As far as i know only Samsung B-Die can do that.

My thoughts as well! Sadly, it's not worth the premium, for me anyway.
I do wonder if a X370 board would allow for more tweaking/ overclocking compared to the B350 board..
Pretty sure some do, especially ones like the crosshair. My Bdie is at C14 3466mhz. When the next gen comes out I'm sure they'll be a flood of cheaper x370 boards around you could give it a go with.
Well, I got my Corsair kit (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) which has Hynix IC's to 3000Mhz CL14, but no amout of magic or cursing would aid in getting them any higher along the overclocked 1600X..
Yeah, might be motherboard options, might be just hynix being a bit iffy. I'm on a 1700x myself.
4.2ghz is great though from your chip, so I wouldnt worry too much!
So I finally got my R7 2700X under a Corsair H115i and it's made a heck of a difference...the stock cooler just wasn't doing it and when leaving everything on Auto it would crash eventually due to the temps, even with decent airflow. Lower volts and clocks did help but really wasn't getting the best out of the chip.
Just got things clocked pretty low for now under the AIO at 4ghz @ 1.18v and it's been rock solid, max temps under load of around 46C today as well which is really nice. I'll need to try and bump things up a bit for a higher clock but just wanted to make sure I had things nice and stable again.

Hey guys, might be a daft question, but theres only one way to learn right? XD Is there any reason that say, a 12 core Ryzen 3700 when released, wouldn't work on a MSI Tomahawk B450? It's had the bios update in preparation I think, and apparently has good VRMs. I'm just curious if theres something I'm not realising about how socket AM4 works and if theres a limit older gen boards can take core/thread wise.
Just in case I crack before Aug-Sep

It's one that keeps coming up but... worry not.
No, no reason.
The Ryzen 3 R9's (16 core) in the lowest spec/cheapest motherboard MIGHT have the odd bit of issue with power delivery/vrms.
Any other combination, so long as bios is updated, should be golden.
my £120 kit does 3000CL14 and 3200CL16 which is close. Hynix A die.
My comment on VRM's to the reply before mine is I think most boards have overbuilt VRMs, the flagship boards are massively overbuilt purely for the hype thats created by people like buildzoid.
It wouldnt surprise me if a b450 board could handle a 8 and 12 core ryzen 3 series chip fine.
Hi chrcoluk, can you tell me which motherboard are you using? Also, at 3000Mhz CL14, what are the rest of your timings?
Cheers for the responses guys, appreciate it! At least now if I do go for the Tomahawk b450 and current 2xxx CPU range, there's a better upgrade path than I originally thought for future 
I was trying to clear out my backlog of old non CPU hungry games before needing to upgrade, but I seem to be getting through them fast lol. So might need the upgrade earlier than I thought if I want to play a bunch of new games I'm currently unable to, without a maxed cpu stutterfest or playing in 30fps.

I have managed to get to 2933 but even 3000 will cause my PC to restart, but not even load into the bios. I've tried the DRAM calculator and it has the same effect.
This only happens when I try to get the RAM over 3k, any other failed overclock attempts, on either my CPU or RAM, result in the normal restart and I can access the BIOS.
My memory is A-die so I suppose this is the main culprit, but I just don't understand why it only happens when attempting over 2933.

Are there any AMD reps about?
Have AMD stopped posting the chipset driver updates on their website?
This is from the Asus Prime Pro x370 website:
Version 18.50.16.01 2019/04/03 372.41 MBytes
AMD Chipset Driver
1.Support OS：Win10 RS5 64bit
2.Support CPU: Bristol\Summit\Raven
3.Driver version:18.50.06
AMD driver package：18.50.06_WHQL_RS5_VGA
SM_BUS:5.12.0.38
4.VGA:25.20.15016.1002
This is dated today. AMD's page hasn't been update since 10/26/2018!

Which motherboard, cpu and memory do you have?
Soldato
Same with MSI, maybe the new chipset drivers are for the new BIOS updates for upcoming CPU's that AMD are not officially supporting yet? But then i dont know how these things work, just guessing
x370 Taichi, 1600, and 16gb of team group dark pro 3200mhz cl16
Don't quote me on this, but I had the Asrock Fatality X370 Gaming K4 and could not get my 3000Mhz kit over 2133Mhz. Needless to say, if I can get my memory overclocked to 3200Mhz on an A320 motherboard the I strongly believe Asrock is utter garbage!
If the motherboard is still new I would return it for something the likes of MSI etc.

I used to have 3200Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum than didnt do anything over 2933Mhz with my 2700X.
My Dark Pro 8 Pack 3200Mhz C14 boots up at 3466Mhz using MSI's Memory Try It feature, passes CB20 and CPU-Z Bench, not tested with anything else but i like the CL14 timings on the default 3200Mhz settings

I think, for now, I will just take what I've got in terms of memory speed and keep the Taichi as a spare for the future. Never know what will happen when I buy the next gen Ryzen stuff.
I must say, with their lack of BIOS updates when Ryzen was first released, and tales of other people's experience of their customer service, I will not be buying another Asrock board for a while. I may be wrong as it's from distant memory, but I believe this board does not even have dual bios. Seems weird considering it was one of their flagship boards at the time.

I will be picking carefully in a couple of months that's for sure.
