I have a Tuf Gaming MB. X570 Chipset with Ryzen 3700X CPU.
I was using the DODC profile (same as XMP(?). Sorry I'm a noob).
I upgraded my 32GB (2x16) of F4-3600C19-16GSXKB GSkill Ram to have 4 sticks and it stopped posting.

Packaging says it should be handling 3600Mhz at CL 19-20-20-40 (Not the best I hear... but w/e).
After reading some posts on this forum I waited for the bios to load w/ safe defaults (2133mhz), loaded DODC profile (sets memory speed to 3600mhz), and then started stepping it down until I got it stable.
So
- @ 3600 - No post
- @ 3400 - No post
- @ 3200 - Boots, but windows memory diagnostic test finds errors
- @ 3000 - Boots and windows memory diagnostic test does not find any errors.
So now it's running @ 3000mhz with DODC timings.

My questions are:
- Anything I can try to get the speed to advertised?
- Should I try to lower the timings, like 17-19-19-35? (Totally making this up BTW)
- Anything I can do w/ the voltage?

Thanks guys.
 
Solution
Advertised speed is for 2 sticks unless you bought this as a 4 stick kit which I doubt since Gskill doesn't offer that in cl19 for your motherboard.
