Anyone have any luck getting ram stable @ 3466 with strap only on a G5 or K7? F6f or F6g bios.

3466 C14-14-14-14-34-1T should be easy.

Just don't go straight into it. Train your IMC to 3200 first. Then set it to 3466.

I'm at 3333 14-13-13-26 1T @ 1.38v. 500% coverage on memtest; vdimm @ 1.38, vsoc @ 1.05v, vcore @ 1.31v. Haven't really touched any other voltages.

I've tried 2T, super loose subtimings (matching g.skill 3600 c16 b-die kit timings), c16/c18, up to 1.44v for vdimm, and disabling bank group/gear down. I can boot and begin testing but I think I'm missing something obvious to help stabilize, memtest fails within 1-5mins. Not sure where to go atm

For reference G.Skill 3200C14 2x8GB Kit, b-die

** forgot to mention cold booting 3200 and 3333 from defaults cause 0 issues; no loops, no hangs, or multiple trainings

Question to you my dudes.

Anyone else has seen a 30% cache performance loss from F6F to F6G on the AX370 Gaming 5?

@rv8000, I've exactly the same experience as you. Can't get 3466 stable to save my life, but 3333, even at super low timings is no probs.

Me having trouble getting 3333 error free. About tried most options now on my Gaming 3..

Getting sad. ;_;

Hi everybody, just installed my 1800x on the AB350 M gaming 3, but i've noticed a temperature of the motherboard ( i'm still out of the case, on the desk) of 50° (the black heatsink near the port is damn hot!) with light work (cpu with aio liquid freezer 240 with 2 fan of 28/30°)

Is it normal a temperature like this?

I've installed a pair of vengeance LPX 3000mhz CL15, actually they run (first install) 2100mhz, any experience with these?

I also have an AB350M-Gaming 3 board, i'm using a 1700 processor.

If that's processor temp it's quite high for being at idle. If you're browsing BIOS setup screens the processor is racing along with no c-state or cool-n-quiet throttling, or so it seems to me, so it gets pretty warm. The OS will try to park cores and other things to reduce power consumption at idle.

If it's a motherboard sensor i think being out of case hurts since the case establishes an airflow that cools components. Put a big fan on it.

The VRM's do get very hot with an 8 core processor; it's only a 4 phase design (for core). The FET's are rated 125C operating but the processor will be throttled when temps exceed 105C or so. Since you're running an AIO there's no processor heat sink fan to aid VRM cooling so it's a good idea to direct a fan on the VRM heat-sink to keep it cool if you're planning long duration process-intensive activities especially overclocked (during stress testing in particular). This isn't just for stability or protecting the VRM: the FET's high temps will degrade motherboard PWA material over time.

But I'd suggest you not overclock that processor on this board, btw. Not because of the VRM's (or maybe it is) but because you'll not likely get it to 4gig with any success. I'm at 3.85g and i have to keep voltage high to overcome droop (which the board doesn't help you know how much and doesn't have LLC anyway) so the VRM's overheat and throttle back. So I feel that's pretty close to capped for an all-core overclock which is pretty good for a 1700 but way below the boost clock of an 1800x and way, way, below XFR speed. So you'd lose out on single/dual/quad core performance which the majority of apps still need more of.

Get the latest bios, it's beta but has AGESA 1006. With that micro-code some vengeance LPX modules have been explicitly tested by AMD for compatibility. I believe they have version numbers something like 5.31 or maybe 5.29. Certain version numbers have Samsung B die but I have to think you'd know if you got them because they'd probably be more expensive (than the non b-die versions) and leave you wondering.

So I decided to chang emy color scheme to blue... meaning that I have to paint my Gaming 5, this is how it turned out. Not 100% happy but will do.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on this site and I ran into an interesting problem. Hopefully, I can get some help here. I recently upgraded from an FX 8350 to a Ryzen 7 1700. I've been very impressed with it until now. I have it on a Gigabyte x370 Gaming K7 motherboard and my first run of Cinebench posted a score of about 1552. It now suddenly gets about 580. I the task manager and made sure everything was normal and that the CPU was actually idling. I ran it again and got about the same score. It also showed that all 16 threads were fully utilized during the bench test. The odd thing here is that although I have the CPU set to run at 3.7 GHz in the BIOS CPUZ only shows it running at 1.55 GHz? Has anyone seen this before or have a clue what's going on?

My K7 likes that way. 3000-3200, then jump to higher freq on next boot. On a later boot i set lower timmings. Just... cant do it all at once. MB ends with E6- 36 error or F9 loops. Better taking some extra time for solid configuration

Okay, thanks so much for the suggestion to take it slow and increase things incrementally. I was able to get 3.4 GHz stable on the CPU and 2666 stable on the memory. I'll leave it there for a little while and then increase it another step to 3.6 on the CPU and 2933 on the memory later on. I'll probably attempt it either later tonight or tomorrow after I get off of work. +Rep.

If you have issues increasing ram multiplier, try using BCLK instead (if you are with K5 or K7). This is useful for Ram with bad support like old kits with Samsung E-Die (some came from X99 early days at the end of 2015) in 4x4 or 2x4GB.

At least with F3 BIOS for Aorus K7 I cant use more than 2666 MHz (x26.00 RAM) with that one but can rise from that point with BCLK until 2975 MHz (124 MHz x 24.00).

Most of us come from Intel platforms and there is very common to to everything in 1 boot. I glashed F4 BIOS yesterday and will be doing some testing. Maybe I can increase frequency further or just go for a more compatible Samsung B-Die kit.

Regards

Count me in: GA-AB350M Gaming 3, flashed to F5 (release) BIOS.

OK, so I decided to have a go at OC'ing this GA-AB350M Gaming 3 (F5 BIOS). I go M.I.T.->Advanced Frequency Settings->CPU Clock Ratio. But when I hit enter (or double-click the mouse) on "CPU Clock Ratio" nothing happens - there's no facility to enter a different value so it stays stuck on "Auto". Has anyone else experienced this?

dun have the same board, but have you tried using "+" or " -" keys to adjust the value?

Didn't think of that, thanks - will give it a try.

OK, so that suggestion worked!

Currently have it @ 3.4GHz, stock voltage with the RAM @ 2.93GHz. Stock cooler too, with stock thermal grease.

Currently running Prime95 for stability testing. I don't have temps though (no support in Linux kernel...yet).

wow...well...i did note this AM that someone was spewing some super angry, insultingly hateful posts in Beta BIOS topic. I don't know if this is related, but then I do remember thinking WOW the forum needs some moderating.

Nuclear option to the rescue??
