  1. Thank you so much for your reply, greatly appreciated. I have to admit, you lost me there for a moment... would you say this 1.400V that motherboard automatically set for me is OK then? That value changed from 1.200V automatically to 1.400V when I switched frequency from DDR4-2133MHz to DDR4-2666MHz. Value of 1.400V was pink (meaning it was automatically set for me) and I am not able to change that myself. Is it still OK if I run it a that voltage (1.400) or could this pose some risk? Thank you again!
  2. Thank you for your reply, I just noticed there was a reply. Sorry about that. Yes, something is definitely weird. I just checked this old thread: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?104480-ROG-STRIX-B450-F-Gaming-Can-t-Change-DRAM-Voltage ...and even though I am on BIOS 5603 now, I still don't see any difference. When I go to BIOS, DRAM voltage still shows 1.200V, and the option where I am supposed to change it... I can't. It shows 1.400V and the letters are all in pink color. Like pre-set or something... so I save and exit, but once I am back to BIOS, it still shows 1.200V I am just trying DDR4-2666MHz as frequency right now. If I don't use AI Overclock Tuner (D.O.C.P option not enabled), default memory frequency goes down to DDR4-2133MHz. With that, of course, everything works perfectly fine and super stable. I am aware most likely difference between 2133MHz, and 2666MHz is not that huge anyway, so why bother? But, I am interested to learn if it's even possible to get these Corsair 32Gb (4x8 sticks) to work with anything else over default DDR4-2133MHz. Not even trying to get it to go up to DDR4-3000MHz anymore. Thanks again! EDIT: Spoken too soon... BIOS actually shows updated DRAM voltage after the reboot and going back to BIOS again. Now, it shows 1.400V. I keep the frequency at DDR4-2666MHz, and will keep testing it for few days (or hours in case it starts getting unstable). So far, all looks good, but I have to throw some test rendering jobs at it, to see if it's going to have some hick-ups :) This is how it looks like now in my BIOS:
  3. OK, thank you. Will try as soon as I am back home from vacation. Thanks again!
  4. ...and reviving this old thread... I purchased another two sticks (2 x 8 GB) of this same memory ( CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ), so I have 32 GB total in my system now. Again, I'm using this with my Ryzen 5 1600 and ASUS Rog Strix B350-F motherboard. While I've had no problems running two memory modules (2 x 8 GB, total of 16 GB) at 3000 MHz as advertised, I've noticed I'm getting trouble running 4 of them (4 x 8 GB, total of 32 GB) at 3000 MHz. PC beeps three times after I need to restart it, or in case I want to shut it down. I've checked every single module and it's in perfectly good working condition. Nothing ever happens when I run 2 of them only (any combination in between those 4 sticks). It's only with 4 of them plugged all in the same time. Note, this happens while I still had D.O.C.P enabled, and Memory Frequency set to 3000 MHz. Instead of doing nothing and panic in fear that one of my new memory modules is faulty, I simply went to my BIOS, and switched off AI Overclock Tuner and that D.O.C.P with DDR4 3000 MHz set, and instead set Memory Frequency to AUTO. Memory Frequency automatically went down to 2133 MHz. After that, three beeps never happened again. I was testing my system for 3 days straight. Never happened, not a single time. @Corsair CJ - is there something about running all 4 modules in my configuration that makes them not being able to run at advertised speeds? It's not like I must have it at 3000 MHz, difference between what I run now (2133 MHz) and those 3000 MHz, is probably not that big in real life anyway, more on the paper. It's just that I am trying to understand this whole concept much better. I want to learn what is the reason for 32 GB not to run as smoothly at those advertised speeds, as opposed to how 16 GB was running. I am guessing 32 GB will never run at 3000 MHz, my logic tells me... it's just I want to understand what is that that's preventing it. Cheers!
  5. OK, so what I don't understand, is these information CPU-Z is showing me. Am I reading this correct? Because if that's correct, why BIOS is showing differently? Plus shouldn't it at least be 2133MHz? EDIT: It's all good. It is actually running at close to 3000 MHz. Explanation here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2838092/2133mhz-ram-shows-1066-5mhz-cpu.html In this guy's case, he was getting 1066.5 MHz... So, in my case, that is 2 x 1496.4 = 2992.8 MHz
  6. I did not remove the memory from the slots, I simply took the picture with my phone. I'm posting smaller version (pic you can see below), but also providing the link for full size photo at the bottom of this message. I hope someone can recognize the version number. To me it looks borderline weird. Either it's 5.30, or 6.30. It looks more like 6, but not sure... I placed two images next to each other, the one on the right is more zoomed in. Can someone from Corsair confirm please? Original size image can be seen if you use this link: https://i.imgur.com/3KlPoCb.jpg
  7. I was afraid that's the case, I am trying not to take them out. The way they're sitting inside right now, I am not sure if I'd be able to see any labels. Will have to try when I get home (at work right now). Is there any "memory modules info kind of application" available that would reveal that information, or it has to be taken directly from the label? Cheers!
