RAM ISSUE
RAM ISSUE
Hello, I see you're facing some issues with your RAM setup. It sounds like you had two 4GB sticks initially, then upgraded to more sticks, but the total capacity is still lower than expected. You mentioned trying XMP profiles and manually setting speeds, but the system doesn't recognize them properly. The discrepancy between what you think and what the tools show is confusing. Let me know if you'd like guidance on checking RAM compatibility or adjusting settings correctly.
I understand xmp isn't a certainty, but I'm not sure what might be the problem. Could the RAM be faulty? Your specs include a Ryzen 3 3200g, an NVMe GeForce GTX 1650, some Viper Gaming RAM, and a 1TB Western Digital drive.
Yes, the MSI B450M VDH Pro Max supports M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs.
Ryzen+ memory controller faces challenges with 4 dimms at 3200 MHz. Begin by boosting SoC voltage to 1.2V, DRAM voltage to 1.4V, and set XMP timings manually. If unsuccessful, lower memory capacity to 2933.
You might need increased SoC and DRAM voltages to function properly at 2933. You can also attempt a BIOS update for the motherboard, as some AGESA patches improve memory performance.
I changed my BIOS on the motherboard but received no response.
