I need help. my system runs windows 10 and using 24GB (2x4GB + 2x8GB) but half of it goes to hardware reseve and it wont run in their rated speed. plus there is this weird problem of it not knowing the form factor of the ram installed. I already when to the BIOS and enable XMP and already tried to use the msconfig method for the hardware issus but it nothing changes :(

 

pc specs:

cpu - Ryzen 5 2600
ram - T-Force Delta RGB 2666mhz (two 4GB sticks and two 8GB sticks)

mobo - Gigabyte Aorus B450M

For the hardware reserved issue, have you tried booting with less ram to see what changes?

 

Also, use different software to verify ram speed, task manager doesn't always get it right.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I didn’t even know it was possible to run different ram sizes like that.  I can see all sorts of stuff going wonky from that alone.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Its defaulted to 2400Mhz, which I assume is the base JEDEC setting of the RAM. 

 

XMP probably doesn't work when you have different capacities of RAM

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600  Heatsink: ID-Cooling Frostflow X GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 Mini 6GB RAM: KLEVV Bolt 3600Mhz (2x8GB) Mobo: ASUS B550-F ROG Strix (Wifi)  Case: Fractal Design Meshify C PSU: Deepcool DQ-M-V2L
