For Strix B350F owners,

Have you tried updating the BIOS to 3401?
Do you experience memory problem?

Mine , have alot of memory error even at stock settign (gsat test)
though on normal use, no crash

Anyone pls advise, thank you
 
Solution
When I built the PC back in Sep, I just ran some benchmarks like unigine and prime95. I have never stressed my PC using gsat test. It is THE most stressing test for RAM and I have heard that Google uses to stress test their servers. I have no intention of running it in my system. I like the peace of mind that I have right now because I think that my PC is the most stable in the world. :)

Hi, yes I am using the same BIOS with trident z RGB 2x8GB kit. Check my signature. I have no problems whatsoever except that my RAM still doesn't go up to 3000 MHz. It caps out at 2800, which is fine by me and Asus website also mentions that 3000 Mhz is only supported for a single stick. I have not ran a test though. I am talking about normal usage. My PC is switched on 24x7 as it uploads videos when I am not using it to Youtube. When I do use it, its mainly for gaming 90% of the time. I have seen no system crashes whatsoever. With the previous BIOS, I wasn't able to go above 2666 on my RAM for whatever reasons.

Could you post the rest of your PC specs please? There may be some other issue at play here. I am not eliminating RAM as the cause, but it would help if I see the rest of your build. Also, please mention what speeds your RAM is running at. I assume gaming is fine with your PC or whatever you do with it?

My complete spec :
Ryzen 5 1600
Strix B-350F
Vengeance LPX 16 GB (8X2) 3000 CL15
RX 580 8GB
ANTEC Gold 550W
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB + Seagate 1TB

my system was stable on BIOS 0902, (CPU 3,85 RAM 2933)
since then, all BIOS UPDATE get me unstable

now on 3401, i m able to achieve higher CPU OC 3,95
but my RAM always error on gsat test, even at stock clock&timing
im sure that is not stick problem, just tested memtest86 DOS , 12 passes passed (almost 12 hours test)
If only for normal use, i never get crash in windows, even i can boot up with 3066/3200MHz

what timing are u using?

I think it is CL 15. My system is not overclocked at all except the undervolt of the graphics card. My RAM's DOCP profile says 3000 MHz, but successfully run at 2800 max. Rest all settings are stock except changing the command rate from auto to 2T. I am at work right now. I will post the correct info in the evening when I get home.

All DDR4 memory beyond 2133MHz is considered as overclock
yes, let me know you setting , especially the DRAM timings
