3200Mhz RAM issue
3200Mhz RAM issue
Hi
I own a 32GB (4x8) XPG Spectrix D40 with 3200MHz RAM and a Ryzen 2700x - MSI x370 Gaming plus board. The latest BIOS update is installed.
My issue is that I can't run all four RAMs together at 3200Mhz; the BIOS keeps looping and returns to stock speed of 2667Mhz.
I tried placing two RAMs in the optimized slots and running at 3200Mhz with a single click, but when installing all four, I can only reach up to 3000Mhz (which is stable).
I’m not an overclocking expert, so I’m seeking advice from others.
I found some solutions by lowering the procodt value to 40 ohms.
I’m worried this might affect my RAM or its lifespan.
What should I do?
I believe overclocking works best on Intel boards when using the CPU Boost feature, but not on AMD systems, based on my own observations.
I'm concerned that Ryzen with two memory controllers might struggle to handle all four sticks at higher speeds. It could require some adjustments on a Samsung-based memory solution for better performance. Noticing the minor variation between 3000 and 3200MHz overall, and that lower CAS latency might not be noticeable, extra RAM may only be beneficial in specific cases. If you have unused memory, consider trying a virtual/RAMdisk.
