But the RAM still show up as 2133 even if he reinstalls Windows with XMP active. Is this normal behavior?

I am trying to help a colleague set up his Corsair 16GB CL16 3200 RAM. I activated the XMP profile in BIOS, but Task Manager still sees the RAM as only 2133. I also tried to manually set up the 3200 frequency, 1.35V and appropriate timings, but no success. In fact, his BIOS (Asus B560M-A)...

I'm looking to buy a Samsung 980 PRO SSD which is PCIe 4. I'd pair it with a Ryzen 5600G CPU because I want integrated graphics (not a gaming build). They'd go on an AM4 MOBO, but the thing is that the CPU is only PCIe 3. My question is: will the PCIe 3 CPU "force" the PCIe 4 SSD to also...

All right, thanks for the input. I checked AMD's website and I actually see storage drivers on their platform too. Should I install one of those? https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x570

Hey guys, I built a new PC and did a clean Windows 10 install. It was going well, until I reached the part about installing drivers. Now, I installed a few from the MOBO manufacture site (an x570 Gigabyte in this case) at once, then did a restart for them to install fully. At first, it was...

Oooh that makes sense! Thanks both of you for your help =)

So with CPUID it's..."interesting", because in the memory tab, it says that the channel is dual. However, when I check the SPD tab, slots #1 and #3 are in dual ranks, but for slot #2 and #4 it says single rank. This is the same for Aida 64, which says slots #1 and #3 in dual ranks, but #2 and...

And one more question actually Turtle Rig. I've accessed my actual BIOS, and this is what it's saying for the RAM. Makes me think that they actually ARE working in dual channel, and that maybe just CPU-Z, for some reason, is detecting B2 and A2 working in single channel. It's saying dual...

A friend also mentioned it might be worth a try to take out the new RAM from slots 2-4 and try to put them in 1-3. Basically switch them with the old RAM, because slots 1-3 are the "default" slots for MOBOs and that why they could then register as dual channel. Is this something worth trying? I...

Hello Turtle Rig, thank you for your help! I have checked and indeed I do not have the latest BIOS version. Mine is 1.10, while the latest, 2.40 (still from 2018 though) says it has some memory compatibility improvements. Should I just load the files on a normal, formatted USB 2 stick and then...

Hey guys! Got 2 x 8GB new RAM sticks (I have a total of 32 GB now). Firstly, PC wasn't booting up, just a beep and restart loop. I re-seated the RAM and now it works, but the PC somehow seems slower. I checked CPU-Z and the new RAM are recognized as single channel, even though old RAM are...
