Choppy Graphics

[jungo1189]

I am having issues with choppy graphics(only half the time, a reboot will give me a 50/50 chance of good graphics) and i am having issues with freezing in restart screen on windows 10. I can do a shutdown then boot up fine. I have updated every driver, uninstalled then reinstalled drivers to be safe, ran malware scans, updated bios, turned off fast start, etc. to no avail. My set up is below.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

MSI 2070 Super Ventus

MSI x570 Gaming edge plus wifi

EVGA 1000W Gold Modular

Corsair Vengeance 16gb ram(x4)

Anyone have any ideas if i have missed a setting or what else it could be?

what actual ram do you have? 16gb x4 can be difficult for the memory controller to handle from what I've heard. I would run a memtest to see, but it almost sounds to me like half the time your motherboard auto timings are coming in unstable. Just a thought

If you run the ram at default jdec setting instead of xmp/docp do you have this issue. Not a permanent solution, just might help you identify the problem

 

edit: I was cruising the motherboard's memory support list and there are a tonne of corsair 16gb module kits that don't support 4 sticks according to manufacturer. Seems to be the higher speed kits especially but not exclusively

 

Get the product identifier code off your ram, programs like cpuid can read this so you don't have to pull memory sticks

Check it against the list on the webpage for this mobo under (product services) -> (compatibility) -> (memory by RX 3X00)

I checked and have full 64gb of ram according to bios and performance monitor, didnt want to mess with changing from xmp, checked to verify the motherboard does support the memory cards and it does, hallelujah(almost gave me a heart attack), ended up tweaking a couple settings on ram cards and seems like everything is working fine now. Im wondering if something with the memory cards and factory preset in bios were almost fighting with one another since iCue software messes with the ram as well. The wonderful world of computer problems. Thank you for the assist with this

Even if it's not listed as supported it should still detect the full amount of ram, just means you'll potentially have stability issues when trying to use an unverified hardware config.

 

Stability is a concern when working with higher capacity dimms, they aren't always supported in a 4 stick configuration at rated speed. If they weren't stable at default settings you probably could have gotten them stable by manually doing your timings, or just dropped speed down a step while keeping your xmp timings. There is actually some real world performance benefits to manually doing your timings, especially with ryzen, but if it's stable now and your happy there's no point in messing with it.

4x16 is just a lot of ranks of ram for the controller to handle at once so it isn't always stable at higher memory speeds. Typically 16gb sticks of ram are dual rank, 2x16gb sticks per memory channel is 4 ranks on each channel. There are performance benefits to more ranks as long as the memory controller doesn't get overrun, so if you have to drop speed a hair to get stable don't stress out too much over it.

 

edit: out of curiousity, which corsair vengeance kit do you have? There are a few 16gb module kits for ddr4
