Hi all,

For the first time in a long time, I've bought a complete system, and gone for a full AMD build: 2700X, Asus x470 F, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3600, Asus Vega 64. The eagle eye'd among you may have realised that the mobo doesn't support 3600 ram, its max is 3466...

Rather than the ram running at 3466, it refuses to budge above 2100. I have the option of an exchange, but will involve the better part of a week without a PC (old one already claimed by son).

A friend mentioned that I may be able to manually set everything and get it working, but I've no idea how to go about it. I did notice the ram I've got is rated at 1.2v, the ram I should've got is 1.35. can I set 3466 or 3600 and just up the voltage?

Any advice appreciated!

Cheers
Ross
 
The problem is it defaults to 2100 and fails to post at anything higher. Gonna try more voltage, but as I said, it has been a while and I'm not familiar with Ryzen at all.
