New motherboard won't boot after enabling XMP

So I just built a new computer and tried overclocking the ram as it had 3000Mhz as advertised speed and I wasn't satisfied with the default of 2400MHz. So I enabled the profile and my pc couldn't boot, it tried a few times before it posted to a safe mode. Then I tried lowering the speed to 2933Mhz, didn't work either, then 2800Mhz, still didn't work, so I just kept it at 2666Mhz which did work, but I'm not satisfied at all. I tried manually adjusting the voltage to 1.4 which didn't even work for 2800Mhz, obviously there's something wrong, but what?

 

CPU: 3200G

MB: Asus TUF B450M Gaming Plus (BIOS ver: 1804, not the latest, but not the oldest)

RAM: Team Group Delta RGB 2x4Gb 3000Mhz

Honestly, the issue is probably the CPU. The 3200G is actually a Zen+ part, not a Zen 2 part. I guess you lucked out on the silicon lottery.

 

Yoiu should still try updating the BIOS to the latest version anyway, it can't hurt and might be the cause.

I had a post about this. but here is the post quick and explained.

 

Open ryzen master.

put the ram and fabrick clokc to 1500mhz leave timing auto, reboot.

Then in ryzen master put your cas latency and cas write latency to 16, reboot again. 

Tehn put your read roc column daley adn row precharge dalay to 18.

Then put your ras active time to 38 and your row cycle time to 58, reboot and test memory

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

At which step do I put the 3000Mhz?
