Aorus Elite x570 can't oc Ram

[TooUnskilled]

First I thought it was the voltages, but I can't even get from 2133 to 2400 on rams that are rated at 3200. Either with auto voltage, or manually setting dram to 1.350+ and soc to 1.2+

 

Obviously, something is wrong. Have I missed something? A new setting?

For reference, exact same CPU and ram combo ran 3200 with no xmp on an x370 gaming k5.

 

Any help appreciated

I've tried xmp too by the way.

Buggy BIOS probably... Should work from just setting XMP profile and then RAM frequency.

It's the stock bios and flashing the only other option bricked my board yesterday, so I suppose I'll just have to wait for now.

How could it fail this hard though, all these boards have been reviewed to death for extreme overclocking, and I can't even run stock lol?

 

Oh well >.>

Hate to bump threads but I've got this issue with the same board with BIOS F5(a)? DId you manage to get this fixed?

Today while troubleshooting a friends computer, we came across an issue with the motherboard not being able to apply XMP settings to the memory. We would turn XMP profile on and set to Profile 1 and set the frequency to 32.00. Boot times would take 30-45 seconds just to get into BIOS after experiencing multiple beeps and two power cycles. Once into Windows, the DRAM would be locked at 2133. I tried multiple BIOS settings with no avail to obtain a DRAM speed of 3200. After trying with both revisions F4 and F10 with manually adjusting voltages and memory timings we still could not achieve a 3200 speed in BIOS or in Windows 10. 
 

After several hours of tweaking, I finally came to a conclusion that I wanted to share.
 

The fix was going into AMD Overclocking Settings and manually changing the DRAM from AUTO to 1600. For some reason AUTO was locking the frequency at 2133 in BIOS and Windows 10. After changing the DRAM frequency to 1600 under the AMD Overclocking Settings, Windows 10 and BIOS immediately recognized the RAM Frequency as 3200.

What we also discovered, was that XMP on Profile 1 and set to 32.00 with AMD Overclock Setting DRAM Auto, was that the BIOS would take between 30-45 seconds to post. When the DRAM was manually set to 1600, the BIOS would post in roughly 3 seconds from power cycle, down from 30-45 seconds.

My issue was cause by me using a 1st gen Ryzen CPU on a x570 mb. Hadn't realized they weren't officially supported.

It works fine with my 3700x. thanks for sharing tho!

Ah yeah that would definitely do it. When I started googling the issue, it seems like there are a ton of people having the issue of XMP not doing anything to the RAM. The particular RAM p/n that my buddy got isn’t on the QVL, so maybe that was the issue in our case, but due to the amount of issues I’ve seen across multiple places I’m curious if other people are having the same issue we did

Thank you so much for this! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my ram was not hitting its correct frequency on my brand new build. Setting the DRAM to 1600 fixed the XMP profile for me as well and finally allowed my ram to reach its correct speed.

SOC 1.2 isn't good idea on Ryzen 3000, lower that regardless of anything else. 1.175 max, ideally 1.15 or lower

Hi Folks, @RVAxHavoc, thank you for this, but, I have a couple of questions.

 

Let me start by saying, this is what I have

MOBO: Aorus X570 Master

CPU: R7 3800x

RAM: F4-3600C16D-16GTRG (16-16-16-36)

 

I'm new when it comes to any kind of overclocking and I refrain from this, however, I need/want to get my RAM running at 3600MHz. I too, like everyone else, have had trouble with the XMP profile. I have flashed F10 BIOS. I came across this post of yours and after some digging, figured out that in the BIOS under SETTINGS> AMD Overclocking>  DDR and Infinity Fabric Frequency/Timings> DDR Frequency and Timings> DRAM Timing Configuration>

 

Overlock = Enabled

Memory Clock Speed = AUTO <-- I changed this per your direction to 1600MHz

 

I was able to get the Memory Frequency to 3212.41MHz.

 

With XMP Profile Enabled.

 

However, it is still not at 3600MHz, I increased it from 1600MHz to 1633MHz, which sent the Memory Clock to 3278MHz, but that's where it stops, i can't go beyond this... the computer would reset twice and take about 30 secs to reboot. I would then go in to the BIOS and the Memory Frequency is back at 2133MHz.

What am I doing wrong?

Well, you would need to set it to 1800. If that option is not showing up, that would be weird.

For context, on my x570 Gigabyte Aorus Elite I remember the setting going up to 2000+ (which would translate to 4000+ MHz of the speed we conventionally refer to)

 

Are you sure you didn't just miss it? Maybe you can scroll further down but didn't realize?
