Can't chg RAM Speed on AM4 or H170 Mortoni & DFL boards ?

[Cap'n Jack Sparrow]

Today the AM4 DFL A320M 4TUNE X won't let me change the RAM Speed again. This board supports 3733MHz RAM. The customer wanted an extra 16GB HyperX Fury 3466MHz module (32GB) upgrade which was only running at 2133MHz.

We can't change the RAM speed anymore.

This happened yesterday with a H170 board. So i had a DFL board yesterday which supported 3000MHz RAM but the customers memory would only run at 2666MHz even though he had 3000MHz memory.

I understand that DFL boards won't support overclocking cpu? Is ram also not supported maybe?

Yes all i'm saying now is. Now that H170 boards have been fixed. The descriptions in shop, inventory and BIOS menu need to be changed for H170 boards.

With H170 board some supporting 3000, 3766 etc need to be fixed if they can only support standard DDR4 JEDEC spec 2133MHz speeds. Because they are still saying and listing the wrong speeds.

No point anymore putting fast memory in these boards anymore for customers.

I did find the AM4 motherboards, DFL in particular with a 1700 or 1700x CPU would not allow memory speeds to be changed either. AMD boards and CPU allow OC. So it's still an issue.

Just so you are aware: In real life there are quite a lot of very low-end AMD motherboards that do not allow CPU or ram overclocking. Mostly this sort of thing is common on motherboards based on the A320 and A520 chipsets.

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_chipsets#AM4_chipsets

Note the "Processor Overclocking" column and how it has red squares saying "NO" for these two chipsets. These boards usually don't allow ram overclocking either. Specifically could you tell us *EXACTLY* which DFL motherboard you are using and which chipset it uses?

I'm just guessing but it's probably an A320 board. If it is then that would be completely normal and not a bug.

Hey Aqua. Hope your doing okay :)

Yes you are right. Thanks for that. I think it was a AM4 DFL A320M 4TUNE X board. The other one was the H170 DFL 4TUNE X board. So it's not a bug. Just been corrected to how they are in reality.

I'm not that up on the Modern H170 and AM4 boards. The last time i built a real PC was a Striker II Extreme Nvidia NForce 790 with a Q6600 G0 CPU lol. I used to be a PC Technician many moons ago.

The problem is the developer needs to fix the Max RAM speed in the boards descriptions for the game.

Due to the boards having OC disabled for the CPU for the H170, A320M chipset boards which is now correct, RAM speed speed can not be set, neither do the boards intelligently detect the higher speed module yoy put in them now.

Because you can only put in 2133MHz RAM now. As any RAM won't automatically work at the rated speeds mentioned.

E.g The H170 boards RAM speeds are 2666, 2800, 3000.

Any RAM you put in at these speed ratings will only work at 2133MHz now.

Same with the A320M boards. The 3600, 3733 rated RAM will only run at 2133MHz.

I agree with you there. It seems they changed the behaviour and functionality of the motherboards but they didn't update the descriptions for those motherboards. Perhaps they will update that in the future. We can hope.

But none of the company's motherboards support only 2133
