Operating at 2133 MHz, expected speed is 3200.
I accessed the BIOS settings and changed it to Profile #1, but the device still wouldn't start.
2133 is the standard setting for DDR4 memory. It seems your device isn't set up correctly and is operating with the default configuration.
You need to adjust the settings manually. Your board indicates two XMP ports, but one uses a JEDEC stick. You’ll have to rearrange them until both report the correct speed. Changing DOCP in the BIOS leads to a system failure afterward.
They need to shift into the second and fourth positions. Each item moves one slot to the right. For slot 2, having a stick there might help DOCP function. Use x|xx as your reference. Test each stick individually.
This setup uses a Ryzen 2 processor, which can handle a wide range of performance levels. There’s a specific limit on how fast the processor can run depending on memory speed, but it’s not a concern in this case. The actual speed isn’t just measured in MHz; several factors like CAS influence real performance. For Ryzen 2, a good choice is around 3600 cas16, though lower MHz options can support higher CAS values. If you have faster memory such as 3200MHz or 3600MHz, it will perform similarly to these speeds, with some variations based on the exact model.
