Question G.Skill TridentZ Memory not able to run at 3200 or 2933Mhz.

[Thomaszz]

PC SPECS
GPU: GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR
MOBO: MSI X470 Gaming Plus

Tried to set the memory values myself, didn't work. Tried to both the XMP profiles, didn't work. BIOS is the most recent version and I also tried resetting my BIOS settings to factory settings and then applying the XMP profile, still no luck. Need help.....

Yes.

Yes.

Like specifically the correct part number in the supported list?

Yeah

That’s the RAM I’d check the board. Cos that’s just staying the kit will work it’s not saying what speed it will run at.

Well since it is compatible it should run at it's advertised speed.

 

[LordVile]

Well since it is compatible it should run at it's advertised speed.

RAM is only guaranteed to run at its base speed.

 

[Thomaszz]

RAM is only guaranteed to run at its base speed.

Isn't the base speed 3200 tho?

 

[LordVile]

Isn't the base speed 3200 tho?

No the base speed of DDR4 is 2133

 

[Thomaszz]

No the base speed of DDR4 is 2133

Yeah just saw that. But there is no reason as to why it shouldn't work at 2933 or 3200Mhz. The memory kit is compatible with my motherboard, it is XMP 2.0 ready so...

No the base speed of DDR4 is 2133

Did I pick the wrong RAM kit? Since there is a kit called GTZRX instead of GTZR and that one is supposed to be for AMD. https://www.gskill.com/product/165/167/1536718509/F4-3200C16D-16GTZRX-Overview

So you reckon I should get a refund on this one and buy a different pair?

worth a shot.

 

[Thomaszz]

worth a shot.

Idk what pair to buy tho. You got any recommendations?

 

[Thomaszz]

The reason why I bought this pair is because of this site recommending them https://turbofuture.com/computers/best-RAM-AMD-Ryzen-5-7-CPU

 

[Thomaszz]

There are many sites recommending that kit, So idk if I just bought the wrong kit or something else is fucked up.

the supported list is different for every board, best thing is to get the list and look for the part code
