Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

Ram: KF3600C16D4/16GX

I upgraded from Ryzen 3600 to 5600X. I have the latest BIOS and firmware drivers. With the 3600 I was able to run the RAM with XMP(3600mHz). Now with the new CPU I can't anymore.

I have crashes in chrome, BSOD and crashes to desktop etc. Errors in Prime95 and linpack. With XMP turned off the system is stable.

And the hardest I can push the ram is 3000mHz with stable results.

 

Is this normal?

Can you list full system specs?

Small chance you are pushing the PSU too hard.

 

Another thing I would look at is if your RAM is in the QVL/supported list. While it worked before if not listed it does not guarantee consistent results.


Last thing I would do is a CMOS clear to make sure the RAM trains properly with the new CPU. Then try to set XMP

 

If that doesn't work try one RAM stick and XMP. Assuming you have at least two sticks try it with both.

But mind you that the GPU is not loaded and still instable.
