I'm facing issues with clocks above 3000MHz on my Corsair Vengeance 3000MHZ CL15 system with two 8GB XMP memory sticks. The ASUS B350F with Ryzen 1700 BIOS doesn't seem to support DOCP and DOCP standard properly. It looks like the chipset can't handle odd-numbered clocks, so Cl15 might need to be upgraded to Cl16. I've tried using a DRAM calculator but got many missing fields in the BIOS settings. No advice was given.
You have an 8 gigabit Hynix AFR chip, which isn’t ideal for Ryzen processors. However, a 3200MHz option could work if the timings are correct. It’s worth noting that early Ryzen models don’t handle high mem clocks well, so 3000MHz might be your best bet.
Consider checking the B350's status indicators first. If unsure about its condition, wait until you're certain it's not restricted or experiencing RAM issues before proceeding.
Talking to friends familiar with Ryzen RAM overclocking, they believe the boost won’t be significant. It mainly depends on the CPU’s IMC and the RAM. Timings might cause issues if too high, but they won’t harm the hardware as long as they’re correct. Voltage sensitivity is the real concern. There’s a tool that can estimate suitable timings, though I can’t confirm it will succeed. It’s worth trying, especially for 3200MHz.
Does your B350-F BIOS include the 'Gear Down Mode'? This adjustment fixes the DRAM timing to even-numbered values. Unclear if it existed on earlier Ryzen models. The ASUS BIOS likely offers this option, though the label might differ. A simple fix would be to modify the main timings (like the first five settings). For more precise control, explore the secondary and tertiary timings. Detailed DDR4 overclocking instructions... https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHel...aster/DDR4 OC Guide.md
