Question I tried to overclock the RAM but it gives me slower startup ?

[menteinstabile]

I tried to overclock the ram but it gives me slower start, why? how to fix?
I pushed it from 4800 to 5800 and when it starts there is a 20 sec of red light inside my pc and then it starts normally. Of course I turned the number back to normal.
any advices? Something else I can Improve after seeing my PC specs?

Cheers

My PC:
Windows 11 pro 64-bit
AMD Ryzen 5 7600x
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
Kingston FURY Beast 32GB 6000MT/s DDR5
Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Just use EXPO or XMP , whatever that RAM supports and set for 6000MHz. At 5800MHZ you are actually downclocking it. If you force it manually like that it has to do "Memory training" at every boot. Also make sure you have newest BIOS version,

I wish I could understand something of what you are saying, I'm quite new in the PC world. Maybe I should make more research.

Overclocking RAM can cause instability, leading to slower boot times due to improper voltage or timings. Fix this by adjusting RAM voltage, reducing frequency, or resetting to default settings

Check manual for your MB, in BIOS you will find settings for either XMP (Extreme Memory Profile ) or EXPO (AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking), they are built into RAM's control chip which tells BIOS how to set up for nest results. Your memory has EXPO. Set it to 6000MHZ and that's it,

I can adjust the ram voltage? wow. idk how

I tried both XMP and EXPO. I selected profile 1, 6000 mhz, ( there are only two options , profile 2 is 5700mhz i think) I restarted the PC multiple times and there is always a scary super slow start.

Are RAMs in right slots?

Are RAMs in right slots?

there are 4 slots and my 2 rams are in the second and fourth slots. ( I made this first pc a month ago and I tried to insert the ram 4 times and the pc was not turning on, for some reasons a technician put the ram again in this position and it worked. I don't know where was the magic because I was pushing the ram and made it click, I am a bit scared to move the ram again) will it change something if I move it? (I'm counting the ram from the left to the right, from the CPU to outside.)

Look in the manual for that MB RAM should be in A2 and B2 slots which are not necessarily i same order.

O yeah the manual video shows to put it in the a2 and b2, that's why it wasn't working in the past. however it's all good, except for the fact that the overclocking is still not fully working due to the 20 sec waiting time at the launch and I still don't know why

Are they in A2 and B2?
