i have a little issue with my ram
your system runs with 3200mhz ram, but changing the memory speed to 3200 or 3000 causes shutdowns. the motherboard seems fine since you can adjust cpu speed, ram timings, and vram. your hardware is an asus prime b450mk hyperx fury rgb 16gb 8gb*2 at 3200mhz, though it’s actually running at 2400mhz. check if the motherboard supports 3200mhz and look for any notes or warnings next to it in the bios settings.
However, it stops working once you apply XMP/ D.O.C.P., indicating there must be an issue
Your system specs are current. The power supply is a 500W Zalman WattBit 83+ M.2 slot, you have an ASUS Prime B450MK RAM, and a HyperX Fury RGB 16GB kit with two 8GB sticks. The issue might be that one stick isn’t working properly—it’s detected but only reaches 2400MHz instead of the expected 3200MHz.
The DRAM voltage is configured in the BIOS, typically starting at 1.2V. You can manually adjust it to 1.4V and test booting with the XMP profile active.
I'm experiencing a problem where my 3200MHz RAM is running at 2400MHz. It seems fine, but changing the BIOS settings to adjust the frequency isn't working. Even when I set it to 2666MHz, the system shuts down. I don’t think there’s a hardware issue since I can play games and the PC works normally. My BIOS is up-to-date, and I’m not using XMP or DOCP. How should I fix this? Please advise!
I own a 2600x and an ASRock B450 Pro 4. I faced similar problems getting RAM to function. What helped me:
- Insert sticks in slots 2 and 4
- Activate XMP profile
- Lower frequency manually to 2933
- Keep DRAM voltage at 1.35
- Raise SOC voltage to 1.1
These adjustments seem to have resolved the issue for you.
