Error code from the Tomahawk B350 motherboard when configuring memory to 3200MHz
Error code from the Tomahawk B350 motherboard when configuring memory to 3200MHz
I'm attempting to turn on OC in a Tomahawk B350 motherboard. For BOIS, I enabled A-XMP and set the memory frequency to 3200MHz. After that, I face this error: "All settings were reset to default values. The previous overclock setting have failed, system has been restored to its default settings." I'm using the specified components and haven't altered the Ryzen 5 CPU defaults. Do I need to follow any extra steps to activate 3200MHz overclocking?

Is there a memory listed in the QVL? There are some recent articles about the Ryzen memory controller, AGESA and UEFI, along with their ongoing issues. It’s advised to stick with QVL RAM until these are resolved.

The memory in question is F4-3200C16D-16GTZB,
and it isn’t included in the support list for the Tomahawk B350. The maximum speed it can reach is 2933 MHz before it can no longer start. Since this chip is built for Intel, that’s likely the reason.
I own the same RAM, but the RGB model runs at 3200mhz on...
Is that memory on the QVL? There have been some articles about the Ryzen memory controller, AGESA and UEFI recently... and the issues it still faces. It's advised to stick with QVL RAM until those problems are resolved.

The specific memory model, F4-3200C16D-16GTZB, isn't listed in the support list for the Tomahawk B350. Its maximum speed can reach up to 2933 MHz before it becomes unable to start. This appears to be related to its compatibility with Intel chips.

The memory model,
F4-3200C16D-16GTZB,
is not listed in the support list for the Tomahawk B350.
The DDR speed can reach up to 2933 MHz before it becomes unable to start. This RAM is built for an Intel chip, which seems to be the problem.
I don't believe that using RAM optimized for Z170 or X99 is the cause of its compatibility issues with AMD's chipsets. It's worth noting there isn't a single 16 GB module in the supported memory list; the concern might lie in the stacking of the RAM.

The memory,
F4-3200C16D-16GTZB
,
is not on the support list for the Tomahawk B350.
The DDR speed can get to a maximum speed of 2933 MHz before it is incapable of starting. The memory is designed for an intel chip so I believe this is the issue.
I have the same ram, the RGB version though, running at 3200mhz on an MSI B350m Mortar, the Tomahawk's little brother, and the problem ive found with that CL16 RAM, is they use 2 different types of chips on it, its just pick of the luck which one you get, I have Hynix chips on mine and they seem to reach 3200mhz just like the Samsung B-die chips without any problem, If you want to guarantee Samsung B-die chips, you need to get the CL14 3200mhz kit, much more expensive.
AMD RyZen had a lot of problems at first release running Hynix chips on memory and I think with the last bios update, this was one of their main concerns to get fixed.
However, G.skill also seem to use Samsung E-Die chips on those CL16 modules too, and those are the problem, not optimised in the bioses yet, but updates and fixes will come 2933mhz (3000mhz) is plenty fast enough, on first release you were lucky if you could get them to run above 2133mhz, just need to be patient for now.
