Unholy motherboard and holy ram (selective RAM)
Unholy motherboard and holy ram (selective RAM)
Have an old b450m k (not 2). With r5 2600 with rx 570. Issue is about ram. Have 2 sticks. Each 8gb. One crucial ram other one corsair. Corsair is 3200 mhz. Crucial is 3000mhz. I bought corsair one later on. It worked for a while but now BSOD random. Sometimes doesnt even turn on. All bsod about ram. I put crucial in any of slot it works fine alone. I put corsair one on any slot it crashes pc. So you might think "just a bad stick" but no stick works totally fine on other motboard. So maybe compability issue ? I guess not Cuz i tried more than 5 rams. All diffrent brand mhz capacity etc. still crashes no matter what slot in.(yes i try without crucial ram on it) But i know these rams are fine cuz first most of em brand new second i tested them on other computers. Bios is up to date and tried diffrent psu. I am bout to lose my sanity. Any idea ?
Are the chips operating at 3000 or 3200 MHz? The memory controller in 2000 series devices isn't reliable, so for those frequencies consider using 2666 or lower.
This method leads to instability. You need to adjust the clock speeds yourself. Review SPD documentation for both components. Configure RAM to match the best timings available (primary only). Adjust DRAM speed to 3000MHz or consider 3200MHz. Use the provided timings and DRAM voltage from Corsair. Disable DOCP. As mentioned, even 3200MHz could be challenging. I once used a 2700MHz setup and had to manually configure RAM, even though it was a compatible pair.
purchase another important or small stick, the bin doesn't matter because it'll likely be the same IC—whether it's 8Gb rev B or E (the latter is better)—this should resolve your problems since both are now micron-based and they'll probably run at XMP as well, especially if it's the same RAM module. I'll send you a photo of both the crucial and Corsair stick to help identify the model, then I'll check for a replacement or see if I can fix it myself, though I doubt it given the Corsair stick already crashes by default.
