[SOLVED] AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with a quad channel set of RAM

[MrHeatSeeker]

Hey,

I have a AMD Ryzen 5 2600, a ASUS Prime B450M-A and just bought a new quad channel set of RAM.

Team T-Force Vulcan TLGD432G3000HC16CQC01 (4x8GB), 3000MHz DDR4, CL16-18-18-38, 1.35V

The RAM is fine if I leave it at 2400MHz but if I activate D.C.O.P. to get it to 3000MHz and I've tried 2933MHz also, my PC tries to boot a few times and then boots in safe mode and I have to set it down to 2400MHz.

Apparently my CPU doesn't like quad channel RAM sets.

Any fix/help for this issue?

Thanks

Well, Ryzen doesn't support quad-channel ram. You can use 4 stick, but it only operates in dual channel.

I would try locking dram voltage at 1.4v and turn docp on.

The RAM should be fine. It will just work like two pairs of dual channel memory. No worries.

Memory will not always run at the rated speed in all systems. Just something to be aware of.

Try adjusting SOC voltage manually. Sometimes lower is better sometimes higher is better. Stay below 1.2 volts. Do you know how to reset your CMOS just in case? I would also run memtest86 if you can get it to post at rated speed consistently.

EDIT: If you aren't on the newest Bios you should update it and try XMP again before trying the above.

I'm on the latest BIOS version and tried DCOP at 2933MHz and 3000MHz.

Check the QVL on the Vulcan page of the Team T-Force site.
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that the max speed they list when using 4 sticks of RAM on any Asus B450 board is 2400 MHz.
But as stated above you could spend the time needed to manually OC it which may or may not allow you to get it to run at a higher speed.

4 sticks are always harder to run. You tend to loose 200-400 Mhz compared to just running 2 sticks.
It's down to the motherboard and its memory traces.

You will also need this to get your RAM specifications if you use the Ryzen DRAM Calculator linked to by rigg42:
