Is it the board or my RAM ? heres the story
As the title suggests, I currently have G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000mhz 16gb (2x8gb)CL16 RAM, I purchased this ram only a few weeks ago when I upgraded to RyZen, im running it with a Gigabyte AB350m Gaming 3 motherboard.
To cut a long story short, I couldnt get the ram to run any faster than 2666mhz stable on the first release bios (F2) and only got this by enabling XMP but dialing down the speed to 2666mhz.
so I contacted Gigabyte who sent me the latest bios they're working on F3, I flashed this, all went fine, except where memory is concerned, now I can only get 2400mhz stable, by once again enabling XMP and dialing down the speed to 2400mhz.
So I decided it was better how it was before, Cinebench etc results were faster, so I back flashed to F2, only this time something has changed, theres no XMP option in the bios, and cant get anything higher than 2133mhz on the ram, so I flashed back to F3 once again, and once again the XMP option is still missing, WTF ? RAM issue or board do you guys think ? its almost as if the XMP profile programmed into the sticks has gone missing, is this even possible ?
