I have a ryzen 5 1600 paired with an asrock killer sli x370 ac and 16gb of gskill ddr4 ram at 3200mhz F4-3200C16D-16GTZR. my problem is while it will boot and run stable for the most part at 3200, i keep getting a weird stutter at random intervals in games and on the desktop. pretty sure its the ram because when i reduce it down to 2133 it goes away. So my question is would the new 2nd gen ryzen cpu or x470 board solve this issue? ram is too dang high to replace so im looking at the the cheaper options first. Thank you

Ahh. There's a difference. Almost all commercialy available ram nowadays is Dual Channel capable. Means it can be paired up with a like stick on the mobo and the memory controller in the cpu will run the ram dual not in single channel.

To get dual channel, you'd use slots 1/3 or more recommended is slots 2/4 (1 next to the socket).

Takes a look at the mobo visually.

Ram in dual channel mode can run upto @20% faster than in single channel mode.

I just upgraded my 1700x to 2700x but it's still on x370 motherboard and I can tell you that RAM is behaving much better. When my x470 arrives I believe it will be even better. With 1700x it was struggling to be stable at 3000 but now it's running smooth and stable at 3333MHz. Definitive improvement.

Bios?

Trident-Z and RipJaws V both use Samsung B-die chips, at the time the most, if not only, ram stable at greater than 2933. Later bios releases including AEGIA, fixed most of the issues, but some still remain for 1st gen Ryzen. The Cas14/15 seemed to have almost no issues, but the cheaper Cas16 did have some.

These microcode fixes are mostly in bios upgrades, but some are included in Windows due to compatability with Win10CE.

2nd Gen Ryzen is the cpu, nothing to do with bios, but will include various tweaks to its Infinity Engine for greater ram compatability. Can't say if that's a sure fix, or a bandaid workaround.

I'd suggest dl the last available bios updates, chipset drivers etc.

Im on the latest bios 4.7 for the killer sli. Up until bios 4.5 i believe i wasn't even able to boot at 3200 so they have improved the bios but im still getting some hitching.
