Overclocking RAM

[Killfranzy]

Does anyone knows how to OC Avexir Core Series 8GB (2x4GB) 2400mhz RAM? It runs 2133mhz in my BIOS at default.

You just have to set XMP in the BIOS so it will run at the advertised speed.

I already updated my BIOS to the latest version but the XMP option is still missing. I have a Gigabyte A320m-s2h mobo.

Oh, I didn't know you are on Ryzen.

 

On the mobo support page that is written:

"Support for DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2667*/2400/2133 MHz memory modules
* Actual support may vary by CPU. "

 

I am sure you can set it to 2400mhz in the bios options somewhere, (check advanced options?).

Yeah. I've already checked the advance tho. I can only set it via manual, but thing is idk how to set it manually.

You just choose the frequency, that's all. If your kit is rated for 2400 mhz it should run at that speed no problem.

I just edit the 2133 to 2400? No need to edit voltages and timings and I'm good?

From your motherboard's manual under the M.I.T. section in the BIOS:

 

Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) (Note 2)
Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled.
Disabled Disables this function. (Default)
Profile1 Uses Profile 1 settings.
Profile2 (Note 2) Uses Profile 2 settings.

Is it still not there?

This should be the easiest way.

Yeah. If you say you don't  have xmp for some reason, than yeah, this is the simplest way to get your memory running at 2400.

Mmm...yeah, the small text in the user guide says it won't appear if your CPU and/or memory module don't support it.  I guess I don't have a suggestion aside from doing it the manual way.

I can only set it 2400mhz right? Can't go beyond that?

You can try and see if it's stable.  I personally don't have experience with manually overclocking memory, sorry.  Could someone else chime in on this?

[Killfranzy]

I wonder if It can go beyond 2400mhz tho...
