To give way of Threadripper?

anyone here successfully overclock ram to 2666mhz? currently using x2 of this model ram CMK8GX4M1A2666C16 (corsair vengeance lpx 2666mhz), asrock x370 gaming k4 and ryzen 1500x. tried using xmp 2.0 profile but unstable.

Some say because of AMD's got great yield from the 14nm wafer.

I'm using same board as you before (sold it after few weeks & bought Asus C6H), paired with Corsair dominator platinum 3200mhz C16 (4x8GB) able to reach 2666mhz, my cpu is Ryzen 1700 btw.

omg
seem like ryzen mobo still not stable ..
need to get 1k mobo only support till 2666mhz = =

Ryzen is new product for AMD, some hiccups here & there is quite normal, AMD is trying its best to overcome all these issues, the new Agesa 1.0.0.6 microcode update is going to solve the ram issue according to AMD, right now some motherboard manufacturers have released their beta bios & the feedback from users are quite positive.

bro, i've check the asrock x370 gaming k4 support bios update, both is 2.40 but different size (*edited my bad, one is for DOS one is for BIOS)will it patch the ram performance issue?

another question is, if i update to 2.40 from 2.10 will i get the benefits of bios version 2.30? (sorry noob question, first time update bios)

I think the ver2.40 is still not incorporated with the new agesa microcode otherwise it will stated in the description. For your question flash from ver2.10 direct to 2.40 by skipping 2.30, you will still get whatever updates from 2.30.

thank you so much! so meaning for now i should just stick to default speed and wait for the agesa version 1.0.0.6?

Worth to read this

hmm may be wait volta or vega confirm release
then only go for ryzen rig

But any B350 board can OC a 1600 or 1700 to 3.9GHz, only that RAM speed will be at 2400 right?

Right now depends on which brand/model/ram chip, samsung b die chip (3200mhz) has a very high chance straight to run 3200mhz just by xmp/docp setting, after new bios update this compatibility issue could be solved.

guise, what board to go for? MSI b350m mortar arctic or Asrock ab350m Pro4 ?

on Memory QVL list, MSI have plenty more than Asrock, but ofc user feedback is much important than qvl list

ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero Ryzen Motherboard Review

get the MSI

Asrock B350 boards have kinda crappy VRMs

Because the yield is higher than expected.

Anybody using msi x370 sli plus? is it a good board? seen reviews and people complained about its slow post? I am planning to get ryzen and that is the board that I would be getting.

Asus prime b350 plus is also good alternatives. Great vrm in b350 range

asus warranty in malaysia... uhuk

edit: too bad there are no b350m prime plus
