Issue with RAM overclocking not functioning
Issue with RAM overclocking not functioning
Hey there, I'm having an issue with my OC RAM.
My setup:
- Boards: MSI B350 Tomahawk
- RAM: GSKill Aegis 16GB 3000MHz (2x8GB sticks)
- CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X
When I try to set the RAM to 2933, it won't stay on. It just flips a few times and then the BIOS resets it back to 2133, which is the default.
I've also tried lowering the speed below 2133 without success.
XMP didn't work either, even when I adjusted the voltage to 1.35V.
I checked the motherboard website to see if the RAM was supported, and it was listed there.
My CPU OC is fine, but I think the problem lies elsewhere—maybe the RAM isn't being recognized properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks for reading, have a great day.
Are you adjusting your infinity clock to match the 1:1 ratio with your RAM speed? Also, consider setting the RAM speed to 2667MHz, which is the maximum supported by your CPU.
Thanks for the reply,I appreciate it.
I'll try that in a bit,but here's the update of the situation:
I took one of the sticks out and the overclock works. So why does dual channel OC not work?
When both of the sticks are in the system they are in slots 2 and 4.
It seems you're likely experiencing issues with either your stick or motherboard. Try exchanging them and see if that resolves the problem. After that, perform some stress tests to ensure stability. If both components function independently, test them together in various slot combinations (1-3, 3-4, 1-2, etc.).
