RAM overclock not working

[Maxus_SpieltHD]

Hello, i noticed that in Taskmanager and in CPU-Z both tell me that my RAM is running at 2133/1066 Mhz, but i have my XMP Profile active and set to the max speed of the two Corsair Vengance 8 GB sticks, in theory the Should run at an optimal 3200MHz, does anybody know a solution to this problem

DDR is double data rate. Information is sent twice per clock cycle. 1066x2 is 2133. As for 2133 vs 3200 mhz, did you enable XMP in bios?

 

Missed where you said you already enabled XMP.

Does it report 3200 in the BIOS?

What brand and model CPU and motherboard?

 

What exact model of RAM? It's something like CMK16GX4M2B3200C16. And there's a version number written on the sticks, next to the voltage. What that number?

You need to include your system specs either in the post or add it into your profile signature.

Looking through your old posts / threads for clues, you are still running a Ryzen 2700X with a B450 motherboard, correct?

 

If so, the problem is the weak Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) found in Ryzen 1000-series and 2000-series CPUs.

They were vastly improved with Ryzen 3000-series and 5000-series.

It would be pretty difficult to run DDR4-3000+ (it's not impossible, but difficult, and not as easy as activating XMP).

 

I would recommend that you try something first.

• Active XMP, so the primary / major memory timings, and DRAM voltage is set for you
• Next manually increase the SOC Voltage up to 1.05V ~ 1.10V
• See if that works

 

If not.... you may need to try a lower DRAM frequency

• Active XMP, so the primary / major memory timings, and DRAM voltage is set for you
• Manually change the DRAM Frequency to DDR4-2933 or DDR4-3000
• See if that works
• If it does not work, manually increase the SOC Voltage up to 1.05V ~ 1.10V, and try again.

i did and i chose XMP profile two with the 3200 MHz option, i even did it manualy and it changed nothing

i got an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with and MSI B350 Gaming Plus i think and yeah the number you said matches with the one on the RAM sticks, i never touched the Voltage, i think it still sayes the Standard 1.32 Volts or so

i got my old MSI B350 Gaming Plus back, and i even tried underclocking it but windows still keept reporting i run at 2133 MHz

1,35v but that's not what I want to know. I'm looking for the version number.

4.32

IMPORTANT NOTE: I fixed the issue by just moving the two sticks to the other two RAM slots
