If you don't have any intentions to overclock that ram any further or lower the timings you can update to the newest BIOS. One of the users here likes the 1.20 bios because it allows for a few more adjustments that aren't in the newer releases but if you're just going to run them in the default...

I would recommend you go for a 3200mhz so-dimm at 18CL you could buy 2 here 3200@18-Newegg and still be under $100 but that is about as low as I would go in speed and latency, since you cant overclock the CPU or IGPU (for now) so your ram speed is essentially going to be what decides the...

I suppose I was being a bit silly to assume that a majority of people go out of their way to look specifically for B Dies. You're right. The average consumer could care less about their ram manufacturer and it was nearsighted and self centered of me to assume that everyone was like me. I agree...

You sure? Isn't the A300 almost identical to the A320 chipset? By all means I could be wrong but I have faith. Are the STX boards really that different?

It's weird to say ram is ram is ram when we all clearly know that Ryzen performance is determined by the manufacture of the die of your ram and the speed and latency it is capable of, as a Threadripper user I know this to be very much dependent on what ram you choose. I had to spend $500+ on...

I really wish I could find that product but reversed so its DIMM-to-SODIMM. I can't find any talk of one online because of very few STX platforms being commonly run out there that would actually have the ability to use such a adapter.

Yes it does. I found it under the basic CPU settings. I can update you with the exact section of the BIOS it's in later in the day. I'm on BIOS 3.40. What are you running?

Thank you guys and gals. The more people we can get on this the higher the chance for someone to claim the bounty for a custom bios. Maybe if we start defining dollar amounts someone will get interested. I'll be the first to pitch in 100 USD for an overclockable bios. Of course 3000 APUs would...

I bumped up the voltage to 1.35, yes. I have yet to try out 3.20, I've been running 3.40. Maybe I'm booting but I'm not stable. I need to run a proper RAM stability test. I've just been using the CPU-Z stress test. Update: used Memtest64 and was not stable at previous timings (15-16-16-16) but...

Funny. I just bought that Noctua yesterday. Mainly because I was sick of tying to shove the AMD cooler into that tiny case (I like to swap the 2.5 drives a lot) more than for heat reduction reasons, also have other SFF builds in mind that I could use it for and it seems to be one of a kind. As...

Still hoping someone could post the tightest timings they could get with the G Skill 3200C18D-16GRS @3200mhz (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232724) if anyone else has the models with Hynix dies, Samsung timings won't help a whole lot unfortunately.

I would say based on price ($120) this one that I got that was recommended in the forums https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232724. I bought the Kingston initially but the dies are Micron which IMHO are the worst you can get and were the same price. If you feel like you...

Yeah, Newegg RMA's are a a total PITA though. Any other source that has that set has the cost marked up more that the $130 Newegg price and because they're these little random electronics sites I imagine it would be even more trouble to return it to if it was Hynix again. Amazon doesn't seem to...

I purchased the 3200 set and just my luck they must have just switched the manufacturing process because I got Hynix dies. I'm so disappointed. I'm going to be very skeptical of any sodimms from now on. Thinking of selling my whole A300. It's bad enough that it doesn't look like were going to...
