There is an improvement overall. Everything is still board dependent form the appearances of this article. Both the ASUS Prime X370-PRO and the C6H have been able to run the GSkill F4-3200C14D-16GTZ kits at their rated speed and timings for a long while. The issue are speeds above 3200 for using DOCP. There is one big hiccup still and that is DOCP does not set timings past Tras. One should not have to use programs like Thaiphoon Burner to find out what the extended timings are and setting them manually afterwards. Currently running F4-3600C16D-16GTZ @ 3466 15-15-15-15-35 along with dealing with a cold boot issue. The only issue with 2T running as set is that the Geardown setting needs to be disabled or it is overridden to 1T for any speeds above 2666. GSkill kits are rated for 2T. The bios should have addressed this DOCP event by now. AMD is all over the map with launch after launch. They need to focus on getting the bios basics covered.

Ironic, how the G.Skill Flare X (marketed as being AMD compatible) was on the "failed" list.
I'm using G.Skill myself and my motherboard still has yet to get this update, but I'm feeling pretty good I'll reach the full speed of it whenever I do get the update. The problem is I don't have access to the T2 command rate, which my RAM is set to use. If I can bump it to 3200MHz, I'm happy.

I swear I read on other forums that >3200 xmp ram would work but you had to manually enter the timings. Specifically with the 3600 g.skill cl14 variety.

The new AGESA update will give access to that setting and to a setting that will be labeled exactly like or close to Geardown. That needs to be disabled or CR will run at 1T.

it is hugely informative

Great guide! Thanks Hilbert, now the only diference At 1080p is just clock relates lol in most of cases Intel processors are up when clocks is 4.10GHz or least

Nice update/review on Ryzen performance and memory post release. --- I was under the impression that on most motherboards G Skill was one of the "safest" RAM brands for higher speed DIMMs with Ryzen? Is this just a case of the ASUS Crosshair being more finicky then some of the other high end X370 motherboards?

Awesome stuff! Single most helpful resource on Ryzen RAM settings and compatibility yet.
Question about tRC. Best I can do with my Corsair LPX 3200 is 2666 with timings 14-14-14-32 (can't set tRC). When I open CPU-Z or HWINFO it shows 14-14-14-56-348! Is that normal to have a tRC as high as 348? I don't seem to be able to set tRC, and additionally when I set the tRAS at 34 it seems to automatically adjust to 56. I'm getting good benchmark scores on my Ryzen 1600 at 3.8 GHz so I'm not too worried about it, just curious because that tRC number is sooooo much higher than the 14-14-14-34-48 you posted on page 1. I can post a pic to verify.
Thanks for the expertise!

I honestly am not too much into overclocking. I just wanted a Ryzen system that would work out of the box.
So I got an ASUS Prime B350 Plus and some Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C14.
Now, even with the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update, I can't get my PC to even post at 3200 MHz.
I just checked Amazon and it now says my memory is "for Intel series" (didn't say that when I purchased it).
Am I really an idiot who somehow bought memory that won't do 3200 on Ryzen?
Thanks for any help.

I think i feel bad for my i5 7600k, in early reviews the gap was more significant at 1080p, not it's down to almost zero and in multi threaded games it demolishes i5/i7, more and whats most important it has alot of headroom while i5/i7 is often maxed out in many games...
Well i will stick to that i5 for 2 years or so and jump the six/octa core wagon for sure 🙂

I know the x models are for sissys, but lifes too short for OC for many, even perhaps for some recent ryzen OCers here 🙂.
I note the 1600x is only usd $30 more officially. It doesnt have to save u much time to be worth that premium.
Its probably better binned and has a higher native clock.
A heretical thought is, yeah, the auto OC thing only yields a trifling 100ms result, and only on a few coeres I think, but what if that matured into something quite powerful over time via updates?

Disappointing to hear the Hero is worst for compatibility, and they still haven't put up official releases of the newer agesa bioses. Encouraging results though, thanks!

I have problems with the Corsair vengeance LPX 3200 MHz / CL16 version 5.39 with mobo asrock ab350M pro 4 and ryzen 5 1600. I can reach 2933 with 1.4 volts but it is unstable
You have suggestions to give me? Some magic settings under bios?

With 2800MHz Gskiill Ripjaws V, it works at 2933 as long as I am using just 2 x 8GB. I have the same experience with both an Asus Prime X370 Pro and Asrock X370 Taichi.
