So I bought the new Ryzen:
Ryzen 2700X
ASUS Prime X470 Pro
Gskill F43200C15D-16GVK (Samsung B die)
I spent two whole afternoons trying to get the memory above 2933. I could run tight 14-14-14 timings at 2933, but would fail to post at anything above that. Cranking up voltage did nothing, among all the other things I tested.
I got sick of it, and purchased an open box ASUS Crosshair VI X370 at Microcenter. After updating the BIOS to the newest that supports the 2700X, it booted fine. Loaded the 3200mhz CAS14 profile, boots fine. Zero work at all. Sisoft memory bandwidth was measured at 33GB/s on the X470 at 2933Mhz. On the Crosshair VI, 40GB/s at 3200Mhz.
In short, avoid the ASUS Prime X470 pro. Older mature X370 boards work much better
