Games crashing

[Lidvikarn]

Hey.

I have an Asus Rog Strix b450 f gaming ii motherboard with a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor and Kingston fury renegade 3600 MHz cl26 2x16gb memory cards. When playing with docp active (3600 frequency) my games crash regularly and turning it down to 3200 resolves that issue. What I'm wondering is, why does my games crash while at frequency 3600 although my motherboard and CPU support that frequency? Should I try updating bios and the motherboards chipset drivers or what could solve this issue?

 

Thanks for any help and thoughts on the matter.

Earlier Ryzen boards (especially cheaper ones) and chips were pretty tempermental about RAM speed. It's why people used to hunt so hard for RAM that used specific dies. People were conditioned for years to be like "lol RAM is RAM" by Intel systems and then not only did Ryzen actually care about RAM speed for performance, some kits were better than others at actually hitting their rated frequency. It caused a lot of angst, I remember the r/amd subreddit in the first few months after the first Ryzen chips released in 2017 was like... 50% RAM-related threads. 

 

I had the original B450-F and I think I had my RAM at 3600mhz with a 3700X, but that was Crucial Ballistix. I can't speak to what the Fury Renegade stuff is like.

 

The good news is you probably aren't leaving any noticeable performance on the table going down to 3200.

Okay thanks for the information. At what RAM specs should i be look at in the future when combining ram with AMD CPUs? Is there a specific way to tell if this ram will work at full speed with this CPU or is it nowadays only a problem with older versions of AMD CPUs? 

 

I've had intel before and remembered then that it didn't really matter what ram you put in your system, it would just work.

Hello. I was doing the last part of living season 1 where I have to enter the mists portal, I think it's where pvp is but I had to enter for the story quest. The game told me that I need to update so I quit right there. Updated it, relaunched the game, now it crashes whenever I choose my character and it starts loading.

 

I don't even know what game you're talking about and it doesn't seem like this is directly related to what this thread is about.

 

I recommend you start a new thread in the appropriate forum with more detailed info, or get help from a community dedicated to the specific game you're having trouble with.
