Hi guys, I bought a new PC and tried to overclock the RAM. I set the profile XPMP 2 in BIOS (MSI B450 Tomahawk + Ryzen 2600) but only got 2933MHz. Then I changed the DRAM settings to manual 3000MHz. I took a screenshot of the result. Later, when I tried to boot using the settings from the DRAM calculator, the PC wouldn’t start again. Anyone have any ideas or help?

I can't display or provide actual screenshots, but I can describe what the CPU-Z SPD tab typically shows. Let me know if you'd like a detailed explanation!

These timing settings seem poor. They were hard-coded into the chip during manufacturing. Not ideal. Be careful not to input values from Ryzen Dram Calc; instead, test one value at a time for a short stability check of 5-10 minutes.

Do you mean I input one value into Bios Save, run a test, and then repeat it multiple times?

The values 3000mhz 16-20-20-38 from the XMP profile are accurate. Your RAM is currently applying those configurations. You can adjust the command rate to 1T, which is the current setting. To further refine the timing, modify them individually, test, and repeat until you achieve the desired results.

will the frame rate increase in games by tightening the timing?

Likely not (or quite minor).

What processor are you running? The 1000 series aren't as effective with memory compared to the 3000 or even 2000 series.
Have you entered all the details from the Ryzen DRAM Calculator? Did you set up the memory type accurately? This involves using Taifun to identify the DRAM chips in your DIMMs and checking the SAFE values before proceeding to FAST.
You can't just modify the main timings; secondary timings must also be adjusted, especially Termination Block settings, to ensure stability.
DIMM voltage configurations are crucial too—some DRAMs require higher voltage as clock speeds increase, while others may become unstable if overdriven. Proper pre-loading is essential for the calculator to function correctly.
For a clear explanation of the entire procedure, including stability testing, you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOqhyVNPhaM

i use a ryzen 2600
i did everything correctly in dram calculator but can't select even the fastest options (error: coming soon), so i'm only using safe values!

Safe values are quite sufficient. The variation is minimal, even during testing, and completely imperceptible while using the system. I'm just happy to know my setup is fine.
