New build no psting

[Noxido89]

I bought a 2200g with a Biostar x470gtn board with a adata spectrix D40 8gb 3200mhz ram, the pc didn't post at all, I then took it to the place where I bought my mobo and they say that the cpu doesn't support the ram? Should I belive this as I can't understand why the cpu wouldn't support that ram they then suggested I go for 2400mhz ram? I'm confused and would appreciate any help from the fellow carb.
So doesnt Ryzen 3,2200g work with this ram(adata spectrix d40 3200mhz)?

Certain ram doesn't work with Ryzen.
Have a look at the certified list

 

[Noxido89]

Where do i find this list?

 

[RandomSheepZA]

Generally OK the mb website.
There should be a list of approved memory.

Ryzen 3 2200G - AMD - WikiChip

Ryzen 3 2200G is a 64-bit quad-core low-end performance x86 desktop microprocessor introduced by AMD in early 2018. This processor is based on AMD's Zen microarchitecture and is fabricated on a 14 nm process. The 2200G operates at a base frequency of 3.5 GHz with a TDP of 65 W and a Boost...

Looks like max support is 2933mhz

Are you able to enter your bios?

You could try underclock the ram then and see if you get it working.

The real question here though is why you decided to pair a 2200g with a x470

The mobo was affordable for i got it for 1700 and my budge was tight
I see thanx.
The pc goes on but gives me a blue screen saying no signal

Hey guys.

I'm trying to help him with the scenario.

As he bought the ram from me, all other components were bought at another e-tailer.

I did take his pc to try and see if i was able to sort the no posting issue i used a corsair vengeance 8GB 2666Mhz ram bit in the pc & there was still posting this same ram was in a Ryzen PC & worked perfectly, that instantly in my mind meant there could be something wrong with his mobo.

He has since told me that the place where he took it in is saying that the CPU doesnt support the ram, my understand is that it would automatically down clock & was up to the user to enable XMP in the motherboards bios to allow for the "overclocking" of the ram.

My concern is i don't want the client to be screwed over where he buys the ram they suggest & it still doesnt work because they trying to avoid any warranties.

I have also mentioned to him that i would gladly replace the ram or get him different ram if it were the case of faulty ram or to try help him out, but am also reluctant to do so if the issue still persists.

This exact ram i have used for several ryzen builds already, 2400g's & 2200g's & its honestly the first time i have heard of this.

I am fully aware of the Ryzen CPU being very picky with ram bits.

This is the motherboards support list, which still leaves it inconclusive:

Hopefully someone can shed more light so we can help this gent out.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

Have you tried getting it to post outside the case?

Or with a different power supply?

Could be shorting somewhere.

Have you got any other cpu you could drop into the mobo?

Or tried clearing CMOS?

At this point I'd have to agree that i don't think it's a ram compatibility issue.

Next top 2 IMO would be a short or a dead board. So test for those. If not, let us know and we'll move down the list.

Edit: could also help to get a mobo speaker, they're fairly cheap and will help you pinpoint what's not working.

Good luck

Thanks man

Ye i have bread boarded it tried different power supply & nothing.

The only thing i didnt try was the cpu as i didn't really have a spare CPU to test with, hence me actually suggesting to take the pc to the guys he bought most the parts from (mobo in particular

So it is now currently with the other guys .

They are now saying the cpu doesn't support the ram.. and i'm struggling to believe it .

Not a lot of officially supported RAM for this board, looks like its best to get some G-skill

 

[Sola Scriptura]

RAM will just donwclock if the cpu does not support the speed of the RAM.

Indeed, this is more likely a mobo & RAM combination issue I suspect

Hey guys.

my understand is that it would automatically down clock & was up to the user to enable XMP in the motherboards bios to allow for the "overclocking" of the ram.

TO the best of my knowledge this is only true if the S.P.D (which is lower then the base speed of the RAM) is supported by the IMC. With Intel, the IMC is on the CPU last I checked, not sure about AMD.

So if the S.P.D is > what the IMC supports, then the downclocking can't happen (10% assumption on the cant part). I once had a Intel build that wouldnt POST with 1866Mhz RAM (SPD was 1600Mhz) but the IMC only supported 1333Mhz. I had to enable XMP profile for 1600Mhz using other RAM, then boot with the "troubled" RAM. This got the system booting. I could then put the XMPon the 1866Mhz profile.
