Ryzen "2" ?

all depends on kit. My kit is not good with tight Timings better mix of speed + timings. Much better optuion is 3466 with super tight timings for performance. Need 8pack 3200cl14 for that or 4133+ kit
 
Hello fellow Ryzen 2 owners :D
I just purchased myself a 2700x with a gigabyte x470 ultra gaming motherboard and team group 3200mhz ram (b-die samsung)
I have been with intel so long that i am again unfamiliar with the amd bios, but the one and only problem i am having that i need help with is the ram.

I can't seem to get the ram to boot above 2800mhz is there anything i should be doing, i've tried manually and xmp, and even pushed the ram to 1.36 1.37 and loosened the timings.
It goes into a weird boot loop above that (although i can make it boot with 2933 but its very unstable and crashes in windows)
Can anyone lend some advice?

Hi, you're not the only one to have RAM issues, I'm afraid. I'm on my second set of DIMMs myself... First off, check you have the latest BIOS.
Assuming you have, it may help, if you haven't already, to adjust a few settings. First up, set a +0.05v offset on SOC voltage. Pop into VRM menu (I have Asus so hopefully will be called similar) and set Level 3 LLC on both CPU and SOC, power phases to optimised or extreme, and set Performance Enhancer level 2.
I'd go 1.36v for the RAM. I tried up-and-up-and-up with my old set and it wouldn't boot past 1.37v.

That's what I'd do anyway. Probably swearing a lot along the way.
 
still trying to figure it out meself ! I have a similar setup although my board is asus x470 pro. I had it running the DOCP profile at 3200MHz with 1.37v on RAM ( G-Skrill Sammy B-die as well ) while I can get it to boot I was getting weird behaviour from system - firefox crashing - seemed stuttery / laggy almost and all downloads corrupted ? ( not sure why this was happening but def OC RAM was issue )- currently left it at 2933Mhz with 1.37v and able to DL again. Might try lowering the volts but spent so much time tinkering with it now might just memtest /bench overnight and leave it at that for now

I've just done all you suggested there including lowering volts to 1.36 - the only thing I can't find is the Performance enhancer option. there is a thing to switch from normal to asus optimised but that's just an on off. I've left it off for now

EDIT - also my power supply ( superflower gold 750W) has an eco mode switch. I leave it in ECO mode - is that a bad idea for ryzen - could it be a source of crashes in the past ?

I also have a superflower 850 platinum on the eco switch... maybe this is something to do with it, i will try when i get home from work.

I have the latest bios but its a gigabyte board and doesnt have the same options and is even missing some currently (like vcore settings, have to do it in ryzenmaster)

I will give these methods a try but i think i tried a lot of these already, it just boot loops 3 times and then resets to 2133mhz ram.
Its a bit annoying when i already had 16gb of 2666mhz ram and bought 16gb of 3200 because ryzen supports it. to then have to run it the same as the old ram I just sold.............

s the performance menu option equivalent perhaps ? I don't know if they correspond to 123 levels.

You need to try 1.4v. Bumping 1.35v to 1.36 or 1.37 isn't enough.

Also sometimes whilst 2933 CL14 doesn't work you might find 3333 CL16 or even 3466 CL16 does work.

I have owned in total now, a 1700, 1600, 1600X, 2400G and 2600X, they could all do 3200 CL14 with B-die. The 2400G and 2600X can actually do it at CL16 with Hynix.

Boards have been a mix of A320 and B350, X370.

Is it weird that when I set the memory back to DOCP profile and speed to AUTO ( instead of manually setting to to 2933 like last time ) I'm getting nearly 20 GFlops slower in Intel burn test now ?

Was getting 95 @ 2933Mhz now 78 at 3200Mhz same timings

I meant that i've tried 1.35 1.36 all the way to 1.4 , and my ram is 3200, you think i should try 3333? or 3466?

1.4v with 3333 CL16. Give it a try.

Try to loosen the autotimings in case they don't change from the tight CL14 setup.

Also if you can't get 2933 and have determined it is the chip IMC, as that is below spec you should be able to return it.

Probably dropping back to 2133MHz. That's what mine did. Says DOCP 3200 in the box- it ain't running at that. That 'Auto' setting is confusing.
