RAM OC

[Nickel996]

i tried OC my ram and it just made it so my PC won't post. I reset the CMOS and it post but no OC. Is these a way i can get the OC to work. If I'd known that this would've happened i would've bought 3200 MHZ ram rather than 3600 MHZ. Is there a stable way to OC. I have dual channel 2X16. I'm willing to go 3200 or 3400 too if that's more stable.

Please mention your complete specs. Remember to do this always at the start

Besides your full specs, what did you do when trying to OC?  How did you go about it?

You might be able to raise the voltage if you want.

Well, you've a 3200MHz kit. Are you trying to push this to 3600MHz or what? I'm unable to understand.

Also, for stable RAM OC, turning on the XMP profile from the BIOS works the best.

that says 3200 I just checked the box its 3600

@Nickel996 Ryzen 7 5800X supports upto 3200MHz. Always check the supported speeds from the manufacturer website before making any purchase!!

I mean it could, but it would be unstable and would require a lot of testing and manual adjustments for it to be stable.

my r5 5600x also runs with 3600mhz. I needed to update my bios tho. before the bios upate i couldnt run 3600mhz either. MSI X570 unify is my board. Asus should have the latest bios update too.

 

Also linus himself often builds ryzen with faster ram i think. There was also a video from gamer nexus about ryzen 5000. the video is about faster ram for ryzen 5000.

It should work

I think you might be talking about checking with the motherboard manufacturer's compatible XMP list

ehh no. I was talking about the speeds the CPU's controller can handle.

Yes, but it not always works.

If your problem isnt fixed until now can u pls tell me your BIOS version ?

If you got the release bios then 3600mhz wont run no matter what. Youtubers showing ryzen 5000 did use a bios they got from amd. At least the big youtubers that got them for review. (I hope this is correct but i think i remember linus saying this once)

I was madly trying to get to run my ram at 3600mhz too and failed until bios update fixed it. 

Just watch a tutorial on how to update ur bios i failed it once and it was a huge messs.

I had a similar problem at the end of 2019.  I enabled DOCP, using my motherboard's release bios.

 

 

It was stable for a few months, but I'd occasionally get increasingly frequent memory related bluescreens.  This annoyed me so much that I ran Memtest for 24 hours and got a handful of errors.

 

I fixed it by leaving DOCP enabled, but reducing the memory frequency to 3200MHz and the FCLK to half of that and it was stable once again.

 

(Keep in mind this is still on the release BIOS)

 

I watched a video or read something and the idea occurred to me to update the motherboard's BIOS, which I did.  I reenabled the 3600MHz memory frequency and increased the fclk to 1800MHz and I haven't had a bluescreen since.

 

If you are going to update your motherboard's BIOS, be careful and make sure it's the bios for the same model of motherboard.  Being fairly new, your motherboard is likely to have two BIOSes which will save you in the event of a disaster.

Can someone send a good BIOS update tutorial

so asus has this utility that is callled ASUS AI Suite 3. with this software u can update ur bios while in windows OS.

here is a link where the update is described

Though, I've not heard of even worrying about a memory controller before

Well, you have to on Intel. Maybe not so much on AMD.

There was an entire video on the best RAM speeds for Ryzen where they went way past 3200MHz I think

Yes, but XMP not always "Just works". I had to do some manual voltage tinkering for 3000MHz XMP (Ryzen 3 2200G) for it to get stable. I think the BIOS or auto voltage might be the issue here,
