Rock B450 Pro4 QVL processor upgrade option
Hi, I'm a bit upset about this. I have an As rock b450 pro4 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU. I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM to Klevv DDR4 Bolt XR Series PC28800 at 3600MHz with 16GB (2x8GB). I'm frustrated because I can't find the RAM on the QVL list, and the vendor says they won't return it if it doesn't work on my PC. Anyone here can tell me if this RAM would actually fit or not? Thanks a lot!
A brief investigation shows it works well with a 3900X and appears to boost performance nicely. The memory ICs were selected using Typhoon Burner, specifically Hynix D-Die (DJR).
Djr seems limited to around 4533 tasks beyond basic bin operations. For such speeds, a 3000/3200 ballistix QVL might not be worth it since most boards already support it without needing it. Unless your RAM is too slow or timing mismatched (like Corsair), it’s probably better to stick with a dual-rank SDRAM setup. If you’re using Klevv Bolt, you’re likely in Indonesia—there are affordable Samsung 8GB sticks for about $350 and they often support overclocking. Dual-rank 4GB modules give better performance than single-rank ones because of higher bandwidth, even with the same speed and timing. You can also try dual-rank/sided sticks, which offer roughly 20% more bandwidth than single-rank ones under similar conditions. If you’re not sure, a single-rank SDRAM will work fine; just keep in mind it won’t push performance much higher. RAM modules can usually be identified by checking the last letter of the IC model behind the BCCR or BCPB markings. For low-power builds, you can run dual channels at 2V and expect stable performance without worrying about degradation, though you should avoid exceeding 1.7V to prevent any issues.
What? Didn't you... click the link I mentioned above? It was a screenshot taken at 5000mhz DDR4 DJR. And at 1T, the latency was terrible—F^, but by the timing specs, that makes sense. The rest, I'm not sure where your point is leading.
I'll add my thoughts in a separate update. The price-to-performance ratio looks good for this unit. Hynix usually supports customization, though timing configurations are often quite flexible. It should manage the 3600MHz frequency as long as the CPU memory controller can handle it. The performance might vary depending on the specific board and BIOS version used.
Assuming you don't mind the IMC dropping, where do you get the lights from? A 2V is essentially just an XOC voltage—only me would think someone else would be so foolish as to pass that current through their RAM. Not for everyday use. Micron revs around 8Gb and revs up to 16Gb in a shorter time; they can go up to about 1.7V, but without proper cooling they stop around 1.6V. If you're a masochist, it's ~1.7V; if you're normal, ~1.6V assuming good cooling.
I reside in Indonesia, yet the Samsung model appears somewhat untrustworthy due to numerous negative reviews about misleading product descriptions and other issues. I don’t intend to upgrade the RAM completely—perhaps just using XMP settings instead.
Tell that to every person who comes here that bought ram that wasn’t on the QVL and are dealing with a pos frustration box. Hardware can be funny sometimes. You should also quit telling people to run 1.8v+ into their ram. One day someone will listen to you and then their shit will break and then you’ll be somerandomasshole
All I understand is most rams perform well with proper timing and the chip should fit the system. Maybe I should add those warning sirens for 1.7v+? What does that actually mean? It could be similar to a break in a situation like Instadie, or it might refer to gradual wear over time, becoming obvious after months. Running at 1.8v isn’t enough for instant death unless you’re using a Samsung C Die or something special; 2.05v+ is when issues start showing up, though no one will dare try such high voltages except me. I might stick to 2v max and 1.5v for any RAM that isn’t a micron revision, except Samsung models except C Die, and Hyundai DJR.
