Corsair Vengeance OC question
Corsair Vengeance OC question
I recently assembled a new setup using a Ryzen 2600 on an Asus Prime x470 pro with 16GB Corsair RAM. The memory runs at 3000MHz and has a 15ms latency. The RAM isn’t in the QVL, only the 16 latency variant is available. After enabling DOCP in BIOS and setting the frequency to 3000MHz, I allowed the system to auto-optimize, raising the voltage to 1.5 and keeping the frequency at 3000MHz.
I’m puzzled because when I switch to auto, the timing is set to 17. If I manually adjust it to 15, would that be problematic? Additionally, when opening the Corsair link, the reported frequency is 1496.4MHz, but why does it seem like half of the 3000MHz I configured?
DDR means Double Data Rate. This translates to approximately 3000Mhz when doubled. It’s important to perform a memory stress test prior to any adjustments to confirm stability before modifying configurations. Changing latency values from 17 to 16 or 15 might help, but setting a reliable baseline is essential for accurate comparisons.
Keep in mind, the QVL provides the only verified list of tested and confirmed memory, timing, and speed parameters. While other options exist, they often need further tuning and testing to achieve consistent results.

Memtest86 requires generating a bootable flash, but all instructions are available on their site. I prefer to perform 1-3 cycles for initial checks and 5-10 for final verification. It's taking too long to run 5-10 cycles after each minor adjustment. Good luck!
