@Brainonska511 @Shmee Should I push to 3000 or 3200 and see if it works ? It's working fine at 2933 (even ran OCCT memtest. No error reports though) and there's not a huge diff b/w 2933 and 3200 I guess. Also AMD said enabling XMP voids Warranty and stuff, even if its through one of the ways...

memtesting completed. each stick - 2133 and 2933 - passed dual channel config - 2133 and 2933 - passed

So, I was going through this part of the DDR4 OC Guide. My RAm sticks have v4.34 on their stickers, which is presumed to be Samsung's 8GB E-die. Sooooooo yeah 😶‍🌫️! And how do you find out a G-Skill or a Kingston or any brand RAM kit with B-die?

Will get G.Skill if these RAM fail to post at 3200MHz. Currently memtesting at 2933MHz. Will check for the results in the morning.

How do I set these timings in BIOS ? Like which fields to change and how many steps per change ?

Same thoughts. And that's why I'm testing to see if any issues are present in the sticks. Sellers won't accept a return or even an exchange without good proof most times. I did try the fact that even though its rated to run at 3200MHz but failed to post when I did that in BIOS and the response...

I actually meant by the color paired slots on the mother board, starting from the farthest slot from CPU (closer to the edge of the MoBo). I also referred the manual which said to use DDR4_1 and 2 for dual channel. I looked up the slot markings on the MoBo and installed accordingly.

Yup. That's the first thing I did when my CPU landed the MoBo. I used the Q-Flash tool in bios and updated it to latest F64 version. Individual sticks seem to be working fine at their base clocks of 2133MT/s. Both of their tests are looking green. Lets see what the results will look like, when...

I just started the 2nd stick test. Will let it complete this. Then run it with both sticks. And then repeat all three with 2933 and check stability. Is that better or would you suggest something better ?

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I reset BIOS before I started memtest as if was a recommended step. Enabling XMP and doing memtest would lead to false positive type errors is what some articles pointed out and they all said to reset BIOS. So, did that.

I'm actually testing each ram in their actual dual channel designated slots. RAM in DDR4_1 is currently under test (already been 2hrs. I thought each stick would take 1hr, like mentioned in the docs and corsair memtest article). After that, will have the next stick in DDR4_2 slot. I want to make...

Yeah, I actually came across Ryzen DRAM calculator tool as well as memtest. Currently, I'm running memtest86 for one stick at a time to see if the RAM sticks are the issue or not. If they are all good, will run a memtest with both of them in dual channel and see if that raises any errors...

How long should I run memtest ? @Shmee @Brainonska511 I tried the part where you asked me to enable XMP but lower the RAM multiplier to 2933. It ACTUALLY booted to windows. Checked task manager. It shows RAM speed as 2933Mhz (DDR4-3200 16-20-20-38-58-1.35V) . In CPU-Z, the Uncore Frequency and...

I have plans for memtesting, but I'm trying to see if I can just get these RAM sticks exchanged or replaced via my seller for a better compatible sticks (DDR4, 16GB-dual-channel, 2933/3200MHz, maybe C16 or C18). Is there a posibility that memtest might damage the RAM sticks ? If not, I can...
