*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

[Illuminist]

Okay I have to ask one last time, and beg for help.

I have a ryzen x2700 with a gigabyte x470 ultra gaming on F3 bios, with team group vulcan 3200 ram. I cannot get it run anything above 2666 without weird problems or just a boot loop, I reached out to gigabyte who told me "your boards supports 3200mhz ram"
Which is not very helpful.
I have tried ram calculator on safe and fast settings to the same result of boot loops, can anyone help me or suggest something.

Also with this motherboard there is no manual vcore settings or LLC settings, does anyone know if they plan to update the bios with these features? If not is there a cheeky way i can use a x470 gigabyte gaming 7 or similar motherboards bios on mine?
Seriously, any help would be so appreciated as I exhausted the professional options with gigabyte themselves and their response was a joke.

Well hi folks, my pc tower came today,

I have no desire to overclock this processor as it is at stock and gives this sort of speed in picture below.

I have 8 pack ram and all i did was use intel xmp profile and it did everything so i did not have to use a ram calculator at all yep just by selecting the profile that is it.

 

[nashathedog]

I'd stick with Kryonaut tbh.

To be honest I probably will but at least I now have it, so even if it sits here until I build my first water loop system which I'll likely do when we move to the platform after AM4 it'll eventually get used.

What is the RAM voltage set to? If it's not 1.35V, try that. Which RAM settings are you trying, simple XMP or are you doing it manually? Try the Ryzen DRAM calculator to get some basic settings (the only ones you should care about are the four "primary" timings and the command rate) and try those. Also have you tried jumping straight up to 3000 or 3200 MHz or are you slowly ramping? Sometimes there can be particular multipliers that just don't work on a given board so whilst 2800 MHz might not work, 3200 MHz might, for example.

Is there anywhere like a mates where you could take the ram & plug it in to test if it's okay? If there is take the PC with you and test it with his ram, if it's not the ram return the board as faulty.

I bought a Gigabyte board earlier in the year for an 8700k rig I was building but sent it back, I returned it for a different reason but I was glad too as it didn't feel well built and that was an Intel board, considering how they treat AMD gpu's as second class hardware I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same with the AMD m/b's, I recently had an MSI AM4 board fail on me as well, again it felt poorly made and proved to be just that. IMO Asus are probably the best option for boards as I've never had an issue with any of mine that wasn't down to my own stupidity.

Spoiler

Nice, I've got a 2700x currently at stock too, There's not much more you can get out of them over what can be got automatically so running it as is is a good choice.

Yep i agree no point in overclocking, anyways i have had no issues with this pc of mine so am happy, i had a score of 1759 on cine bench which is like the same with a 8700k score.

edit

i think the 8700k that scored that had to be overclocked.

Your ryzen overclocks on all cores to 4.348 ghz on all cores on stock everything and auto overclock?

strange mine only ever went to 4.00ghz on stock and single core it would turbo boost up to 4.3ghz but not when all cores were at max.

I can confirm that. for 8700K @ 4.7Ghz all cores with standard ram 2666mhz and 4.3Ghz cache, the cb15 score should be around 1500+-30. to get 1700, the CPU must be overclocked to around 5.2Ghz.

uhh well my motherboard settings are mostly on default and the motherboard is a gigabyte x470 aorus gaming 7 wifi, for me when the processor gets demanded it shoots up to 4.3ghz yes, when the cores are maxed out it shots up to 4.3ghz.

Cheers for that.

right well i correct my self it does go up to 4.3ghz, but when i ran cinebench again it was at 3.8ghz so i stand to be corrected and did not peak at 4.3ghz.

I don't have a friend with a ryzen that i can test the ram with.

It runs at 2666mhz just fine, but its far from the 3200 i bought it for.
Like i said in my OP I used ryzen ram calculator already, and tried the settings provided with it, I tried 1.35v and 1.375 and even 1.4 and 1.45 just incase that would help. But nothing does.

Is it just the cl16 ram that is the problem ? thaiphoon tells me it is samsung b-die but its very frustrating to not have my system running correctly.

Do you or anyone know if i can use a different bios on my x470 ultra gaming? maybe the x470 gaming 7 bios instead which will provide me with at least the vore options and soc with LLC control?
Also is there a 1.0.0.5 or 1.0.0.6 agesa update incoming for gigabyte boards? Does this have a bearing on the ram it will accept?
Sorry for the lots of questions, just very frustrated and desperate for solutions to these problems

Take a photo of the RAM profile or settings you are trying (photo of the BOIS screen) and post it here?

I haven't got a clue regarding the bio's sorry. I've got the Samsung B die memory myself, Initially I had a 1600x and B350 board and the memory ran fine at 3200, Then I swapped the 1600x for a 2700x and the memory would no longer run above 3000mhz so I bought an Asus Prime X470 pro board and it's running okay at 3200 now, It was a bit odd and annoying. If you have the newest bios for your board how about trying an older one.
I'm not sure what else you can do, just run it as is or bite the bullet and get a new board as I did. Send that one to Gigabyte as faulty and if they return it as not faulty sell it on, Where did you buy the board from and why did you go to Gigabyte instead of them?

I think it must have been, I only ever do an overclock to do a bench and that's only the gpu, My day to day settings are the stock cpu, 3200mhz memory & I'm running my Vega stock bar an undervolt and together they do a good job for gaming.

I bought the board from OCUK, there is nothing wrong with the board i was just a bit AMD rusty when i bought it and wasn't aware of the memory problems for ryzen 2, i thought that stuff was cleared up by now for ryzen... my bad. So i bought the £174 ram not the £220 ram and now im getting this issue because i couldnt face spending more when my wife almost killed me for splashing out so much on a new all amd build

I am tempted to overclock my processor, tbh, the stock sooler is half decent, better than intels rubbish though regarding stock air processor coolers.

I made sure that i get a decent motherboard and so far, it has been very easy and a breeze to just set the ram using it's xmp profile.

If it's B Die like you say then it shouldn't be the memory at fault here... post a photo of your settings

So I started to oc my x470 crosshair and 2600 on Air with 8pack 3200mhz (xmp).
I hit 4.1 stable at 1.357 volts which is ok.
4.2 /4.3 would I think need around 1.45v which is the threshold of safe.

No. 1.4v is safe for 2nd gen Ryzen, not 1.45v. 1st gen Ryzen safe max was 1.425v.....................................1.45v is ok for a bit of benching but defo not for any sort a 24/7 running.........................unless you is running under Phase ?

Na , just a Noctua D14 air cooler.
I'm cool with 4ghz atm and Ill probably upgrade to zen2 if they are good. drop the 2600 into a family build.
