xmp only gets to 3466
I'm having trouble getting my XMP to function properly. I can only reach 3466mhz when all four slots are used, but I manage to hit 3600mhz with just three slots filled (a1a2b2). However, when all four slots are active, I'm limited to 3466mhz. Anyone know why this happens?
Asrock likely employs a daisy-chain arrangement to link the DIMM connectors on the motherboard. This setup enhances two-DIMM performance during overclocking, though it may restrict full potential when all four sockets are active. A point-to-point configuration would be more suitable for configurations with multiple DIMMs.
With four sticks, the memory controller faces increased pressure. Reaching 3600MHz might become difficult. A 2x16GB RAM kit would handle it without trouble.
Asrock likely employs a daisy-chain topology for linking the DIMM sockets within the motherboard design. This approach enhances two-DIMM performance, especially during overclocking, though it may restrict maximum overclocking when all four sockets are active. A point-to-point setup would be preferable for four DIMM arrays with full utilization, but it offers reduced overclocking capability when only two sockets are engaged. This method is typically chosen on high-end boards where users accept the cost for increased memory capacity.
