Memory frequency?

[SupremeGOAT]

I just finished assembling my upgradable RYZEN pc everything is snappy and smooth but i noticed that my ram is being read at 2133. In the bios i changed the ram speed to 3200 (there was an option for it i didnt type it in)>pc restarted being read as 3200mhz now cool> installed drivers>updated bios >downloaded CPUZ . When i select memory tab the DRAM frequency is fluctuating around 1600mhz is that right? Is there an app i can use to see pc stats while playing games oh and how do you OC IGPU in asus x470 prime MB ( i found out how to alocate VRAM this morning and set to 2 gb.

Yes, that's correct.

 

3200MHz is the "double" data rate (hence the acronym DDR). 1600MHz is the actual base frequency of the RAM.

DDR is Double-date Rate. So 1600 is 3200.

 

Try CPUz for information. HWinfo is good as well.

 

You don't need to set the reserved memory above 512 mb. System actually already handles it, so it doesn't do anything useful to reserve a lot.

 

On the memory,

You can probably tune the timings tighter, which will improve the performance in games.

Try and fiddle with settings to kill the fluctuation though. Find a setting called "Spread Spectrum" (Or whatever AMD calls it) and disable it.
