UEFI displays 1600mhz while Windows reports 1333Mhz
UEFI displays 1600mhz while Windows reports 1333Mhz
The components include an Air 740, Ga-990fx gaming, Fx-9590 (just don’t touch it), H115i, Crossfire - r9 Fury Nitro (two copies), HX1000i PSU, a 32gb Trident X 2133Mhz with four 8gb drives.
ECP01 is quite interesting.
The 960 pro 1tb is for operating system, while the 850 pro 1tb is intended for gaming (like Arma 3).
I use a 3TB HDD for memory paging and other tasks.
If you have any thoughts on what I should avoid based on these specs, please let me know—I’m fairly experienced, so don’t worry about my 9590. This is my first post here and my third build attempt.
For this project, I finally ventured into overclocking, though the CPU is already at a high frequency (I believe).
I understand the 9590 is an OC 8350; I came from an 8350 and it still works, plus I got it for 110 before Ryzen.
I’m aware my motherboard only supports up to 2000mhz overclocking.
I’m trying to lower my RAM speed to 1600mhz or even 1866 would be ideal! I’ve done extensive research, and aside from the fact that this RAM isn’t listed as compatible, I think it should work.
I went through many failure boot attempts and blue screens until I found a setting that showed 1600mhz in UEFI, but the Boot Manager displays 667mhz (thanks to CPU-Z). I attempted to reach 1866, but it failed again. Even when BIOS shows 1600, Windows reports 1333.
I can’t just increase or decrease my RAM multiplier because the system tends to crash right after POST. I have to tweak the BCLK and a bit of the multiplier to get things running smoothly.
I enabled XMP.
BCLK set to 211mhz
CPU set to underclock until I determine it should be around 4.2ghz with a Vcore of 1.35 (I tried 1.4).
RAM set to 1.6v with adjusted timings, but ended up reverting to default for further troubleshooting.
PLEASE HELP
Are you observing it in Task Manager? Since that might not display the true value, verify it in Hwinfo64, which will provide the accurate reading.
Current voltage levels suggest 1.5V is sufficient for 1600Mhz at CL9-9-9-24 or similar configurations. You might consider reducing the BCLK to 200, as the memory controller could struggle under that load.
Also keep in mind that running two DIMMs per channel somewhat restricts your overclocking potential.
By the way, this processor isn't powerful enough for those GPUs, so upgrading seems necessary.
