Hello everyone,
I ran into a problem. I noticed in the CPU-Z that my RAM runs slower (2133mhz) than it should (3200mhz 2x8GB kit). I enabled XMP and a DRAM profile in the BIOS but it literally did nothing. In BIOS the speed remained at 2133mhz and the same in CPU-Z. I tried running XMP & disabling DRAM profile and the other way around with no luck. Then I tried running XMP and setting the speed to 3200mhz manually but that just results in the system crashing on start-up. 3000mhz works fine.
Is there any limitation on RAM speed due to using B450/R7 2700X I'm not aware of? I know the RAM is not on the QVL list (difference of 1 letter), but the BIOS seems to get all the data just fine. Could that alone be it?
My setup is:
ASRock Steel Legend B450M
AMD R7 2700X
Palit GeForce 1660 Ti
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3200mhz RAM (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
Corsair PSU 750W
Windows 10
Thank you very much!
