Optimize performance with restricted RAM settings on B550 Aorus Elite AX V2.
Upgraded to Aorus B550 Elite AX V2 with the same parts except RAM. The CPU is Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 MHz 16 GB (8 GB x2) and CL15. On my previous Asrock model there were many XMP settings that often caused crashes, but I managed to run the 3200 preset smoothly. Now on the new Aorus there’s only one XMP option—3000MHz—and even after updating BIOS and chipset, it still doesn’t support 3200. Is this a hardware limitation or can I further customize this RAM? If I add more RAM, should I opt for another 16GB of 3200MHz sticks for a total of 32GB, or would 16GB of 3600MHz be better? I mainly play games at 1080p and have a Ryzen 5 3600X.
To run DDR4-3200 memory, you need to adjust it manually. The previous board likely used overclocking settings that differ from the XMP profile stored directly in the RAM. If the memory performed well at 3200 on the old setup, it should also work similarly on the new one.
