Hello, good people!
TL;DR Version
I am able to get it running at 2800 MHz with tight-ish timings, but can't get above 2800 no matter what voltage or timings I use. Halp plz.
Long Version
I am not new to overclocking, but I haven't had a new computer since the FX-6300 came out. I am struggling to get even the rated speed out of my memory with my new build. First, here are my specs:
- AMD Ryzen 2700X (stock, not overclocked), Wraith Prism cooler
- EVGA GTX 960 SSC (yes, I need an upgrade)
- AsRock Master SLI/ac x470 Motherboard
- Corsair Dominator Platinum Special Edition Blackout 2x16 GB DDR4 RAM (CMD32GX4M2C3200C14M), rated 3200 MHz CL14 and Corsair says each kit can safely reach 3600 MHz
-Samsung 960 EVO 500GB NVMe SSD
- Rosewill Quark 650W 80+ Platinum PSU
- Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 case
- Windows 10 Pro
Here are some helpful links:

- Motherboard QVL and support page: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X470%20Master%20SLIac/index.asp#MemoryPR
I am having no problems with this computer other than getting the memory to run at the speed at which it belongs. I would be happy to get 3200 CL14 and even happier to get 3600MHz. I realize this kit is not on the QVL, and I realize the product was made with Intel CPU's in mind. But it is still Samsung B-Die (I think!), and I would really like to try to get the rated speeds before I give up and swap it with a G Skill kit or something. Here are things I have tried:
-stock 2133 and AUTO timings, successful
-3200 MHz XMP Profile with unchanged timings (14-16-16-36) and AUTO everything else, failed
-3200 MHz XMP Profile with DRAM voltage at 1.425V, failed
-3200 MHz XMP Profile with loosened timings 20-20-20-44, failed, even with 1.425V
-XMP Profile modified to 2133 through 2800 with unchanged timings 14-16-16-36, 1.35V, all successful
-XMP Profile at 2933 with unchanged timings 14-16-16-36, 1.35V, successful but inconsistent boot
-XMP Profile at anything above 2933 refuses to boot, failed
-XMP Profile at 2933 or 3200 manually configured all timings, even sub-timings, and voltages to what the XMP Profile SHOULD set it to, failed
-XMP Profile at 2800 with tightened timings 12-11-10-29, 1.35V, AUTO everything else, successful
-All of these on both the 1.00 BIOS and the 1.10 BIOS Beta. No difference at all...
I need some expert advice. Thanks in advance! Please let me know if I need to add more information.
