[SOLVED] RAM not running at full speed

[joexsimpsonx]

Good afternoon, I need help to put my RAM at its factory frequency which is ~ 3000Mhz. A day ago I updated my PC to Ryzen 5 2600 but I noticed that the frequency of the ram was 2666Mhz, I opened the BIOS to activate the XMP profile and used the "Profile 1" to get 3000Mhz. In Windows it tells me that I have only 2666Mhz although in the BIOS I have already saved with the 3000. The BIOS version comes with the latest one and still the full frequency does not appear. I tried to see if I could manually modify the latency values ​​but it just did not allow me to modify anything. Everything remains in automatic and only lets me modify the XMP profile. What could I do to solve this?

PD: my RAM is in the QVL list.


My MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M
My Ram: AX4U300038G16-DBG

Is there an additional profile? Does the sticker match the box?

There is only "Profile 1" available, and yes Thats the sticker of my RAM they are two sticks of 8GB at 3000Mhz

BIOS values should be correct.
To be absolutely certain though, download and run MEMTEST86 and write down the bandwidth in MBps (MegaBytes per Second).

At CL14 you'd be roughly 44,000MBps (verify I'm correct) so I'd guess you should be closer to 40,000MBps at CL16 or so.

Other factors like newer CPU etc should change these a bit but I'd expect to be near that number.

*My dad's PC reported correct in BIOS and Windows until I added a 2nd kit of same memory (but made a year later). Windows reported incorrectly but BIOS stayed the same and MEMTEST86 bandwidth confirmed it was the BIOS settings that were correct.

You Say that maybe intoxicación Windows It Will give me a different value? Memtest would tell me the correcto frecuency value?

Do You know the different between "Profile 1" and setting It up manual?

I forget if MEMTEST86 shows the frequency, but it should show the bandwidth which is how much data can be transferred per second. That SHOULD match up roughly to what I said.

Any PROFILE you set if it's saved should simply be applied properly or else give you an ERROR when you try to save it but if the BIOS says you are running that 3000MHz profile I'm quite certain you are.

MANUALLY just adjust frequency, CAS and other timings to what YOU specific but the "PROFILE" is the optimal setup for that memory based on the MANUFACTURER suggestions (sometimes you can manually improve on them).

Long story short I'm pretty sure it's fine.

Windows can report incorrectly. I'm 99.99% sure that for system memory the BIOS is always accurate and runs what it says it runs.

I Will try to set Up manually and ser if It goes or not

If you do MANUAL the run MEMTEST86 before that and record the bandwidth (MBps) so you can compare. The higher the MBps value the better.

Even if the number changes in Windows you should go back and rerun MEMTEST86 to see if it changed because you might say 3000MHz now but be slightly LOWER if the timings are loosened (like CL15 goes up to CL16 with manual settings).

Let us know what happens but again I trust the BIOS settings are accurate and that Windows is not reporting correctly.

I tried to set up manually with the rams latencies (16-18-18), 1.35v and set up to 2933MHZ and it worked!

Should i increase the frequency to 3000 or i just have to keep this frequency?
