Question Ugh memory performing poorly on benchmark test. 3 year old system. BIOS guidance?

[garynyc]

Hi all;

Here are my User Benchmark results. I know I have 2 old HD drives that are underperforming but my memory has some poor performance. I think it may be tied to XMP settings? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated thanks..

DOCP enabled?

 

[garynyc]

I tried DOCP but it tested worse. I'm dealing w covid booster reaction but I'll post more info tomorrow thank you both.

Does this pic of my BIOS help...

ram not running at 3600

 

[garynyc]

How can I fix that?

 

[rgd1101]

turn xmp or docp on in bios

 

[garynyc]

I will attempt this and repost results later thanks!

Verify, through the user's manual, that you have the RAM in the proper slots for dual channel memory.

 

[garynyc]

Thank you kane. I just saw this info in a forum as well. I def didn't have them placed in the Mobo correctly to get dual channel. I just ordered another 32gb of RAM on Amazon as I have inadequacy issues. Will post as soon as they come in and have them installed and tested.

 

[garynyc]

My new identical memory reads fine so I'm at 64gb now. I have tried enabling dual channel/ XMP with 32gb and 64 gb now and it keeps going into a reboot loop. I just researched the issue and it points to certain Asrock 570 Taichi mobos and memory configurations. Many folks seem to have had success in manually adjusting voltages and other settings for XMP to work, but I've never tweaked the BIOS like that before. Do you advise trying this? I'm worried I may fry something.

Thank you

Mixing memory often produces undesired results. Is that what you have done now?

 

[garynyc]

Ughhh....um...same brand, same specs but about 3-4 years apart. TBH XMP settings, like selecting the only profile never worked, even w the original 16gb configuration.

Then that is mixed memory and they don't match.

What are the makes/models of both sets of memory you are trying to use?

In addition, the test you relying on is not exactly an accurate measure of performance. At best, it is an indicator.

In real life use, are you having any noticeable performance issues?

You probably won't be able to run ram at 3600mhz with 4 modules.
You'll have to reduce ram frequency.

The old RAM that was in the system: https://ram.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/935313/GSKILL-F4-3600C16-16GVKC-2x16GB

And the new RAM that I just added:

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series (Intel XMP) DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MT/s CL16-19-19-39 1.35V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC)​

I don't know if this combo will play together nicely. What do you think?

You won't know, until you have tried it.

Why exactly do you need 64GB of ram? No game can use that much.

Go back to just the orig 2 sticks of ram fitted in the proper slots.
Enable xmp.
Run ubm and post a link to the results.

 

[garynyc]

Bob the original results are up the thread--just enabling XMP with the original configuration results in an endless bootup...

Just starting to do more 4K video editing and it was suggested to me that this may help...would like to see XMP working too.
