How to Get Faster RAM Speeds in the BIOS?

[@Excusername]

Important to mention is, your keyboard has to be plugged in not connected with Bluetooth or the 2.4GHz Adapter.

[@_A.t.g]

Maybe it's on some but my asrock one works with the adaptor mouse and keyboard.

[@lucianithildin1748]

Mine works with the adapter too

[@suongoh3720]

wow i learned something new in a youtube shorts comment section thats cool

[@Rikonardo]

A USB adapter connection should work in most cases, because it just presents itself to the PC as a regular keyboard. What can cause issues is USB hub. I use my old gaming laptop as a workstation, and it has a lot of stuff plugged in through the USB C hub. Every time I do something in BIOS I need to use a built-in laptop keyboard, because my external mechanical keyboard doesn't work through the hub

[@Wardyworlds]

If USB Legacy support is enabled and the Bluetooth dongle is plugged in it will work.

[@manisha_das_7672]

Lets troll him guys for 32MHZ RAM

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

oh common we want 40 MHZ ram not 32 kid get with the program 🤣🤣🤣

[@Foottube710]

*Laughs with 64 mhz ram😎😎*

[@milescarter7803]

Aaaand you are all wrong. Its MegaTransfer RAM. Go in CPUz and see what the MHz is listed at. For 3200 it will be 1,600MHz, for 6,400 it will be 3,200MHz. The transfer rate gets doubled because it can send twice every clock cycle (notice that it doesn't actually send every time it could, these are all max potential numbers). So he is actually off by 2 magnitudes and isn't even using the proper unit to start with.

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

@@milescarter7803 so set the ram to 40 MHZ or don't you know how?🤣🤣🤣

If it doesn't show on the logo screen another good place to look is the manual. Never throw em away and always go to them first if you need info

[@Sean-te9cg]

Yep…RTFM

[@dotand0]

surely there is a pdf of the manual on the manufacturer's website though?

[@PixlByPixl]

Also an important thing to note is that the BIOS shown here is usually the advanced features you go to. If you use the simple you should be able to just set the XMP profile with a button.

[@brayanbarboza6663]

How?, i have an PC that not has uefi BIOS, when i put My ram at 3200 mhz My PC don't boot

[@laughingwater]

If you have UEFI, shift click restart in windows and then go to advanced settings then to UEFI firmware settings. Much easier.

[@Joker_Mindz69]

Zach is Killing it with these Shorts💪👊💯

[@NearbyFoxi]

Also some BIOSs don't allow you to access the them when the hybrid shutdown is on. Hold shift and click restart it should drop you into a options page with reset this PC and advanced click advanced and than click UEFI Firmware settings it should reboot into the BIOS

[@Carsofedmonton]

For anybody that doesn’t work for to open bios when your on windows go to where it says shut off and restart. Then whipe holding shift click restart and don’t stop holding shift until it’s there

[@fr.fateen]

keep in mind this is also considered as overclocking.

[@NA-dr9os]

I'm wondering why it's considered overclocking when all it's doing is set the speed at the max speed for the RAM. Shouldn't overclocking be going above that speed?

[@fr.fateen]

@@NA-dr9os it is considered overclocking due to the fact that you are increasing the speed of your ram from the recommended speed to the max speeds it supports. but cpu overclocking is not that easy as it requires cooling and experimenting

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

@@fr.fateen if it states that speed on the box it is NOT overclocking. It is the advertised speed and if it doesn't handle it then it should not have been sold as such. If manufacturers are telling you this, they are full of crap and they have no way to tell how fast you might have run the memory unless you're stupid enough to tell them, and unlike overclocking a CPU it won't hurt it, it will just not work right. They're just trying to screw people on warranty claims. 能骗就骗

[@Proman4713]

Thankfully the GRUB bootloader (default on many Linux distros) already allows you to select BIOS on startup without having to memorize the key or shift + restart :D

[@vijayakumarikumar3920]

Why some OEM PC and laptops have all major options hidden and can't find what ever you do. They say it has something called advance bios setting. But can't find it at all.

[@jacenolmsted6293]

My MSI had a sneaky secret bios like that😂

[@mythydamashii9978]

I didn't know OEM PCs were hard to navigate...I mean some of them do restrict your components list so you can't change anything without it being suspicion to the system

[@tc.n]

​@@mythydamashii9978HP laptops are so stingy when it comes to this. It automatically adjusts and restricts everything to make the laptop easier to use for an average user. But makes it a total hell for people that want to customize the laptop and tweak some settings.

