Hi
just bought a couple of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600Mhz CL18 Ram Sticks, and installed on A2 & B2 slots of my Asus Prime B450m-A, my cpu is Ryzen 3400G
in BIOS, there is an option called "D.O.C.P" which is XMP , i've enabled that and selected the only available profile which is 3600Mhz Cl18 1.35V
when i go to AI Tweaker tab , there is an option called "DRAM Frequency" which got set to 3200 Mhz after i enabled the DOCP profile. when i change it to 3600 the system doesn't post and i have to go to bios and change it to 3200Mhz, i haven't checked other freqs like 3400Mhz
any solution?
 
Solution
how can i use my current kit with current speed (3200) but with lower timing (CL16) ? because i had two options when i went to store :
A. 3600Mhz CL18
B. 3200MHz CL16

i bought and now it works like B but the timing is not 16 , it's 18. can u help me to make it work as CL16 with 3200 Mhz freq?
if you want to tune it yourself, you could give zentimings read and thaiphoon burner read and post both screenshots here. Prolly i could help. Also tell which ver. are your corsair sticks, it's on the ram sickers itself, on right side under barcode. for 3400G, 3466 is attainable at CL16 with some tweaking, 3533 might be attainable too.

ok take a look at these photos (some of options u said i couldn't find and didn't change, please check and tell me should i change anything here or save it and restart my pc?):

Disable Power down mode, also start with the bigger number first. you did inputted some using the lowest number (on trrdl and s, and twtrl and s). but if you want to go straight lowest number then its fine, if it's booting then do TM5 with the steps i told above.

here is what i just did:
disabled power down mode
Tfaw changed to 32
tRC: 70
tRRDS: changed from 4 to 6
tRRDL: changed to 10
tWTRS: changed to 5
tWTRL: changed to 14
tWR: changed to 22
tRFC: changed to 630
tCWL:still 16


voltage is still 1.35
i didn't change anything but timings (SoC is auto, GFX Core Voltage is auto and etc)
anything else?

with the settings u said and 3466 the system post well but in login page of windows when i insert password and press enter, after some seconds it shows a dark blue screen with sad face saying we are collecting info u can restart after that


edit: i restarted, went to BIOS menu and changed freq from 3466 to 3400, windows booted well and opened desktop without problem, started TM.exe loaded config and restatred with admin permission, first it said u have to give admin permission to use AWB (or something like that) even though i had opened it with Admin permission but it said that idk why, then after some seconds it shows 111 errors XD and then said Your device ran into a problem we are .... with that sad face .
i set freq to 3200 with the timing u said, started the test , after 2 cycles i got about 90 errors 🙁 these numbers in the test table became red so i think most errors were for these tests: 1,4,5,6,7,8,15

Since from what i saw before you did loosen it up, you should enable 3600 xmp profile, then manually set the timings i suggested + your own changes, and set your dram voltage at 1.37v soc voltage to 1.15v. then test frequency 3466 and 3533 with your configured timings after enabling xmp 3600 and adjsuting the voltages manually.
For the errors, refer to this:

Goodluck on tuning the ram 😀 (i understand hynix AFR is a bummer so good luck with it too XD)
