OC Ram for MSI B450 Tomahawk with Ryzen 5 2600.
I just assembled my new PC and everything worked perfectly, but my two RAM sticks are stuck at 2133. After setting up the BIOS, the latest version is 7C02v121 (beta). I own a B450 Tomahawk Mobo, a Ryzen 5 2600, and two 8GB G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4-3200MHz sticks. I attempted to overclock the RAM at even lower speeds but kept encountering a black screen—PC boots but doesn’t post, requiring a CMOS reset. Anyone have experience with this build? I’m confident I can surpass 2133 with these components. Is it because the BIOS is a beta version? Should I only focus on activating XMP profiles and adjusting RAM speed settings (voltage, etc.)?
I recently assembled my new PC and everything proceeded smoothly, though my two RAM sticks are still stuck at 2133. Right after setup, I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, which is 7C02v121 (beta release). I’m using a B450 Tomahawk Mobo, a Ryzen 5 2600, and two 8GB G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4-3200MHz sticks.
I attempted to overclock the RAM to lower speeds but encountered a black screen during boot, with the PC starting but not displaying properly, requiring a CMOS reset. Could anyone share their experience with this configuration? I’m confident I can surpass 2133 with these components. Is it due to the beta BIOS version? Should I only adjust XMP profiles and RAM settings (voltage, etc.)?
Please try both XMP configurations—my DIMMs only function at their rated speeds under XMP2. If that doesn’t help, basic overclocking tips suggest manually setting all parameters (disable XMP) and adjusting the DIMM voltage to 1.40. This might be higher than recommended, but once stable, you can gradually reduce it.
