Ram Speed and Thermals

[bustedbuddha]

My Rig:
Ryzen7 1700x on a coolermaster stock air cooler
Gigabyte AX-370-gaming 3 (Bios 8A0660B: from 6/19/17)
2x 8gb no name DDR4 2400
Zotac 1080ti amp
EVGA 650W Platinum
256GB SSD and 2TB HDD
Alternate Coolermaster 5 case (can't find one to link with same internal structure, but similar good airflow with 3 fan in up front and 1 fan out)

I tried upgrading to 32GB 2x16 of G-skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200, I saw significant thermal increase and it became unstable. Doing some research I found that my systems Bios was from before the update to increase Ryzen Ram compatibility, but I also found that this RAM kit was not on the motherboards supported RAM list (link: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-ax370-gaming3.pdf) . I've since removed that ram and gone back to what came with the comp.

I would like to expand my amount of ram and I've heard Ryzen performance is tied to ram speed so I would like to increase that as well. Some of the research I've seen said some thermal increase is expected with Ram Speed increase but the thermal increase I saw seems high. Ideally I'd like to see 32GB at 3200. I'm willing to get an AIO if that's going to be necessary, But I also clearly need to update my BIOS, and I may need to switch out to different Ram.

What do you guys suggest?

Sorry for the long post I tried to include as much info as possible.

First off, cool system!

Realistically, you need help from overclockers -you are overclocking it, right? Or are you saying after the memory upgrade, without any overclocking (manual or auto), it became unstable?

Have you fiddled with the BIOS?

If overclocking, what is your configuration?

Which program are you using to monitor temps and what temps are you seeing?

Which revision is your motherboard?

There are BIOS updates: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-3-rev-1x#support-dl

I have not overclocked it at all, just loaded the XMB profile, which is why I thought the thermals were unusual.

I have not made modifications to the bios yet, but am considering updating it as part of the solution, even then there's the question of the ram compatibility.

Also: should I expect to need better than the coolermaster small cooler I have (I don't know the model, but it is less robust than Spire I have on other computer)

re-reading Juniper's post I see I missed a couple things.
I have not yet fiddled with Bios

I am not yet overclocking, I saw the thermals increase when running XMB profile

I'm using MSI afterburner to monitor but I'm seeing the increase as compared to other measurements taken with afterburner.

I believe Revision 1. (this one: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-rev-1x#kf)
