Question 3600 MHz RAM running at 2100 mhz.... HELP!

[ShavedKitty]

I recently built a new PC,

I tried overclocking the memory in the BIOS and when I reset my computer after I overclock it turns off and on right away then into safe mode. Shows my memory is running at 2133 MHz when it is rated for 3600?? HELP! Everything is up to date. Messed with some other settings but I am assuming it is a voltage issued that I am missing?

• ROG X-570 E motherboard
• Ryzen 7 2700x CPU( waiting for the 9 )
• Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800)
• Custom EK Liquid Loop
• 1200 watt PSU
• ROG Strix 590 GPU
• 1 TB Samsung Evo Plus M.2

Just turn XMP on.

What is the model number of that kit? 3600mhz is going to be hard to achieve with a 2nd gen ryzen chip, 3200mhz would be more realistic. If that is a 4 stick kit I highly doubt you will be hitting 3600mhz no matter what you do.

The 2700x does not support 3600mhz memory...the best you'll likely see is around 3400mhz with a good chip...higher than that requires unsafe voltage to be stable.

1 update motherboard BIOS
2 Dram on A2+B2 socket
3 just use XMP first . not overclocking

Thanks for all the help! Still learning beyond the basics.

2700x will not give you that speed, probably your PC is in a boot loop cuz you are trying to achieve 3600MHz, yes your MB supports that speed, but the CPU not, AMD rated speeds for second-gen is 2933MHz, but of course you can go higher, just do few simple things, go into the bios, overclocking tap just enable either XMP or D.O.C.P labeled on your Asus MB, just enable the DOCP/XMP profile but after go to your speed and click on it and select it 3200mhz hit save and exit and tell us what happened, ok ?!

Thanks for all the great help I turned the Ai Overclock Tuner to D.O.C.P. then switched the memory frequency to 3200MHz and it is running GREAT! No problems with the PC shutting off and on right away. Very happy with the results until I get a new CPU. Thanks for all the help!

My 2700x worked fine with 3600MHz RAM on my MB, it even achieved somewhat better performance than now on 3700x.

Cool, I glad that works. You can push from 3200Mhz up, by 100mhz to check to what frequency your ram will be stable ofc.
