calculator? It'll give you a more accurate readout for the settings you need to use in the BIOS :)

Hi Space Monkey, I don't think I did, I just followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOqhyVNPhaM&t=323s & set up DRAM Calculator to my specs & selected calculate fast. Do I just export the complete HTML report & load it into DRAM Calculator?

Sorry for the noob questions.

No worries, also maybe try safe setttings first then when stable try for fast?

Yeah I don't think it liked the fast settings, As it reverted everything back to stock again, I shall try the safe settings now.

I've tried the safe settings also now & it won't have any of those either. Keeps reverting back to 1200.

Honestly I have no idea what I am doing wrong :/

Kinda give up with the manual input, So I set the XMP profile to 1 in bios & manually set it to 3600. These have stuck.

I've got a 3900x, Gigabyte Aorus Elite + Corsair Vengence Pro RGB 3600M2ZC18. I've got some results from using Thaipoon Burner and DRAM calculator. I want to double check my settings before I try for 3800MT/s again (@3733Mhz atm). I made a gallery on imgur with my settings and my queries https://imgur.com/a/2uxhgym.


For the main I've got pictures of my bios in the order they come up. I think my setting for VDDP is just pulled out of thing air as its +0.2v and DRAM calculator recommends 0.9v and the reported voltage is 1.116v.

Also on screenshot 01 & 01b I don't know where VDDIO is in the DRAM calculator but I think its DDR4 related, need to check bios for clues again.

Jayz2cents recommends setting Vcore to 1.3v, its currently maxing out @ 1.5v on F12f bios (latest).

Not helpful I know. But christ you've changed loads. Hardcore.

I just followed the guide from DRAM calculator, except I figured out my RAM could do 3733Mhz but the IF needed some help because the divider kicked in and then I was alerted by HWiNFO that my IF was under 1800Mhz when I got to windows after running memtestx86 test 7 (best one). So I put 10mV on the SoC. I have now tried running SoC without locking its frequency and that was a bad idea, got mega stutters of 3 seconds. I've limited the Vcore to 1.352v and that seems ok.

What I haven't done is the screenshot from buildzoid using precision boost overclocking and manipulating the power limits. I was under the impression that the only over clock you could do was to lock the CPU at a higher clock permanently which can degrade chips.
 
I just wanted to add to this that I have a 2x16 Gb kit of 3200 MHz 16-18-18 rated ones with Micron E die and white heatspreaders.

On Z490 I have managed to get them fully stable at 4133 MHz, 17-22-22-40-620 with 1.425v.

Even trying up to 1.55v doesn't get 4200 CL17 or 4100 CL16 stable, but 4000 CL16 also works.

This only cost me £153 for a 2x16 Gb kit and it was before they started selling anything higher like the current 3600+ kits (mine go straight to 3600 at the stock timings and voltage with no issue, and CL14 with 1.4v).

I don't believe I have seen better results from any other 2x16 Gb kits, not even Samsung B die typically cannot get much past 3800 MHz.

Hey,

Amazing results! What is.the product code for your RAM?
 
This isn't Ballistix Sport LT, but it is related to E-die.

Has anyone tested BL2K8G32C16U4B or
BL2K16G32C16U4B? Ballistix 3200MHz CL16 2x8GB and 2x16GB.

Just wondering if they're the cheapest way for me to get to 3600MHz CL16.
 
Hello!

I am new here, nice to read all these mail but I still need help.
I bought some days ago set:
ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS
Balllistix LT SPORT (BLS16G4D30AESC.M16FE) 2x16gb
Ryzen 5 1600AF (I know my mobo is overkill for this but I will change this to 3800X)

I am trying OC my memory even on 3200mhz, trying:
RAM VOLTAGE - 1,45
SOC 1.1
VDDG 1100

And max I got is run windows and run some stress test for 3mins and got crash, after reset my computer even post.
I am trying use DOCP or manual setting in DRAM timings but no luck. Today I tried to boot with those 3200 and no post.

I tried timing: 16-16-16-35-68
Even triend to bump them to 20-20-20-40-70 and the same.

Very strange for me is also my mobo got newest bios 1407 and i dont have in advanced tap "AMD overclocking"
Could you please help me ? I just able to run 3066 and stable :)
 
It seems i was lucky with my ram...2x16GB 3200CL16 BLS2K16G4D32AESC

Basically what i did was load up XMP, change the multiplier to 37.33, voltage to 1.38 and TRCDRD to 19
It is nice and stable at 3733. That's enough for me
