Audio crackling while using XMP

[SnowyVamp]

So i turned on xmp for my trident z gskill royal cl18 3600 16gb 

And i just got audio crackling all over the place and it just annoys me allot and when i turn xmp off its just all fine 

 

Also im using

Ryzen 9 3900x

ASrock x570 steel legend 

RX480 strix OCed to 1440

GSkill trident z royal cl18 16GB

 

Plz i need help with this

These are very unrelated things on opposite ends of the motherboard. If it isn't an issue at the OS level I would try punching in the frequency/timing/voltage manually. See if it behaves differently.

 

Are you using the rear ports for your audio or the front panel audio via the HD Audio cable you'd attach to your motherboard. Sometimes that acts as an antenna and picks up static.

I use the rear digital port and im not that great with things like that sadly

Is it constant or intermittent? I had a similar issue a long time ago but I never traced it back to having anything to do with RAM.

Well whenever i listen to music or watch a movie its doing that and when i play a game its constant like its crashing but it really is not

If it is not software related, maybe need to increase your VCCIO/VCCSA a tiny bit. Could be system agent needs a bump?

When I experienced this problem it just randomly went away. That's not ideal for you to hope that happens though.

 

If it is somehow RAM related I wonder how it would behave if you booted with only one stick with DOCP enabled.

This might be relevant to your interests.

Also using a Steel Legend motherboard.

tl;dr: enable xmp but lower memory multiplier a bit, or update your BIOS or both. Maybe increase DRAM voltage up to 1.4v.

 

Ryzen and memory have a long history of problems, this seems to just be another page to the book.

soooo i just found out when i put my cpu to 100 percent load it just overflows with static and seems like it makes some kind of static discharge to everything in my system it surprises me that it didn't fry anything yet lol but yeah when i put my mem to 3600 1.4 volts it still does that and when its on 2144 it doesnt do that at all

did you update your BIOS? 1.4 DRAM shouldn't harm anything

have you tried manually entering in RAM timings?

yeah but it makes no difference i might go back to intel .-. i got 3600 ram but can't use that like eh

Scratch my previous statement. It's a complicated thing between AMD, Intel, and motherboard partners. DOCP is ASUS's equivalent to Intel XMP. You have an ASRock board which you said yourself you enabled XMP so ASRock calls it XMP, apparently Gigabyte calls it EOCP.

 

TL:DR Never mind I'm just talking about enabling XMP with one stick installed. See if it's behaviour changes.

Try it at 3466? 3200?

i fixed it by setting my ram to 3534 MHz

Interesting...that's definitely not suppose to happen especially if you're only running in single channel mode. Did you see a BSOD prior to the restart? Did it give an error code?

Ah, the AMD experience.

 

Great value, just gotta tinker with it more.
