securing an 8gb ram for my ryzen 1600
1- DDR4 08GB 3000 MHZ (KIT OF1) ADATA CL16 XPG Z1 RED
2- DDR4 ADATA XPG FLAME 8Go 2400 MHZ AX4U240038G16-SBF
ram-2 is quite affordable but runs at a lower speed. can i obtain the second ram at 2400mhz and raise it to 2933? would it be safe for extended use, or should i stick with ram-1?
This indicates they possess or utilized modules from that series, which were designed for varying speeds ranging from 2400 to 3000. That specific module is the 2400 model.
No, it will never go from 2400 to 2933. The reason is it mentions XMP through the link provided.
ADATA XPG Flame DDR4 8GB 2400MHz is rated for 2400, it won't be overclocked to 2933, you'll need a 3000 and that will default to 2933 on Ryzen.
do you mean every RAM is not overclocked to higher speed or just this RAM? ... "Fast speeds up to 3000MHz" read here please
There is an issue where 2400 modules cannot be converted to 2933. Even using XMP, DOCP, or manual methods, it remains unsolvable.
XMP adjusts the voltage and specifications to achieve the advertised 2400 speed. If more RAM were available, it would be marketed as a faster option at a higher cost.
Also, I don’t believe you’d want just one stick of RAM if you’re focused on performance. Consider purchasing a 2-stick matched kit for better dual-channel speeds.
Ryzen has specific requirements for RAM. Choose a kit that matches the motherboard’s QVL list. If needed, visit a RAM website such as adata and use their selection tool. Enter your motherboard details to see recommended kits.
If every single one of the 2400 could reach overclocking at 2933 or above, none of the more advanced modules would be purchased.
There is an error stating that 2400 modules cannot be OC to 2933. Even with XMP, DOCP, or manual methods, it isn't working. From their website.
