Solving RAM issues, unclear UEFI/BIOS problems require assistance
Solving RAM issues, unclear UEFI/BIOS problems require assistance
Hi there,
Here are my specifications:
CPU: Ryzen 3700X
Memory: Gigabyte X570 Gaming X
RAM: Crucial 4x16GB 3000MHz C16 (Model Number: BLT16G4D30AETA.K16FB)
I'm working on refining my RAM timings. I have a comprehensive list from the Ryzen DRAM Calculator, but my BIOS is very confusing.
The Overclock section doesn't let me adjust values directly; it only offers some options and has numerous duplicate settings under the "General" section (name not remembered), which also lets me modify SPD settings.
I would really appreciate your assistance.
I completed all my timing tests on the standard M.I.T Section (the actual name on this Gigabyte board, I don’t know why), then did Gear Down and Power Down in both that section and Overclocking. Voltage control was only applied on M.I.T. So far, and after a 2-pass Memtest86 it’s stable. Thanks for the help, guys.
For your query about adjusting timings, should I use the General Setting instead of the Overclock Section? Also, if anyone has a Gigabyte X570 Gaming X Motherboard that can help with overclocking RAM, it's just confusing that you can change RAM timings in two different places.
well i don't own a gigabyte board, but asrock works similarly (they use agesa from amd). it shouldn't matter where you set it. the overclock page is designed to be user-friendly for those who prefer traditional overclocking methods, though it might lack some features since amd frequently updates agesa. in general settings, i think you have something like amd CBS\zen common options. this is from amd (somewhat confusing with ryan zens), here you can adjust any ryzen setting that amd provides, but the numbers are shown in hex codes (bios operates in binary). basically, if you're not familiar with binary, stick to the older style—most settings are meant for advanced users.
the issue is that the overclock section doesn't allow me to modify certain timing values. I try switching between auto and manual settings, entering desired numbers, but sometimes no options appear or the input is ignored.
I'll attempt using the safe timing values from the Ryzen Calculator and check the results.
Also I missed mentioning in the original comment that certain options are only available in Overclock, not in CBS Settings, so should I just skip them? (Examples include Gear Down Mode, Power Down Mode, SoC Voltage, etc.)
