Mobo Asrock B450 Pro-F + G.Skill Aegis 2x8 3000 mhz (Compatibility problems?) SOLVED

[CzejsanARG]

Hello Everybody!

I am glad to say that finally (after a year living in a foreigner contry without pc) I bought the parts to make my pc.

Everything is working fine and I have a week using the new computer, but I am still thinking that I didn´t buy 3000 mhz rams to use in 2100 mhz.
I had problems at activating the xmp profile and searching on the internet I found that my mobo (Asrock B450 Pro-F) doesn´t support 3000 mhz but it does 2933.
I just updated my bios to the last stable version and I want to try one more time put the rams at least to 2933 mhz but as I am totally newbie I don´t want to do anything wrong or bad for my computer.

In theory, the cfg to put the rams at 3000 mhz is:

16
18
18
38
56
1.35 V

For some reason, in the bios, if I want to put voltage higher than 1.349 the number turn red, so I guess the mobo doesnt admit to put 1.35 volts.

Should I use the same cfg at puting the rams at 2933 mhz but changing the voltage to 1.349?

I am sorry if my english is not good enough to explain my problem and what I want to do.

But I hope someone can help me at lest to put higher frequency without destroying my new pc.

Regards!!

3000mhz is 2933mhz  thats what your memory is rated for.

however, you could set them to 2999 i geuss.

 

Shouldn't need to change the voltages or anything if setting them to 2933. especially if they are in an xmp profile. it should load the alternate settings automatically (doesn't always work tho).

Enable xmp, change frequency to 2933 and dram voltage to 1.35. even if it's red, it should allow you to post. If it doesn't, try with 1.349.

Okey, I did it and now I can't turn on my pc help please haha.

 

I'm tried disconnecting the rams, switching between slots and I can't turn on the pc to at least leave in the previous configuration

does it let you go into bios? also, are you using the 2 and 4 ram slots? if you can't get to bios, take out the motherboard battery (small round one) for a minute and then put it back. it should reverse all changes to default.

I'm using the slots 1 and 3.

Finally I could turn in the pc.

I'm afraid of do it again and find that I can't turn on the pc again

You should use slots 2 and 4. Maybe try again then.

Love you no homo.

Was as easy as change the rams to the correct slots. I tought I needed the use the slots 1 and 3 because the mother came with those two slots open and the number 2 and 4 closed.

Thanks so much dude!
