How To SET RAM SPEED on Asus BIOS
Welcome to our tutorial on how to set RAM speed on an Asus motherboard. If you've just built a custom gaming PC and you're not getting the RAM speed you paid for, don't worry! We'll guide you through the process step-by-step to ensure that you get the full performance out of your RAM.
By default, the RAM may be set to a lower clock speed than what it's capable of. In this case, we have DDR4 3200 RAM. To fix this issue, we need to access the BIOS and make a few adjustments.
First, enter the advanced mode by clicking "Advanced" from the main screen. Next, navigate to "AI Tweaker," and then scroll down to "DRAM Frequency." From here, select the speed you want - in this case, 3200MHz - and exit the BIOS by clicking "Exit Save Changes and Reset."
Once the computer restarts, press F2 to enter the BIOS and confirm that the RAM frequency is now set to 3200MHz. If everything looks good, you're all set!
Before we wrap up, it's important to check the voltage of the RAM. Make sure that the voltage your motherboard is using matches what your RAM is tested and rated for.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is an essential component of any computer, and optimizing its speed can help improve your system's performance. With our step-by-step tutorial, you'll learn how to easily set the RAM speed on your Asus BIOS.

You don't have to go to the advanced mode, the XMP profile set to "enabled" will clock to it's rated speed, from the easy side.... Also, overclocking it to the full speed of the RAM will increase the voltage in all cases. Usually to 1.35v

I would check the voltage first and make sure it matches what’s written on your RAM. Does your motherboard give you the option to match the voltage in a setting usually close to or in the same section where you set the speed? Sometimes that can throw off a RAM setting being successfully applied. What brand board are you using my friend? Hope this helps 🙏

My PC won't boot into BIOS after making these changes. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to enable the XMP? I didn't see you using XMP.
@TechInsomnia
5 ай бұрын
If ever you make changes and boot to a black screen you can unplug your PC and pull out your BIOS battery for a few minutes. Then reinsert and boot up. This will reset your motherboards BIOS values to default and you can try a different configuration. XMP works well most times you can try that. In this video I wanted to kind of give the viewer an understanding of what the settings mean and how to do it manually but I should maybe make another video and show XMP as well. Hope this helps my friend 🙏

Sometime the board or RAM or CPU won't like that exact setting. Different parts can react in different ways to different configurations, especially when a setting just doesn't sit well. Unplug your power cord and open your computer. Remove your BIOS battery from the board and wait 30-60 seconds. Re-insert BIOS battery and your computer should boot fine with default BIOS settings. Try another configuration and see if the computer restarts and runs stable. 💯 Hope this helps my friend 🙏

Sometimes if the setting is incompatible with the RAM itself, this might happen. It can be a pain but the best way is to unplug the computer and pull the BIOS battery for 30-60 seconds and then re-insert. This will set the BIOS back to default settings and you can enter the BIOS and try again. Hope this helps my friend. 🙏

Asus motherboard? Try unplugging the power and opening it up and remove the bios battery if you can access it. Then wait 5 min and put the bios battery back in and plug the computer and power on and enter bios. You should be back and reset to factory bios settings. Try not to set higher than what your RAM is. It will display the speed and voltage on the RAM itself most times so while you’re pulling the BIOS battery and have it open maybe take out one of the sticks of RAM and check it. Take a clear picture for future reference. Hope this helps my friend. 🙏

I like 3200 because it’s the safer more stable speed on average for most Asus boards at least in my experience. Better timing might help you more depending on what you’re doing and Corsair and G.Skill have quality builds for the most parts. 🙏

They have removed that feature in your unit because this is a consumer grade pre-built machine and they wouldn't want you to change the RAM clock settings. They like to set everything for you in the factory so it's less likely to fail and likely the RAM they put in these machines can't handle a higher clock speed so they won't give you the option unfortunately my friend. 🙏
