Question MOBO does not support xmp help

[Disheveled_Human]

I just got a new rig, installed is 3600MT/s CL18 T-Force Vulcan Z 2x8gb Ram. The motherboard is a ASRock H610M-HVS the Bios is updated. I cannot figure out how to set ram speeds from default 2400mhz. Note the board is rated at a max of 3200mhz and does not support XMP since its a budget board. Can someone help me out? My issues are basically I need help manually setting the timings for 3600 CL18 rated ram to 3200mhz on this MOBO.

For the sake of relevance, what BIOS version are you currently on for your motherboard? Did you clear the CMOS after you've verified that the BIOS was successfully updated to the latest version?

in cpu-z it says its version 11.01 and im not sure I got a local store to build the PC.

see page 42 of board user manual how to check ram and ajust them you will need to acces bios .

I already played around in the bios, i am unsure on what timings I need to put to get it running at 3200mhz the timings for 3600mhz is CL18-22-22-42 or something like that

 

[scout_03]

in cpu-z use spd tab for jedec manual settings then compare with memory tab result to run them at 3200 also made sure it read the exact voltages of ram .you could post a picture of spd and memory tab here .

Here is a screenshot of my cpu-z spd tab. The only options are 2400mhz and the xmp profile shows for 3600mhz.

Write down the timing for 1798mhz

Go in to the Bios manually put in the timings

Select 3200 for ram speed or type 32 and enter if you have to type the multiplier number in

Then go to ram voltage and manually set that to 1.35v

Save and exit the Bios

 

[Deleted member 2947362]

you can skip putting the timings in and leave the setting to auto but be aware that the ram will probs be runnig at
CL20-22-22-22 or even looser timings for stability.

personally after reading your post again I would just leave the memory timing on auto unless you have experience with that board and memory timings and are prepared that you may have to resetting the bios a few times before you find the best timings and stability combo.

the manufacture posted speeds for 3200 clock at 16-20-20-40. What will happen if for what ever reason the computer does not like what I did an crashes or worse fails to post?

yea Bios reset

try those setting worse thing is having to reset the bios and set it up to how it was before then trying different timings, the ram should be ok at those setting as long as the motherboard can accept them

my processor is rated to except 3200mhz ram when the MOBO cant clock. It is an i7 12th gen 12700k

 

[Deleted member 2947362]

To be totally honest I haven't messed around with an Intel system in a long time but if your cpu and motherboard both support 3200 ram speed you shouldn't have any problems try with timing on auto first it will work then when your feeling a bit more confident change the timings

 

[Deleted member 2947362]

but make sure you manually set voltage and ram speed

 

[Deleted member 2947362]

oh yea your PC may turn off and on a couple of time and appear it's hanging but it's just setting up new config so dont be alarmed if it doesn't turn right away.

just give it amin to reconfigure.

MAKING SURE your system is unplugged from the mains electric if having to reset the Bios

(FFS sozz that's in advance just in case it all goes catastrophically wrong and burn ya house down or something)

I cannot find any option called xmp in the bios under OC tab the only thing I see is an option for gear 1 and gear 2.

There's a PDF User Manual which contains General information about the Motherboard and BIOS I haven't read it, but they may contain specific information on the BIOS settings.

The BIOS has an Advanced Mode for more and advanced system configurations

PDF Manual shows on Page 39

Shows the OC Tweaker Screen. The setting should be in DRAM Configuration where the PDF Manual says:

In the UEFI BIOS / OC Tweaker Screen, DRAM Configuration /

There is no Load XMP Profile tab anywhere. On the information screen there is an xmp profile read only with the timings listed for 3600mhz my issue is the board only goes to 3200mhz so how do I set the timings in manually and how do I make sure they are the correct timings so I don't mess up my computer. If I choose the Dram frequency there is auto and then a list of all possible frequencies up to 3200mhz. If I select 3200mhz and put everything auto (the voltage is already correctly defaulted to 1.35) will it work?

The BIOS version is supposed to be P1.30 if it has never been updated... P1.30 something if it has. Updating it may help you find the automatic XMP setting.

I checked to see if the bios is updated and it is, I think I am just gonna go buy a 32gb 2x16 kit of cl16 3200mhz ram and use the timings on that kit and manually enter them, I will save the 2x8 kit for if I ever get another MOBO then quad channel it. This h610m MOBO is complete crap when it comes to features. Especially since im using an i7 12700k 12th gen and a 3070ti.

That would be a definite solution to the problem... To bad ASRock is so evasive in giving accurate information on their products... they do give out a bit of general advice about such information being changed constantly and that it could apply or not to certain products, like it appears to be the case for your motherboard. Sorry for elevating your hopes based on misinformation.

 

[Disheveled_Human]

For What its worth I manually input the Ram 18-20-20-40 @3200 into my ram settings and it booted stable and is now running at 3200mhz in gear 1 which there was no XMP profile for.

 

[Chicano]

Great!... after all XMP is just a programmed overclock. And I'm not 100% convinced the motherboard is incapable of using the XMP, I checked the BIOS manual, and it says there's an Advanced Mode for the BIOS, pressing F6 which contains additional hardware configurations... have you found that hidden window?

Something else, older motherboards had a 3 pin setting for the BIOS jumper, and one was considered a Configuration Mode, and it showed an additional BIOS window with advanced setting. See if your motherboard has that capability... it may have been replaced with the Advanced Mode, but who knows(?).
