[SOLVED] G.skill ram on asrock b450m pro

[AnonAMoose]

Hi I just built my son a newish PC, I'm having a hard time with the xmp profile on the memory. Currently its running at 2133mhz. It is rated for 3200mhz. The problem I'm facing is I goofed when buying parts. Due to budget constraints and the games he wants to play I bought a Ryzen 3200G processor. Looking online the max memory frequency he can use is 2933mhz. I try to run the memory with xmp enabled and manually set the speed to 2933 but it keeps boot cycling.

Fun fact I myself have a Ryzen 7 2700X with a Rog strix b450-F motherboard, Gskill trident z DDR4-3200 and it works.... even tho it isn't supposed to according to the wiki https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_7/2700x never had any problems, stable as a rock.

What should I do? no mater what I can't set the computer to xmp without it boot cycling till it defaults to safe mode. Should I set the speed to 2933 and forget trying to get xmp, should I just buy different memory? thanks for any help.

Have you tried your ram in his and vice versa?

What's the sku of the ram intended for your son's machine? Tzr (Intel) or Tzrx(Amd)?

Ram speed regarding memory controller is what the cpu is spec'd at, the motherboard can allow faster ram if it's stated as capable.

See video on maybe using Thaiphoon burner and dram calculator to come up with bios settings to try.

3200MHz RAM are OC RAM and there may be no XMP profile as 3200MHz is beyond JDEC standards.
Generally with Manual Bios input you can achieve 3200MHz OC however no guarantee.

Disable XMP and configure Bios DRAM Timing and voltage manually in Bios.
The boot cycling you refer to is Bios trying to set SPD values to safely run your RAM and it can't. Sometimes it will say the OC failed and other times it just shuts the system down or stops during Post cycle.

A Bios and chipset update is best to address RAM compatibility and system stability. (Recommended)

No I haven't tried my ram in his pc, don't plan on touching my pc atm. For his machine i bought the gskill ripjaws V F4-3200c16D-16GVKB
I'll try the dram calculator and thaiphoon burner tomorrow and see if I can futz with the speed again and just manually configure the timing and voltage.
Thanks guys.
