Help needed with memory timing, frequency

[gantugsmk]

I mismatched my 2 DDR4 sticks and it's defaulting to 2133mhz. Their timings seem to be different, frequency different, etc. I had no other way because I couldn't find a matching ram stick, and here's the specs. When I use DOCP, it keeps crashing until the BIOS defaults to its safe mode. Please help! 

Here's the link - https://valid.x86.fr/u9duy5

The computer keeps recognizing the GSkill RAM as 2133, but it's 3000mhz. 

Here's the timing for the Micron RAM -  

and I populated the slot like shown in the manual. Thanks

What are the models of each of the sticks?

 

That said, the general process should be the same:

1. Set the memory voltage to 1.35V (or whatever the XMP voltage is)
2. Slowly walk up the memory frequency (try 2133, then 2400, 2666, etc.) until the system stops booting. 
3. Lower the memory speed until it starts passing memory stress tests.
4. Start lowering the memory timings one by one until the system stops booting, then raise it till it starts passing stress tests.

You'll need to become pretty familiar with the clear CMOS button since a lot of what you're doing is going to be messing with settings until the system stops booting.

Are you using these 2 sticks of ram together?

Slot 2 is MTA4ATF1G64AZ-3G2E1 (micron.com)

Slot 4 is G.Skill - F4-3000C15-8GVRB 8GB 288pin DIMM DDR4 - Memory Module (compuram.biz). One on the Slot 4 seems to be problematic for me.

yes?

Because 2133 is JEDEC while 3000 is XMP. 

 

The same steps advised above apply though.

It is possible to use sticks of different branded ram together. Sorry i misread your original post.

 

You will need to follow Ronathan's instructions to test. It will be a long process.

You sure?

Oem hynix rams are abundant and basically everywhere be it used or new

 

Send thaiphoon burner screenshot for both sticks to identify ics and theor revisions cause overclocking blind is just pain

 

Identifying the ics will help with trying to find a particular freq and timing that theyll match and be able to run

I was on a tight budget, if I had bit of extra cash, it would've been easier.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice. It seems that it's stable at 2833mhz. Happy new years!

They arent really that expensive though

8gb is like 11$ here in indo for a generic bare pcb oem stick

And im pretty sure you can go abit higher than that if you identified the ics
