3200 ram only runs @ 2133

[Tamamalebrun]

I have a ryzen 5 1600x paired with an x370 pro carbon from msi. I recently got corsair pro rgb ram. 32gb of 3200mhz. I try using A-XMP profile 1 (3200mhz) and profile 2 (2933 or 2966 I don't remember) and either way I just bluescreen after a few minutes of being in windows. "Memory Try it!" does the same thing.
It just runs at 2133. I haven't tried the speeds in between 2133 and 3200, but I think its BS that I pay what I did for the ram because I was told that ryzen needs faster ram (upgrading from 8bg of 2400) and it decides not to let me use it at its speed that its supposed to run at. Anyone have anything they can add to this to help me in any way?
Thanks

Try overclocking it without using XMP.

 

Also, Ryzen doesn't necessarily need faster memory, and it's likely that nobody outside of the high end power users will notice much of a difference in performance anyway.

 

My Ryzen 5 1600 does just fine with 2133Mhz memory.

Did you install the RAM into the slots the manual instructs to use?

I have 4 memory slots, I put all 4 sticks in

I'll try doing it manually EDIT: I'm sure I don't need 3200mhz, but I just want to get what I paid for, you know?

I get that, it's completely understandable.

 

Just thought I'd mention it anyway.

Its amazing how many people will fight to the death to say you are wrong...yet I 100% agree with you because Use Case lol.  It equates to like....maybe 2-5 FPS more.  Maybe (for gamers).

It's honestly super dependent on the game. Some games get quite a big boost in performance while others don't get any.

i dont know if anybody has said that it "needs" faster memory.  just that it benefits from it more than non-ryzen systems, which is accurate.

I understand... I just literally mean people will start a fight over this - when reality is a lot less improved than synthetic use cases.  I could see where its Game Dependent but when I did my personal tests with my bro (we swapped rams in each others PCs he =3000mhz me =2133mhz) - I still saw...only 2-5 fps max.  AAA titles current as of early last year anyhow.  Not going to argue it, it benefits, and if I could go back and do this again when DDR4 prices were insane (but at todays prices)...I would have for sure bought the higher frequency...oh well!  At the time a lone stick of 8gb DDR4 2133mhz was $100.  3000mhz...to much for muh budget!

I built my pc before the price of ram was too out of control. I got 3000mhz 16gb for 130. To bad I built a 1700 build around release and picked the msi tomahawk which had horrible memory support. Could only manage 2400mhz. That being said I was previously on a fx 8350 so it was night and day regardless. Later I was able to hit 2666 after some bios updates.

Nice!  We sound similar from upgrades sans I let my wife go from a AMD 1090T platform to the Ryzen and I stayed on the FX hehe.  Its NIGHT and DAY for sure!!!  

 

I have yet to even try to OC ram beyond using DOHCP ever, I need to learn how to do it to see how well it does.  I got another stick for $50 of the same RAM on sale a year later lol.  Oh well, at least it matches and is dual rank lol

I'm on my phone, but I'm still the OP. I watched a video saying support for higher speeds with more ram (my 4 8gb sticks) only supports up to 2133. If I wasn't so lazy I'd get my money back and buy cheaper ram, but eh, I'm kinda over it. Thank you all for your feedback. I recently put my system in new case with a new cooler and the new ram and it looks pretty lol. Next upgrade is a 2060 SO I CAN CRUSH SOME 1080P 144HZ LOL

i built mine during the insane prices as well.  but i got really lucky on 16GB 3200MHz for only $100 on craigslist, brand new.

You could return it and buy lower clocked ram?

Not surprising, IIRC Ryzen doesn't like OCing more than 2 sticks of RAM. I know that was a thing for 1st gen, I assume Ryzen 2000 series chips aren't as bad but probs don't like it. I ran 2x8GB when I used my 2700X though so I haven't tested for sure. But I was able to get my 3000MHz CL16 kit to 3200MHz using the XMP profile then manually setting just the frequency higher, so it is kind of weird yours won't even hit 2933 (that's what I used on my R5 1600 because it didn't like 3000MHz).

jesus, that and gpu prices is why i waited over a year to build my first computer, got my 2x8g 3000 kit for $125, Trident z RGB
