RYZEN DDR4 MEMORY, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

So that doesn't work for me. Somehow it passes the values to uefi for booting with - went through mem learning bootloop then just booted with my original settings which had not been touched.

That's how I recall it behaving when tried it once before - I didn't see the point at all and never used it since.

If it applied the settings immediately, fine, otherwise it's actually quicker just using the bios

Oh yeah that sounds a bit pointless

I fear to ask, but do we have any news on the (bios?) updates that will sort out high memory frequencies yet? I'm holding off purchase because I know I need 32gb and I want it to be as 2x16 at that.

If I'd be relegated to low speeds, I may favour an i7 instead :/

no news on bios or AGESA 1.0.0.5 from AMD

going crazy on the refresh button!

Did we get a date in the end? I thought it was just "May". Even then, the manufacturers have to implement when it arrives. I'm expecting Early June until tbh.

I'm normally one for f5ing myself, but in this instance it's probably best to just wait for someone to post something about it.

May only come end of may. Maybe.

Knowing AMD they actually meant may as in it may come

I am hoping to buy ryzen in may, do you guys think that new agesa will improve memory speeds and compatibility?

Definitely. But by how much, we don't know. I think most people's hopes is to get 3200MHz CL14 more easily achievable and better compatibility with ICs, 4 DIMMS and Dual Rank.

Yeah I think 3200 CL14 is the sweet spot at the moment. I'm just hoping for better memory dividers, increasing bclk isn't ideal for me.

Agreed, I'd love to hit 3000 on ram without bclock.

Speaking of bclock, I could only seem to get it to work if I used the docp profiles.

Trying to set bclock manually just resulted in black screen and no post. Not even the usual start/stop.

But I haven't taken much time to get familiar with it.

I'm happy it's running 4ghz /3ghz for now, even if it is using bclock.

That is strange. I've found I can only use blck with high timings. Not tried with this ram set yet, going to have a play now I think.

I just hope that soon Ryzen would be just plug and play, i dont want to be beta tester.

Running the GA-AX370-Gaming K7 (F3 BIOS) with Corsair CMK32GX4M2B3000C15 (2x 16GB sticks) is working great with the 1800X at 2933mhz by just switching XMP on.

These stick use 2 ranks, 16 banks.

Been running 24/7 for 3 days now benching/gaming and its been rock solid

Go away!

Guess I got lucky thankfully as I was worried as the RAM is fast as well as dual rank which is not a great combo at the moment. Kept the RAM at the default 2133 while I updated to the the BIOS, turned XMP on and hoped it would boot even. Was surprised how easy I had it

I thought I had it easy when I moved to the crosshair - took no time at all getting 4ghz cpu and 3ghz ram using docp profile which changed bclock.

Had successfully run all sorts of benchmarks including occt linpack, aida64, etc.

But last night got blue screen playing call of duty... Then it just kept restarting at post.

Ive had that also. Any oc fail ends up getting stuck in a post loop. Try increasing your ram voltage.
