In the BIOS, Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 5200MHz displays 4800Mhz.
Hi!
Do you know if anyone has a Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 5200MHz CL40 Dual Channel Kit?
How did you achieve such performance?
In my experience, the BIOS speed is around 4800mhz.
Is it safe to increase the DRAM frequency to 5200mhz in the BIOS?
My current setup:
AMD Ryzen 9 7900 3.7GHz
MSI PRO B650-P WIFI
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12GB GDDR6X 192-bit DLSS 3.0
Cooler CPU Deepcool AK620
SSD Crucial P3 1TB PCI Express 3.0 x4 M.2.
Everyone said my PC should run extremely fast (for video editing), but I still feel it's not up to the mark.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Have you turned on X.M.P/AMD's E.X.P.O in BIOS?

Everyone said my PC should run much faster
You should have considered a dual channel DDR5-6000MHz tight latency RAM setup to fully utilize your system, since DDR5-6000Mhz is ideal for DDR5 configurations (regardless of Intel or AMD).

Hello and thank you for your response.
Yes, EXPO is activated in bios and set to 5200Mhz, and my current bios version is the latest one.
Unfortunately, my PC's configuration was customized by a company that specializes in computers for video editing needs, but they didn't tailor it for me. That's why I wasn't aware this dual set kit works better with Intel than AMD. Right now I have to use it and try to get the most out of it, but since I'm not an expert, I'm exploring other options in this situation.
When I power on my PC now, the EZ Debug LED sequence starts with one red light for a minute, followed by an orange light for the next, then the third light turns white, the third light goes off, and the last one becomes green, allowing the system to boot. It takes about two minutes to start after the modification each time I turn it on. This behavior has never happened before. I'm not an expert, just a bit knowledgeable.
Sorry to let you down, but increasing RAM speed won't significantly boost video editing performance on an AMD CPU. I'm currently using a 7950X with two 32GB Kingston kits at 4800MT/s. The graphs below show the blue bars. In DaVinci Resolve, the 5200MT/s setup ran slightly slower than the 4800MT/s version with more precise timing.

Focusing on improving RAM timings at 4800MT/s likely won't yield much gain. If a 5200MT/s system works, would it really justify a small speed boost in Premiere Pro?
You might be better off investing heavily in a faster GPU—like a 24GB RTX 5090 or more, or a 48GB RTX 6000 Ada. You could even consider selling the car or paying off your mortgage.

Switching to a multi-core Threadripper would help.

If the system maintains memory performance when XMP/EXPO/DOCP are active, then the slowdown is expected in some cases.
Turn off memory overclocking, revert to 4800MT/s, and restart Windows multiple times. If you're fortunate, boot times should noticeably improve at default JEDEC settings.
Thank you for this detailed response. I improved my previous system to this configuration, with a Ryzen 9 7900 3.7GHz and a GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12GB, which performs significantly better than the old one, though it might require some adjustments. I'm currently using Premiere Pro for rendering 4K and AI tasks.
Your motherboard was not satisfied with the RAM configuration in the BIOS and was searching for a compatible option. Eventually, it discovered a lower-speed setting that enabled the boot process to proceed. Handling a poor selection is typical and acceptable. You may reach out to Corsair customer support. Alternatively, you can attempt your preferred settings while gradually raising the RAM voltage until it functions properly. Ensure a complete memtest confirms no errors.
Because the benchmark from Puget Systems indicates almost no progress at 5200MT/s, it’s best to maintain the current speed of 4800MT/s.
In contrast to gaming, there’s little value in seeking faster RAM for Premiere Pro. You’d achieve greater benefits by adding more CPU cores and upgrading to an RTX 5090, though this would come with significant expense. It’s wiser to continue using what you have and accept the limitations.
On my editing setup, I set up three 1TB M.2 NVMe drives.
Options included:
1) Windows + Adobe + Topaz software
2) Adobe + Topaz scratch disk
3) Video work-in-progress files
You might see improvement by adding a second M.2 NVMe drive (500GB would suffice, but 1TB could be more efficient) and setting it up as an Adobe scratch disk.

Having everything on a single drive isn’t ideal:
a) Windows with its own page file and swap file
b) Adobe scratch files
c) Video files currently being processed
Separating these elements can help—even a standard SATA drive could make a difference by keeping work-in-progress files accessible. The extra SSDs may offer only minor gains, but experimenting is worth considering.
