Specs:
RAM: 2x 8gb G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series @ 3200 DDR4 ; 2x 8gb G.SKILL Aegis @3200 DDR4 Totaling 32gb (Yes, I know, overkill [and yes, I know, I mixed RAM]) Both have same Timings and Latency: Timing 16-18-18-38 CAS Latency 16
EDIT: For added clarity, I have TridentZ in DIMMB2 and DIMMA2 and Aegis in DIMMB1 and DIMMA1
MOBO: MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x at factory clock
PSU: Corsair CX750 750W
GPU: RTX 2070 Super
Storage: 2x M.2 Nvme 500gb
Cooling: AIO Coolermaster
Other: Pcie Wifi Card
When I try to boot my bios into the 3200 XMP Profile, it either won't post or isn't stable. I tried upping the RAM voltage to 1.4, which got it to post, but wasn't stable. Also tried upping the CPU SOC voltage to 1.00, which also showed no improvement. From what I've researched:
Ryzen 5 2600x
Max Type DDR4-2933
Supports ECC Yes
Max Mem 64 GiB
Controllers 2
Channels 2
Max Bandwidth 43.71 GiB/s
Bandwidth Single 21.86 GiB/sDouble 43.71 GiB/s
Memory Configurations
Single Rank
2 of 2 DDR4-2933*
2 of 4 DDR4-2933*
4 of 4 DDR4-2133
Double Rank
2 of 2 DDR4-2667
2 of 4 DDR4-2400
4 of 4 DDR4-1866
* - 2933 MT/s on motherboards with at least six PCB layers only, otherwise 2667 MT/s (four-layer boards).
I found one page online (a reviewer) that gave the number of PCB layers for the x470 as 4, but found no secondary confirmation. I also found a page that says that the TridentZ is single rank, but I can't any information about the Aegis. I read lots of forums saying that I should be able to push past the 2933 to get to my 3200. MSI lists both memory sets as being compatible with the x470. Am I being bottnecked somewhere? by the CPU or by the Mobo?
Any help greatly appreciated!
