The DDR5 memory reaches a maximum speed of 5400 while being marketed as up to 6000.
Not entirely certain if it's my hardware or a hidden BIOS setting. I adjusted the speed above 5400, usually between 5600-6000, but it resets back to 4800. I’ve heard this issue before, but I can’t compare it with others since it’s personal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Specs: 2080 Super, Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB DDR5 (32x2 in DIMM preferred by the motherboard manual), ASRock B650 Pro RX if relevant.
I’m really confused about why I can’t reach 6000 and would need a specialist to help. Thanks ahead of time.
I can't display screenshots directly, but I can help you locate them. Check the Cpuz interface for memory and spd tabs with the desired dimmed slots filled.
I have just upgraded to the newest version for the bios (2.08). The RAM can be found here: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/mem...00...m2b6000c40
What changes are being made to RAM speed in BIOS? XMP or increasing memory speed? XMP affects voltage and timing, but if you manually adjust RAM speed without other tweaks, it won't work. If using XMP, ensure your motherboard supports it; compatibility issues might arise after a BIOS update. Also, what will happen if you attempt a single stick in an A2 slot?
ngl I hate asrocks UI, but, when I go in, there is the option to set it from auto to any number up to like 16000 for some reason. so I set it to 6000, nothing. 5800 same story, and 5600. Though 5400 seemed to change it for me. I also made sure XMP was enabled in a sub section just below that option.
As for the single stick, what else am I looking to do/change with that, so I can preemptively work on doing it?
Just to confirm if the same results occur with identical settings.
I looked for a video on YouTube demonstrating the steps, assuming the same UI would apply.
In the description, click timestamp 12.02—it should provide useful guidance.

If your RAM supports xmp and expo profiles, try using the latter, as that's what AMD offers for xmp.
Hey, sorry about last night! I drifted off before diving into the troubleshooting. Here’s the update: I reset the speed to 6000, and CPU-Z indicates this.
The video mentioned it, but according to the system info, it actually reverts to 4800. This is visible in both the memory section and the Task Manager.
