Elmor is working hard on the memory stuff on CH6 yes. I have had a couple of discussions with him on this stuff.

I did not try 32GB 2X 16 on asrock yet.

I can say it's stable with lower capacity not a problem. I will try this Monday my testing stopped simply because I am at EK HQ in Slovenia since Wednesday.

Elmor is handling this launch "like a boss", no other way to describe it. The ride isn't easing up yet, either

Hi, is anyone having any luck with G.Skill Trident Z? I have 3000MHZ CAS14 32GB (2x16). they are not on the QVL for CH6, that I could see. Will I be able to boot at all with this memory?

Cheers,

Up until a couple of days ago I didn't even know about double and single rank ram... suffice to say my 16gb of Corsair Vengance is double ranked and my B350 Prime really isn't that keen on it.

I did manage to get in to windows at 2400mhz with some copied timings, but once I opened either Ryzen Master or Watt Man, it just went "all funny, like". So having lost the urge to tinker further I went back to 2133. Here it will stay until an update appears or I get tired of waiting and buy a different board.

when you say "all funny, like", that's exactly what I thought, except with more sweary words!

I have Cosair Vengeance LPX 2400 stuff thats happy to work at 2600 all day for years in my intel system, at 1.35v and cas15 settings, but in this Ryzen setup, is unstable at 2400 and cas16 settings, even at 1.4v!

I find that I can just about get semi reliable 3.8ish ghz on the 1700 with memory at 2133 but at 2400 it craps out pretty quickly. I might see about lossening the timings even more to something like 17-17-17-39 @ 2400 and see if that works?

Do not try it until new bios released...

Should boot Yeah but over 2400 may not be possible yet.

Thank you, that is re-assuring

I can live with 2400, hopefully they will manage to improve over time. Can always swap out later on if things dont improve.

Thanks again

Just built my Ryzen system today.

Ryzen 7 1700 at stock
Asus Prime B350M-A (0502 BIOS)
16GB (2x8GB) G Skill Ripjaws V 3000MHz C14 (F4-3000C14D-16GVR)

Can confirm it runs at 2993MHz using the Asus DOCP profile using 1.35V

Did a 30 min Realbench stress test and no issues

Haven't tried OC yet as I'm still using the stock cooler. Might give it a bash later but my Noctua mounting kit arriving soon, I hope, for some real stuff!

Is it possible to attempt to overclock my 2400mhz memory using a Gigabyte Gaming 3 Motherboard. Doesn't seem to change the setting when I manually override.

RB isn't really a valid all-out memory stresser, especially for 30 minutes.

Guys are these any good for ryzen ?

not sure what the best is to pick from them

G.Skill Trident Z 32GB Kit DDR4 4000MHz RAM

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB Kit DDR4 3866MHz RAM

Corsair Vengeance Red LED 32GB Kit 3400MHz DDR4 Memory

There all 4x8 variants.

RSR · 12 Mar 2017 at 12:17

My personal choice would be ether one of the G.Skill kits, but at the moment it maybe a good idea to wait for a few UEFI updates before buying.

My opinion: absolutely no point getting any of those as you won't be able to utilize their speed anyway. Just get 16GB (2x 8GB) single rank sticks to start with as they give you higher chance to get them working. Four sticks and silly megahertz aren't the best bet at this point in time as there is still a lot of tweaking needed from MoBo manufacturers.

Coming from ASUS and AsRock the gigabyte interface confused me a little at first, too. If you have a XMP profile then simply selecting the profile will do the trick. If it takes a long time to boot then it's very possible the mem fell over and revert to stock.

If you set the frequency manually you might need to bump the mem voltage in advanced voltage menu. If it still fails then try upping the SOC voltage to +0.050 or +0.100.

**** MAJOR MEMORY BREAKTHROUGH WITH HERO 6 ****

My memory: Corsair CMK32GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-3000 2x16GB

Set DRAM BOOT voltage in bios to 1.35v

Now need to reapply overclock to cpu and test with realbench stress.

Do these use Samsung or Hynix ICs? Can you do me a solid, and check using AIDA64?

awaybreaktoday · 13 Mar 2017 at 10:48

@Rossi~ Hynix ICs, however I have now switched back to running memory @2400, still unstable at 3000, but far better than it was with previous bios....

Balls. That means my 2x16GB kit will be Hynix too. Thanks for checking mate.

Just a question thinking of getting the rgb 3200mhz mem for ryzen from g.skill has anyone try them.

Yup, having the 3600 CL16 version running nicely on a 1700 and a Asus Crosshair VI Hero board.

Got timings of 13-13-13-33 stable at 3200MHZ @ 4Ghz.

They seem to be the best for Ryzen at the moment. 2x8GB gives the best results.
