Question HELP: Ram Issue

[DarylEPerez]

Hello all,
Merry Christmas and, Happy New Years to come.

I'd like to get some help on a topic, whether that is manually clocking my ram, or, guidance on steps that may be leading to my issues.

I'm sharing my system so I provide all relevant information ahead:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Elite WIFI 7 ICE (latest firmware released on Dec 19, 2024)
CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X
Ram: 64GB Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 (PC5 57600) Desktop Memory Model FF4D532G7200HC34ADC01
GPU: XFX Merc310 7900XT
Storage: Samsung 1TB nvme Pro | Samsung 2TB nvme Pro

When I first built my PC, I was able to go to bios and select XMP1 (7200) without issues, after installing my 2TB nvme today, I noticed that ram was set at 3600 when I accessed bios to change booting priority between my two nvmes.

I selected XMP1 (7200) and my computer won't load, black screen, motherboard displays CODE: 41, solid RAM light on the motherboard. I flashed my motherboard and tried again, same code.
I then selected XMP2 (6000) and my computer won't load, this time however it loads straight to BIOS and says there is an issue with my computer loading.

I set my RAM at 6800 using auto, but my latency is at 56:56:56:109, which is not where I'd like it to be for gaming.

Here is a link to photos of BIOS, CPU-Z and physical PC: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P0YwjyiHiOJvvsKzrwekZ4zZf7TfXKEu?usp=sharing

Can I please be helped on how to find the sweet spot for my ram?

It's DDR (Double Data Rate) memory, programs and BIOS show it's real frequency, so 3600MHz multiplied by two is how much?

Do you mean X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE? Your RAM is not on the compatibility list, it may not be, but it could be a problem.

Mhmm, TeamForce is “Team Group”

Hey Mike,

Question to your answer is 7200, however, please elaborate so I can understand, thank you.

To get working frequency of DDR, you have to multiply by two. So if let's say CPU-Z shows 3600 that's actually 7200MHz. That's why me measurements are in MT/s (Million Transfers per Second) which is true "Speed" of RAM not just frequency. So, 3600MHz*2=7200MT/s.

I see, yet, my timings are WAY off, 56 56 56 109, so this hits %1 lows in some of games I play.

I just purchased 64GB of these arriving today with prime: RAM
Let me know your thoughts on these sticks

Higher speeds usually have to run at higher Cas and other latencies so CPU can interpret and use them them with efficiency, that can lower it's performance and render it useless. Memory controller in 99xx Ryzen runs at 5600MHz natively and any higher is considered overclock, higher the OC, less reliable it gets.
That RAM you chose is right at the edge of that OC ability but also has EXPO instead of XMP which helps BIOS to OC efficiently and set proper parameters for Ryzen Memory controller. It should work good.
