question Question regarding my ram speeds

[SuperBailz]

Hey so I just installed some 3200 Corsair Vengeance LPX ram. looking at task manager and CPU Z its saying its running at 1067. Same thing for CPU-Z but when I go to verify the results on the CPU Z website its saying thats the uncore speed, and my actual speed is 3200. What is the difference between uncore speed and the "normal" speed? Ty

[SuperBailz]

Also HAS improved my performance drastically. Thanks to @5x5 for suggesting this. BL3 Speeds went from 60-70 max settings to 70-90fps

This is what im talking about btw

You have to enable the XMP or DOCP in bios and select 3200mhz otherwise it will run at stock 2133mhz.

So Ive been trying to get it to work but I cant get it to boot with 3200. XMP enabled - tried auto settings at 3200 and boot looped over and over. Would go loop 4 times the go to bios, id save and exit and it would do the same thing. If I enter it manually with 16-16-18-18-36 timings it will default back to 2133?

Have you updated the bios since you bought the motherboard?

There are some fairly new updates for it.

You will have to start with F40 then do F41 then F42a. If the firmware is on a much older version it may not have hotfixes that help with ram speed compatibility.

Yet another problem... Been trying to flash the bios to F31. When I enter Q Flash it just freezes. Have to restart to get back to bios or windows.

You don't have to update one at a time except for the last 3. You can go from F6 straight to F40 without updating in between. So install F40, then F41, then F42a. The only two that have to be done in order are F41 and F42a.

Just flash to F40 you don't have to do the ones in between F6 and F40 you can just go straight to F40. If it freezes or pauses just let it go sometimes it can take a few minutes to update.

Still the same issue. Still freezes. Waited for 10 minutes and no change. The clock will update but thats it, cant use my mouse or keyboard. (I really hope its not me being impatient)

Hmm. How are you doing the update? Downloading the update file to a USB then opening q-flash in bios and selecting the file in there?

Yea, except it freezes as SOON as I open Q-Flash. Like on the screen with the option to update or save your bios

Try resetting your bios settings to default and see if it opens then, if it still doesn't try a CMOS reset.

Ok, how would I reset the bios to default? I already tried CMOS resets.

For gigabyte ill have to look. There should be an option to reset bios to defaults in the same tab where you choose to exit saving changes or discard changes and exit usually the last tab called Save and Exit.

Well, I got the Q Flash to work but now it says the Bios image is false.

Try doing F31 before doing F40 and see if that works. Looks like it needs F31 before you can do F40, usually it says it in red but it's just mixed in with the patch logs so I didn't see it.
