Ryzen 1700, Asus Prime x370 and 3000 Ram...ram not running nearly as fast as it should

sargmike · Sep 15, 2017

I recently upgraded my computer and specifically sourced RAM that was listed as compatible with the motherboard. Specifically I got Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15. The ram is only registering at 2133. When I attempted to change it in the BIOS it would not boot and went back to the previous 2133. Is there something that I need to do in order to run this RAM at the listed speed? The bios is listed as up to date when I check in the ASUS app.

If you want to run it at higher than 2133MHz, you need to set voltage to at least 1.35v. You could also set DOCP to 3000.

CountMike :

This is done in the bios correct?

CountMike · Sep 17, 2017

Correct, no other place to make changes like that. First page > F7 > AI Overclock Tuner > DOCP 3000 instead of Auto. To change Voltage on RAM go to Digi VRM > DRAM Voltage > change to 1.35, save and cold start computer after that.

CountMike :

Thank you sir. I saw some of the stuff in the overclocking utility, but was not sure if it applied to the ram. There is a place that shows dram voltage in the overclocking utility in windows.

Ryzen Master ? It's hit and miss in that one and if there's any error you will have to enter BIOS/UEFI anyway.
BTW, which BIOS version you have there.? 0810 is last one worth installing.

CountMike :

yeap, failed. The computer turned on and off several times and then said that overclock failed. Do you have to change both voltage as well as enter it at 3000? I even tried 2400 and it would not hold that either.

CountMike · Sep 17, 2017

If you set DOCP 3000 it should set voltage accordingly automatically. Which BIOS ? You should really update to 0810 if it isn't, a lot of those problems are solved with it.

let me go see

CountMike :

0604, attempting to update now.

CountMike · Sep 17, 2017

Oh, that's one of first ones.

sargmike · Sep 17, 2017

CountMike :

updated to 810, tried setting to 2933 and it just crashed again.

I use the 2666 version, left the voltage to 1.2, set the frequency to 2666 and set the timings to 16-18-18-35. Now it's working and it seems stable.

For your 3000MHz you should set timings to 15-17-17-(Auto)-35 frequency to 3000 and voltage to 1.35 (if it's not already there from auto)

Ryzen doesn't like odd Cl numbers over default 2133MHz, even numbers are needed for Cl.

You should also try giving your SoC voltage a slight bump, it helps with the memory controller.

Ok, seems I was just an idiot. To update this, there was a setting set to auto that I had to change to DOCP. Once doing that I also manually set voltage and one other setting and all is working as intended!

CountMike · Sep 21, 2017

Yeah, that's a bit ambiguous setting, it doesn't show DOCP until you click on Auto. DOCP is a good start, let it set what it reads from XMP and than you can set it back to auto, leave RAM settings for frequency and make other changes after that.
