Ram Speed limits

[Luke Metroka]

Does anyone know if ram that is 6000mhz works with an omen 40l motherborad? Whenever I set my clocks peed to anything above 5200 I get the blue screen of death, all my ram is matching and 6000

Which one?

There's more than one possible configuration which ends up in different motherboards.

What CPU? This will also play into what you can get your ram to run at..

This is probably a really stupid question, but my mother bored only allows up to 5200mhz ram speed but my ram is capable of 6000 is it safe on the ram to run at 5200 even though its lower?

Yes

If you look at your CPU, it likely also (officially) only supports lower speeds. XMP/DOCP/EXPO are all considered overclocking.

TLDR; Yes your 6000MHZ ram can run at 5200MHZ just fine

RAM speed can always run lower and in some cases the motherboard won't boot correctly if you go over the max supported ram speed.

frequency doesnt play a part in degradation only voltage does and you wont be getting anywhere near even mildly unsafe volts especially not with a crappy oem board that probably has a locked down bios nor any decent vcore with whatever cooler that thing uses

 

Spoiler

if the rated frequencies actually mattered then i wouldnt be able to just casually run over 3x the cpus max ram freq (1066) and the rams at well over 2x their rated speed (1333) =p

 

alright that is quite an exaggeration considering old stuff is very conservative ratings wise and bloomfield imcs are on steroids considering ddr3 had only been released a year prior (2007) and the only thing thats equivalent nowadays would be zen4 apus where the best ones can do just over double their rated freq (current record at 10800 ddr5, apus rated at 5200), but point still stands that rated frequencies are garbage especially manufacturer rated frequencies, just look at what other ppl are achieving and use that as your reference, in this case i am the record holder for bloomfield as the highest on hwbot is only at 3168 under ln2 so maybe ill be a reference for future bloomfield records since this cpus kinda shit and a golden chip would probably be able to do 3600+ not to mention its only on air

 

 

enabled xmp? if xmp is enabled and its bsoding return the damn kit and get another one cause its probably faulty considering the rather slow 6000 bin (afaik >6400 xmps start to get quite inconsistent on wether or not theyll work out of the box or need tuning)

 

if you still get bsods after ram swap the board is probably trash and youll just have to accept being stuck at 5200

 

zen4 cpus are capable of 6200-6400 1:1 (6000 for set and forget xmp) with ~8000 for 2:1, 13th and 14th gen are capable of 7600-8800 depending on imc (6400 for set and forget xmp, maybe 7200 with some luck and a good imc + board), and zen4 apus are capable of 9000-10000 ddr5 (throw xmp out the window cause itll be too slow for the igpu =p)

 

 

btw what rams are you running? high cl xmp like 6000c40 are probably garbage samsungs or some other crap ic that wont do >7000, low cl xmp like 6000c32/30 are either hynix m/a die with m die capable of ~7600 and a die capable of 10000+, 6400c32 and up are guaranteed hynix a die except that one corsair 6600 bin with cut down 24gbit micron

 

jedec bins like 4800c40/5600c46 are again random ics but if you are buying directly from an ic manufacturer like hynix or atleast through their consumer division like klevv youll be guaranteed ics from that particular manufacturer and obviously hynixes are preffered, hynix/klevv 4800c40 are m die and 5600c46 are a die, theres also exceptions like teamgroup 5600c46 which are apparently guaranteed hynix a die according to buildzoid in his ddr5 buying guide

 

do keep in mind that my info on ddr5 is quite limited simply due to not reasearching it that much so i only have a general idea, youd probably wanna ask @RONOTHAN## for more detailed info

They're using an HP prebuilt, none of this applies. At most, they might have an option for XMP, but even that isn't likely.

but they mentioned being able to set >5200 ram freq

 

could it be that the bios for whatever reason has ram frequency adjustment but no xmp? thatd be so incredibly stupid especially if timings cant be manually adjusted
