Dual or single?

two 4gb sticks came in one pack. Somebody from ASUS told me it was a single Chanel kit. I would like to know what it is.

Tell us the model number and specs for both of them and we will follow.

Kit can be run in single or dual channel. If you use the same colored slots, it will run in dual channel.

 

You decide, basically. It's a 2-stick kit, but you don't _have_ to run dual channel... although, why not, really.

 

Heck, I could run completely different sticks of memory in dual channel and it would work.

This is your kit of memory. Not sure where you got that model number you sent to ASUS from, considering the only thing that brings up in an internet search is this post. It's a dual-channel kit and with the application of XMP settings, it should run at specified speeds just fine (assuming the system is Intel).

Okay. Running AMD but in dual channel the system doesn’t boot

Did you update the bios to the latest version

[Anagentofchaos]

Yep

Yes

[sambarr]

Are you using the default settings? At default, the memory will run at 2133 MHz. Did you try to switch the ram to the other slots? I suppose so.

 

Do you have a post error code? Some motherboards have an indicator for error codes, on the motherboard. Because when you say that the system does not boot, do you mean that there's nothing happening at all on screen? 

[Anagentofchaos]

Either stays red for CPU or yellow for DRAM

[sambarr]

Also, if you try both sticks individually, (1, and then you switch it for the other one), does the system boot in both cases?

Ughh i got to rotate my head to see that.

Its dual channel kit.

It will be fine just turn on the XMP on the BIOS and it will run at 3000mhz

Don’t have XMP. I’m AMD/ASUS

RAM made for Intel will not have the settings that AMD uses.

So this ram is not compatable?

It's compatible. Just need to manually set in the timings in the bios.

There isn’t a selection for 3000Mhz and chasing the DRAM VOLTAGE and timings 15-17-17-17-35. Doesn’t work either

Looking at your previous threads, you will most likely NEED to increase the SOC voltage to 1.1v. I don't care how you do it, but the likely hood of you getting anything over 2133 with 0.850 on soc is slim to none. If you don't believe me, fee free to ask around and do your own research. Overclocking memory on Ryzen, nine times out of ten, will require you to increase SOC Voltage to 1.1v. No higher than 1.2.

 

With SOC Voltage at 1.1v. DRAM Votlage at 1.35 to 1.40v. Timings at 18-18-18-18-40, a potato should be able to do 2666MHz with ram in A2/B2. If not, RMA the ram and get something known to work better with Ryzen. Ryzen sucks with memory compatibility.

Can I do 2933?

Nothing above 2666 is guaranteed. If you can't even boot when in dual-channel, then it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep trying the same frequency. Do anything you can to get it off 2133.

 

By the way, if you watch that video above, his Tip #5 at 4:45 actually tells you to increase SOC Voltage.
