Problem with G.Skill Trident X 2400 PC3-19200 8GB 2x4GB CL10 DDR3 RAM memory

[setister]

My problem is as follows: I can't get my RAM to reach 2133mhz, it stays at 800mhz and I don't understand why, since I have configured the RAM in the BIOS with XMP and I can get it to go up to 1067mhz but it doesn't go any further, I also don't want to do pro-level overclocking, I just want it to work at an acceptable speed and for the system not to crash since it manages the RAM very poorly and sometimes it gets stuck.

My equipment is:
-G.Skill Trident X DDR3 2400 PC3-19200 8GB 2x4GB CL10 RAM
-MSI 990FXA Gaming motherboard
-AMD FX Series FX-4300 3.8Ghz 4X processor
-120 gb Kingston SSD
-1tb 7200 Barracuda hard drive
-460 w Phasak power supply
-NVIDIA GeForce 210 graphics card

Thanks in advance.

Theoretically, on that board you should be able to leave the FSB at 200Mhz and use the DRAM Frequency option to increase the memory up to 2133Mhz. In this screenshot you can see XMP activated and the frequency on automatic and despite being on Auto it gives 2133Mhz. Try changing the frequency manually to see if it lets you increase it to 2133.

AMD has a problem with RAM and it is that almost all, especially the high-performance one, has XMP profiles certified for Intel… but then those profiles do not work for AMD.

It is sad but despite AMD having less bandwidth to many secondary timings that for some reason give problems and do not allow the use of these profiles.

Anyway, I'm sorry to give this bad news but it is what it is... let's hope with ZEN and DDR4 these kinds of things are resolved.

If you buy memory optimized for intel, to mount them in an AMD, you can blame the buyer for not paying attention, or the manufacturer of the memory for not making profiles for both platforms instead of versions for each one, but blame AMD :facepalm:

Salu2!

I suppose it would be better to look at the compatibility chart before buying modules for these boards.

I've been misunderstood... when I say that AMD has a problem, I mean that afterwards people complain because the memos don't work at the speed they're certified for... that affects AMD, which may or may not be partly to blame... be that as it may, the user's anger falls on the green ones for these kinds of things. Obviously the manufacturers decide who they optimize the XMP for... at JEDEC it's another story and it's rare to find problems because the speeds are lower and the timings are more relaxed. In any case, the problems lie in the BIOS since it's the one that should correct the secondary timings of the XMP, but as soon as you go outside of the JEDEC Standard, each chip works in a certain way and manages to work at a certain speed with certain values. The best thing is always to look at the compatibility list as **whoololon** says.

Ok many thanks to all then my problem is that I have no idea and I bought the first thing I saw, but even so there is nothing I can do to improve the performance???

Thanks again

And well since we're here what do you think about the power supply?? as you can see I'm not very knowledgeable and I need some help.

What do you think about this ram according to the compatibility list it would work
