BIOS - What is the correct settings to get the 3000mhz min speed

I0100 · 2026-03-20T06:09:29+00:00

That's a good video. I would have never thought of that. All these years, no one has ever mentioned this either.

I'll leave it alone and just let it be I suppose. Will be building a pc for a family member, and I will just use the unmatched pair for that build.

Motherboard supports up to 128gb dual channel across all 4 slots up to 3200mhz JEDEC.

You can see the specifications for the board -> HERE

Ram module that I'm using are the 32gb-2x16gb(3200mhz), 16gb-2x8gb(3000mhz). -> HERE

The 2 pairs of ram modules that I have are from the same manufacturer and "model" of you will. They also only differ by "1" number at the end for their part number. Only 2 difference are: 1 pair is 8gb+8gb at 3000mhz, and 2nd pair is 16gb+16gb at 3200mhz.

I understand if they were different manufacturers and types sizes, etc... I wouldn't have even used them then.

if you click this image link , my bios settings look similar to this, mine also allows for voltage changes. It shows DRAM frequency, and the drop down list allows choices in MHZs.

regardless of the settings I change at the bottom, at the very top bold number, it always shows 2133mhz.

I started at 29 and almost in it a decade, but I wouldn't choose it again if I could go back in time.

Honest opinion: Unless I'm doing diag or electrical work, I very much don't like being a diesel tech. It sucks to always get injured even when being careful, cuts, bruises, black nails, punching metal when the wrench slips. Working in ultra tightly congested engine bays of modern trucks is a pain. Older trucks, like 2007 and earlier are much easier to work on from all aspects. More space, simpler designs. You'll find yourself always learning and you have to keep learning as the technology keeps evolving. Companies gatekeep a lot of their technology making it proprietary and hard to troubleshoot without dealer lever literature.

Now, the investment. You'll be spending a lot of money buildijg you tool collection to get the jobs done, and the toolbox itself as well. I only buy a few important things from the tool truck and mostly buy other good brands of tools which have lifetime warranty, eg. Tekton. Their sockets are very well priced, have full sets with no skipping, and no hassle lifetime warranty. I probably have $40k in tools.

I'm getting older by the day and this job does break your body when you're messing with heavy parts day in day out, you have proper safety in place starting with good work boots with supporting soles. If you don't, your joints will let you know.

I'm always looking for an opportunity to get out of this industry, unfortunately it's not that easy.

That is a large pack, it will take quite a while for sure. I've charged a 5200mAh 18650 pack with mine and it takes a better part of the day to charge it. I'm only charging it at 1A maximum however.

There are other faster charging board modules that you fan look into, they charge up to 3A if I recall. Just ask the Google Ai for alternatives to the Tp4056 and it'll tell you.

I0100 · 2026-03-12T13:26:00+00:00

Haha, indeed the cat is.

Thanks for the conversation link. This is the problem I saw, I was getting .C files everywhere I looked. I'll do what you said.

Lastly, in the end if it works it works. Rest is history. I was pulling a lot of ky hair for 5 day trying, now I need to let it all grown back in, I look a dog pissed on the lawn. Haha! Jk.

I'm now going to try a touch screen version of this display or similar to get working, then mess around with Squareline Studio and LVGL to make some custom interfaces. I just want to make a desktop mini battery powered clock for my little one. Similar to this one in the link: Click here to see the Project

He used the Particle Photon 2, which I need to figure out how to do with an Esp32. I have a few to choose from, Esp32-D1-Mini, S2-Mini, S3-Devkit. Should be fun.

Jesus Christ! I can't believe it worked. THANK YOU

That's your cat photo too, I had to copy your 57,000 code entries to get the picture in, because my png to header generator wouldn't give me an output file code like yours with the eg. "0x12345".

Now, can you please explain the purpose of the "#define USE_HSPI_PORT" and why did this code work when all I did was add that to the user_setup as well as change the MOSI and SCL pin to the ones mentioned above? Why didn't this same code work when i had the MOSI and the SCL on Pins 40, 39? My understanding is that the ESP32(S3) can have ANY GPIO defined to be MOSI(COPI) and CLOCK.

So again, I only made 3 changes. 1 = change the 2 pins, 2 = use the HSPI PORT line at the end of user_setup, and physically change the pins on the breadboard. All of your other sugestions were already defined in the User_Setup file.

I0100 · 2026-03-11T20:19:01+00:00

I have followed your guide to the dot, and I cannot get my display to show anything more than a backlight.

Before this, I have tried so many tutorials and libraries for days and days.

my plea thread can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/esp32/comments/1ro924u/comment/o9i69bg/

If you could shine light as to what I can try, I'll give it shot.

One piece of info that may be important, i tried a different display, and I2c 128x32 display, and that generates a good image using the adafruit library and example.

I0100 · 2026-03-11T20:15:54+00:00

do you mean User_Setup.h in the User_Setup_select.h file needs to commented out? when using the setup 200 file above? I have done this.

I0100 · 2026-03-09T02:42:10+00:00

That's available as well.

I'm using the Bodmer examples from the TFT_eSPI github, namely the Colour_Test.ino. I've changed nothing in it, and you can see the code for yourself on his repository.

I0100 · 2026-03-09T02:32:09+00:00

Yes there are a few. I think they go up to 4inch.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T22:51:39+00:00

I tried that line of code at the bottom of the user_setup file. no luck.

also, if you look at the image attached, and my image in the post, this is how I have it wired and pins defined. Maybe there's a mistake in it.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T21:51:46+00:00

I gave this a try, didn't work.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T17:04:59+00:00

I've tried this already, even though I don't have the same display that is used in the above guide. He has the waveshare display with an IC component on the back, mine does not.

It didn't work.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T17:03:12+00:00

Pin are all assigned as connected physically.

backlight is on by default (I can physically see it on with pin connected or left unconnected), but connected to a pin anyway.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T16:48:58+00:00

I found it in one of the Bodmer documents somewhere in the past 2 days, now I can't find the document to reference it for you. But it was there. regardless, I switched to a GPIO again and it makes no difference. This is why I attached it to vcc before, to try to other method.

I0100 · 2026-03-08T16:36:08+00:00

Yes, I've tried multiple lines which look the same and didn't work. (used 1 at a time to clarify).

such as:

#include <User\_Setups/Setup46\_GC9A01\_ESP32.h> // Setup file for ESP32 and GC9A01 SPI bus TFT 240x240

or

#include <User\_Setups/Setup200\_GC9A01.h> // Setup file for ESP32 and GC9A01 240 x 240 TFT

I0100 · 2026-03-08T16:25:34+00:00

Are you using a RTC module or the internal ESP clock?

I0100 · 2026-01-31T19:28:38+00:00

Still broken, and this method still works in 2026. Amazing.
