Ram Problems

[William23r]

So I have a 16gb kit of Corsair vengeance RGB pro at 3200 MHz.

ive enabled XMP and saved it in the bios then I check CPU-Z the Speed is shown as 1600 which is all good because when you double its at 3200 like it should be. But then when I check it a couple days later after rebooting a couple times the memory speeds go back to default 2133 and I go into the bios XMP is still enabled, so I turn it off and then turn it back on, then it’s back to 3200.

Should this be happening ?

if not does anyone know how I can fix it ?

CMOS battery probably on the fritz? Try changing it and see what happens. It's probably run out of juice so it's not saving your BIOS settings.

it's probably not stable and sometimes it has trouble booting so it resets. what cpu and motherboard do you have?

How long do the battery’s usually last ?

Around 3 years I think.

so when you go into bios and enable xmp, manually change dram voltage to 1.35 and also change soc voltage to 1.05. this should allow it to run a bit more stable. ryzen 2000 series have some problem with tthe memory controllers and sometimes struggle to run 3200 without some voltage increase.
