After the release of Ryzen processors in March, AMD continues to polish the new desktop platforms. It has something to work on, for example, improving the stability of memory with overclocking. The company honestly admits that Ryzen's status as a processor for overclocking could shut its eyes to the unstable operation of platforms in overstated modes. And yet, the company decided to work with a community of overclockers to maximize the work of new products at abnormal frequencies. So, the next update of the AGESA BIOS package, which promises to improve overclocking on AMD Ryzen platforms, will appear in late May.
At the moment, AMD representatives recommend to use DDR4 memory modules on Samsung B-die crystals to reach frequencies of 3000 MHz and higher. At the same time, memory sets on SK Hynix FMR crystals (at a frequency of 3200 MHz) and other manufacturers successfully demonstrated themselves in overclocking in AMD labs. Also, stability in operation at a frequency of 3200 MHz on memory with Samsung E-die and C-die crystals was achieved. All this will be reflected in the newer versions of the BIOS.
Also in the company AMD work closely with manufacturers of motherboards. It is noted that of the mass of the tested motherboards on the B350 chipset, only a few of them could work stably with memory at a frequency of 3200 MHz. Influence on it renders, quantity of layers of metallization and another. To increase the working memory frequencies, changes in the design of the boards are required. Another company AMD is working with the JEDEC committee, which is responsible for memory standards. Some things today have to be remade anew in order to better correspond to the moment. The main thing for us is that the work on improving the platform does not stop.
