Thanks for the reply.
You don't need to repeat, since I have read the first post.
The point was this specific ram was listed in Ryzen series QVL and on the list it specifically said it supports 3200Mhz. No mention of this IMC silicon lottery that you MIGHT not get 3200Mhz.
How do you proof it was the IMC's/RAM/other component's fault, not the motherboard's fault which advertised in their QVL that this memory will work in 3200Mhz with Ryzen series CPU?
This basically means the QVL MSI has is worthless. It should not have been advertised as supported in the first place, since it is still a gamble.
To me that is false advertising. That actually lead me to buy this board with this memory since other B350 boards does not have this memory listed in the QVL for 3200Mhz (Some put 2933, for example).
No. The board does support it.
And again, don't know how many times it needs to get repeated.....WHY WOULD YOU BLAME MSI FOR SOMETHING THAT AMD DOESN'T GUARANTEE THEMSELVES?
I don't know why everyone has this huge issue understanding that the only thing the motherboard does is pass the lines from the memory to the CPU. It's not like there is a northbridge that controls the memory anymore on the motherboard. In fact, outside of carrying the data from the memory to the CPU, the only other thing the motherboard does is set the timing.....but wait, even that comes from the memory themselves and AMD (since AMD controls how the IMC is setup.....). So again, where does MSI have any control over anything here?
It sucks you can't get 3200 MHz. It sucks that the QVL lists it at 3200 MHz. Maybe they did hit it when they did the QVL, nearly 8 months ago now. Back when I'm sure AMD was sending all the OEM's cherry picked CPU's that had the best overclocking capabilities.
But the reality is, if AMD guaranteed 3200 MHz, it'd be a different story. As it stands, they only guarantee up to 2667 in a specific situation, and less in all others. Does that mean the CPU can't do it? No, you might get lucky and get one that can do 4133 MHz. Does this mean the board doesn't support it? No, it clearly does as users are able to get 3200 MHz and much higher. See most of the users with Samsung B-die getting 3200 MHz or higher.
So lastly, again, I go back to my first question.....
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR CPU WILL DO 3200 MHz ON THE IMC?
