Hello everyone!
Im having a slight problem with my dram voltage.
My Specs:
Cpu:Ryzen 1600x
Motherboard:Asus - PRIME B350
Ram:Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3000
Power supply:EVGA - 600B 600W 80+ Bronze

So as i said earlier I'm having problems with my dram ram voltage these problems started yesterday let me give you some backstory iv had it on the D.O.C.P profile to overclock it and its worked for a year now never had any problems but then i got this sign saying overclocking failed during boot up even though I didn't change any of my settings so orginaly it was at 1.35000 for the voltage but i had to lower it to 12950 otherwise it wouldnt boot up and I was wondering if it was maybe the ram or my power supply maybe the profile itself if not what could be a soultion to this?

P.S. this is my first time posting on here so if you do not understand anything iv said or need some clarification please just ask.

Thanks again for reading :)

I used the XMP profile an lowered the frequency until it was stable, you're using the XMP profile an lowering the voltage while keeping the frequency high? this might be where you're going wrong - try this use the XMP profile, an lower the frequency to 2866mhz then run a mem test see if its stable - side of ur ram has the timings an voltage manually enter, but lower frequency to 2866mhz this was sweet spot for me

Well it sounds like you just changed the DRAM voltage, that is not underclocking it is lowering the voltage.

So you didn't change anything else just lowered the voltage from 1.35v to 1.29v and that allowed it to boot? Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, if anything lowering the voltage could cause instability or a failure to boot. You sure you didn't change the DOCP profile to one with lower speeds?

Hi yes I meant I lowerd the voltage the profile set the dram voltage automatically to 13500 and i lowerd it to 12950 what still puzzles me a bit is why I'm having problems with it.

P.S. I have pictures if that might help

the ram isn't fully supported, I have the same hardware - I managed to get it to work by manually entering the timings and putting frequency to 2866mhz you wont get 3000mhz
