3200mhz RAM running at 2133mhz

[LucaW]

I'm running an Asus B450MA Prime Motherboard and I'm trying to activate the XMP profile but it just will not work. I have followed many tutorials very closely and it goes well until it comes down to rebooting. When I go to reboot, the PC just doesn't output any display and I have to reset the BIOS which completely gets rid of all of my settings. If someone could help me with this, that would be very much appreciated. 

 

Thank you.

What memory are you using? Have you updated your BIOS? Have you tried giving it more voltage? Are you messing with timings?

I'm using 16gb 3200mhz DDR4 Corsair Vengeance (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B0143UM4TC) 

 

I haven't updated the BIOS

 

I have tried giving it 1.35 Volts

 

I'm have not messed with timings.

Try manually setting the timings. X.M.P. Is wonky sometimes.

4 steps

 

1. make sure you have your ram plugged in the right slot, you can check the motherboard manual, so my board is only the 2th and 4th are ddr4 avaliable.

 

2. upgrade bios to the latest

 

3. trim your voltage a bit down to 1.2V-1.3V might help, i mean, we need to try, because technically it's 1.2-1.4V, but we just don't know.

 

4. bring up your rma serial number to the webcat of ASUS to see if they can help https://icr-am.asus.com/webchat/icr.html?rootTreeId=AM.US.EN-US&treeId=AM.US.EN-US&tenantId=EN-US&_ga=2.34043041.1634474171.1565965283-1707023861.1565965283

Update bios and try manual inputs. Also make sure you are using the correct slots for dual channel operation.

I have checked and they're definitely in the correct slots. I will update the BIOS and then give it a try. Thank you.

Also you can adjust the timings to a ridiculous number like 18-22-22-22-48 and see if it pass, 1.35 volts usually do the trick. If you never updated the bios then you should, first B450 bios was messed up and very unstable with memory overclocking, might not be the case with yours but Gigabyte board it was all messed up before F4

Edit: Try Bios Version 1201
