AMD has posted a picture on Twitter of a Ryzen 7 1700 microprocessor running with 16GB of G.Skill 3400MHz DDR4 memory. In past days we have come across many rumors about Ryzen supporting high-speed DDR4 memory. This screenshot finally seems to prove that the IMC of the new AMD chips can perfom. On another note it’s interesting to see that a Ryzen 7 1700 has been used, which apparently is a non-”X” model.


During the past week we’ve been asking ourselves one question over and over again, which was whether the new AMD Ryzen chips are going to be able to support memory clocks way beyond DDR4-3000. Although BIOSTAR has already shown a promising result, today there is a screenshot from an AMD Ryzen setup, that is based on an ASUS Crosshair VI Hero motherboard. In this case two 8GB sticks have been used and clocked at 3400MHz. The memory itself was from G.Skill and the timings were set at 18-17-17-37-1T.

The screenshot shows the this frequency has been reached using an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU. So far it looks like these frequencies have been achieved using manual timings. Seeing high memory clocks is actually a really good thing, since it means that the motherboard vendors are getting the hang of optimizing their BIOS towards the new CPU.

According to specs BIOSTAR is so far the first manufacturer offering motherboards that are supposedly compatible with DDR4-3600MHz memory. According to Gigabyte’s official site both the GA-AX370-Gaming 5 and the GA-AX370-Gaming K7 are compatible with DDR4-3200 while ASRock reaches DDR4-2666.
