3200 Mhz Memory Setting

[hayate adil]

Hey Folks!

 

I can't seem to get my memory to run @ 3.2 GHz speed.

First I tried tweaking it manually, when the machine stopped booting. Cleared CMOS -> Back to Bios -> used DOCP - Profile -

Kept Crashing again. Now doing a clean Win10 install on my M.2. Memory running at 2133Mhz.

How can I safely get it to run at it's rated speed in the future?

 

thanks !

Don't use DOCP mode. You want to go into bios, then enter advanced mode and then select XMP 1. With newer Agesa (bios) updates, simple mode seems to not work correctly for some reason. I had this issue on B550 recently as well.

isn'T XMP for Intel Chips?;

I don't think I could find an XMP Profile in the Memory settings tab.

I will update my BIOS now first.

Both Intel and AMD use it nowadays.

[hayate adil]

okay I will try that first.

XMP1 crashed on mine while XMP2 workfed fine on my ASUS board...

Since the Crash Cycles I can't boot my old SSD anymore... Did a clean install on the M.2 now, but does anybody know why the RAM-crashing makes a DD unbootable?

isnt DOCP just XMP? just that XMP is trademarked by intel

try enabling DOCP but tune frequency down to 3000, see if that helps

 

might've gotten bad CPU/RAM

I thought "Bad" meant it doesn't OC as well or not at all. I didn't realize I could buy 3200MHz rated ram which only runs @2133?

bad as in defective

 

the CPU should support 3200(officially, anything higher than 3200 is OC and not guaranteed), the motherboard should support 3200, the ram should support 3200

so something is defective and should be returned

 

3200 on your setup is not an OC, it's within official spec of each component

Are defective components a common occurance?

Will try to get the system running and set it at lower speeds now. Thanks

Do I contact the retailer or the manufacturer?

We need to have some more info about the EXACT RAM type and quantity

not too common, quite rare actually

but out of the three, RAM are typically the ones to cause issue

if it's new and within return window, retailer is your go to

 

try reseating the RAM, see if that helps

unplug and plug it back in

I switched them from the A1+B1 slots to the A2+B2 Slots, (Now in slots furthest away from CPU+ 2 from the left)

Do you think I should rlly update the BIOS? I haven't done that before.

you could but it's a risk

 

i've updated my bios many times, and one time i bricked my board lol

Then I'd rather not do it...

Honestly I want to believe, that the hardware is fine and I just did smth small wrong, but what could it be?

This is the exact description

It says: CL-16-18-18-38 1.35V

F4-3200C16D-32GVK is the official designation. AFAIK the RAM is listed on the QVL for the board found here: 

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_X570-E_GAMING/AMD_Matisse_for_ROG_STRIX_X570-E_GAMING_DRAM_QVL_20190912.pdf

BUT it seems not to be listed as AM4 dual channel supported. Does that mean I got the wrong RAM? Which should I get then?

[Vins69]

Enter in BIOS and ensure you have 1.35V forced ofor memory voltage, not just the XMP enabled

I can only select DOCP, not even different profiles. Should I enable DOCP and volt @ 1.35?
