Can't increase CPU speed by boosting RAM or activating XMP settings.
Can't increase CPU speed by boosting RAM or activating XMP settings.
I recently upgraded my Motherboard to a B450 Tomahawk Max and decided to refresh my RAM as well. I chose a pre-owned Hyper X Predator 3200 model because it supports speeds of 3200 and above and has RGB lighting. Previously, with my old RAM, I managed to overclock to 3000 MHz from 2666 MHz and achieved 4GHz on my Ryzen 5 2600 without any problems. Now, I’m encountering issues where neither the XMP profiles (2933/3200) can be enabled, and I’m unable to overclock the CPU at all. Despite being able to reach 4GHz and 3000 MHz with my previous setup, I’m stuck and unsure why this isn’t working now. I’ve adjusted timings, voltages, updated the BIOS, swapped RAM for a different configuration, and even updated the chipset, but nothing seems to resolve the problem. The system boots normally with the BIOS settings, but when I power off or put it to sleep, it doesn’t come back up. There’s no DEBUG LED, and the only way to access the system is by clearing the CMOS. Any suggestions on what to do next?
It might be that the SPD-info on the hyperx-ram is incorrect, which means XMP won't function properly.
