3700x RAM Issue

Tyranade · September 2, 2019

I just built myself a new system (Minus GPU) And I have a

Ryzen 3700x Stock Clocks and Cooler (Waiting for my H100i v2 AM4 Mounting Bracket to arrive)
16GB Corsair Vengence LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
Gigabyte x570 Gaming X
HX850i
Samsung 970 Evo Plus
(I kept my) EVGA 1070 SC.

and whenever I enable XMP after 10 - 30 minutes every game I am playing at the time crashes.

I did some googling and "CMK16GX4M2B3200C16" is on the Gigabyte QVL and CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 is on the AMD QVL for Ryzen as version 5.39 and I checked my modules and I have version 4.32 so I was wondering if that was causing the issue. I delieve I have Single Rank sticks but the QVL I believe lits the Dual Rank one as compatible.

Motherboard QVL AMD QVL JEDEC Info

If I enter the XMP timings 16 - 18 - 18 - 36 but dont change any sub timings and put it at 1.35v like with XMP games do not crash. I would rather like to have XMP enabled and was wondering the the revision of my RAM (4.32) is the issue here.

I was thinking about trying these https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-HX432C16PB3K2-16-Predator-DDR4/dp/B01GCWQ8VO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=HX432C16PB3K2&qid=1567457643&s=computers&sr=1-1&th=1 to see if I can get XMP to work but they are not listed on the Gigabyte QVL but are listed here https://media.kingston.com/pdfs/hx-product-memory-ddr4-amd-ryzen-and-hx-compatibility-us.pdf

Got latest bios on the mobo? Ram compatibility changes quite a bit especially if you're still on an older one.

First thing I did was update the BIOS.

I just hope it isn't something CPU related like the memory controller being funky. I just want to get a kit that works with XMP on which im hoping is possible.