  8. Mine is CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 (2 x 8 Gb sticks) As I mentioned in my previous post, I simply changed from AUTO to D.O.C.P inside the AI OVERCLOCK TUNER, and adjusted MEMORY FREQUENCY manually to DDR4-3000MHz. That is all I did. Version of the memory, I am not sure how can I check that. My system runs super stable with this memory (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) set at 3000 MHz.
  9. Just a little update for all those who might have same or similar questions. With literally no effort, after updating my ASUS ROG Strix B350-F to the most recent BIOS firmware as of now (3803), I simply went under Ai Tweaker and changed AI OVERCLOCK TUNER from AUTO to D.O.C.P, and adjusted MEMORY FREQUENCY manually to DDR4-3000MHz. Absolutely no other options have I touched and changed. That's literally all I did, and after the reboot, I was instantly able to see the speed of my memory set as 3000MHz. It's running super stable, whole last evening, night, and almost whole day today. So to resume... anyone who might have questions regarding the Ryzen 5 1600, ASUS ROG Strix B350-F and Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz CL15 Memory Kit Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) linked here: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=090226 I confirm, it works beautifully!
  10. Thank you so much! I just purchased LPX 3000MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15), literally came back home 10 minutes ago from the store. They had quite a good deal on it, so I didn't want to miss it, and also since it's listed here (QVL), it gave me some kind of piece of mind :) ROG-STRIX-B350-F-GAMING_Memory_QVL_180125 As far as LEDs go... I love them, but since I already have my Phanteks P400 decorated, DDR4 LEDs would be little over the top anyway. My remaining question would be... Once I update Rog Strix B350-F bios, is there anything specific I need to set in BIOS in order to get the best out of these two sticks (2x8Gb)? I am not so interested to push it to its limits, or overclock, or whatever it's called. I am only interested to have good speeds enabled while being proven stable. What are the gains of having X.M.P enabled? Sorry for all these questions, just trying to get a firm understanding of all this new technology (at least for me, coming from ZX Spectrum age). Thank you so much once again!
  11. Hello you wonderful forum members! I know this has been discussed numerous times probably, but I can never find exactly the same scenario as my own. After tons of years, I finally decided to move from my beloved i5-3570K. It served me really well in every single task I needed it to do for me, but time has come to move on and upgrade. So, I just purchased AMD Ryzen 5 1600, and ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F motherboard. I have everything else I need (my H80i v2 with AM4 bracket among other components), and the only item that's left for me to buy... DDR4. Could some nice soul recommend what would work without any hick-ups with my CPU/MB configuration ? I just want to stress out, I am not looking into any kind of overclocking or anything like that. Even with factory speeds, this new machine will be quite faster than my old one... and believe me, there was nothing I wasn't able to do with it (3D modeling, animations, motion graphics, even some heavy gaming from time to time). I just need it to work stable without crashing or causing any kind of system/OS failure. Oh yes, I am looking to get DDR4 16Gb, possibly two RAM modules. I am quite aware that memory prices are raging at the moment, but I found couple of items on sale. These are 2666, 3000 and 3200 units currently on sale here in Canada: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?cPath=24_311&sf=%3A1%2C2%2C3%2C4_20%2C4_22%2C4_23%2C5%2C6&rebate=1 Anything in there worth spending money on, or should I wait until prices calm down a bit (who knows when though)? Thank you in advance for your assistance! EDIT: they updated that sale page since I posted last night, and added some new listings. These caught my eye, any info if they would work would be appreciated: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=098797 http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=090226 http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=103816 http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=105004
  12. Let's hope so :) Until then, I am super happy even with this one. Looks amazing in my case (Phanteks Eclipse White edition with dark tempered glass). Thanks again and have a wonderful rest of the day my friend!
  13. Thank you for your reply, greatly appreciated. Not a huge problem, I was just wondering if it's program bug or something else. I know it's possible to chose any color from the visible spectrum (I believe it's 16.8 million colors, who needs all those anyway :), so I thought it would be possible to see them cycling. Anyway, this is great product even if it was completely without LED. Just wondering... what is the reason. Is it that hardware version or something else? Thanks a million again!
  14. Hello good forum people! Haven't posted much lately, but constantly visiting forums and reading super useful stuff. I just purchased H80i V2 kit, and installed it yesterday. Super, super happy with everything. I have one question and I wasn't able to find any answers for this specific model (H80i V2). I've read somewhere that it could have something to do with Asetek hardware, but I am not even sure how to check if mine falls into this category. What I wonder... is there any way to have Corsair logo on the pump cycling RGB colors, or is it only possible to have one color enabled at the time, solid color? Thanks in advance for all the help!
