Finding 3000MHz RAM for Aorus AX370 Gaming K5 with Ryzen is possible.
Finding 3000MHz RAM for Aorus AX370 Gaming K5 with Ryzen is possible.
Hey, I just assembled my new rig today. Here are the key details:
R7 1800X
16GB (8GBx2) Trident Z RGB 3000MHz
GTX 1080 Jetstream
Gigabyte Aorus AX-370 Gaming K5 Motherboard
Windows 10 Pro
In the BIOS I enabled my RAM's XMP profile (3000MHz, 1.35V, 16-18-18-38), saved and exited, but the board wouldn't recognize it. I also tried setting the CPU to 1.4V at 4GHz with the XMP profile, which didn’t work either. Could anyone help me get my RAM running at its advertised speeds? I’m not too worried about the CPU overclocking, as it seems to reach 4GHz naturally when needed.
Also, I’m using the latest BIOS version—would a chipset update make a difference? I downloaded it but don’t know how to install it.

I adjusted the BIOS to enable my RAM's XMP profile (3000MHz, 1.35V, 16-18-18-38), saved and exited, but the board wouldn't recognize it. I also tried setting the CPU voltage to 1.4V at 4GHz with the XMP profile, which didn’t work either. In short, anyone have tips on getting my RAM to run at its advertised speed? I’m not too worried about the CPU overclocking, as it seems to reach 4GHz naturally when needed.
Maybe increasing the SoC voltage would help—this has improved a lot without going beyond 1.2V total. My current setting is 1.100V to keep my RAM stable at 3200MHz on an MSI B350m board, using the same RAM as you mentioned. Also, when loading the XMP profile, don’t change any other RAM settings; these boards seem sensitive to changes.
Also, is the BIOS up to date?

I set up my new rig yesterday and here are the key details:

In the BIOS I enabled my RAM's XMP profile (3000MHz, 1.35V, 16-18-18-38), saved and exited, but the board wouldn't recognize it. After trying to push the CPU voltage up to 1.4V at 4GHz alongside the XMP setting, it still didn’t work. Essentially, anyone have any advice on how to get my RAM running at its advertised speed? I’m not too worried about the CPU overclocking, as it seems to reach 4GHz naturally when needed.
Maybe increasing the SoC voltage would help—this has improved performance significantly, though not beyond 1.2V total. My current setting is 1.100V to keep my RAM stable at 3200MHz on an MSI B350m board. The same RAM model you mentioned is used here. Also, when I enable the XMP profile, I don’t adjust any other RAM settings, as these boards seem sensitive to changes.
Lastly, is the BIOS up to date? Yes, it is. However, I’m a bit concerned because Gigabyte has released several BIOS updates for the Gaming 5, but not for the Gaming K5. The difference between the two seems minor—just a white IO cover versus a black one.
I lowered the RAM speed from 3000MHz to 2666MHz and it works fine. I’ll give a shot with your suggestions and see how it goes.
