PLEASE HELP WITH RYZEN RAM ISSUE!!!!!!

[TaintedKingz]

Im having one hell of a time getting my RAM to run stable enough to do any form of RAM frequency changes in my newly built pc (about 5 weeks old). Seriously needing some expertise and guidance for this issue. Can anyone help me out?

 

BIOS is updated to version 3003 which is the newest version available from ASUS, all AMD drivers have been updated to the most current version as well, all windows updates are current too. 

 

RAM Memory frequency is stuck at DDR4-1833mhz in BIOS, I cant get the system to boot with any other speed than that. Tried enabling D.O.C.P. memory profile 1 which set my memory timings at CL16-18-18-18-38 @1.35V (those are the recommended timings and voltages provided on the RAM sticks as well). I don't know what else could be causing the system instability and would greatly appreciate any feedback on my build or help with the situation at hand. Thank you in advance!

 

System specs are as follows - 

 

Ryzen 7 2700X with Wraith Spire LED Air Cooler (the stock one)

Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard

Thermaltake 700W 80+ White Non-modular Power Supply

GSkill Ripjaws V 4x8GB RAM kit (32GB, 3200mhz)

XFX Radeon RX580 8GB Gddr5 VRAM Graphics Card

Sabrent 512GB nvme rocket SSD Boot drive

Seagate Firecuda 2TB Solid State Hybrid Drive (2.5" Drive)

Thermaltake V200 RGB Case

 

I AM NOT OVERCLOCKED AT ALL. THERMALS ARE STABLE TOO.

Take the CPU out, clear CMOS the battery way, put the CPU back in and try again. It should at least run 2133MHz

also try just running 2 sticks for now, maybe the board isn't that good for mem oc.

also you can try the DRAM calculator for Ryzen to get a manual OC.

you have an incompatibility issue, get different rams. This is from NewEgg on product page:

This memory kit can work with AMD platforms, however not all can fully support 32GB @ DDR4-3200 so it will depend on motherboard and CPU capability. Worst case scenario the memory kit can be set to run at a lower value and that should work properly.

Check the QVL list (compatibility list) of your motherboard for this type of RAM. If the particular manufacturer and model is not mentioned, it might just not play nicely with your board. That being said, standard clock is 2133 mhz on DDR4 memory. 1833 is very strange.

 

Test the ram with Memtest 86 to check for errors.

 

Is the system stable at the default RAM settings? If it is not, I suspect there is something wrong with the RAM, or perhaps something wrong with other parts of the PC.

Have fixed the problem entirely! Issue was the B450-F Gaming Motherboard says it is compatible with my 3200mhz speed RAM kit on the QVL but Ryzen 7 can only handle running at a max frequency of 2666mhz without any instability on that specific board combination. No fault to the manufacturers but the board was inaccurately advertised to be plug and play with that frequency on the QVL. Have now installed the ASUS Prime X470-PRO Motherboard into my system and RAM runs perfectly on D.O.C.P. Memory profile 1 set at specified RAM timings and voltages on the RAM kit. 

 

Short and sweet statement is dont just trust the QVL and run with the kit it says, do extra research for your specific combination of processor RAM and mobo. Especially with Zen+ Ryzen chips (2nd Generation Ryzen chips have max memory frequency compatibility issues, even with the mobo BIOS up to the current flash.)

 

Thanks again guys!
