Speed is 2133 rather than 3000
Speed is 2133 rather than 3000
I checked the motherboard details and noticed the RAM speed is listed as 2133 MHz instead of 3000 MHz. I searched various forums but didn’t find a solution that works. Changing the settings caused the system to restart three times, and once I returned to the BIOS it still stayed at the wrong frequency. I’m having trouble getting it to recognize the correct speed.
Increase your SOC voltage safely. You can raise it to 1.2v and configure your LLC for SOC at a greater level.
SOC refers to the memory controller on a chip. LLC stands for Load Line Calibration, indicating the level of strictness for voltage drops—often called VDROOP. Increasing the LLC value means the system becomes more precise in controlling voltage.
Select XMP profile 1 and let the system start with Windows. Open CMD and enter " wmic memorychip get speed" then press Enter. It should display either 3000 or 2133. If it fails to boot, the motherboard may not support the chosen profile. Consider adjusting speeds manually.
It indicates a speed of 2133, and when it crashes, the system restarts and the settings revert to their original state without any further changes.
I attempted to adjust the settings manually, but it continued to perform the same action.
What speeds did you experiment with? Your system also didn’t respond when I set it to 3000Mhz, though it functioned at 3200Mhz with the XMP profile. Adjusting manually isn’t helping either. I have the same motherboard as you. Could you tell me the BIOS version? It seems ASRock may have released updates that improve RAM performance. Your old 2133Mhz stick upgraded to 2866—maybe try 2866 or 3200 and see if it boots into Windows.
