When I turn on DOCP, which I assume is the XMP equivalent of AMD it does its job and sets all of the settings that are advertised on my memory. But, however, when I restart the system, the same issue occurs when the PC boots and then turn off multiple times. I'm unclear as to what to do now. Also, I am totally confused as to how the Ryzen Calculator and what it's purpose is. I appreciate the help nonetheless.

I'm not currently overclocking my CPU right now.

I can't think of any other way to put it in the title, but recently, I got 2 kits of G.Skill Trident Z RGB (quad channel, 32gb, model F4-3600C18D-16GTZRX) for my new system. They were advertised to have been clocked at 3600mhz on the box and website, but I've heard that Ryzen users like me have to manually configure RAM most of the time. If I just set my RAM frequency to 3600mhz, my pc reboots multiple time until it hits the American Megatrends screen and sends me back to bios. If anyone could give me insight on how to do this for my particular system (which will be linked below), I would appreciate it. System: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DirtyRift/saved/sdLXP6

I've been told that before and I should probably get split it with 2x 8gb sticks. Thanks for one final confirmation

To make it as simple as possible, I play Rust on a new pc I built in January, and I get 75 fps avg on potato settings, which I find odd because of my current rig's potential I thought it had. If somebody could point out faults in my choice of parts please comment below as I have only a small idea as to what is wrong. I play on 1080p and live in the U.S. Thank you.

Throughout the GTA V Benchmark test, the CPU, Memory, and GPU were all around 50 percent.

- Monitor | 1920x1080 - GTA V was at max settings besides V-Sync, Frame-scaling, and Motion-Blur Strength which are all off/zero - Question: If I were to buy 2 sticks of 8gb of ram, or just buy 4 sticks of 8gb of ram instead, would it be ideal over 1 stick of 16gb of ram, or 2 sticks of 16gb of ram? After re-running the test to figure out what load all of my components were under, I will post them. Thank you for all the comments, and I apologize for not being too specific.

So last month, I built a new pc consisting of the following parts, and everything went smoothly in the building process. I decided to run some GTA V benchmarks recently at the highest settings besides frame scaling which was turned off, I had about an average of 45 fps, 60 at most. I'm very confused at these results, and I am wondering if it's just the game in general or it is my computer overall. All of these tests are with the stock configurations (I'm pretty new in the PC building world). If someone can suggest to me something I might've done wrong, I would appreciate if you did so.

I'll see what I can do, thank you for the feedback.

Since my last post, I have built that computer for myself, and it's working pretty well. My friend has recently broken his gaming laptop and is looking for a good mid range gaming pc. I have made a part list, and he seems to agree even though he has no clue what he's doing. I would happy to accept suggestions and thoughts. His budget is $1400 USD, he lives in the US (obviously), and he's looking for a gaming pc as I stated before. The list is here, and here are the specs unless you don't feel like opening the link: CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Corsair - H60 (2018) 57.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver - 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5 g Thermal Paste Motherboard: MSI - B450M GAMING PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Corsair - Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Storage 1: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage 2: Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: MSI - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING Z Video Card Case: Corsair - Crystal 280X RGB MicroATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair - RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks. I'll try to update and edit this post with suggestions that people have put in the comments.

I have listen to all of the suggestions from fellow users, and made this list, witch would be a total of $1880.96 USD. I don't mind the stretched budget. Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DirtyRift/saved/sdLXP6

Yes, as I said I'm not as experienced as I would like to be, I'll check out your point of reference for power consumption.

Ok, I'll improve my build selection on your suggestions. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it as a new builder.

Alright, I'll look into that next week. Thanks for the help!

So currently I am looking into upgrading from a not very good HP pre-built desktop to something more suitable for gaming, and would like some advice, suggestions, tips and tricks to improve my current build list. My budget as of now is somewhere in the range from $1700-$1800 USD. As evidence by the reference to US dollars, I do live in the US. Some games that I would like to run much better are: Fortnite, GTA V, Rust, and possibly buy Just Cause 4 after I do finish the build. For my build, I do not much care for appearance of the components but the performance (so if possible, you don't need to include RGB or that many flashing colors for aesthetics as it could possibly be under or beside my desk), and the same simplistic look like the case I selected if you choose to alter the case. Also, although I do not need any peripherals for current recommendations, you could branch off the budget a bit more (not change PC components) but if you want you could include a reasonably priced (possibly RGB, wired) keyboard and mouse. I am also looking for a monitor that: does not have a bulky stand that would force the keyboard/mouse back towards me, at least 24" diagonally, and fast response times. Thank you for reading to the end of this post, I appreciate your patience. Here is my current build list I have partly made with a friend but modified personally: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor $308.99 @ Amazon Motherboard Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard $115.53 @ OutletPC Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $234.99 @ Newegg Storage Inland - 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $29.99 @ Amazon Storage Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $59.89 @ OutletPC Video Card Asus - GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB ROG Strix Gaming Video Card $859.99 @ Amazon Case NZXT - H500 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case $69.99 @ B&H Power Supply EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply $59.99 @ B&H Operating System Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit $98.89 @ OutletPC Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1908.25 Mail-in rebates -$70.00 Total $1838.25 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-01-03 23:53 EST-0500 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X With Wraith Prism Cooler CPU Cooler: (Stock, comes included with CPU) Wraith Prism Cooler Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming AM4 ATX AMD Memory (RAM): G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB 2 x 16GB DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit Storage 1: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA III 6Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Storage 2: Inland Professional 240GB 3D TLC NAND SATA III 6GB/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (240G) GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Overclocked Triple-Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe Video Card Case: NZXT - H500 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case PSU: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (Maybe it might be a little too much wattage, but I'd rather be able to upgrade) Optical Drive: None Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit If my price range does not match, it's because I'm going to buy everything in this current build off MicroCenter, an actual store near me that allows me to get all of my components cheaper except the PSU and the Case. For now, this is what I have compiled. If you have any questions about my current listing, I'll see what I can do but I have a moderate understanding on what I'm doing, I'm not an expert. Thanks.
