Hi all,
Build:
TaiChi x470
Ryzen 7 2700X
Cosair Vengeance RGB Pro 3000MHz (DDR4 2x16GB) (CMW32GX4M2C3000C15)
All verified via PC Part picker as compatible.
I'm struggling to get to get this working. Both Bios and CpuID show the full 32 GB, but windows is not registering it all (only using 16GB with another 16 "Hardware Reserved" - whatever that means):
![]()
What is more, I'd like to know the correct configuration for this RAM if possible. Namely:
a) Which are the right slots? (from the manual, I'm guessing A2 + B2?)
b) What to select as the correct XMP/timings??
c) Does running in single rather that double rank mode effect performance at all? (can't find a way to get the bios to run the ram in double)
I've tried lots of different combinations. Originally, an XMP option came up which was very simlar to my RAM, but at 3200MHz - chose this - resulted in the 16GB Windows ram.
Then did some reading and followed one suggestion that RAM timings should be set at 2400 if using 16GB sticks. Tried this (setting xmp and other profiles to "Auto") - same problem.
Also tired swapping the banks - no difference.
I'd be grateful if someone could advise as stuck with only half my RAM!
