RAM won't run full speed (running 2133mhz, should be 3200mhz)

[riddickmr]

I have the asus TUF 350-m gaming and g-skill 3200mhz RAM. My RAM is only running at 2133mhz. When I go into the BIOS and activate the DCOP profile, I get a BSOD on boot. That profile appears to be configured for RAM this speed.

Any help is appreciated.

Ask a question one time, in one section of the forum, please. Use tags to expand the topic as needed. Thank you.

 

[riddickmr]

sorry about that, thanks.

Have you tried selecting a lower speed than the rated 3200 to see if it works, like 2400?

 

[riddickmr]

It works fine at slower speeds. Maybe I'm not giving it enough power? All I know is that any overclocking of the RAM is causing BSOD.

 

[COLGeek]

The default speed for DDR4 is 2133. Anything beyond that is technically overclocking. At what speeds, beyond 2133, have you tried and gotten to work successfully?

Also, just because your memory may be rated at 3200, it may not actually achieve that speed in your system. Another factor to consider is that Ryzens can be VERY picky when it comes to memory. What exact model is your memory?

 

[riddickmr]

G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit

 

[COLGeek]

What is the exact model from the label on the memory itself? You can also get the info from the app CPU-Z.

Specifics matter. From what you provided earlier, that memory is "optimized" for Intel chipsets. If that is the case, you are likely not going to get to run at 3200.

As of now, that RAM won't run at 3200MHz on that AMD motherboard. That RAM is optimized for Intel platform.
There isn't any G-SKILL RAM listed higher than 2400MHz on the Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for that motherboard.
The highest rated RAM on G-SKILL website for that motherboard is 3000MHz.
You might be able to manually set it to run at 3000MHz stable.

 

[riddickmr]

Can you send me the model of RAM that can run at a higher speed. Does not need to be G-skill. Ideally sold at microcenter.

Are you using a 1st or 2nd gen CPU?

I am running F4-3200C16-8GVKB with Ryzen 5 2600x. My bios are current.

I see this on the QVL, his is my exact RAM but I have...?

Attached the model in thread.

https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-8gvkb memory is really optimized for Intel chipsets.

These G.Skill models would work better:

The G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVKB is listed on the QVL for 1st gen Ryzen CPUs

If you look at the Memory QVL for Ryzen 2000 Series CPU, the G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVKB is not listed.
If you want to keep the G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVKB, I suggest you try running it at 2933-3000MHz
By the way, you won't see a difference between 3000MHz and 3200MHz.
