I've manually increased my CPU and RAM speeds using the base clock, not the memory multiplier. Even with correctly set timings and voltage, nothing changes. If I set 16X for the memory timer, it works and boots Windows, but the FSB stays the same.
RAM ratio remains unchanged, keeping the same frequency. In BIOS, it still shows 16X, even when lowering the frequency below 10X.
I'm struggling because I've researched extensively and haven't found any solutions or discussions about this issue. I'm frustrated since I'm new to overclocking and might be missing something obvious.
If you need more details, feel free to ask.
I managed to resolve my issue. I realized my maximum memory multiplier is 10 (maybe I'm a simple person), but I wish there was more clear information about RAM and its details. It's been a constant struggle to find what I needed, especially after extensive research. Intel usually states that the RAM speed limit is 1333, but this isn't accurate when using base clock overclocking. Sorry if it seems like I'm being silly for bringing this up—I've just found it really frustrating to locate the right details. Thanks to Zerk2012 for your assistance.
Your motherboard doesn't accommodate 2400 memory slots, and the processor's base memory speed is set at 1333. You'll have to manually increase the memory speed to achieve the desired performance.
I know the starting memory speed is 1333, but the actual speed depends on BCLK and Multiplier. In the BIOS you can adjust the multiplier freely, but it doesn’t alter the RAM frequency, won’t cause crashes, and doesn’t revert to the default 10X setting. Right now I’m using a base clock of 195 with a multiplier of 10, which results in 1950 MHz for RAM and 3.9 GHz for CPU with a multiplier of 20. I see if these settings are allowed, but what’s confusing is that I can apply them without them resetting or causing errors.
