RAM running at lower speed despite enabling X.M.P.

[Brotham]

As title.

The RAM is Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3600 and the CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600.

I've enabled X.M.P., saved, and rebooted but it's still running at 2667MHz.

What am I missing?

Edit:

In advanced mode it's showing as 3607Mhz on the right.

Hi,
Is this a new kit added later or a complete new build ?

 

[Brotham]

Completely new build.

Just recieved the RAM this morning and now setting up the BIOS.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I don't know anything about amd system/ bios but what's going on in the os with cpu-z or hwinfo64 and what are they showing min max frequencies ?

 

[cst1992]

Your RAM is running at 3600 MHz(3607 MHz to be exact). Check the second screenshot.
Ignore the first one; that frequency is not updated. It's just showing what's in what slot.

 

[Brotham]

Yes, that's what I figured, thanks.

I presume the easy screen view just shows the base frequency.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yeah 2667 is just bios safe mode frequency.

 

[Brotham]

Now the fun begins ...

 

[outpt]

can load up aida extreme64 and run it. your numbers will be much higher than the stock 2667.

I'm not into overclocking these days.

Just want a stable reasonably fast system.

And yet you are overclocking...

Just download latest ZenTimings software and see what reports...

If everything is normal you should see all MCLK/FCLK/UCLK at 1800MHz

And yet you are overclocking...

Only a little bit.

It's like not inhaling, or being on a break ... it doesn't really count.

The Dram Status information is showing what ram is in what slots via the spd on each stick. I would venture to guess, that if you were to look in Thaiphoon Burner, you will see on the left side that your kit are 2666 upbins. Hence why it says what it does.

As others say, ram is set to xmp and doing its thing.
