Question Memory not running at advertised speeds.

[randomdudelol323]

I have this ram. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Veng...t=&hvlocphy=9027285&hvtargid=pla-798106136542


It is a 3200mhz DDR4 ram.

My motherboard is the ASUS TUF b450-pro gaming. (Latest BIOS installed.)

My CPU is the R5 3600.

The ram is running at 2133 mhz or lower and won't go any higher.

It shows 2133mhz in BIOS as well.

I tried to go into BIOS and change it manually. Turned the Overclock mode to DOCP. Went back into windows and the PC did not post. Lowered the speed down to 3000mhz, Windows did not boot. Am I not clocking it correctly?

If the system does not post with DOCP/XMP. You will have to set everything manually in advance memory menu, this can be a bit tricky if you have never done it before. Ram timings should be listed on your box or on the side of the ram sticks. Make sure to also set the voltage manually to 1.35 because I bet its trying to run it at 1.2

Alright. Ill try that. I was also wondering if my CPU could be an issue, I am going to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600x soon, would that help?

I don't think the cpu has anything to do with this ram not working. 3600 will have no issues with a ddr4 3200 kit.

Your using DIMM a2 and b2 right? so 2nd and last slot?

No. I have A1, B1. Do i need to set it up as A2 B2?

2x sticks needs to be in a2 and b2. Possible this is your whole issues on why docp didn't work.

If you run out of things to try test each stick alone fitted in the proper slot.

See if docp works with just one stick.
