Need info on Ram timings? Let me know!
Hello, I previously had just one HyperX fury 16GB 3200 and one Kingston Fury 16Gb 3200 running at D.O.C.P with its original clock speeds. I understand these models look different but are essentially the same chip, just rebranded by Kingston since they dropped the HyperX name. After upgrading, my PC would fail to boot when using D.O.C.P, or sometimes start but then freeze and require a hard reboot. What helped was enabling Auto mode (D.O.C.P off), setting RAM speed to 3200MHz, and adjusting voltage to 1.35V. This sometimes changes timings to 17-17-17 or even 22-22-22. I’m curious about how this affects gaming and productivity without a dedicated GPU at those speeds. (I run Adobe, Maya, and Blender.) Can I fix this issue? Mobo: Asus Prime B550M-K (Bios rev. 2423) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4750G GPU: Built-in APU RAM: 64GB (1xHX432C16FB3A/16 [HyperX Fury 16x1Gb 3200] 3xKF432C16BB1A/16 [Kingston Fury 16x3 3200]) OS: Windows 10 Pro
Looser schedules can harm memory-intensive programs. Applications like Adobe and Blender demand more CPU power, though they won’t show much change compared to other tasks. Gaming on integrated graphics will be affected, but you’re already limited by a 3200MHz processor. Faster RAM is essential for better performance, especially since system RAM greatly influences results. Even with the same hardware from the same brand, compatibility isn’t guaranteed. Manufacturers frequently replace chips without updating their models. Upgrading RAM later by adding more sticks is often pointless. Problems are common, mainly because you’re increasing stress on the memory controller. It’s usually wiser to purchase a suitable new kit and sell the old one on the used market for some savings.
DCP/XMP configurations are designed for a single kit per system. Combining kits, even if they match the same model, can compromise stability at its specified setting. Including another kit in the same memory channel tends to be more tolerant, whereas mixing across channels is generally less safe.
You can attempt to resolve the issue by adjusting voltages and timing settings manually. This is similar to overclocking memory in general.
