Can't OC Ryzen 5 2600?
Attempting to learn overclocking for the first time, I often face issues where the CPU core ratio in the BIOS is set to auto. After updating my BIOS to the latest version, some recommendations suggested this might be the cause of the problem. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 2600, an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, a G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB 3200MHz, and an XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy. I previously increased my memory overclock to reach its rated speed of 3200MHz, which improved game performance. Now, my memory has returned to 2133MHz. Any advice would be appreciated, and I plan to file a support ticket with ASUS.
Typically, you need to adjust certain configurations before others become accessible. The XMP memory settings are usually a major factor, though most manuals will guide you through each step. It’s only setting it to auto because something is compelling it to do so; once that’s disabled, it should function normally again.
I’ve noticed the phrase “XMP memory profile” frequently but can’t locate it in the BIOS settings.
Certainly, when switching the Ai Overclock Tuner to DOCP Standard or Manual settings, the CPU Core Ratio remains set to Auto.
It looks like you just entered the multiplier right next to "Auto." It's odd that the box turns grayed out. Also, it seems reasonable to set your CPU to 4.0 and memory to 3200 with everything else left in auto mode, including voltage. After running Cinebench R15 and playing some games, your temperatures are low and the system is stable—using a stock cooler might be a good idea. I've been hesitant to overclock for ten years; this feels much simpler than I thought. Lol
