Reduce the RAM speed settings.
Reduce the RAM speed settings.
Switch away from that RAM and opt for something available on the mobile QVL. That chip can handle FCLK/MCLK far beyond 3200, possibly reaching around 2300 with a stable day. I’m also testing my 5600X outside the QVL, but it caps at 1600/3200. I’ve seen this CPU hit 2100 with a solid benchmark. When I swap in a B-Die, I can easily drop into 2000 performance without any issues. My son gets to enjoy it too.
Absolutely, I didn't even look at the quality level. I just understood it would work. You should adjust the DRAM frequency, not the FCLK. If you set the FCLK, it needs to be 1600 or half your DRAM frequency—since it's double data. A FCLK of 3200 wouldn't fit with DDR4 RAM. Probably the main problem here. Just enable XMP and set the RAM speed to 3200; everything else can stay as is. FCLK will handle itself automatically.
Thanks for the feedback. It seems my RAM isn't showing up in the MMO's specifications. I'm not very familiar with PCs, but I thought the FCLK frequency is the main data rate. I'll set it to 3200MHz temporarily and think about getting some better parts later. Appreciate the help!
no problem, and well i think if you do what i and others suggested it should still work, but there's really no guarantee for it. So -reset bios -xmp (maybe theres already a 3200 option then choose that) - if there isnt just select 3200 dram manually - save and reboot
So according to what I've learned, it does seem odd. Technically, if your RAM were faster than the CPU's recommended speed, the CPU shouldn't be limited by RAM speed. But I understand it could cause issues based on what I know. If you turn on XMP, a RAM that's supposed to be 3600 might only show 3200 unless you can somehow override it. You shouldn't need to replace the RAM, but it seems like a hassle you'd rather avoid.
