Hi all,
I recently built a new PC and I have two main questions.
1) I'm unsure as to what frequency, voltage, timings, or DOCP setting I should use for my RAM. I'm new with computers; this is my first time building a PC and bios settings are intimidating.
2) How can I stress test my components to ensure that I have no faulty components that should be returned?
I've downloaded all the drivers (as far as I know) for my components and installed all latest windows 10 updates, so I think all that's left is fixing up the ram settings and stress testing.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
Corsair 2x8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming motherboard Bios Version 3803.
GTX 1060 6 GB
Win 10 64 bit
When I first installed my ram, I had speeds of 2133 MHz and my buddy was telling me to set the frequency to 3000 MHZ, and voltage to 1.35V. However, in my mobo's manual, I see that the supported frequencies are 2933(O.C.) or 3200(O.C.), not 3000 MHz.
There is also a profile under D.O.C.P listed as Profile #1, which sets the ram frequency to 3000 MHz, Voltage to 1.35V and the timings to whatever the timings should be for the ram. If I understood correctly, basically this profile is my motherboard's reading of what my ram specifications are.
I'm unsure what to do. Should I just turn on the D.O.C.P. Profile and use that? Should I manually change settings? And how can I stress test my components after this?
EDIT: I have tried the D.O.C.P. profile 1, and it ended up changing my timings to C16 instead of C15, voltage to 1.4V, and gave me absolutely horrendous performance in games. I think for now I'm just going to leave everything on Auto, seeing as my games are running fine the way they are (90-120 FPS on PUBG, 200+ on CSGO, etc)
Thank you for your time
