Ram will remain unstable beyond 2866
Ram will remain unstable beyond 2866
Hello, you're looking for advice on RAM and overclocking. I purchased a GSKILL Ripjaws 3200 32GB kit, but it seems unstable beyond 2866. At 2933 it launches and works with browsers, though it crashes when I start watching YouTube or TV shows. Only after lowering the settings does it function in games. Over the past half year or more, I've experimented with various BIOS settings, XMP profiles, custom profiles, timing adjustments, and driver updates. I've tried different CPU models—OCed CPU, without OC, OC GPU, and even without a BIOS update. For now, others suggest it might be due to my motherboard's limitations, possibly related to the RAM speed or hardware constraints. My motherboard is a B450 Aorus Elite Rev1.0, and I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600. The temperatures during overclocking were quite high, around 78-80°C in games.
What voltage are you using? I don't depend too much on the XMP profile since it often fails. Without XMP, I'd set it to the voltage shown on the RAM sticks and increase the speed as close as possible to the XMP setting, then gradually raise the voltage until it reaches around 3200Mhz.
I also checked 1/2 and 3/4, even though it seemed random. I noticed they probably settle at 1/2.
