At Ryzen's launch mobo vendors weren't investing a lot into the platform because they were largely burned by previous AMD generations that failed to compete with Intel.
It wasn't until Ryzen 2000 / 3000 in particular that board vendors took the AMD stack seriously again.
I remember at release getting ram working on Zen 1 was a nightmare. Nowadays you can throw almost any stick to 3733mhz on Zen 2 no problem.
- sq_ 6y agoYeah, early RAM support on Zen 1 sucked. It was definitely fair for vendors not to want to plow huge amounts of money in at that point, as the Bulldozer-era CPUs sucked in a profound manner. Definitely glad for those first few AGESA updates that got things like XMP fully working on my early X370 board.
