PC crashes running XMP

[Foot Sampler]

I recently upgraded from 16GB to 32GB of RAM by adding two more sticks (yes, exact same model number). Prior to this, I was able to run my PC fine with XMP pushing the RAM from 2330 to 3200MHz. After installing the new RAM, however, I cannot do this without my PC crashing after some time.

 

Specs:

Asrock B550 motherboard

Ryzen 3700X

GTX 970

EVGA 650W PSU

disable it when you dont need it , only when your playing games , and get a ram fan from amazon , they are only like 80-200 usd

More RAM being overclocked is going to put more load on the memory controller in the CPU and potentially other components, unfortunately XMP isn't guaranteed and tends to be a pain in the ass. You can try to stabilize it by incrementally increasing the SoC voltage a little bit more to see if it gets more stable, without pushing it too far.

From my experience some RAM on AMD platforms dont like to run at their full frequency. my suggestion would be to manually ramp up the frequency until it becomes unstable. Personally I was only able to get my 3200Mhz to 2933 due to my motherboard. This is actually more common than you think
