dude, youre getting really upset over something really small and fixable...../snip.......... building you own does not seem to be for you.
Start to finish maybe 4-5 over my life. I'm 36 years old. 1 water cooled. I am going to give the Platform a chance. The new memory is on the fedex truck.
After my problems with my Ryzen build I have no desire to ever own any amd product again. So i was wondering how much if any do you think it will push Xeon prices down? 10% maybe 15% in a year or none at all?
None.

Its not just the memory problems and it could be i just got bad sticks even tho the memory is on the QVL and the Bio's is running the latest. But the fact that I am getting a green screen for 1 second enough that its really annoying and the fact that I either got bad ram or a bad motherboard at the same time just really pisses me off. New Egg did over night new QVL supported memory with me paying 50% of the overnight fee. I want to see how it goes. If this does not work I will just keep working on my macbook pro and I have been eye balling a Pre built Lenovo about $3,900 I can pick up in a few months and be done. I need my shit to just work.
New memory should be here in a few hours.
no no you just keep trying to use your system with massive memory errors and blame the platform. Bad memory happens not exclusive to AMD or Intel, heck even I had sticks go bad on me, but I dont keep trying to use the system when I know the memory is borked.
Exactly why I bought an R5 1600 and B350 tomahawk for the entry level. Early adopters=crying a lot of the time. Weak memory subsystem but for the money, meh, OK.Simply put, RAM compatibility on all the platforms right now is hit and miss, but X370 is a fucking joke and makes everything else look like the definition of flawless. RAM shouldn't be this hit and miss on any platform. When you've got to go through four or more memory kits to find something that can do more than about 2400MHz on AM4, it gets old real fast. If I had to pay for this RAM or it wasn't provided to me for testing purposes I'd be turned off to the platform too.
I'm hoping X399 is better. X370 was too much like Z270 for my tastes anyway.

I am sure you have worked on enough systems to run into bad ram and yeah X370 early on was very picky with ram. But I am sure you wouldn't keep trying to install windows and run programs and get pissed off at AMD over bad ram or ram incompatibility, you would just stop using it and wait for the new ram or just try 1 stick and see if that works. I had 2 16GB sticks at launch did not run at anything other then 2400 even tho they are rated for 3200. Now after all the bios updates on the Asus Crosshair it now runs at 3200 speeds, but yeah it took awhile but I didnt try to force the issue. But I am sure on launch day it was nightmare for you trying to find sticks that would run at 3200 speeds, but you were trying to do a review the rest of us just needed to be patient and wait for the updates. No doubt AMD hurried it out the door and likely would have been better to wait a month, it is what it is. If you read his problem thread you would see just how much of it was caused by himself, but I agree the memory support should have been better.

X399 benefits from being on the newer AGESA at launch if nothing else. Things have gotten better but I agree its been a rough start and they owe us a lot more.
Gigabyte is working on new beta BIOS again for AM4 on the current AGESA (somebody got a link to one for a B350 board) and they also let slip a new AGESA is close to release for their next round of updates
