I am using 2x16GB) 3200MT/s CL22-22-52 1.20V (G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3200C2D-32GRS), only enable xmp 3200mhz at 1.35V, do you have any tips on overclocking the ram a bit, to gain a lettle performance?

A question what is the bandwidth that you get from it?I have the Kingston 2x8gb and without touching voltage it can go up to 3800mhz stable without heatsinks.

I thought i would be able to edit the post to add the second graph but it seem i cannot....The System was able to boot with 4200mhz and it was running with 4000mhz But with errors....(when stressed,gaming) The ram is without heatsinks.

No account needed, I reuploaded the BIOS files:
Thanks for doing that, but I was still unable to see any files until I switched browsers to MS Edge. After doing that I finally noticed that Firefox keeps redirecting your URL back to the default https://uploadnow.io/en/share . I've tried disabling uBlock Origin for this site, also turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection, but still can't stop this redirect behavior. Strange...

Is the consensus that 2.00 takes away features? I was tempted to ask support for an IOMMU capable version when it's properly released, but won't bother if it removes useful features vs 1.9x

I've not used curve optimiser before, would it be useful for reducing power draw for an always-on server? Long-term stability is my only requirement.

have you also manually set the fclk to 1900mhz?
Yes,from the bios,and after much trial and error i managed to make it stable at 3800mhz without heatsink.

Edit:This is what i remember at least,i did that for sometime tho so im not sure...if i manually changed it or it just did it by itself.

I cannot even overclock this ram a little , like 3400mhz stable,
I had increased the ram spped to 3400mhz and fclk to 1700mhz,
but the system will crash after a while

Did you tried to loosen the primary timings a bit? My ram is Samsung D die.Not sure what your is but you can see it with Thaiphoon burner program

should i just copy your ram sub timmings at 3800mhz?
https://prnt.sc/54Yv7pq0qktT
did you amend any SOC voltage ?
I did not touch the voltages at all,my ram tho is Samsung D-die,and yours is micron,so they might not react the same with the timings.You can try mine and see if it works,if not you can loosen them a bit to make them work.I wouldn't try 3800 at once tho,start with lower like 3600 maybe.

If it doesnt work try loosening the secondary timings tRRDS-tRRDL tFAW, like 6-6-24 along with tWTRS-tDTRL-tWR 8-8-32. And tRFC-tRFC2-tRFC4 try higher values for them also.And if it works start working with them little by little to see where its optimal. Basically when i did mine i started with the fastest XMP and started slowly working from there,mostly with the timings i said above.Also in timings check Gear down mode,it should be in auto.

PS:For testing rams stability im using Dram calculator.It will stop on any memory error.
Ps1:If you care for games this and the igpu oc from 1900 to 2350 gave me 20% more fps in Days Gone.

Besides Curve Optimizer I don't think so. You can lower the PPT manually though, which won't cost much performance, especially if you add 200 MHz via Boost Overdrive.
when i add 200 MHz via Boost Overdrive with curve optimizer -20 for 5700g
the core voltage could increase to above 1.4v for a moment,
Is it safe to let the core voltage rise to above 1.4v for long term usage?
or i need to lower the PPT to decrease the max core voltage limit?

I don't see a problem with that, if it doesn't get too high, but at the end you've to decide if it's worth the risk. ;)

I've seen boards using up to 1.48v, but if you want to be safe, 1.45v max sounds good to me.
other than the voltage, for the setting of PBO limit and PBO scalar,
if i prioritize to be safe, it is better to set PBO limit to disable and the scalar to 1X?

If possible, just leave them on Auto, that should leave the limits and scalar at their correct settings for the CPU to decide when it's time to throttle, etc.
