RAM Speed ​​Issues: Internals

Overall, my board works well most of the time, but not without problems. I haven't had any issues with the network adapter yet, but if it comes up I'll flag it. EDIT: RAM clocks are fine. After some research, I found that RAM doesn't automatically sync to manufacturer's specs right away, and often rarely. Had to enable XMP in the "Memory Clock" option in the BIOS now it runs at a full 3200. Sorry if my lack of knowledge is offended but hopefully this will better inform people of their purchase and their confusion. (This section isn't exact, but I'll leave it here to demonstrate my stupidity and how to overcome it.) The RAM clock speed is showing a weird number that's well below the advertised maximum of 3200, something like 2143 or something like that using 2 DDR4 sticks at 3200. I have a feeling this causes crashes on more demanding processes, but I'm still fairly new to the enthusiast market so I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen and had this a few times Feel free to leave a note about it too. Pretty standard board for beginners, supports "up to" 3000 models, which means the best chip you can throw in here is about 2600x, which isn't BAD, but not a huge scope for upgrades if you're that way something like thing. I hope I'm just misinformed about this, but then again for >$100 it's still a good pick to upgrade. I think you get what you pay for. It's ok for the money, but I won't buy a second one.

Pros
  • Feels Good
Cons
  • So far so good
