Corsair (Vengeance LPX) RAM compatible with Ryzen 5 ?

[Tom Hell]

Hello,
My 8Gb (2x4Gb) DDR4 -3000mHz (Corsair Vengeance LPX*) Ram has just arrived. It is going into a build along with a 1600 Ryzen 5 CPU + RX480 8Gb GPU.
However I noticed than on the Box for the RAM it is written "Intel Core Inside Support". Does this mean that this Ram is not optimal for Ryzen CPUs ? I thought Ram was just Ram, and that only Speed and Capacity mattered ?

That means nothing, however I'd highly recommend returning it if possible and getting 3000/3200 ram it makes a giant difference with ryzen

Thank you for reassuring me.
The Ram I have bought is actually 3000MHz C15, as I was told many times that fast Ram is important for Ryzen CPUs, and I couldn't find 3200MHz memory for a good price.

Whoops I had a brain fart there.

I use the same RAM , it can works but it just running at 2133mhz

What motherboard are you using? I have the Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming-3 and am also having trouble clocking it to 2993MHz

I am using Asus Prime B350M-A

I am using Asus Prime B350M-A

I have discovered that if I set my Memory to X.M.P it automatically goes to 2933MHz. However, I can't save these changes or my PC crashes.
If I set the Memory to X.M.P but manually scale the speed down to 2666MHz then my PC runs fine and the changes are saved no problem.

I think that the only thing I can hope for now is that Gigabyte come up with more updates for their motherboards. You should also try contacting ASUS to see if they can fix the problem ( Gigabyte couldn't do anything for me ).

I won't be tweaking around with my Memory Timings and Voltage in the BIOS, as I am not experienced in the matter. But I have heard that it has solved the problem for some people.

What i do is waiting for new BIOS update.

Yes, but you should try setting the speed to 2666MHz, it's always better than 2133.

i tried set it to 2666 and i cannot boot after that, so i try 2400 , it failed too. I have to disable XMP until there is new update

hi guys, is there a BIOS fix for this now? plan on either Asus Prime B350M-A or Gigabyte B350M-Gaming-3.

which one can run at 2666mhz now?

Hello,

My Gigabyte B350M-Gaming-3 works fine since the f5b BIOS update. It runs my 3000MHz Memory at 2993MHz no problem.
The first and second BIOS versions were bad because they kind of rushed their motherboards to support the new Ryzen platform. But everything is fine this late into the year.

i hv the same mobo. i set it to 2666mhz volt 1.37. try it

XMP is an intel feature, DON'T use it on an ryzen setup, you have to either use a-xmp if it is implemented, and if not, you have to do it manually. Set the frequency and the voltage:
First set the voltage to 1.35/1.37 and then run a ram stress test for example the one implemented in CPU-Z (free soft). Let it run for 30 minutes or 1 hour. If all is fine, then start upping the frequency one step after another - 2400 stress test -> 2666 stress test - 2933 stress test
It should work.

Use this list to know which ram are working 100% - I can advice the flareX for sure

Did the RAM work in your build? I'm planning a build with a Ryzen 5 1400 with the same RAM.
