Was it the Gigabyte board you where thinking of? The entry level X370 Gaming Pro Gigabyte board has that issue. The MSI is ok but not great but VRM’s can take up to 4000mhz. Should have bought the Asus Hero board in heinsight. But yeah RAM is fully supported, (had Ripjaws V and Hynix before, could only get 2666mhz no matter what I tried) 32gb kit too. The Trident Z 16gb kit are best possible match.
I got a single post to flash screen and it hung there. (The pic of the car in dos) @3600
3466 is almost perfectly stable. Timings are 18 19 19 19 39.
Im confused on the coding system with MSI an not all Jdec marry up with MSI in the bios as well. This is where I need the help.
The Asus boards are basically Jdec verbatim but MSI have done their own thing and Jdec only matches up in certain parts and not others for command and turn around codes. I hope I’m making sense?
Thank you I’ll have a look at that once I’ve had a sleep as it 1am here lol. But it’s 3600 I’m going for now. I’ve found 1.45 Volts is the sweet spot on the ram. The SOC was on 1.0 then 1.1 no post. Back to auto and post weirdly enough.
But 3466 GTA V 2 hrs one crash, reboot and stable for over 2hrs at 4k. So 3466 not really an issue now.
It’s the push for 3600. If I can reach that with 18 19 19 19 39 I’ll be crying with happiness!
Warframe and Destiny 2 have been the most aggressive tests I have played, like that last crash for tRFC happens after random amount of time and +1 fixes that one, but crashes before that happen within minutes
I smoked wayy too much while thinkering sticks, like going for smoke between every Civ V turn
So yeah if you can help me get to stable cold boot 3600 I’ll be forever grateful!
3466 I’ll work on those minor settings tomorrow to get rock sold cold boot stability. Once again thank you!
If you have any ideas on 3600 I’d be elated to see if they work.
I’ll check back with you tomorrow with results of your recommendations and if you have any idea of how I can achieve 3600 on the back of this please let me know.
I have bought 4000 sticks as well, actually exactly the same Trident-Z CL18 2x8 kit. Idea was to try to get a bit more than 3200 stable and be ready for Ryzen2 (or plus or whatever) in april. Plan to switch from 1600X to 2800X or so. So I will test my luck in the coming days.
Google whats load line calibration’s name with your motherboard
Thats basically the tolerance how much voltage can adjust, and honestly, havent ever had any reason to use anything but the least variation one, and the other end which allows more variation has just caused more heat and is really scary when its suddenly peaking +0.1v+
1800x @4.1
Ram @3466
Voltages not nice @ Core Voltage 1.450 Dram @ 1.450
SOC 1.2125
Timings 16 17 17 17 37
Jdec results for sub timings.
Manual input for tRC 58 tRRD_S 7 tFAW 48 don’t seem to stick with auto although the manual settings are the same.
Can’t wait for a bios update!!
So yeah testing about to begin. Have a feeling I’ll be dropping back to 4.0 for stability across the board though.
4.025Mhz CPU
3466Mhz RAM
Timings:
17
18
18
18
38
CPU volts 1.450
NB 1.2125
RAM 1.440
Timings as bios but set to manual
Ohm’s 60.
Further testing but 4.1 no go. 4.050 on the ragged edge of stability with hard lock or freeze ups after game testing. (GTA 5 ULTRA 4K single player Trevor at the port mission one.)
