[SOLVED] Gigabyte B660M DS3H & Kingston HyperX Predator OC ?

[adarisbo]

Hello, everyone.

I have a Gigabyte B660M DS3H motherboard and two 8GB Kingston HyperX Predator RAM modules.

In my old motherboard I used to be able to get the RAM frequency up to 3500Mhz or so without any issues.

Ever since I got this new motherboard and a new processor, I can't get anywhere past 2400Mhz or the PC won't boot.

The motherboard manual says it can support up to 5333Mhz in OC. I know that's usually overstated and that it depends on the manufacturer and memory type, but 2400Mhz on a 4000Mhz memory sounds way too little.

When OC-ing, I just set the memory clock and leave all the rest on auto. I've also tried using both XMP and none of them worked.

Am I doing some wrong? Is there any way to fix this other than getting a better motherboard?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm using a i5-12400F processor.

Your memory is listed in the qvl listing, odd that you are having a problem. What happens if you use just one stick of ram can you change the speed?

Also when you set the xmp setting do you have an option down the bios menu to set the dram frequency as well?

Thanks a lot!

Changing the modules from slots 1 and 3 to 2 and 4 fixed it. They're running fine at XMP 1 (3500Mhz) now.

No idea why that happened though, and I'm embarrassed for not trying that earlier.
