Do i need excel to use the sheet, its read only for me.
Save as to your own gdrive
Yes beta
Oh right prime Mobo. No button. It might self reset after 2 mins tho
Cool got it working, was afraid to have jumped the gun to early by getting some 2800MHz kit wen the prizes were skyrocketing. Thanks for getting out the learnatorium.
The editing quality has gone up recently. Good job guys!
Wendell - I could use some advice.
I have the Gaming 5 board and have gone through 4 bios versions F4, F5d, F5g, and currently on F5j.
I have a set of Dual Channel G.Skill FlareX 3200 RAM (F4-3200C14D-16GFX) This stuff is "Made for AMD/Ryzen" and is supposed to be XMP supported. There have been people who have posted they have this exact kit, turn on XMP, and boom....3200 at the factory timings 14-14-14-34. Well, no luck on my end. I have tried every option under the sun on this board over the weekend. Ram compatibility on/off. XMP on/off. Manual timings, voltage, etc. Nothing seems to work. Randomly at one point I reset to factory defaults and turned on XMP and set it to 2933 and it booted. It ran in windows 10 for about 20 minutes before crashing, rebooting, and resetting memory back to 2400. I could not replicate it and would never post with XMP enabled. With everything set to auto, it boots the sticks at 2400 with 16-16-16-39 timings. If I try to manually set those timings and speed and put the voltage up to 1.35, it won't boot. Auto is the only thing I can run. The issue is I keep hitting an F9 on the debug display on the board and then it shutsdown and restarts 3 times before the board resets the bios and I can boot back into it.
Using your timings spreadsheet, I will try to set higher timings on RAM. I tried timings up to the low 20's but I don't think I went as high as your spreadsheet suggests. So I can give that a shot.
I would be curious to your thoughts on my situation. Maybe I am missing something in the bios?
Also, Gigabyte is releasing official F5 bios tomorrow apparently. I think it will be a mimic of F5j but not sure. I am actively following the Gigabyte forums and trying to find solutions there as well.
Thanks for your videos!

try the "dram compatibility" option above xmp. I forget the exact wording but that uses the old style training and should work better on the kit of ram you have. try 2933 at 14-14-14-34 as well ?
Dont! I like the shirt. You should totally do an episode of the news with that shirt.
Also, the Learnatorium is the best thing to happen since the linus wall skit at the end of the SAN video.
I have. One user has claimed to know the F9 fault error and ways around it, but his process did not work for me. I have tried compatibility on with XMP on and set to 2933 with no success. I have tried compatibility on and XMP off and manual timings, voltage, and clock speed set with no success.
With the Gaming 5, is there a difference to using the Clear CMOS button at the top (corner) vs, removing the battery?
I will try higher timings, but for some reason this GSkill memory I thought would be plug and play, hence why i opted for it in the first place. Do you think i would need to go abover 1.35v to hit 3200 or even 2933 with stock timings?

the clear cmos is always squirrely. I always load defaults immediately after recovery and go from there. what cpu is it?
try to up the SOC voltage to 1.25 v?
do that before increasing ram voltage beyond 1.35v.
It is somewhat cpu dependent and this sounds crazy but reseating your cpu may help
Here are my specs and what I set to get it to 2933 originally but now, even after a bios reflash and clear, I cannot mimic these settings and get them stable at 2933. I must use "auto" or no boot.
Ryzen 1700X (Cooled by a Kraken X62)
Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5
GSkill FlareX F4-3200C14D-16GFX
GTX980 FTW x2 (Currently in Single Card to access bios switch and battery)
I have the CPU Overclocked to 3.85
CPU Clock 38.5
Core Perf Boost - ON
AMD Cool/Quiet - OFF
SVM Mode - OFF
C-State - OFF
SMT Mode - AUTO
Downcore Control - AUTO
CPU VCore - 1.325
VCore SOC - 1.2
Dynamic Vcore DVID - Auto
Dynamic Vcore SOC - Auto
CPU VDD18 - Auto
CPU VDDP - Auto
DRAM Voltage - 1.35
DDRVPP Voltage - Auto
DRAM Term - Auto
CPU Load Line - Turbo
VAXG Loadline - Turbo
All the setting above work no matter what clock I set my RAM until 3200.
Ram settings are:
XMP - Disabled (Will not post when enabled even on a stock bios with just XMP enabled)
DDR Compatibilty - Disabled (Tried enabled with XMP and no post)
System Memory Multiplier - 29.33
Memory Timing Mode - Advanced Manual
Channel Interleaving - Auto
Rank Interleaving - Auto
Channel A Sub Timings - Manually set to 14-14-14-14-34
Channel B Sub Timings - Auto (I'm in slots 1/3 Channel A)
This is stable at 2933 and the CPU overclock. Now whenever I try to hit 3200 it fails. I have tried upping my DRAM voltage in steps up to 1.4 with no success.

for sure up the vcor soc to 1.25, then maybe try stock speeds, then maybe try reseating the memory
slots should be 2/4
then try reseating the cpu
Really? Slots 2/4? Manual says for dual channel 2 sticks in slots 1/3. I will admit the other user did suggest 2/4 and when I put them in those slots the system froze as soon as it loaded the bios. I was never able to work in bios with my memory in 2/4. I will try this again though.
Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it goes.

I did all my testing in the slot furthest from cpu + the one that was one slot away from closest to the cpu. Slot 2/4. Just try one thing at a time.
ok then we are talking about the same slots. That is how I have mine configured.
CPU > Empty > DDR4 > Empty > DD4
k, that should be right. Might try the other way just for giggles? But try the other stuff too just in case. Many motherboards have the opposite slot layout and it feels like an eternity ago that I looked at this board
This is correct. If you want dual channel on that board you want to use DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 (it's marked on the board). I couldn't do anything overclocking-wise until I had the memory in that slot layout.
The slots are like this:
CPU -> DDR4_4 -> DDR_4_2 -> DDR4_3 -> DDR4_1
CPU -> --- CHANNEL A --- -> --- CHANNEL B --
So your current layout puts them on different channels, which is correct. It's confusing because, visually, slots 2 and 4 are slots 1 and 2.
Could you provide some details on what, exactly, VCOR SOC is? Is there already info in one of the videos? I can't seem to find any information on it, which makes me afraid to touch it (though I did and bumped it up to 1.2v anyway).
Does SOC = System on a Chip?
yes, that's the thing that is monitoring all those sensor points and doing the heavy lifting. 1.25v soc voltage let me dial in ddr4-3600 at fsb112 (ddr4-2666 equiv) and ddr4-3200 while being very stable.
soc is the amd system on chip in ryzen that does quite a bit.
What would you recommend as a safe max for the SOC voltage?
