Overclocking fail on memory.
Overclocking fail on memory.
So I've been trying to set my memory speed on my ram to 2666mhz since that was the speed it was advertised at. But in my bios, it shows that it is at 2133mhz. I've tried to set it at 2400mhz, and 2666mhz but everytime I exit and save, my computer turns off, and on for like 3 times, and on the fourth time, a screen pops up and tells me my System info and that "overclocking Failed".
I was able to get my Ryzen 7 1700 from 3Ghz to 3.65. So my CPU is fine.
Here is what I have:
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
Mobo: ASUS Prime B350 plus -

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666mhz -

PSU: EVGA 600w 80+ white
Any help would be appreciated.
Alex_371 continued discussing the issue with Seanie, noting the discrepancy between advertised and actual RAM speed. He explained the problems he encountered with overclocking attempts and the system warnings. He shared his current setup details, including the CPU model and a link to the product page.
I've been adjusting my RAM speed settings to 2666mhz as advertised, yet my BIOS still displays 2133mhz. I've attempted 2400mhz and 2666mhz, but each time I save or exit the system it shuts down or restarts multiple times. On the fourth attempt, a screen appears with System info and a warning that overclocking failed. My Ryzen 7 1700 is running smoothly at 3Ghz to 3.65Ghz, so the CPU itself seems fine.

I’m seeking advice, especially since my BIOS updates are addressing memory issues.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I previously got a game to run at full speed on a Gigabyte motherboard, but it worked best on an MSI one. Is your BIOS current? Are these memory problems being resolved with the latest updates?
Seanie280672 shared his experience adjusting memory speed on his RAM. He set it to 2666mhz as advertised but found his BIOS displaying 2133mhz. He attempted higher speeds like 2400 and 2666mhz, but the computer would shut down repeatedly upon saving or exiting. After three attempts, a warning screen appeared stating "overclocking Failed." He mentioned successfully upgrading from 3GHz to 3.65 GHz on his Ryzen 7 1700 CPU. The details of his components are listed, and he sought advice on whether BIOS updates were still available.
I checked ASUS's website and found the BIOS update information. There were six updates total, including one beta version and five detailed versions. I only updated to version 606, thinking it covered everything, unless I needed to install the remaining specific updates.
I've been adjusting my RAM's memory rate to 2666mhz as it was the advertised speed. However, my BIOS displays it at 2133mhz. I've attempted 2400mhz and 2666mhz, but each time I save or exit, the computer shuts down and restarts about three times. On the fourth attempt, a screen appears with System info and a message saying "overclocking Failed."
I managed to upgrade my Ryzen 7 1700 from 3GHz to 3.65 GHz, which confirms my CPU is functioning properly.

My PSU is up to date.
I had a game that ran at full speed on a Gigabyte motherboard, but switched to an MSI one first. It seems your BIOS is current, and memory issues are being resolved with recent updates.
The main recommendation is to use 0606, which updates the CPU microcode and helps with memory problems.
Additionally, after struggling with my RAM, I followed these steps: load the XMP profile, then manually adjusted other RAM settings. My system would reset a few times before returning to 2133mhz. I also added a small adjustment to the Dynamic SoC voltage in BIOS—possibly labeled CPU NB voltage—to raise it to around 1.125V (currently stock is 0.900V, max around 1.2V).

I'm seeking assistance.
I previously experienced issues with my RAM, where after launching a game, it would immediately reach full speed on a Gigabyte motherboard but revert to 2133mhz on an MSI one. My BIOS seems current, and memory problems are being addressed via recent updates.
On the other hand, I had success with a Gigabyte motherboard after setting my CPU to full speed on an MSI card, and a few failed attempts followed by a reboot back to 2133mhz. The solution involved enabling XMP profiles, leaving other RAM settings auto, adjusting voltage, timings, and speed to auto. I also increased the Dynamic SoC voltage slightly in the BIOS—possibly labeled CPU NB voltage—to reach around 1.125V total, which is higher than the stock 0.900V but below 1.2V.
I plan to test this change.

I've attempted settings of 2400 and 2666mhz, but each time I save or exit, the computer shuts down and restarts about three times before finally showing a message about overclocking failure.

I've tried a Gigabyte motherboard and found it to be functional.
Regarding the memory issues, I updated my BIOS about a week ago. It seems the updates should have resolved the problem. If you're experiencing similar issues, updating the CPU microcode (like CPU microcode update 0606) might help. Some users reported success by setting XMP profile to 1 and leaving other RAM settings auto, adjusting voltage slightly, and ensuring the system stays at 2133mhz.
I also read that running a game on an MSI motherboard allowed full speed without issues, while using a Gigabyte motherboard led to crashes. It might be worth checking if your BIOS is current or if there are other recent updates.
For reference, I ran an OCCT Linpack test with stable performance at 1700 MHz and 3200mhz RAM, which was challenging before the microcode update.
