Hey everyone i could use some help

 

So after 8(ish) years of an i7-3770 it was time for an upgrade..... I bought a Aorus x570 master with a R9 3950x and 32gb 3200 Coarsair Vengence Pro RAM, corsair HX750i, a couple of Firecuda 500gb M.2 drivs and topped it with a Noctua NH-D14. Its built works fine and the difference is beyond ridiculous... very happy but

 

Everything i had seen previously said one of the first things to do was jump into the BIOS and enable the XMP profile in order to allow the RAM to run at 3200mhz, i enabled the XMP profile in the BIOS it seemed to see the RAM speeds fine but the system became unstable and wouldn't even get through installing windows. I reset the BIOS and have since installed the OS and all my apps etc and everything is top draw but im not using the RAM to its potential. Until the new case appears and i water cool the rig im not planning to overclock anything but i didn't think id get issues just enabling the XMP profile.

 

Anything obvious i am missing or am i goint just have to bring the speed up until i find a sweet spot?

 

Cheers

Update the bios

Set the soc to 1.1 

Dram to 1.35 

Try 3600 

If it boots use memtest86 and OCCT to verify that it's stable 

Good luck ;)

Welcome to the forum!

If you're on two memory sticks, make sure they're in 2nd and 4th DIMM slots on the board. If you already had them in those slots (or even otherwise), try what @TofuHaroto suggested.

Cheers guys

 

Yes im using 2 sticks, they are in A2 & B2, the board labels them as the first two slots to use so i am happy they are right.

 

I'll give those BIOS settings a try.....
