How to make my ram reach 3000?

[Miraklum]

My specs are on my profile and I never OCed anything so a newbie when it comes to this. I read somewhere that my ram wont go beyond 2133 if I dont OC it. But how? Is it safe? I use MSI Command Center btw.

- MOTHERBOARD MSI B350 GAMING PLUS
- CPU AMD RYZEN 5 1600 HEXA-CORE
- RAM G.SKILL AEGIS 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4-3000MHZ CL16
- Graphics Card MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G
- TP-LINK PCI EXPRESS DUAL BAND AC1300 ARCHER T6E
- PSU Seasonic M12II Evo Edition 620W Full Modular

Is it even worth it to bother guys? Or will it have no impact? Reduce lifespan? I just dont want to jinx my system...

Now that the specs are in order....


Miraklum, you will have to set the speed manually using the advanced chipset settings in your UEFI. There should be a section where you can select the type of RAM you are using.

Just to be sure though, the basic Bus frequancy of DDR4 is 2133 so it will show up as such when labled. For instance..my RAM is ddr4-2400 yet the lable in everyhting i use says it is 2133...Frequency for 2400 is 1200MHz

This usually happens when you are using uregistered RAM modules.

yes it is worth it. Ryzen is highly RAM depending. it starts to unlock its full performance with ~2666MHz while at 2933 it is fully used. Below that you holding the CPU back.

No it has not a reduced lifespan. The RAM is actually rated for that and it has a lifetime warranty. If it would fail you have the right to get a free replacement by G.Skill.

Ok, Im updating BIOS now...then Ill go back to the Bios and this time go for 2666 firts the see if it does 3000. How do I test stability?

Your RAM is rated to run at those speeds, no it will not decrease the life span. You even have a life time warranty on these things.

Running the RAM at higher clockspeeds in a Ryzen system gives you a massive performance boost. The infinity fabric used to connect the multiple Ryzen dies on your chips runs at the same clockspeed as your RAM, that is why Ryzen systems profit a lot from faster RAM. This same infinity baric is what is preventing you from running your RAM at the rated speeds. This infinity fabric is very much a silicon lottery, it's guaranteed to run at atleast 2666Mhz on your chip.

You test stabilaty by simply using the PC. If applications start crashing it is unstable.

But just copy the timings and voltage the RAM is rated for and you will be fine. Then just set the RAM to 2666Mhz and work your way up. After that lower the timings.

The specs where in order befor, you just had to look for it.

You have to do it in BIOS not UEFI because it works in Legacy too...

The basic BUS Frequency of DDR4 is not 2133 it is 100MHz because RAM doesnt have a BUS Frequency... the normal multiplier for DDR4 tho is 21.33. He has tos et the multiplier now to 28, 29.33 or 30.

What do you mean unregistered RAM Modules. There is nothing that need to be rigistered.


PS: If the RAM is shown in everything you use as 2133 it runs at 2133MHz... Every Monitoring Program, Benchmark or even CPU-Z shows the correct RAM speed that is currently used.

I seleted profile 1 wich is 2666 ram speed and its all good...cant understand why wasn´t able to do 3000....wich is profile 2. Maybe the is a BIOS update on the manufacturer site of the mobo? Or maybe this board is not good with this ram...either way its stange.

Just OC it to 2,667.00 for safety reasons.

Mhz isn't the thing that degrades hardware, voltage is.

I explained most of this in post #20. It's mainly a CPU issue.

But my board says it can handle it:

Ill update BIOS, later will try again. On their page it sates it fixes compatibility issues with some memory

But it says on the paper it won't go over 2,667.00.
He also need stable 12V line for OC the RAM until your suggestions.
Considering OP doesn't know what he is talking about it is better not to try to OC.
He won't be able to enter the BIOS..

I entered BIOS and got to 2666 but before couldn´t do 3000. Should I stop at 2666 ram speed?

That's what they say, but CPU is the motor not the MB, a frame could reach 200 MPH but if you have a motor which could go until 150 even with NOS you can't except MORE.

No, the AMD spec sheet says it is guaranteed to go up to 2666Mhz. RAM clocks above that may or may not work.

What is this about a 12v line? Doesn't make any sense.

Overclocking is completely safe. Kinda hard to accidentally put 2v on the RAM.

That is supposed to happen. Means the RAM has been pushed to far, then we know how far the RAM can go. A simple BIOS reset will fix that.

In deed

Thanks Tach...I will mess around with that later.

1200MHz on Dualchannel is ddr-2400

Her is the part number
