Can't get my RAM to run at 3000MHZ

JCD69

I'm having trouble setting my ram speed properly in the bios and every time I think I've gotten it set to the proper speed (3000MHZ) CPUZ shows it at 1066MHZ. I've tried videos and looking up the issue but I'm not getting anything. 

 

MOBO: MSI tomahawk B350

CPU: Ryzen 1700x

RAM: Corsair Vengence PRO RGB 3000MHZ

If the motherboard fails to post with your memory settings it will boot with 2133 speed. It looks like you have yet to have it post with 3000mhz speed. 1066 is 2133 because you take the cpuz value and multiply by 2 as it's double. 

 

Also ryzen 1 has a hard time hitting 3000 mhz especially with the tomahawk motherboard. I would try to hit 2666 if you can't hit 3000mhz.

basically means your combo of CPU and motherboard is not good enough for 3000MHz. Try lower speeds like 2800 or 2666
