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.

[@MrEricmopar]

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

How to do it while me bios is legacy not uefi?

[@Mel.21.]

I changed that and saved and then restarted my pc it turned on but its all black screen and nothing is responding

[@TechInsomnia]

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 🙏

[@shaybn]

My pc turned on and off by itself did I break it? Cause I don’t have the ram box with me so I don’t remember the ram speed

[@shaybn]

It was 3200 mega hertz and I changed it to 5500

[@TechInsomnia]

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. 🙏

For some reason i did everything and when i clicked save and reset it's still resetting and the pc seems to be normal but there is no signal and my mouse and keyboard ain't working..

[@TechInsomnia]

Certain brands can be very finicky on Asus boards. You might have to pull your BIOS battery a few times before you find a stable setting combo that works well with your exact hardware. 🙏

[@SinisterPixel]

If you are ever unsure, for example if you no longer have your RAM's packaging, try and get the item model number for your RAM. If you ordered it online, find the RAM in your order history and check product details. Stick that into Google, and find the manufacturer's page for your specific RAM modules. And go down to the Tech Specs. The stock settings your ram is set to out of box will usually be denoted as "SPD" and the max settings your RAM is capable of will be marked as "Tested". I recommend changing ALL of your settings to the tested settings. This won't just be the RAM speed, it'll also been the voltage, and latancy. So there's a bit more to this. If you're using an Intel CPU, you can forget all of this and just Enable XMP from your BIOS. Although XMP won't be available to you if you use an AMD CPU. Newer AMD chips support "EXPO" which is the AMD equivalant of XMP for DDR5 RAM, but if your CPU didn't come out in 2024 or later, you won't have it.

[@Nameless_TF]

When i did this today it just gave me "hdmi no signal" had to reset it. Anyone know why?

[@TechInsomnia]

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. 🙏

[@Nameless_TF]

@TechInsomnia I just did it after seeing your comment to someone else, and it worked 😁 It's now running at 3533mhz. Thanks alot

[@fiaterik2044]

but what if its not posting then its telling me to press f1 to revert the settings bcs its not going to post? should I lower the frequency?

[@TechInsomnia]

You can try a lower frequency. Is the voltage set to exactly what your RAM is rated for?

[@AplusModz]

At myn says 1.35 V but it’s running at 1.36v is that ok?

[@TechInsomnia]

That's ok. I've seen systems set in a similar fashion and they worked well. Ideally you want to get as close as possible so this will be fine. 💯

[@NahFam1375]

You also want to make sure your CPU is rated for that speed.

My ram should be at 3600 but when its higher than 2400 , the pc reboots and shuts down a few times until it throws me into safe mode...do you have any idea on how to fix it?

[@TechInsomnia]

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 🙏

This will mainly work on an Asus Motherboard as shown in the video but the concept is similar with different brands. Will likely just be different menus or steps to get to those settings. 🙏

if you installed a stick of 16gb with an 8gb stick and the 8gb sticks speed is 2400, it will bottleneck your 16gb

[@blesteeeer]

I have 3200mhz too . Is it safe to go more ?

[@TechInsomnia]

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.

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]

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.
