Need some assistance figuring out where you're going wrong.
Hello, I understand computers well and learn quickly, but when it comes to the BIOS I’m a bit confused.
PC specifications
Ryzen 7 2700X
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz (4x8GB)
Asus ROG Strix B450F Gaming motherboard
GTX 1060 6GB
EVGA 600W power supply
My issue is that I want to run my RAM at its rated speed of 3200MHz. Right now I’m stable at 2933MHz at 1.35V, but I’d like full power. I’ve tried 3000MHz and 3200MHz at 1.30V, 1.35V and 1.37V — games boot and run, but they constantly crash after about 10 minutes of playtime and I’ve seen a few blue screens. I think there’s something missing, but I don’t know what or how to adjust the settings properly. Could someone help me figure out what I need or how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
You possess four RAM sticks, but 2933mhz is likely the maximum you'll achieve. Consider adjusting the SOC voltage to 1.1v and turning on XMP. If that doesn't work, test 3000mhz with 1.1v SOC voltage.
Not every RAM comes with automatic setup, so you need to tweak the timing and speed manually for consistent performance rather than relying solely on XMP. I faced the same problem and after researching, it appears to relate to how the Ryzen Memory controller functions. Using Thaiphoon burner, I found the manufacturer of my RAM (SK Hynix DJR) and then entered the data into the Ryzen DRAM calculator (fields like Hynix DJR, 3600 Mhz, x570 board). You can then calculate "Safe" or "Fast" timings, but I chose "Safe". Once I obtained the new settings, I updated my BIOS, adjusted the timings and voltages manually, and saved them. Since then, everything has worked smoothly. Hope this assists you.
