nicklog Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hello guys it's my first post here about an issue I have with my system, just to clarify, i've already done my best to search for an answer in the forum but I didnt have enough luck, so in case it exists and I missed it I'm sorry in advance So im running Ryzen 5 2600 Asus rog Crosshair VII Hero Corsair vengeance LED DDR4 3200mHZ (2x8gb) The issue i have is that i cant get frequency more than 1000 mhz for about 2 months that i own the ram. After excessive search on internet the only thing i could get is to change the rams slots (because I think they were wrong as they were shown as single channel), Changing the bios Ai overclock tuner from default to DOCP Standard and eventually I managed to reach 1596 mhz. First of all my computer knowledge is just basic I suppose so if I made a stupid mistake please dont kill me and if someone has an answer try to explain it in simple terms hehe :laughing: If you need any more info please let me know Thanks in advance friends Kind regards Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Computer Guy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hello Nicklog, Your motherboard manual should indicate the primary slots to use for dual channel operation. The actual MHz is 1/2 the rated speed of the DDR4 advertising label and this is what will show in programs such as CPU-z. The actual frequency listed in programs such as CPU-z will be slightly different. DRAM frequency 1,596MHz = 1,600MHz = DDR4-3200. From your post it seems like you were able to successfully configure DDR4-3200 so kudos to you. Download and run the CPU-z program if you don't have it already. Look on the memory tab and see if you are indeed running in dual channel mode as this will give you the best performance with your processor. Note that the memory controller for your Ryzen CPU officially supports DDR4-2933 and anything over that is an overclock. "OC" means overclock and you will find that splashed all over your motherboard advertising and documentation. Ryzen is very capable of supporting higher frequency as you have found out. I would recommend you create a memory test USB stick and run memtest86 to ensure your configuration is not producing errors. If you have no errors then no problem. If you have errors then memory settings may need to be adjusted so no errors are produced. Wikipedia has info on DDR4 to further your knowledge... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_data_rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklog Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hello my friend and thanks for the quick reply. Yes thats the software im using cpuz, it was showing 1000mhz on single channel , i've changed the slots to the ones i should and now I get this http://prntscr.com/mxqhme the only reason i was concerned is because i was looking to other forums people had exactly the same problem with me and they could manage to reach more than 2 or even 3k mhz on their 3000 or 3200 DDR4. But nevermind if you say its fine and to leave that like that, I will :D One more question is it normal that on the SPD tab (CPU-Z) out of the 4 slots I only have enabled one (slot 2) http://prntscr.com/mxqkge does that look ok? Thanks again mate I really appreciate your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasp88 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have the exact same stats on your 2nd picture, and running without any problems with the same cpu and motherboard. The only difference is that I have 4x8gb 3200mhz. of Vengeance RGB Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again mate I really appreciate your help It doesn't look disabled. Can you use the drop down to select a different slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklog Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 It doesn't look disabled. Can you use the drop down to select a different slot? Yes but all of them are disabled only 1 slot (Slot#2) is enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Computer Guy Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I don't know then, maybe a software glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
