No, your CPU or memory isn't limiting your RAM performance.
No, your CPU or memory isn't limiting your RAM performance.
Your RAM is labeled for 3200MHz, but your system only operates at 2400MHz as shown by Task Manager. It’s unclear if this is due to software limitations or hardware constraints. You might be able to adjust the settings manually, though upgrading your RAM or CPU could provide better performance. Your current setup uses a Ryzen 3 1300X in an A520M DS3H motherboard.
Enable XMP to allow it to operate at 3200MHz. However, the Ryzen 1000 lacks a strong memory controller, making reaching 3000MHz typically very challenging.
They accommodate up to 3200 MT/s, though reaching it proved challenging... My setup uses a Ryzen 5 2400G, essentially a first-gen Ryzen with a GPU added: I managed solid 3200 MT/s RAM on a B350 board, but I went through three memory kits before achieving stable performance. G:Skill Ripjaws4 3200 wasn’t viable, capping at around 2800. G.Skill TridentZs reached 3200 but felt somewhat unstable, so I opted for a Patriot Viper4 kit to hit the target immediately without issues. One might assume more expensive TridentZs would perform better than cheaper Viper4s, but that’s not always the case—especially with my A520 chipset, which seems quite compatible with RAM speeds. It really depends on the memory controller in my 1300X. In short, experiment with various brands and models; with Ryzen 1000 there’s no guarantee of finding the right combo.
