Performance problems with RAM
Performance problems with RAM
Hey everyone. I have four 8GB sticks at 3200Hz in my system (Radeon 2700, MSI X470), but the boot only works with 1866 and CL13. All the sticks show up, yet only 16GB is actually usable. The latest BIOS I checked on older versions didn’t help either. CMOS reset didn’t fix it, and changing speeds or delays always brings it back to 1866MHz.
Review one channel to see if it's compatible with XMP in 4 dimensions.
It has been using a dual channel setup for many years and is currently operating at 3200MHz with 16GB of memory. The four dimms are problematic—any suggestions on resolving this? Also, the Eigenvector method was tested on all options, but nothing resolved the issue.
For a 3200 MHz setup you'll likely need two 16 GB cards instead of four 8 GB ones. Using four sticks puts extra strain on the CPU's memory controller, and some cards can't handle higher speeds with more than two sticks. A better option might be to go with slightly lower frequencies, like 3000 MHz.
Ryzen 7 2700 can handle RAM speeds up to 2933mhz. You're using 3200mhz. Boosting RAM speed by 10% improves system performance by about 1%, while keeping stability in mind. When you use all four DIMMs, the memory might not automatically adjust its voltage. Your RAM testing was done with Memtest x64, performed overnight with eight passes, not using Windows.
