Other B350 boards have it. It looks like Gigabyte have deliberately gimped their cheapest B350 board.

Bummer... can you say which ones?

I had the Asus B350 Prime and that also had offset only.

I've read a review of the B350 ROG Strix and that is offset only.

This Gigabyte one seems to be offset only :(

Which ones have it?

MSI tomahawk has proper voltage settings.

From bios to bios have your oc's still worked or have you needed to retest?

CPU has been the same, memory speeds have actually decreased on this bios. I took pictures and wrote my settings down previous to updating. Now on this bios it refuses to boot with the exact same known previous timings.
I'm now at 3333 as I cba to use flashback to go back to the older bios.
 
Woooo finally after a few hours of trial and error I now have a R5 1600 @ 3.8Ghz (1.35v) & RAM @ 3200 C16.

The "profile" that came with the 1600 @ 3.9 bundle I ordered failed at the first hurdle. It wouldn't post at all (0d in Asrock LED debugger). The voltage also seemed WAY too high at 1.4475v (@3.9Ghz) :confused:. The RAM also refuses to post at the correct C14 but I imagine with additional tweaking I can get this to work.

Not fussed about the above as I now have a stable system which is a noticeable upgrade over my "old" i7 4770s.

In addition my temps aren't too bad, 70-72 degrees after an hour of AIDA64 under a Kuhler 620 (single fan) - note all inside a Define R3 with fans set to the lower RPM within the bios.

Just re-run Cinebench and scored 1,281, a slight upgrade from 712.... (and a nice boost from the 1138 I scored at stock).

I'm glad its working for you but if its not working as advertised you should send it back.
If you are not getting 3.9/3200CL14 then its not what you paid for.

I have the same bundle and mine posted first time at 3200 C14 as advertised :(

3.9 is a challenge though, I've just stuck it at 3.7 with stock volts (1.22 or so) and it's working great. Not convinced I would ever notice the difference in real world usage between 3.7 and 3.9!
 
Hmm was hoping to test my ram tonight but HCI isnt free?

The DOCP profile will run at 3066Mhz. I did run and game on this for months, but it crashed on my when I upgraded to my 1080.

The difference now if I bumped the volts to 1.4v and set ProcODT to 60.

Should be alright, right?

How do I test it if HCI aint free? I think it will use up to 4Gb for free. IS that enough of a test?

Run multiple instances of 2048MB
 
No interestingly the cost of the bundle is the same as buying a 1600 / B350 Tomahawk & the same RAM separately (note I opted to remove the cooler as I already had one). Main difference is you get a X370 Tachi instead... (so the bundle is ~£100 cheaper than buying the components separately..).

I am not so fussed by the RAM as technically it did work (as in was stable in Windows) it was just refusing to cold boot. It will probably get there with more tweaking but for the moment I am just going to enjoy it. :)

I wouldn't use the profile that came with it as the actual changes would take less than 30 seconds to apply (set CPU to 3900, voltage to 1.4475 (er no) and RAM @ XMP profile 1). The thread relating to the bundle suggests it isn't pre binned ( I thought it would be TBH), but instead is off the shelf retail hardware, sealed where there would be a seal, and provided with an OC profile. In theory at least this allows all CPU's to hit the defined target (I assume this is why the voltage is so high). I haven't tried my CPU at higher than 3.8 for the moment. Got too much to do with Destiny 2 beta tomorrow and benchmarks / vids to plan.

Instead I am running:

CPU @ 3800
Voltage @ 1.35
LLC @ Level 2 (voltage shows as 1.36-1.37 in HWMonitor)
RAM @ XMP Profile 1 with manual change to timings
SOC @ 1.1v

Everything else is on auto
 
Heres a question for you. My Corsair LPX ram will work at 3066Mhz but wont boot at 3200Mhz even with settings added manually, volts at 1.4v and ProcODT at 60ohms.

The first image is a screenshot of Thaiphon Burner

https://ibb.co/fGHhhQ


The second is the settings that the DOCP profile sets

https://ibb.co/mGXR95

Two things.

The DOCP settings are actually different to what Thaiphon burner shows and secondly, the settings Taiphon burner shows is only 5, where as you can see the 54 is actually the sixth one done.

So wasn't sure what to do.

---

In the end I think I'm happy with 3066Mhz... for now.

I had corsair lpx 3200, completely stable at 2933 and fine at 3066 with occasional boot failures back to 2133. Nothing I tried could get it booting at 3200. Other people on forums have the same experience as it is Hynix based ram.

My current ram , set it to docp, chose 3333 divider and 1.41v. Completely stable at 3333 c14. This is Samsung b die based ram.
 
No. Quick testing do 400. Once happy do one overnight run. Should get near 4000% with 16gb.

I had frequent failures at 800 ish when mine was unstable.
 
Turns out there's a new F6 bios for my GA-AB350M and it adds more memory increments. Now running 3066 cas 14. Not sure if I need to be looking at SoC voltage to get the last little bump to 3200? Currently reading it as 1.087v.

Sadly this bios has done nothing to resolve the huge voltage spike above 3.6ghz overclocking, so looks like I'll be running stock for the forseeable.

Which is probably fine. It runs 3691mhz on all cores, and I'd probably get what, 3900 out of it with an OC? Not worth fighting for, imho. It's not going to feel any faster, and it's currently gaming at 47 degrees :D

So I seem to have my PC stable now at OC'ed settings. 3.8Ghz on the CPU and 3066Mhz ram.

It past 3 hrs of Prime 95 and 400% HCI stable on the ram.

Having overclocked the ram, you can definitely feel it in games.

---

As my oc's are quite conservative I hope from BIOS to BIOS they will remain stable.

Interesting that with 16 instances of HCI open and the CPU at 100% load, temps where in the high 40's.

100% load in Prime 95 and your looking at around 68-70c
