Running at 2133 MHz following a 16GB upgrade to 32GB (8x4) storage
Recently my RAM was upgraded from 16GB to 32GB with 4 slots, both identical models and specs. The speed increased to 2133MHz instead of the previous 3600MHz. There was no such problem before when I upgraded another 16GB (8GB x 2), and I already enabled DOCP at 3600MHz. I followed all the steps from past tech tips, but it still isn’t working. Do you have any other solutions I can try? My current specs are Ryzen 5 5600X, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3600MHz, 16GB (8x2) x2, ASUS ROG Strix B450F gaming. Thanks.
Have you checked by using each kit individually? If DOCP adjustments didn’t stabilize, it will undo all modifications.
Consider testing at lower than maximum speed, such as 3200, then gradually decreasing until a suitable speed is found for all DIMMS. The challenge with four memory modules lies in the CPU's memory controller handling the increased load and minor timing variations between slots on the motherboard, which can impact performance. In theory, higher-quality boards have a better chance of achieving compatible speeds. For optimal results, aim for a 2x16 32GB configuration to replace all four modules.
