Long story short , i was told in a forum post that my cpu (Ryzen7 1800X) was possibly bottle-necking because i had single-channel 2400mhz RAM . Recently i have upgraded to dual channel and have 2x 8Gb DDr4 sticks that i got as a gift from a friend . on the box it says "pc4-24000 3000mhz" and the guy in the forum post said my Cpu would be better suited with ~3000mhz and up .
My motherboard supports my My exact RAM BUT at the very bottom of the memory support list it says "When running XMP at DDr4 2933MHz or higher, the system's stability depends on the CPU's capabilities" I originally had my RAM going at 3000Mhz with a XMP prifile in my bios and it was causing the system to freeze up and constantly crash(it took me forever to figure out it was the ram speed cause my friend is the one who originally set everything up) .
So for now i just have the XMP profile disabled and the system has stopped freezing and crashing . but now My RAM speed is down to 2133 MHz .
So my question now is : Should i be trying to get my RAM speed as close as i can to 3000MHz as i possibly can without going above 2932Mhz ?
Also, if i should be Trying to get it closer to 3000MHz ... what would be the best way to go about doing that ? or is XMP my only option ?
I just dont want my RAM to bottleneck my CPU if that's what it'll do .
