my 3200mhz runs @2400mhz :(

andy_taximan · 15 Jul 2019 at 23:01

I have the 8Pack TEAM GROUP XTREEM " EDITION" 64GB (4X16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHZ QUAD CHANNEL KIT - BLACK on a Zenith Extreme Alpha and by default it runs at 2400MHZ , I cant get the default xmp options to work , does anybody have any suggestions to make it run at the correct speed?
I am a total newbie at overclocking memory so a step by step video would be nice, many thanks.

Firstly are you on the latest motherboard BIOS?

Nice board. As above, with the latest bios I wouldn't have thought you'd have a problem.

yes, on 1901 05/10/2019

If you are using 4 DIMMs, then you may struggle to get the XMP profile to work as the memory controller might not be up to it. Have you tried two DIMMs?

I am using 4 of the 8 slots , just tried taking 2 out and seems to be no difference, still showing up as 2400 and not booting trying any other settings , anybody think I should try re-seating the cpu ?

Try upping the voltage to 1.35 as that is the stock voltage the ram needs to run at.

Ok that helped a bit, managed to get to 2800mhz, then the dreaded 3 bleeps if i try higher. I still have a lot to learn

Mine appears to be running at 1599.6MHz... uh, guys, what have I done wrong? :eek:

Which would be right as its DDR (Double Data Rate). 1600Mhz x2 clock cycles = 3200Mhz as per your sig. Notice on Post #4 the rate is 1200Mhz which is 2400Mhz effective as the OP describes.

Your RAM is running at the correct speed.

Not all cpu can run 64gb at 3200mhz. It's an imc limitation with TR4.

4x8gb is no issues for 32gb but 4x16 is a different animal...

Thanks, I was being a bit thick, not enough sleep!

So i made a mistake paying £690 for your 3200 memory with a 2990wx then? What the best I can hope for?
