I recently installed a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, a B350 MSI Gaming Pro carbon MMO, and 16GB of Corsair LXP RAM (2x8 sticks) at 3200 MHz. I’m aware of past problems where Ryzen motherboards didn’t recognize the correct RAM speeds. In BIOS, my RAM shows 2133 while it’s actually 3200. When I select DDR 3200, the system reports 2993 and it works fine for me. My CPU was overclocked to 3.8 GHz, and everything ran smoothly until now. Now everything is acting up—BIOS shows a multiplier of 38 for 3.8 GHz, but RAM is set to 3200 and won’t register properly. At my desktop, CPU runs at 3.2 GHz and RAM at 2133. I’m unsure what to do. When I enter BIOS, all settings I want are selected, but once I reach the desktop it fails to register. Yes, I have the latest MSI BIOS, and I’ve set voltages at 1.35V for both CPU and RAM. Every time I save and exit BIOS, my system boots or shuts down multiple times—this is normal, but now it’s taking a long time to boot successfully. The motherboard’s EZ bug LEDs indicate CPU and DRAM issues. I’m not sure what to do and would really appreciate any advice or solutions from others.

It's the voltage for the memory controller and other parts inside the CPU, excluding the cores. It usually defaults near .96v, but I'm thinking about setting it at 1.13v. 1.2 is the range I've observed. But this voltage isn't straightforward—like Intel SA voltage. In short, a lower voltage can actually improve stability instead of boosting performance.

It seems memory training problems are present. Reboots indicate the system is attempting to POST at 3200. It's typical for the system to revert to 2133 if it fails to reach XMP settings. Could you confirm your SOC voltage? Does your board also support a DRAM boot voltage in addition to the standard one? I'd also consider testing a 1.4v DRAM voltage, as this may resolve the issue for some devices.

The problem seems related to memory training difficulties. Reboots occur because the system attempts to POST at 3200. It's typical for the system to revert to 2133 if it can't reach the XMP settings. Please confirm your SOC voltage setting. Also, does your board support a DRAM boot voltage in addition to the standard one? I'd also consider trying 1.4v on the DRAM, as this might resolve the issue for some devices.

My setup is set at 1.13v, and 1.2 seems to be the safe upper limit I've observed. This voltage isn't constant; it changes in a way similar to Intel's SA voltage. In short, sometimes using a lower voltage can improve stability rather than just boosting performance.
