Overclocking Help

[Slaxc]

I’m trying to overclock my memory. I’m running a Ryzen 7 1700 Gigabyte Gaming 5 and 3200Mhz Corsair 16Gb, I cant get the memory to overclock what so ever. I’ve chosen the XMP profile which sets it to 3200 but it won’t work.

Try setting the settings in the BIOS manually.

I think it might be failing to POST at 3200, then automatically downgrading to 2400.

 

memory overclocking guide in sig BTW

Have to leave in a few but let me give you some quick advice on Ryzen memory overclocking 

 

First set XMP profile see if that boots if not try it again but this time change the speed to 3066mhz if that fails try 2933mhz(90% likely to work) 

 

Make sure you have the most up to date bios this is extremely important

Just so others here can help you better make sure you show them the exact model number of your memory kit. So we know the timings and such.

I think that is your board you will download the latest bios and put it on a flash drive then you will go into your bios and select the option to update the bios here is a video of your board someone made it to show users how to update their bios 

 

 

Edit what matter what do not turn off the system when its doing this even if it takes 10min

Quick question, what if the new bios gives me problems, is it easy to switch back?
