Experiencing slowdown in RAM performance? Check your settings, update drivers, or ensure proper system configuration.
Hey, I just assembled my PC and saw in Task Manager it’s running at 4800 MHz even though I bought a 6000 MHz RAM kit. I’ve looked through some guides but none are in English or actually show how to adjust speeds in BIOS. I’m hoping this works out somehow.
Open the BIOS settings and locate an option named XMP, EXPO, or DOCP. Turn it on, and the RAM will adjust to its specified maximum speeds.
Have you checked if your BIOS is up to date? Often these issues disappear after a simple update.
You need to manually adjust the BIOS settings first. Ensure you have the latest firmware installed to apply the SOC-limiting updates and avoid damaging your memory controller. Disable XMP, DOCP, and EXPO. Configure the SOC voltage at 1.25V, set the memory speed to 5200MT/s, align the timings with the manufacturer's recommendations (such as 36-36-36-96 or 30-36-36-76), and adjust the memory voltage mode to VDD=VDDQ=VDDIO. Match this voltage to the memory kit's rated value (typically around 1.35V). Navigate into Windows, incrementally increase the memory frequency until you reach a point where you can't access Windows or hit 6000, whichever occurs first. If that fails, raise the SOC voltage to 1.3V and observe any improvements. If neither resolves the issue, reinsert the memory and CPU and repeat the process.
I followed all your instructions except when I adjusted it to 5400, then it returned to 4800 MHz. It seemed to function best at 5200.
