Reboot sequence for XMP with Ryzen 5800x processor
Reboot sequence for XMP with Ryzen 5800x processor
Hi everyone, I recently replaced my Ryzen 5800x with a Ryzen 3600x on a b450 Tomahawk Max. Using the 3600x allowed me to turn on XMP for my DDR4 3200MHz RAM. After switching to the 5800x, I also enabled XMP for my DDR4 3200MHz RAM. Before making the change, I cleared my old GPU drivers and reset everything in the BIOS to its default settings. Now, everything seems back to normal except for XMP support. When I try to enable XMP in the BIOS (profiles 1 and 2), the system restarts, then rapidly boots over and over for about 30 seconds before launching Windows. My RAM still shows 2133MHz even though the XMP profile is active in the BIOS. This isn’t a major issue with the RTX 3070; it was my brother’s and he worked fine with XMP. I’m unsure what I did, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Keep it at the standard setting and savor a smooth gaming experience. The gaming speed boost is just a few frames per second.
It seems like you made progress but also regressed because you didn’t enable XMP.
Someone will share the recommended manual adjustments and guide you through increasing your RAM one step at a time. @SupaKomputa I believe this approach works well. I’m excited to join in!
Prepare the system thoroughly by cleaning all components, including memory cards, slots, and the GPU. You may manually adjust the memory settings. Gradually increase the RAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.45V. Set the processor speed to 3200MHz with auto timings. Save, boot, rinse, and repeat until stability is achieved. Align XMP settings if needed; otherwise, increment timings by 1 or 2 at a time. For example, if XMP values are 16-18-18-36, try 18-19-19-38 and so on. If adjustments fail, lower the speed to 2666-3000, preferably above 2133.
The difference between 1.35 and 1.37V for DRAM voltage isn't significant enough to cause issues in most cases. Adjusting manually to 1.37V resolved the problem, suggesting it wasn't a placebo effect.
