ryzen 5 xmp boot cycle

[stevenly]

hey guys, whenever i set my ram to 2933 (advertised speed is 3000mhz) using xmp it will cycle turning on and off until it boots to windows. When i check my ram speeds using cpuz it just shows 2133 (the speed that was set automatically) how do i fix this to get it to 2933mhz everytime i boot up?

Update it. Newer bios versions improve system stability and memory compatibility.

 

The power cycling is a feature.  If you make changes to ram frequency or voltage, the board will attempt to 'learn' stable sub-timings by powering off/on a few times.  You might even be able to adjust these 'fail attempts' in the bios.  My ASRock board defaults to 3 attempts.  If I'm trying for a really aggressive overclock, sometimes I raise that number higher to give the board more opportunities to successfully boot.  If it's unable to find a 'working' set of sub-timings due to your changes, it'll load defaults, 2133 ram, perhaps even stock CPU frequency.

 

Just go into your bios after you reboot to make sure it's set correctly. A bios update will help, however.

According to this source, your ram kit (TLRED416G3000HC16CDC01) contains 'Single Rank' dimms (chips only on one side) and Hynix M-Die chips. Coincidentally, my kit of ram is also Single Rank Hynix M-Die and after a bios update on my ASRock board, it worked flawlessly after enabling XMP and selecting 2933.

Without a doubt. You may be able to do it directly from within the bios over your Ethernet connection, or you can download the bios file and put it on a Fat16/32 formatted USB drive and update from within the bios. https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350M-HDV/index.asp#BIOS

Just go into your bios and search for a method to update your bios via the internet.

FAT 16/32 is a type of file system (HDD, SD cards, USB, etc. use them)

 

But I suggest you Google things you don't know, you could also learn how to update your bios that way.
