[SOLVED] Ryzen 3400g problems

[LC NOoSE IV]

So I just put together a system using a 3400g on an asrock x570m pro4 with 2x8g gskill ripjaw 5 3600 ram. I know overkill, I'm just using this untill I get money for a better cpu and a dedicated gpu. I've been messing around with it for the past two days and can't seem to get it to work right. It will boot to windows fine with the ram at 3400 mhz because going over crashes the system. When I run any bench or stress test everything seems to hold though I think I'm not getting the full performance from the igpu. Next I loaded up a couple games, first being beamng and the thing chugs like my old laptop. Then I tried loading up csgo because even a potato can run it, and it crashes when it gets to the main menu. And when I mean crash, it shuts down and gets stuck with the fans full blast and I have to turn the system off with the psu. Then I tried running arma 3 a very cpu bound game, in the sandbox editor it seems to run buttery smooth but when I load up a scenario ie. apex missions, it get to loading the environment and crashes like csgo. After all that I tried running at 2933 mhz, the advertised max ram speed the 3400g can take, and tried even 2133 mhz and both have the same crashing issue as before. So my question is, is there anything I can do to make it work fine? Or did I just mess up on the hardware combination and I'm gonna have to start from scratch?

ps all drivers and software are up to date along with mobo bios and misc device firmware.

So looking at the b-die finder I see that there are three options under 150 bucks, ripjaw, trident z, and flare x. All 3200mhz all cas 14. Which kit would have the best quality and heat spreader out of the three?

ripjaw
F4-3200C14D-16GVK
trident
F4-3200C14D-16GTZKW
flare
F4-3200C14D-16GFX

They are probably all the same chip. The heat spreader really doesn't matter, Memory overheating is a thing that never really happened in the first place, get whichever one you think looks cooler. I'd get the Flare X in your case since you have a 3400G which is really Zen +

Ok, I'll update y'all when the kit arrives.

It works, it just works! Stupid slow Hynix die ripjaws, Samsung b-die ftw. So CPU is on default settings because it just works fine even though it's running at 1.52v or whatever >< It gets the same or slightly higher multi-core performance as the 6700k in cpu-z and slightly lower single core performance) and the igpu is running just smooth at 1600 mhz at 1.2v. So until something breaks I guess this thread is closed :3

Yes, its not really running at 1.52, its just spikes, thats fine. The 3400G exacerbates the problem of cheap memory since the iGPU relies on it, and its memory sensitive, in addition to Ryzen being finicky itself.

Glad it worked out.

Perfect. This is exactly why we try to tell people that yes, it really DOES matter whether you buy the cheap stuff or not, sometimes.
