Why isn’t my RAM running at its advertised speed?

Asked By CuriousGadget23 On

I recently purchased a 2x32GB Corsair RAM kit that's supposed to run at 6400 MT/s with 32CL timing. After doing a memtest86, I encountered some errors and suspected the RAM might be the culprit. I have an Asus X870E-H motherboard and a 9800x3d CPU. While the memory runs into issues at 6400 MT/s, I downgraded it to 6000 MT/s and it passed the memtest86 without a hitch. The specs on my motherboard say it can handle up to 8000 MT/s. I'm fine with sticking to 6000 MT/s since the performance difference isn't significant, but I'm curious about my options to get the RAM to work as intended. Any insights would be appreciated!

If you have XMP already enabled but it's causing errors, you might want to try manually setting the RAM timings and voltage according to Corsair's specifications. Sometimes, auto settings don't play nice with certain configurations.

Have you tried enabling or disabling XMP (or EXPO, if that's what Asus is using)? If it's currently enabled, turning it off might help stabilize things. If it's off, turn it on and see if that resolves the issue.
