Hello everyone, thanks in advanced for your time. Recently I purchased a ryzen 7 1700, asrock x370 taichi and 2 x 8g g skill flare x ram 3200 1.35v which i added to my old 750w gold psu, 225g ssd, and r9 390. My issue is that I cant seem to get a stable overclock on the ram. I understand this is a memory question but different mobos have different issues so I chose to post here. On auto the base is set at 2400 1.2v and it wont seem to budge off of that. Ive only tried a few things such as upping the volts to 1.425 and changing ohms to 60 from auto. Any questions let me know and thanks again.

Might have to boost SoC voltage to 1.000V or 1.050V.

I'm still running 2400 RAM on mine though.

Ill try that out thank you. Is 2400 your ram speed or do u have a faster set and 2400 is all you can get?

No, it's 16GB (2x8GB) of Team DDR4-2400 16-18-18-38 2T 1.2V.

I was able to run it at 2667, 18-18-18-41 1.30V or maybe it was 1.35V.

I upped the Soc voltage and same stability issue. I post no matter what I do but it just runs like garbage.

Hey guys so I got a new 1700 today from amazon and it WAS better for a few hours lol.
Old - Stock cine15 @ 1370. Hit a huge wall at 3.7 @ 1.325v. Ram wouldn't load anything > 2400 and ran hot as hell.
New - stock cine15 @ 1435. Got it to 3.8 @ 1.3v. Got ram to run at 3200 pretty damn cleanly.

I tried to push 3.9 @1.4v seeing how hot it would get but when I booted I was stuck at 1.55ghz. I had the issue with my previous r7 but fixed it with turning off "cool and quet" and c6. I tried to just dial in the ram again but it wasn't stable with the SAME exact V and timings. This is crazy.

1.4v shouldn't be necessary for 3.9ghz for the 1700

you never mentioned which BIOS the board was using... ver 2.40 and the reworked mem code should help immensely

If XMP settings do not work for you, clear CMOS and load default settings, then set RAM voltage and timings first, save and reboot. Only then, change the RAM speed to 3200.

ASRock support instructed me to clear cmos, and set ONLY the XMP profile and LLD settings and try to boot. worked like a charm.

board I have is very similar to the Taichi, so it wouldn't suprise me if you had success also... the BIOS are also very alike

Best I can get on my 1700X at 1.35V is 3.8ghz with the 2.40 BIOS. Some chips are just duds.

Thank you Ill try that. Im having weird issues with my cpu...I had a crisp Oc but now if I change my vcore i go all the way down to 1.55ghz. Ive read a lot of people are having the same issue but i cant find a fix for the taichi. Ive even tried to talk to their tech support.

How are you overclocking? Are you forcing one speed or using pstates? I found that if i had more than one custom pstate, it would always force itself to the lowest one available. Seems like a BIOS bug.

Taichi should have new BIOS v 3.00 as of yesterday, bumping AGESA to 1006a

confirmed: X370 Taichi BIOS

The issue wasn't fixed but I think they were aware of it because in 2.4 any bump to vcore made the text red but now in 3.0 it doesn't. I even got a new taichi in case my old one had an issue but both are the exact same. I tried to call asrock a few times, 1 guy couldn't help me but he was helpful in that he actually tried to give me solutions and there was another guy named Pablo that sucked really bad. He told me to email him my issue and he would forward it to whoever in tiawan. He said it would be a 24h thing but nothing came in 2 days so I called up again and it seemed he forgot to send it because he said "oh yea, they sent it this morning. They need more info." i gave him everything detailed. Idk. This is lame that they cant handle a bios. Ryzen master isn't as efficient as bios but i have a solid 3.8 @ 1.35.

Pretty sure I had to disable the "Gear Down" feature in the memory section of the BIOS and force 2T Command Rate.

I am using lvl 3 for vcore and lvl 2 for soc. I had another talk with asrock and they have no clue. Theyre blaming amd even tho I can use master ryzen but not their bios.
