Energycore

Hey! So I got the RAM today and tested it. Issues in both motherboards. On the MSI, I set XMP (but left it at 3600) and then tried to install Windows again. Random restart before I even clicked Install. After that I have not been able to POST the MSI motherboard even after clearing CMOS multiple times (with the battery even because desperate times). At this point I'm strongly considering returning everything that can be returned and buying Intel. I'll keep the RAM though, doesn't hurt to have 32GB in there

I ordered the kit. Here goes nothing. At this point I can rate my PC building experience with Ryzen an honest 0/10. It's lost me time and money

I think I can order from newegg, so I'll try to get the G.Skill kit.

Ohh ok that works for me. Oh man $200US for a RAM kit, I'll do it if I HAVE to but yeah Is this 3200 kit fine? It's the alternative I found https://www.amazon.com.mx/G-Skill-16GB-DDR4-3200-3200MHz-módulo/dp/B01HFR96OQ/r Edit: nevermind it's 16-18-18

Ok let me look for that model, and if I can't get it I found this HyperX kit with Samsung B-Die (MSI's page lists it as Samsung 5WB) that's on the MSI motherboard's QVL: https://www.amazon.com.mx/gp/product/B07WJJJ27P/ do you see any issue with it?

Hey! So I wanted to report back after some 8 hours of working on this. I got the new CPU and tested it on the motherboard. Still turned itself off. So I ruled out CPU and looked at my RAM being faulty, so I asked a friend for a good stick of DDR4 (It's a Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) that he runs on a B450 motherboard. Still no dice. Then I switched back to my MSI motherboard to see if it was indeed the motherboard, but still got issues (actually on the MSI motherboard it restarts itself rather than turning itself off and just laying there). At this point I am looking at it possibly being the memory controller not liking EITHER memory kit, so I'm looking for a kit that works. Can I ask for your help finding any 16GB (or 32 if you don't find 16GB ones) kit that's on either motherboard's QVL on amazon.com.mx? I'll be trying myself. The other possible cause is two of my things being broken. Two motherboards, 2 CPUs or 2 power supplies (but my PSUs both work fine on my older build and one of them is a Seasonic GX from 2020, it's the one I use for the new computer). Anything else you'd check?

Nope, just crashed on 2133-15-15-15-35. I'll be purchasing a new CPU and RMAing this one I guess.

So far no shutdown! If the solution is to manually set timings then I'm gucci and I don't need a new CPU. EDIT: Hopefully I can get it stable above 2133MHz LOL otherwise I'll get pretty gimped performance

If only I'd just ponied up the additional money for B-Die RAM LOL

Ok so I was unable to find the SPD values in the Tool tab or the DRAM Timings menu. Here's a couple BIOS screenshots. For now I am booted in with 2133MHz 15-15-15-35 @1.2V and I'll let you know if I get crashes.

Fair enough. Let's see if the new CPU does it. Let me go into the BIOS and try this out. Looks like SoC voltage is 1.094V. Not sure how to interpret that. I also found the error 41 in the Event Viewer

How do I find out? So far I've got sudden shut down both with and without XMP. Do you think it's a good idea to try with another memory kit before buying a CPU? (I can get a replacement 5600X tomorrow with Amazon so I kinda just wanna buy a new one and I can spare the money at least for now, but I don't want to ALSO buy another memory kit). The memory kit's part number is BL2K8G32C16U4B. It's not on the QVL for this motherboard now that I checked.

I was actually not running XMP and running the RAM at the stock 2666MHz with Default timings. Let's see if I can get more stability if I turn on XMP Edit: Nevermind it shut down seconds after posting xD What are the SPD timings? I couldn't find them on the memory timings area at a glance. Power Down Mode is disabled by default.
