Failed memory 2400MHZ DDR4 overclock on ASus Prime B350 Plus

[lepadatumaziluvlad]

Hello , i have recently upgraded my Pc and bought a Asus B350 Prime Plus motherboard , paired with a ryzen 5 1500x 3.5 Ghz and one DDR4 2400MHz 8GB CL16 RAM , Kyngston 120 GB SSD for windows 10 64bit , and a GTX 1050 TI OC 4GB 128 bit from Gygabite , and i wanted to get my Ryzen 5 1500x to 4.0 GHZ and i managed to do that and it is stable at just below 1.3v , now the problem i encountered is when i tried to OC my RAM . The specs for my 8Gb ram sais it can go up to at least 3.2MHZ and 1.35v , but i could not get it even to 2666MHZ , every single modification that i make in ram results in my pc trying to start 3 times ...the 3rd time manages to start but promts me saying that i have to press F1 to make changes to my bios to make it stable. I've tried a bunch of latencies in Dram Timing but with no luck. I Upgaded my bios to latest version ! So i would really like some advice on how to make my RAM oc stable ...at least make it boot in windows so i can try some Memory stress test ...

What makes you think that 2400 MHz RAM will run at 3200 MHz on that platform? It definitely isn't using the best Samsung chips; otherwise it would be rated much higher.

The motherboard supports this memory frequencies 2400 2133 3200(O.C.) 2933(O.C.) 2666 , and the Memory can go up to 3200 and 1.35v , so why do you say it cant go past 2400 on my system ?

I'm not saying it can't; what kit did get that's certified to run at 3200 MHz on that motherboard?

ADATA XPG Gammix D10 Red 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16

Ram rated at 2400 Mhz cannot be over clocked at 3200, what would make anyone purchase 3200 Mhz ram ?
yes your motherboard can overclock ram up to 3200, but you need 3200 capable ram to perform the overclock,
not get 2400 ram and expect it to OC to 3200.

The GAMMIX D10 supports the new Intel X299 platform and implements the SPD 2666MHz. The working voltage is 1.2V vs. 1.5V on DDR3, which is a 20% reduction in power consumption. This keeps the systems more reliable, more stable and more energy-efficient. The GAMMIX D10 climbs up to 1.35V, necessary to achieve 3000MHz factory frequencies, with greater potential for overclocking.

It specifically refers to the X299 platform and they don't guarantee that they can reach that frequency (FAQ questions 2 and 3). While it may be able to reach higher frequencies on the Intel X299 platform, you have an AMD B350 platform. AX4U2666W8G16 (various extensions) are the fastest modules suggested by ADATA for your motherboard, but they still don't guarantee that they will work at frequencies or timing that exceed the SPD.

So there isn't any teak or modification that I can make on ram overclock?

Not really; you bought 2400 MHz RAM that works fine at the rated frequency; therefore there's nothing wrong with it. If you want faster RAM, then return the ADATA module and buy a module certified to work on your B350 motherboard at the frequency that you want.
