Hi there, I'm looking for as much help as I can get because I've been trying to get my ram speed up for as long as I've had this system... so like 6 or 7 months now I think. I guess I'll just try to explain what I've done to try to eliminate a few of the things that you might think might be the issue.

First thing I did when I realized I couldn't hit 3200 was run memtest on stock settings for nearly 48 hours. No issues there so I figured the ram itself was fine. I've tried tinkering with the voltages and timings with no luck. I have yet to mess with that on the latest BIOS. I suppose I'll give that a go first but my expectations are low.

My BIOS is the latest I know of: 7A34v1F

It's more progress than there used to be. I'm not stuck bootlooping anymore and I haven't since maybe 3 updates ago. So I can boot, but after 10 minutes or so my programs start crashing or I just straight up blue screen.

I really wish I could get this figured out. Hopefully I'm not just screwed on this because the 10 minutes it works are the best 10 minutes performance-wise I've ever experienced. Jumped from a 3700 score in the Valley Benchmark to 4400. If you want me to try anything, I'll be glad to give it a shot. Thank you to those of you that choose to read this and help out.

There are a bunch of things to try from raising SOC voltage to loosening timings to raising PROCOdt settings. Lesse... First I'd start with RAM voltage and SOC voltage., SOC you can go as high as 1.2 safely, the RAM voltage you're gonna have to check for your RAM specifically. I know you can go higher than the 1.35, but not sure by how much. If that doesn't help. Loosen timings/raise procodt, Primary timings are most important to stability, but there's a bunch of secondary and tertiary timings to play with too, and they can all affect RAM stability. ProcOdt set somewhere between 40 and 60. Also, this may sound odd, but higher with voltages isn't always more stable. So while it may be decent at 1.35, it might be *more* stable @...

You can literally play with the settings for hours and hours and not get it completely stable. Also, try the Ryzen DRAM Calculator, here google is your friend.

Trust me, I googled quite a bit... but apparently not enough! Tried out the DRAM calculator. I did some tests with the fast settings and it felt so close to being stable but it did end up freezing and crashing. I reset and switched over to the safe settings and I think it might actually be stable. I've only done about an hour of testing but this is as close as I've come.

Here is a screenshot of my specific RAM from Thaiphoon.
Here are the settings I manually entered in my BIOS.

Hopefully I'm doing this right and hopefully future BIOS updates let me use faster settings. Thank you so much for your help!
