Ram speeds are based on Intel's XMP specs. You have to enable XMP in bios to use it.
As well because it is based on an Intel spec, AMD does not treat it as the holy grail. To get full benefit of the memory speeds or overclock further you need to massage your ram timings and voltages. That can get pretty complicated. If you need to go that route I recommend the Ryzen Dram Calculator available here (and other places via google):The calculator lets you plug in your desired values and will spit out a bazillion settings for you to use. Yeah, I'm trying to identify what really needs to be thrown out here - is it the motherboard itself or the ryzen platform?Would it make most sense to hold onto the ram, and upgrade the motherboard and cpu soon if not currently / or just one of the two?I'm having a heck of a time getting the motherboard to update bios past version P3.40 right now as well. I have tried BIOS update via windows, via USB in bios, and then via Internet Connection in bios, and I'm getting nowhere. The method tells me the rom isn't correct, the second doesn't detect a file on the usb drive, and the third tells me that I'm up to date with the bios.

Which isn't correct as there's a lot of versions up from this one.P3.50 should be updated to first - and then the other most current version to follow. I've tried to get to P3.50 and no luck.Thinking this board needs to go soon - and or possibly use it as an excuse to upgrade to a faster Ryzen chip - OR ditch Ryzen and go to Intel.That is. If Intel platform will carry/use the ram that I have without an issue. I am on Bios 3.4 right now. I have flashed boards before, I'm quite confused that the board won't take any 3 of my tried / methods to flash.
Rubs me the wrong way - I can try another go at it tonight when I have some time.At end of work day I'll try to punch to 2933 and then go back and see if I can get any kind bios update to stick. Working from home so the computer I'm on now is also work required til EODOut of curiosity if I have to push voltage to get past 2933, what's safe for this ram? And or, should I be touching that as of yet. Okay, so I've adjusted timings to the 14-14-14-34, looks good to go.
The voltage for the dram was at 1.2v. Shouldn't it be 1.35v?
I put it up to 1.35v. We'll see if it runs stable at this setting.We're still at 2933, I tried to boot with 1.35v with the good timings @ 3200 and it just crashed. At least it got me further along. To the welcome menu of windows anyway.What's max voltage for this ram? Should I push 1.4 - 1.45 to test 3200 out?Booted into windows at 1.45 at 3200 - crashed Black Ops 4 after a few minutes of play.Relax timings to 15-15-15-35 and keep 3200? What say the hive. Yeah, not sure I'm going to get much of a performance jump by going to a motherboard right now - what would I get.

5%-8% performance after getting ram tweaked out possibly overclocked a little?System is only a year and a half old for me so I'll let it sit for a while but if I get this itch this summer I'll see what makes most sense to move over to when it hits 2 years. Still a premature time-line to upgrade but if it can be done for $300-$400 out of pocket with recycled ram for a huge performance boost - 50-60%. Why not.I'm mostly looking for medium to low detail settings on modern games at 1440p with high FPS. While it's dependent on GPU, CPU may itch to be a larger factor in some of these cases.
