Cache displaying frequency at 1066MHz
The Corsair vengeance RGB PRO 3200mhz uses a higher frequency than the DRAM, which should be around 1600mhz. The 3200mhz speed is typically reserved for overclocking.
When DDR4 RAM operates at 2133MHz, the frequency shown often reflects the single channel rate (half of 2133MHz, which is around 1066MHz). To reach the device’s full speed, you must activate XMP/DOCP settings or configure it directly through the BIOS.
She believed it could be the reason. I reached 1465mhz (2999mhz) but failed at 1600mhz (3200mhz). It resets until it settles. Might this relate to a Ryzen processor?
What processor are you using? Be aware that most motherboards with speeds above 2666MHz are considered memory overclocking, so results can differ. Just because a RAM kit claims 3200MHz doesn’t guarantee stability. You might also encounter boot loops while the system attempts to activate XMP/DOCP profiles; if it rejects the memory overclock, it will revert to the default setting. This is likely what you’re experiencing. You probably need to perform manual memory overclocking to achieve higher speeds. I suggest running MemTest86 first to verify your RAM’s health, though that may not be necessary here. A hands-on memory overclock is doable if you’re willing to try.
