Low-speed DDR4 3200 performance observed
I visited the BIOS settings but couldn't turn on XMP. My system doesn't allow adjustments for CPU or Memory. Is this related to using an AMD Ryzen processor?
No it does not. What are your specs? I see the AW logo, is it a pre-built? If you have an Asus board it's not XMP, it's call DOCP. Unless you have a weird prebuilt that doesn't allow it, your board 100% has either XMP or DOCP. Essentially what it is, is DDR4 only has "1 speed", and anything higher is essentially an overclock, and enabling XMP/DOCP allows your RAM to run at that advertised speed.
When using AMD, make sure the D.O.C.P profile is activated. RAM timings and frequency settings are generally simpler on AMD systems. However, as noted earlier, you might have had overclocking features removed from a previous build.
Issue resolved! Just toggle overclock and XMP a few times, restart a couple of times, and Command Center had to crash several times before everything functioned smoothly.
It was a Dell prebuild with an Aurora 10 Ryzen 7 3700 processor. I had previously ordered 8GB DDR4 2666 RAM and a 1TB HDD with a 7200 RPM drive to keep costs low. Recently, I upgraded to a 32GB DDR4 16x2 kit. I’ve been experiencing issues since then. Today I installed two SSDs—one 1TB NVMe M.2 Samsung 970 EVO and another 1TB SATA Samsung 860 EVO. It seems the changes helped; after rebooting a few times, everything worked fine.
