Hi all,
Just put together my first Ryzen build. 1700 CPU on a Crosshair Hero VI with G.SKILL F4-3200C14D-16GFX DDR4. Chose the DOCP standard setup in BIOS but cannot for the life of me get the RAM to run at anything above 2933mhz. If I choose 3200mhz it immediately returns to 2400mhz on reboot. I must have watched every youtube video out there and tweaked every value I can in the BIOS but nothing I do will get me to 3200mhz. It shouldn't be this hard should it? It boots up fine at 2933mhz, no crashes or lock-ups....but I want 3200mhz dammit!
I have read elsewhere that it could be the CPU, that some 1700s are not happy running RAM at 3200mhz. I've already returned the DDR4 and I'm on my 2nd set so I'm fairly happy that isn't the culprit.
I'm still within my 14 days from ordering the CPU/MB so I'm wondering if I should return the 1700 to OCUK and try another one? Would I be OK ordering the new one before returning the old one? Don't want to be without my working PC if at all possible but don't want to end up with (and pay for) 2 CPUs .
Am I right in thinking that if I request a return on the 1700 I have a full 14 days after this to actually return it? Or is it 14 days from the original order date?
Cheers.
