Hey! I post my setup with a photo.

I tried getting help from "Komplett" Where i bought my PC, but i find alot more good answears here. They run at 2400 Mhz now, i want 3200. (edit from 3300)

my setup: View: https://imgur.com/a/xmIPmEH


I found this thread: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/how-to-achieve-3200mhz-on-rog-strix-b450-f.3530269/ - but that guy had same processor but i have "X" Version, so not sure if i should change something else..

When i tried changing to Profile 1 in bios. i got a bluescreen when i booted again saying windows needed repair.

Instead of me googling for hours i decided to make a post to all you PC wizards to help me out! Should i try the bios settings in the post up above? or anyone have a solution :) I tried to ONLY swap MHZ speed to 3200, then i couldnt boot properly.

Thanks in advance!

I would NOT use Corsair Vengeance LPX with a Ryzen PC.
For whatever reason there are a LOT of posts here and on other tech forums of people having issues getting the Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM to work properly with a Ryzen CPU.

It is very possible that 3000 MHz is as good as you will get with 4 sticks of RAM installed.
That RAM is supposed to work at 3200 with a 4 stick kit installed.
But the RAM you show listed is actually 2 separate 2 stick kits which are NOT guaranteed to work at 3200.
That is why companies sell a 4 stick KIT which they test and state will all work together at the rated speed.

As far as the Performance Enhancer Setting , I would leave that on Auto for now.
This is info about the Performance Enhancer Settings that I...

NOTE:

Why im asking here, is because you guys have solutions. they want me to send in motherboard to ASUS incase its defect. The fact is ive used it for a week. it works ALL good. They just dont want to try to do anything else than change profile.

So ive seen people found solutions on similar issues here, so thats why i ask :)

Yeah i linked that one! Is that the answear? do i just put into the exact same settings as posted in the BIOS picture there and try?
yeah i saw that after i posted that it was the same. YOu said you want 3300mhz? IN order to do that you will have to adjust Voltages and everything manually. The DOCP is the auto overclock setting for your mobo, and that auto clocks it to 3200mhz using proper settings. in order to get to 3300mhz you will need to adjust voltage, however 100mhz isnt going to be this crazy increase, so you should just settle for 3200mhz that you can get. no need to push it 100mhz for no gain. I deleted them as they were irrelevant to what you need.

Ok, so in order to get 3200 - What exactly do i do? As i said i tried to manually put higher but it didnt work. So do i need to change anything else? On that AI tweaker picture on the other forum post - in my BIOS everything is Auto now..

Also additional "Stupid" question. Why doesnt the "profile 1" Solution work in this , or other situations

And ofcourse, i ment 3200 not 3300. sorry

In order to get 3200mhz just turn on DOCP. Go to AI Tweaker Tab and use this <-- this is the picture you need for reference. That should work

Ok cheers. will try those inputs when i get home.

Also, why did not putting the "XMP" profile to Profile 1 work? Thats when i got bluescreen thing saying i needed to fix PC. (that was the solution Komplett came with)

Possibly because its not the right profile for what you have. i would just do what worked for that person as they say they have the exact same board and ram and everything else. the CPU doesnt matter when it comes to your ram in terms of X or regular.

Ok. So just the exact same thats on there.

also, i think its odd that i google 5minute and get replied here with a solution and ive tried to chat with the sellers for a long time and they want me to send it in. Sorry for the bad english ive been stressed :p

What BIOS version do you have ?
Version 2901 or 3003 should work best with your 3600x.
And just to be clear I posted that BIOS image but I have G.Skill TridentZ RGB16GB 3200 MHz (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) on that MB and have BIOS version 2901.
You have HyperX HX432C16PB3K2/16 which is also on the Asus Memor yQVL so it should work at 3200 using DOCP.

Make sure the RAM sticks are in Slots A2 and B2 (2nd and 4th from the CPU Socket).

If it doesn't work at 3200 then I would Run Memtest86 on that RAM kit to see if you have a faulty RAM stick.

Put one RAM stick in SLOT A2 and test it, then do the same for the 2nd stick.
