i just built my pc and i am trying to get my ram to run at its advertised speed of 3200 mhz but i cant get it past 2666. i am using the gskill 2x8 ripjaws v 3200 on an asrock ab350 pro 4 with a ryzen 1400. currently it is running at 2666 with 2.55v. i tried going up as high as 2.8v but i can not get it past 2666. any advice?

2.55V? ??????????? RIP

for both not each

my motherboard uses a combined voltage

2.55 is the auto

that motherboard does not support RAM speeds over 2667MHz. see the spec page on newegg.

you spent $200 on some nice RAM, but less than $100 on a motherboard. don't cheap out on a good motherboard. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

thats interesting because they say on their website that it supports up to 3200 plus oc

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350 Pro4/

so did you try to manually adjust the clock speed in the UEFI? 

 

it says OC (overclock), so the board will not accept the speed automatically, you need to manually set it. and it's DDR (doubleDataRate) so if you measure it with software tools it might read as 1600MHz instead of 3200MHz

Say what? I have that same board and I've seen no such thing. Your Dram Voltage should be 1.35v, most likely.

 

Sounds like you're looking at the incorrect voltage. VPPM != DRAM Voltage. The only thing you should be changing is Dram Voltage. Go no higher than 1.40v. Leave everything else at Auto. Update your bios to version 3.20.

bah. nonsense. That board is plenty capable of overclocking ram. He may just need to update the bios. I've done 3200 on my 3000 rated Hynix kit.

Can you post the actual model number of the kit? Something like F4-3200C..something.

If you search for that model number at this IC Memory Collection Thread. You'll see that kit could contain one of two types of chips. It could be either Dual Rank with Samsung D-Die, or Single Rank with Hynix M-Die. There's two ways to know for sure. Dual Rank has chips on both sides of the DIMM. Single Rank has chips on one side. You can either remove the ram and try to visually peek under the heatsink, maybe you'll be able to see if it has chips on both sides or not. Alternatively, you can install the program Thaiphoon Burner. It has a very simple option to 'Read' the SPD information directly from each DIMM. The readout it provides will show if it's Single or Dual Rank. Hynix or Samsung.

 

I say all of this because it may matter. I have that identical kit, only 3000c15 instead of 3200c16. My kit contains Hynix M-Die and with a bios update, it worked perfectly with my AB350 Pro4. The Dual Rank D-Die kit, however, may never work beyond 2666. That's one of Ryzen's limitations. It hates Dual Rank memory. But there are things we can try, though. Let me know which you have.
