XMP on or off

Artifact00 · Jul 21, 2020

Hi i need advice about the XMP.

mobo B450 tomahawk max
from default it set the ram at 2600
but my ram are 3000mhz

should i turn xmp on and let the bios read it as 2666? or change the ram to 3000mhz manually?

Shou Miko · Jul 21, 2020

You can try to activate it and see if it's stable.

I got the B450 Gaming Pro Carbon and running 2 mixed kits from Geil at 3000MHz without issues.

Just remember the higher you go the closer you get to AMD's Infinity fab limit which can lead to a big penalty in performance.

What's your CPU? First gen Ryzen might have troubles with 3000MHz memory, but 2nd gen or 3rd gen shouldn't have any problems.

its 3300x. sorry forgot to write it

EarthDog · Jul 21, 2020

Absolutely. Make sure your board is using the latest bios, set xmp and you should be good.

even my ryzen 1400 can run 3200MHz without issue, the BIOS updates fixed a lot of the early problems.

Definitely run with XMP on, as it automatically sets the correct timings and voltages

I wouldn't bet on XMP, as it has a lot to do with what RAM you have as well. Care to share the brand and model?

Many Corsair LPX modules for example don't do XMP on a lot of combinations of AMD hardware and often don't even run at the rate speed even using manual settings.
Even the Patriot modules I have no don't play nice with XMP on my system, but have no problem to run faster than spec after some manual tuning.

You can check most of it in CPU-Z

Some motherboards also adjust other voltages, so it can be more stable with XMP on

XMP either works, or it doesn't.
If your system doesn't boot or reboots before getting into the OS, XMP failed.
Otherwise it works and you can go ahead and use it.

To simplify:

Apply XMP and see if your system boots and is stable.
If it is, you don't need to do anything.
If it's not, then disable XMP and set your memory voltage and speed manually.

No. OP does not want to tweak their memory, they want to know whether or not to use XMP. Please don't recommend things that are going to confuse and complicate their lives.

Hi,
Dram calculator is mandatory for amd systems if issues appear.

If issues appear, indeed! But that wasn't the OP's question.

Perhaps next time mention what good the tool would be used for instead of saying "Hi" and leaving it there as if that is the answer. We don't know if XMP will work. He needs to set it first and see before he uses the tool.

Then you better explain how it works too, as there's already another thread where the OP tried and failed miserably at using it.

Hi,
Kind of goes hand in hand with xmp yes or no :-)

Artifact00 · Jul 21, 2020

i turn on xmp then check the cpu z. is this correct why am i getting only 1200 mhz?

Uhm, no.

Go to memory tab.

Artifact00 · Jul 21, 2020

this is the memory tab. what i do wrong? in bios it say my memory are 3000

ThrashZone · Jul 21, 2020

You're at 3k mhz xmp is working :-)

1st gen shouldn't have any problems at at with 3000mhz not sure where you got that from, unless they're iffy sticks to begin with like the corsair ones that have problems running on most ryzen's aside from that you're good up to 3400 though 3600 is where 1st gen ryzen struggles due to the imc

Though I'd recommend using ryzen dram calculator to the op should be able to get them running at 3000 and tighten the timings up a bit

Absolutely nothing. You're running DDR4 3000.

Remember, DDR - DOUBLE Data Rate... 1500 x2 = 3000.

ThrashZone said:

No. If XMP doesn't work and setting voltages and timings manually, then I would look at the tool. Not first. Your order of operations is off.

No need for the calculator when the guy should just need to enable XMP...................... which he did almost 1.5 hours before your post......
