My friend has this motherboard so I am posting for him. Interesting issue he's having. He is using a Ryzen 7 1700 and 4 x 8GB G.SKILL TridentZ RGB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM.
When he updated the BIOS to 0808, he had no issues running all four sticks of RAM at 3200 MHz, manufacturer's rated timings and voltage. The latest BIOS, 0809, broke it and now it won't even boot with 2800 MHz (but does boot with 2133 MHz, he didn't try anything in between). Flashing the BIOS back to 0808 did not fix the issue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to at least get some of that RAM speed back? What BIOS tweaks do you suggest from here? The CPU is not even overclocked at this point.
Another question: what is the best way to control VCore for CPU overclocking? Setting it manually at least above 1.3v locks the CPU to 1.5 GHz. Would using VCore offset instead bypass the issue? If so, which setting to increase? VCore offset on this board has two settings: VCore Sign and VCore Offset, what is VCore Sign (if that is indeed what it is called, he is not 100% sure)?
Thanks in advance. Just trying to get the RAM to run CLOSE to its rated speeds without falling back to just 2 sticks.
