Ram Issues HELP!

[chris_304]

I have a Asus B450-f board and the ryzen 7 2700x processor and the ram is  G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB  288 pin SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600. I can not get it stable at 3200 it runs stable at 2400 to 2733. The bios will not except the 3200. So i would like to know how to get this to at least the ram specs. I overclocked processor from 3.7 to 4.0 but not any more than that. So my question is what is a good overclock for processor and how to get ram to at least run where its suppose to. Have a good day thanks for the help.

Because of the infinity fabric that amd uses, sometimes you're unable to hit the rates speed.

That said, are you using XMP? And turn off the overclock before you start ramping up your ram to see if that helps?

Hello,

 

Did you enable the XMP/DOCP profile in the bios for your ram or just tweak it yourself ?

[chris_304]

yes i enabled XMP/DOCP if i didnt it was running at like 2400. this is the first computer i have ever done over clocking on its a new thing for me. Any help would be great. Thanks for helping

Download AIDA64 http://download.aida64.com/aida64extreme620.exe - it's free for 30 days - you can see SPD info here and set timings and DRAM voltage manually in bios:

Ok i will try that thanks.

enable xmp, set frequency to 3000 and dram voltage to 1.4.

also, make sure you have the two sticks in slots 2 and 4

I have 4 sticks 32 gigs of ram would that cause a problem as well? Thanks for the advice yall are giving me great ideas thanks so much.

4 sticks 32gb each or 8 each? ryzen 2xxx doesn't really play well with 4 sticks of ram and your motherboard is quite cheap as well. 

try only two sticks in slots 2 and 4 and see if you can set the higher frequency.

yeah 32 gigs total 8 gb each do you think getting another board would be better i have been thinking on that for a while.

it's not just the board, it's the cpu's memory controller as well. ryzen 2000 series is guaranteed to run at 2933 and anything above is considered overclock and thus not guaranteed to work. try the suggestions I and others have made.

Ok so i put it back at 3.7 ghz and running stable ram at 2800 everything else just turns the pc off restarts 2 times and get a bios error saying ram configuration is not right but i was wondering if i can over clock processor to 4.2 and still run at 2800. thanks guys for for all your help
