[SOLVED] Benchmark Test and Upgrades

[Pwigz]

So i ran a benchmark test and i'm curious as to what i need to do or buy to get my memory up, after doing some research ive read that ryzen doesnt normally go past 3000 MHz so would my best option just be to buy 2 sticks of 32gb of ram with 3000 MHZ? I also plan on upgrading my current Ryzen 1700 to a Ryzen 2700x within the next few weeks. My current motherboard is Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6 GB/s ATX AMD Motherboard. Also another thing i'm very confused about and posted in later forums on this site is when i installed my RAM it only shows 32gb in A1 and A2 slot and when i follow the manual which says place in A1 and B2 it only shows 16gb would that be because i have a ryzen 1700 by any chance? My current ram is messed up a bit if it is true tha ryzen only goes up to 3000 MHz with ryzen because i bought 32gb 3466 MHz. which will be posted in the link below which is my benchmark test. Also it says my GPU is lower than average? any idea why that is too?

Whoever told you Ryzen only goes up to 3000 forgot to tell you that it depends on which ryzen you have.

In your case with the CPU you have I would not buy anything over 3000MHz.

If you buy a 2700x then you can go up to 3200/3600 if you want. I built a friend's system weeks ago with 3600MHz RAM and a Ryzen 2600.

By the way your RAM is running at 2133MHz. Did you enable the XMP/DOCP profile in the bios? That's why you have a low score on your RAM right now.

ok and no i didnt and i can do that asap, but im curious as to why the 32gb only works in the A1 and A2 slot when the manual says A1 and B2 for 2 sticks of ram? any idea why? and would 3000 be ok with a 1700?

If you look carefully at your manual it does not say to put your 2 sticks on A1 and A2.

You need to put your RAM in the A2-B2 slots. Not A1-B2.

You might have problems with trying to run 3000MHz RAm with a 1700. Try 2933MHz if 3000 doesn't stick.

3000mhz sticked!
