Your RAM isn't operating at full capacity.
Hello guys, I bought this RAM Kingston Fury Beast 3733MHz DDR4 16GB for my system but for some reason i cannot make it run faster than 3200mhz. Tried XMP profiles, both 3733mhz and 3600mhz one, but without success, ram just reverts to 2400mhz. Also tried setting it manually in the bios, but it didn't worked (worked only up until 3200mhz). With the EasyTune app from gigabyte app center i managed to get it to 3460mhz but i would get Status Access Violation crash on my browser pages. Motherboard in my rig is B550M Aorus Elite, and the cpu is Ryzen 5 3600. And btw this is a single stick of RAM.
I attempted to raise the voltage but had no success. After applying it, the PC starts up and then restarts 2-3 times before booting normally at 2400MHz. Additionally, I couldn’t find the VCCIO or VCCSA settings.
They are Intel-specific configurations only, absent from AMD platforms. The sole memory controller voltage found on Ryzen 3000 models is the SOC voltage. Typically, you should configure it at 1.15V and maintain that setting, as it optimizes around 1.1V to 1.2V. For CPU stability, avoid exceeding 1.2V in that range. Regarding RAM placement, it should be installed in slot 2 on daisy-chain AM4 boards; using slot 1 or 3 may lead to booting delays surpassing 3200MT/s. Slot 4 is functional but generally less optimal than slot 2.
It might seem unnecessary but have you changed your BIOS after installing the new RAM? Although the Kingston Fury RAM is relatively recent, the kits may function without a DOCP Profile (AMD) or XMP (Intel). Updating the BIOS to the newest version ensures compatibility with all available RAM modules. I faced this issue about six months ago; a client upgraded his RAM and the DOCP Profile failed. I advised him to update the BIOS, and it resolved the problem effectively.
