Compatibility Check: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

[shoheb.ewu]

My System:
Processor: Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: ASUS Strix B350-F Gaming, BIOS 4011
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3200Mhz (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) 8GB Single DIMM
Windows: 10 Pro, 64bit (Updated to 1803)
GPU: HD7870 2GB DDR5
SSD: ADATA SU800 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
PSU: Corsair VS450
Chasis: Phanteks P400

Problem:
My board doesn't support XMP, using "Ai Tweaker" I have changed the RAM speed to 3200Mhz keeping other option "Auto", system is very unstable even after updating the bios and updating the windows.

At 2933Mhz is works quite well, no blue screen but sometime it freezes and work again. It is very frustrating. Need some guidance from the community.

*All of the parts are brand new and bought from amazon except the GPU.

ram isnt compatible with your mainboard
asus doesnt have it listes in its compatibility list
for g skill apply same

your ram has Hynix A-Die

Shouldn't I get a stable performance at 2933Mhz, even though the compatibility issue exists?

not at all, with sticks made before ryzen came (intel only) its still about loterry if they work or not

 

[kerberos_20]

from amd: If you only need to use two sticks of RAM, the supported speed varies between DDR4-2400 and DDR4-2933 depending on a wide range of factors including the memory rank, the total number of RAM slots on the motherboard, and the number of PCB layers your motherboard has

2933 is supported on 6 layer PCB (x370/x470)
2666 would be on yours 4 layer PCB

The latest bios updates (past 3803) caused issues with hynix a ram speeds past 2866mhz.

On older bios revisions had no issue running 2933 or 3200mhz.

Your problem is you need to be on the newer bios to run a ryzen gen 2*** cpu.

Drop down to 2866,2800 or even 2666 & you'll likely get rid of all those stability issues.

This problem is well documented On the asus rog official forums.

How to check whether it is stable or not? Using it overclocked for last 6 hours, no blue screen or noticeable performance found!
