Need PC Case and PSU Without RGB With Silent Proof

[whitestar_999]

Nothing to do other than to enable XMP.

Even for XMP I run ram stress test overnight just to be sure after my first ever xmp(on any platform) on ryzen failed that test within 2 hours of running. Better to be safe than sorry with anything ram related as an incorrectly working ram can silently corrupt data over a course of few months.

If not enable...what will happen?

If not enable...what will happen?

Ram will run at default frequency & processor performance will be less but depending on your usage it may not even be noticeable.

 

[omega44-xt]

If not enable...what will happen?

Performance loss, RAM might run at 2133MHz.

 

[shreeux]

Performance loss, RAM might run at 2133MHz.

Ok...Will Enable...Wait for which model for Replacement...Accordingly will see

 

[whitestar_999]

Performance loss, RAM might run at 2133MHz.

My ryzen 1200 can still run 3200 C16 ram at 2400MHz without xmp on a B350 mobo having a bios update from 2018. A 2600 should easily start at 2667 by default without any xmp(may even start at 2933 which is its max supported memory frequency). I think outside of gaming & demanding tasks a typical person likely won't notice difference between even a 2400 ram & 3200 ram when ryzen processor itself is running at stock.

Later went to Ritchie Street chip level service centre...they found RAM was guilty.

Due to RAM, In motherboard Ram section circuit was shorted

XPG SPECTRIX D40 DDR4 RGB 16GB 3000 MHZ RGB

Now RAM send to warranty (10 years warranty) to Delhi...Again 10 more day to wait

just received RAM today...They gave a replacement of XPG ADATA GAMMIX D30 DDR4 16GB 3200MHz
(www.xpg.com/us/xpg/588)

RAM fixed slot closest to the CPU slot 2 (cannot fix in slot 1-due to cpu fan hurdle)

In BIOS - Profile 2 DDR4 3200MHz 16-20-20-38 selected
DRAM Frequency changed to 3200MHz from 2666MHz
(Refer to the screenshot attached.)

Finally, System restarted several times and is now working fine


If anything is wrong, please suggest.


My doubt is: Is the replacement RAM upgraded or degraded?
Why were they given non-RGB RAM?

Can I again ask for replacement?

Your dram is running at default 2667MHz only, you can confirm it in cpu-z memory tab by seeing the DRAM frequency which should be 1333(for dram the actual frequency is half of rated/reported frequency). Your ram has been downgraded in the sense that you should have been given rgb ram for replacement of rgb ram so raise a complaint. If they say no rgb ram(adata D50 rgb model still available on ecomm websites) equivalent model available(D40 seems production stopped) then ask for double capacity of D30(aka 32GB D30 stick) saying you shouldn't be in loss & adata should compensate if giving non rgb ram or give a bit upgraded rgb ram(D50 model).

I read this link about difference between Adata Spectrix vs Gammix...Looklike they given junk RAM

just received RAM today..

Yeah, shoot them an email asking why the replacement is downgraded. They may justify that they have given 3200mhz instead of 3000mhz. And ask what are your options if you don't want this unit.

I dont know about this RAM disadvantages...Visibly, only RBG...Remaining technically downgraded....we cant see...find attachment

Make sure you read the mobo manual for where to put the RAM sticks, you can't put it in random slots.

Increase cooler fan height (mount it higher on the tower) if possible to accommodate RAM.

Its dual channel from left to right Channel 1 is (1&3), and Channel 2 is (2&4).

DIMMA2

Just Shooted...Lets wait...How they react

So 2 & 4 is the right config for initial 2 sticks.

Nothing wrong, it seems MSI mobo uefi menu show overclocked ram status differently hence got confused. Your ram is running at 3200(1599/1600*2).

Just Shooted...Lets wait...How they react

Insist on spectrix D50 or 32GB gammix D30.

Now they replied...Awaiting the official email...Few calls received...I never attend unknown calls; sometimes they do the settlement orally.

Again, I got replacement of after shooting email to customer care. Now they give XPG SPECTRIX D60G DDR4 RGB
www.xpg.com/us/xpg/843


After setting up Bios, it is now working fine


Thanks for all your suggestions

D60G is considered a great RAM for tuning as well.
