Need assistance regarding memory timing and frequency.
Need assistance regarding memory timing and frequency.
I swapped my two DDR4 modules and it defaulted to 2133 MHz. Their settings differ, including frequency. Since no compatible RAM was available, I checked the specifications. Using DOCP causes crashes until the BIOS enters safe mode. Please help! See the link you shared: https://valid.x86.fr/u9duy5. The system still treats the GSkill RAM as 2133 MHz but reports 3000 MHz. I followed the manual instructions for slot placement. Thanks, Edited December 31, 2023 by gantugsmk
The models for each stick are listed. The main steps remain consistent: configure the memory voltage to 1.35V (or the XMP value), gradually increase the memory frequency (starting at 2133, then 2400, 2666, etc.) until the system fails to boot. Then reduce the memory speed until stress tests fail, lowering timings one at a time until stability returns. You'll need to become comfortable with the clear CMOS button, as many adjustments will require the system to restart.
Since 2133 corresponds to JEDEC and 3000 aligns with XMP, the recommended actions remain consistent.
Are you confident? OEM Hynix RAM sticks are plentiful and found everywhere, whether used or new. Share the burner screenshot for both types to spot ICS and revisions, which can help avoid overclocking issues. Knowing the ICS will aid in matching specific frequencies and timing for successful operation.
I was constrained by a limited budget, but having a little extra money would have helped. Appreciate the guidance!
Thank you for the guidance. It looks like the system is functioning well at 2833mhz. Wishing you a joyful New Year!
