ram speed

[mumojala55]

Hello,

 

I just changed my gigabyte b450 aorus m to an asus tuf gaming b550m-plus due to some audio issues.

On the last mobo i could XMP the ram to 3200mhz and it would work , now it's on 2133(auto), when i select it to 3200mhz and save the bios change , my pc turns off 3 times , then it says it failed and need to set it back to auto speed.

Does it have anything to do with the voltages ? I have them on Auto ( 1.2 i think)

Did you JUST change the DRAM frequency?

You need to enable XMP on the ASUS B550 motherboard too.

ASUS calls is DOCP, instead of XMP.

Is it that or is it showing the single channel speed or whatever it is. (I'm fairly certain Single channel is not the right term)

I enabled the DOCP profile , but it still does the same thing.

I'm not sure what you mean...

DOCP will show the effective memory speed.

 

There is no single-channel, dual-channel, or quad-channel speed.

E.g. DDR4-3200; ACTUAL frequency is 1600 MHz, but EFFECTIVE frequency is 3200 MHz, since DDR RAM sends 2x data signals per one complete clock cycle.

What CPU are you using?

 

What version BIOS is flashed onto the B550 motherboard currently?

 

XMP should automatically adjust the DRAM voltage -- in most cases with DDR4-3000+ memory will use 1.35V with XMP enabled.

 

Try seeing if bumping up the CPU SOC Voltage to 1.10V will help stabilize the RAM.

Auto is usually 0.95V ~ 1.05V or something.

Actual speed is the term I was thinking of, thank you.

using a ryzen 5 3600 , i followed this tutorial to enable DOCP and i got same stuff except I got D.O.C.P instead of D.O.C.P standard:

bios version is :

0603 x64

That video is more or less correct.

Some ASUS boards will have just 'DOCP' or 'DOCP Standard.'

 

I would suggest that you update the BIOS to one of the newer ones -- latest preferred.

BIOS version 0603 is 4 versions out of date...and the 2 latest versions (1004, 0805) mentions improved DRAM stability, and RAM compatibility.

Ok , so I updated the bios to last version 1004 , problem still persists , the 3 shut downs followed by the bios error (The system has posted in safe mode. This may be due to the previous post attempt failing ...)and me needing to go back to switch to auto , tried enabling the DOCP , does the same thing , the settings DOCP does are :

 

Ai Overclock Tuner Auto -> D.O.C.P

memory frequency Auto -> 3200

DRAM CAS# Latency Auto ->16

trcdrd Auto ->18

trcdwr Auto ->18

DRAM RAS# PRE Time Auto ->18

DRAM RAS# ACT Time Auto ->36

DRAM Voltage Auto ->1.35000

 

the setting i had on the D.O.C.P was

 D.O.C.P DDR4-3200 16-18-18-36-1.35V

Did you seat the memory in slot 2 and 4 away from the CPU?

Also try pulling the memory swapp the dimms around.

Another thing you can try is reseating the CPU.

Its amazing how the little things can cause issues.

[mumojala55]

The ram is put on slot 1 and 3 , should it be on 2 and 4 ?

I don't see how anything else would have to do with it going 3200mhz.Everything is working fine , no errors showing up in device manager also.

The ram is Patriot Viper 4 Series 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel.

Your board is supposed to be populated in 2 and 4 for 2 dimm config. Might not help but won't hurt this is due to the traces on the board.

 

reseating CPU since it has memory controller built in could be a contact issue.

Swapping dimms around sounds weird but i have seen it quite a few times that it has fixed issues.

Solved the problem by putting the sticks on slots 2 and 4 , thanks for the help !

No problem, have a good night!
