XMP just does not work!

[agent z]

Heeey guys,

 

I would love it if someone can help me with this because it is driving me crazy.

 

I am running 3 sticks of Corsair LPX 8Gb 3200Mhz for a total of 24GB. However, for some reason, Xmp does not work.

When saving and exiting from the bios, it does the memory training reboot thingy for three times before it boots normally (at 2133mhz).

I suspect (but I am not a pro) that this is causes by my CPU, R5 2600x, which is notorious for not having the best memory controllers.

I learned that I can up the Soc, mem controler, and some other voltages in the bios, but idk by how much + these acronyms (see pic 3) confused the hell out of me.

Please help.

I have 3 sets of Corsair DDR2.. and none of them will boot with each other.

 

Maybe clear your CMOS and try again, but if it doesn't work, its not going to run with XMP.

have tried that multiple times, but to no avail. 

And these are DDR4, and they work perfectly fine together, just not with the XMP.

To Add, I cant even manage to run 1 stick with XMP!

With the R5 2600 the most you can probably do is 3000 or 2933 with 2 sticks and 2666 to 2933 with more.

Try loading XMP (DOCP) and decreasing the frequency manually. 2666 should be stable.

3 sticks is an odd amount of RAM. Use 2 or 4, not 3. Take out 1 and only use a matched pair. A matched pair is RAM that come with 2 or 4 sticks in the same package.

Early Ryzen Memory controllers were problematic at high speeds, and add 2 dimms to a single channel put much more load on it. Zen+ is better but still nowhere near as good as Zen3. If you want higher ram speeds and better cpu performance, an R5 5600X or non-x would be a massive upgrade that your motherboard (even alot of 300-series) would most likely support and they are dirt cheap. Best drop in upgrade i have ever done.
