    So, here's the official update: I went and bought a new mobo. I tried to get the same model, but wasn't in stock so I ended up with an X570-F (same minus wifi I believe) and I am now running stable for the last day or so at 3600Mhz with D.O.C.P enabled. No other tweaks. Already noticed tons of small improvements. So at the end of the day I just got a shite MB originally. Probably explains the pressure issues as well, I had no such problems with this one and was up and running right away. I'm gonna return the original as a defect. Thanks to everyone who chimed in, Semo

    I'm starting to think this is the best approach, RMAing is just such a pain. Would you for sure do the motherboard first? I've no way to tell if it's the CPU or MB. Thanks for the help

    Well, I am using a different set of sticks right now. I went from the C18 to the C16 version of the TridentZ Neo 3600Mhz. So that's two sets both failing to POST above 2400Mhz. I believe I am already using the preferred DIMM slots, 2 and 4 on the X570-E from the manual (they might be called something else) PC posts up fine on one stick, I'll do a bit of performance comparison. Also, the pressure issue I had originally when using the stock cooler it ONLY worked with one stick in.

    Reporting back: Trfc set to 550 works at 2400Mhz, and fails at 2666Mhz. I then tried to up the voltage to 1.41. No go. SOC to 1.1. No go. Gear / power disabled. No go. 1.45 on DRAM voltage also no go in combination with above. I was able to increase the fail count, but it still boots and shuts off within a few seconds 3 times.

    Okay, everything at optimized defaults. Here's my SPD report from typhoon. And a screenshot of DRAM calc saying what the current vals are. SPD tab in BIOS - would that just be the timing control page? Forgive my ignorance G.Skill F4-3600C16-16GTZN.html

    Yeah I was taking a look at that. I'll set it higher manually. I've attached cpu-z screenshots running at 2400Mhz. I think it was running 15-15 something on optimized defaults @ 2133Mhz. I can grab those too if that helps. I'll go and update the bios (I did once, maybe this is pretty new). Thanks for the protip about the screenshots haha, I guess I should have looked closer at the hotkeys.

    I've attached "screenshots" (please excuse the quality) of the optimized defaults as well as the working 2400Mhz clock that you suggested above I should clarify that I am getting better frames than that nowadays, but only 60-80 whereas I used to get around 120-140 like in OP. I'm not sure if that could all be attributed to faster memory speeds... I just went and checked on every PSU cable in my build, they all seem solid semo

    I have not changed any other settings, even after setting optimized defaults it seems to be 2 failures before it goes to safe mode (it doesn't actually fail on defaults, I mean its set to 2 failures). Also the boots fail very quickly, within a few (maybe 5) seconds of power on. So the process is relatively quick.

    I press save, it goes and tries to boot twice (both fail starting the RAM i assume), then back into BIOS (misconfiguration caused your computer to fail to POST, reset settings etc).

    That is what I tried, next step up from 2400mhz is 2666mhz and it fails to POST. With gear / power disabled as well, same result. When it fails, it tries twice, looks like the RAM lights don't even come on and then reboots into BIOS to reset settings. Thanks for the fast responses by the way

    Hi again! New RAM just came in, and lo and behold... failure to post with X.M.P (DOCP) - using the same methodology as above I'm still only able to POST at 2400Mhz. 1.4100 on DRAM voltage and 1.100 on SOC. Haven't messed with gear / power down yet... But it's not looking promising. Maybe my CPU is bunk. I am going to try DRAM calculator again I suppose. Edit: When I was originally setting up this PC, I would fail to POST until I loosened the CPU cooler. Maybe that has something to do with it? Back then I also removed it and checked for any bent pins, did not notice anything to the untrained eye. I was able to run XMP profile for a couple weeks at like 1.4 DRAM voltage after that as well, until it randomly crashed and failed to boot. Semo

    Thanks for the recommendations - I ordered the F4-3600C16D-32GTZN set ($300 ouch). Hopefully it works out better for me than this set. I'm trying to see if Amazon will take a return for it... Meanwhile I'll give this a few more attempts. Appreciate the help, I got rush shipping and will let you know once that shows up! Semo

    Hey Shrimp thanks for the reply, sorry for the late response things have been a bit nuts around here lately. That's unfortunate, I'll admit that's why I bought it - sounded like a good fit. I was able to try these settings, and the highest I can get a POST is with the target freq. at 2400mhz with D.O.C.P enabled. So that's what I'm running currently at the timings for the set (18-22-22-42). I did notice that it is running at 2T though, and the settings I've been going for all have recommended 1T. I'm willing to drop money on a new set if that would give me a better chance here, but I'm going to give this a bit more of a try seeing if there's anything I can do to get it higher than 2400mhz. FLCK is matching at 1200. Nothing has worked so far Appreciate the detailed response, Semo

    Any tips? I've been messing with it since Saturday and have not been able to get anything running, even at 3000mhz. I'm starting to give up, not sure if it is the RAM, CPU, or MB.

    Hey yall, I recently put together a new rig for myself based on a 3900x - decided to jump the intel ship this year. I am having a hell of a time getting my memory stable at anything other than the default of 2133mhz. Parts: AMD 3900X Asus Strix X570-E G.SKILL TridentZ Neo 3600Mhz C18 (F4-3600C18D-32GTZN) I had it running for a couple of weeks on XMP (DOCP) profile and it randomly froze and will not boot again now unless I reset to defaults. I've taken a pretty large hit on FPS in games like Tarkov. So I've been trying to do as much research as possible, and have tried most of the alternate values that the DRAM calculator gives (especially for procODT). I have also tried a SAFE profile for running it at 3200 and it fails to post in all scenarios. Originally when installing my CPU / RAM it would fail to post until I loosened the CPU cooler a bit. Do I have shitty memory? Shitty CPU? I'm also aware that I'm not the most knowledgeable on memory overclocking, and may have messed up already by getting C18. I admit I am out of my depth here, and was hoping to just slap on the XMP profile and be off. I am willing to purchase a new set at this point if it is what I must do... I am pretty confident that it is Hynix CJR memory based on the taiphoon output (attached) but I have read plenty online about some Trident Z Neo sticks being b-die. I know this can be hard to troubleshoot online, but maybe there is something obvious that I am missing or can try. Any help or tips greatly appreciated, Semo Update: I went from getting about 120-140fps in EFT to about 30-40 today. Not sure if related to above or some windows update.