[@Rikonardo]

You should google instructions for your motherboard/laptop. On my MSI laptop there is a comically long key combination that unlocks advanced BIOS settings

[@vijayakumarikumar3920]

@@Rikonardo for example HP laptop has those settings but unable to find it. Not even able to update bios, because they have locked it in advance bios

[@ChillFinity2000]

On most Dell laptops, you first need to press any key while in the boot screen, and then it'll give you a message saying press [insert key here] for bios. then just long press that key, and off to bios you go

[@rk-fb5hw]

In an emergency, you could download the user guide for the motherboard in your computer. Just a thought.

[@averagetomas5755]

Msi mobo here its f2 for me. I will also mention that if you hold Shift and press restart in windows you can access the UEFI which is essentially the bios

[@flycatcher3000]

i hadn’t enabled this for years, thank you

[@YourLocalNerd.]

Tip: if you are stuck in a black screen after spamming delete key / any other bios key, you need to turn off your monitor overclocking option, also if that doesnt work change your display port cable to hdmi

[@MrBacon3]

I love how instead of just searching up the answer, people will leave a comment on a KZbin channel and then wait months for it to have a slim chance of being answered.

[@jariahrishel]

by the way if anyone is wondering, to get into bios u do NOT have to repeatedly spam the delete key. just hold it down! and thank me later

[@adriancoanda9227]

The ram speed can be set within windows, the bios/uefi has the purpose just to turn on the pc, and test the hardware, on modern systems you dont need to go to uefi menu to set hardware parameters, if you boot a acpi/upnp OS 😅

[@ostistekk]

FYI: your cpu might not support the speed of your ram so you cant make your rams speed higher than the cpu limit in the bios, i learnt this the hard way... Always check your cpu models max ram speed by doing a quick google search

[@kelebmor1671]

I might be mistaken, but i believe activating xmp will void the guarantee of the Intel CPU. (Activating the AMD equivalent does not, i believe. Best to check your cpu's guarantee) Also, setting the memory clock is done in the bios under memory->memory clock or speed or sth. For best effect have matching ram sticks or at least ram sticks with matching speeds and timing (cl numbers)

[@kilgarragh]

you can enter your configuration easily from your bootmanager(grub, refind, etc) and some motherboards let you hold down the power button while its booting

[@swforlife3726]

If secure boot/fastboot/uefi is enabled you can hold shift while restarting windows. Then click more and then uefi bios

[@omgninja66]

If it does not work turning on XMP try doing it again but go down 100MHz then 200 MHz until it will work. Some motherboards will not Allow the full speed of whatever your Ram is so just go down until it works

[@sagittarius_sq4]

If you want to get into your bio setting what you do is you slam your keyboard on the desk 100, times! And yell "Sudo Su" at the same

[@LofiBeatsMD]

I've been using my 3200 MHZ ram at 2133 MHZ for 6 years. Thank you for this...

[@Schulzy_s]

Easiest way to enter BIOS / UEFI from windows would be: CMD as Admin > shutdown /r /fw This will automatically start into bios at the restart 🙂

[@lifeisanutshell2422]

It also depends on the cpu and motherboard. For example I have an i3 10th gen and 3000 mhz ram, because this cpu does not support more than 2666 mhz I'm not able to run my ram more than that speed.

[@danny2717]

[@lifeisanutshell2422]

@@danny2717 some Intel cpu's can also limit the ram speed. My motherboard lga 1200 supports 2933 mhz but the cpu makes the problem. Every ryzen cpu is unlocked and supports what the motherboard support.

Wait what, that sucks My 7600x (and I think most 7000 cpus actually including x3D) "officially" support up to like 5200mhz but you can xmp that up to 6000 no problem Is it just a hard lock on that specific cpu which means it literally can't use xmps overclocked speeds or what?

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

@@michubern1444 yes, of course. It's weird, because 4GB sticks are high-end for DDR2, so it's odd that he has 3 of them instead of 2 or 4. The only platform that ever had triple channel as a "thing" was X58 (LGA 1366) and that was DDR3.

[@first_real_human]

Escape is also another option for getting into the bios on some devices I can't remember what it was on a macbook but I think it was one to the left of the super key on a 2010 macbook pro
