What hardware is the problem!?

[knifeproz]

I built a new PC this year in July during the Ryzen 3000 Launch. I got a 3900x Ryzen CPU, a ASUS Hero Crosshair VIII (WI-FI) motherboard, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (4x8GB) RAM, 1070 GPU & a ASUS THOR PSU 850W.

I have no overclocks.

I started getting BSODs after the first week I got the PC regarding memory corruption, so I went back to Microcenter and they swapped my RAM. Thought my issue was over. Got more BSODs after about a month in. I downloaded Memtest 86+ and ran it stick by stick, showing me I had 1 bad stick. So I was going to RMA it. I kept 3 sticks in, PC kept BSOD still. So I ran the Memtest again on each stick, in different slots. Found that my slot 3 was causing sticks to fail repeatedly. Got a 3800x for testing that its not CPU mem controller. Still shows failing sticks. Won't post at all with Dual Channel with stick in slot 1 and 3.
Got a new motherboard (ASUS HERO CROSSHAIR VIII non-wifi), put in my 3900x. Slot 3 still failing on the same set of RAM. Try different stick. Still failing on slot 3. Sometimes won't post. Put in the 3800x as well, same results.
So what gives? 2 motherboards, 2 CPUS and we're still at a failing state. For some reason, slot 3 is the only one failing. So what is my problem here? Only thing I haven't tried yet is getting ANOTHER set of sticks. I even borrrowed my friends 3900x to test a 3rd CPU and I still have the same set of issues. Id say memtest is lying to me about the results, but my system is definitely not stable.
Can it be my power supply somehow, or do I have a different problem here? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

BIOS is updated on the current (non-wifi) motherboard & the wifi motherboard. I'm running on 1201 BIOS.

Chipset has been updated. Temps are good on the system, not overheating.

Maximus VIII is not going to work with the 3900X... you mean the Crosshair VIII?

 

cooler mounting pressure too high or low? Something stuck behind the board

You're totally correct, it is the crosshair. However, there's definitely nothing stuck behind it, I double checked when installing the second motherboard. The mounting pressure I'm not 100% sure of but its the standard cooler that comes with the AMD processors, I'd figure its got the right pressure on it

That plague of AMD CPU & RAM compatibility is so sad

Is this a known things lately? Are there certain RAM sets that are just incompatible?

Yeas it's a known sensitivity between the RAM (speed) and the CPU

I have a look almost everyday here in the forum and others, "almost" everyday i see an issue with an AMD CPU and RAM.

Thats good to know, is there anything in particular that you've found that you could point me to? I've seen a lot of people going G-Skill Trident instead, or even Dominators.
The speed that I have currently is 3200Mhz, i should've specified in my post

The speed is good, anything above 3000-3200Mhz is ok, but there is not any discrimination in brands.

Hm, so there definitely has to be a adifferent issue at hand that I'm dealing with, but I may try andother set of RAM and see if I can get better results. Thank you for the input!
