How do I increase the memory frequency?

[DirtyRift]

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.

Are you overclocking your CPU as well? 3600mhz isn't easy to achieve on Ryzen.. I'm using Trident Z RGB 3600 C16 and I normally run it at 3466 c15 just so I don't run into any issues.. I'm still in testing phases myself, though.. I'm gonna try 3600mhz again.. But I have other problems I'm trying to narrow down.. 

 

If you a have a CPU OC, I found it easier to set the BIOS to default and then ONLY apply the settings for the RAM. Save everything and restart.. Boot into windows and then restart and set your CPU OC in BIOS.. I have the Crosshair VII and I can't set both at the same time (strong overclocks..) for some reason and I'm on the latest BIOS..

I'm not currently overclocking my CPU right now.

You can't just set frequency without changing voltage and timings. Just enable XMP and see how that goes first.

I hope that's what he's doing.. 

 

I would try that.. HOWEVER.. I do not use XMP on mine.. I use presets that came with my board/BIOS and then adjust the voltage myself so it's not super high.. Or you can use Ryzen Calculator to enter everything manually.. Some reason I have problems settings XMP, but not with manually adjusting things myself to achieve the same results..

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.

ryzen is not quad channel compatible?

you will never get 3600!!! try to set it up man to 3200mhz!
