I'm facing issues with my RAM and CPU not functioning as expected. The CPU is a native 3.5 fx6300, I have 2x4gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2133hz RAM, and an ASRock 970m Pro3 motherboard. When I adjust the RAM speed and latencies to match the rate speeds listed, it drops to 880hz instead of the intended 1600. This happens after resetting to UEFI defaults. I think I'm on version 1.40 or 1.50 and should consider upgrading to 1.60.

xmp functions as a universal ram oc profile, but its effectiveness can vary because of differences in rams. One of the two xmp profiles I tried didn't work at all, though it was still unstable. The manual approach seems to be the best option.

yes, it will help memory support. okay will do. which one should I use? does it matter which sequence? the instructions under "how to" linked from the address all seem for windows 7. i plan to download all three 1.60 updates, "Instant Flash, DOS, Windows," but in what sequence?

Get the most recent version. Instant flash works best. No deletions allowed, and you can't proceed.

In a side note, when I enter my current BIOS XMP 1.2 and 1.3 are both available. These settings provide the correct presets for my RAM configurations, but using them doesn't work properly. I wouldn't be surprised if they're only meant for Intel systems, as I thought? It's strange that an AM4 motherboard BIOS/UEFI would include this option.

just grab the newest version, an instant flash works best. No deletes allowed and you won't be able to
You'll need to unpack the downloaded files onto a flash drive
must it be a flash drive? Can I use an extra SATA HD I already have?
