For anyone interested, Corsair 3200Mhz 16GB working at 3200Mhz straight out of the box with XMP Profile 2 on a MSI B350 tomahawk bios 1.3!

Now to drop timings :cool:

This memory kit CMK16GX4M2B3200C16

No need to bother with the expensive G.Skill Flare stuff.

I'm very confused, I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but I have the exact same DIMM on a MSI Carbon x370 and I can't even get it to be stable on desktop at 2400mhz with 1.35v and manually set 16-18-18-36. I'm also running my 1700 at 3.85ghz but I need 1.4v to do so... am I missing anything or do I just have a poor clocker and bad bios?
 
Some weird thing happening.

I flashed the new bios for the Gaming Pro Carbon X370, Set my 1800X OC, Memory speed etc.....Boot into Windows and CPU-Z shows my 1800X running at it's default speeds and even with a load on the CPU the clocks stay at their defaults.

Tried a few things but nothing seems to remedy this.

Anyone seen this before ?

Sounds like it's failed to post and the bios has defaulted the settings. This happens with an unstable oc or the infamous cold boot issue.

Try using Hwinfo and see if it reports the same things...thanks for the headsup on the new BIOS though, gonna give it a try to see if my memory issues are fixed

Well in the bios it reads the OC just fine, The rig boots just fine, Really odd issue.

HWINFO reports the same, Gonna go back to the previous bios to see if that cures it.

It will read it fine and you won't know that it's gone wrong it's automatic and doesn't show you anything on screen. The only way i can tell on my crosshair is by looking at the LEDs on post.
 
Windows creators update broke my system!
Well not quite but this happened: i left windows to download and install the creators update last night and went to bed. I came down this morning to a black screen keyboard and mouse turned off and code 8 on my motherboard. From experience this is a failed overclock. Bear in mind this has been solid at 3.9 3200 for 2-3 weeks now without a problem. It's passed everything I've thrown at it. I reboot and it won't post code 8 again. Restore defaults and it boots fine. I rollback to a previous bios 0079 as that's what i was using until yesterday, reinstate my overclock and I'm having issue cold booting.
When i eventually boot all is good but when running heavy loads the mouse cursor freezes. I open up occt and within 10 mins it dies bear in mind this previously passed 8 hours on this.
I remove the creators update and try again, overclock fails.
I'm now currently testing 3.8 has anyone had this happen to them? A previously rock solid CPU going to crap with a few weeks?
At 3.8 it's cold booting and rebooting fine i think i may have the worst 1700 on here :/
 
Well flashed back to the 1.2 MSI bios and now Windows properly registers the OC, 4025 at 1.3875, Game and bench stable.
MSI really need to properly test these updates before they put them out.

Carbon bios has not been update yet to the tomahawks, maybe the reason.
 
I'm at 3.827 GHz with 1.35 volts (I haven't tried lower volts yet), 14-14-14-34 RAM at 3093 MHz (also at 1.35 volts) on my Crosshair VI, System Bus at 116 hence those numbers. Creators update all running totally stable so far. High of 51 degrees on the CPU under gaming load (H100i V2 now with 2 fans).
Gaming has never been so good. I had a 4790K before. I don't know if OBS or Twitch or Nvenc or it's the Windows change but my delay streaming on Twitch is now about 5 seconds, at 3000 bitrate I have really good stream quality now with no discernable impact on gaming performance.
Ryzen 1700.

MSI have got this all wrong lol. Tomahawk getting all the love where the high end are getting left behind.
Asus are no different. The Prime B350-Plus has had six BIOS updates so far, including one for the new AGESA this week. Meanwhile, the Crosshair VI has only gotten two updates and none since late March. I guess they must be using the low end boards as a testing ground or something.

I mean they have released updates including one yesterday but I still can't even clear 2400mhz with slack timings and a little voltage boost... a shame too as game performance improves quite a bit with 2400mhz, let alone 3200
