Hello All,
I have a question on my memory. I recently built my new computer and ordered two 2x8GB (32 total) memory kits. The memory is on the approved vendor list for my motherboard but I think it was a 16x2 (not 8x4). Still, the memory CAS timing, speed, and brand is approved.
I went into my BIOS and went to AI tweaker and set the BIOS to DOCP and it picked up the memory at 3600 mhz and the correct CAS timing (17-18-18-18) at 1.35v. However, when I restarted the system, it restarted a few times, I got a safe mode message, and the BIOS went back to default settings of 2,133 mhz at 1.45 volts if I recall. I disabled DOCP, restarted, and the system runs stable at that.
That said, any thoughts? Should I not use DOCP or try a lower mhz? When I changed to DOCP I had changed the timing manually earlier instead of Auto so maybe there was a conflict with another change I made. Perhaps it's worth trying again if it seems very odd to someone more experienced why this is not working. System specs are below:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX x570 E Gaming (supports up to 128gb)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900x (not OC'd at the moment, stock)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB, bought 2, so 32 total, all 4 memory slots used) 288-Pin SDRAM (PC4-28800) DDR4 3600 CL17-18-18-38 1.35V
SSD: 980 PRO NVME M2 main, 970 storage.
PSU: EVGA SuperNova G6 1000w
OS: Windows 10
BIOS Version: Latest 4021 (latest off ASUS) - all drivers for motherboard/chipset up to date.
GPU: EVGA FTW ULTRA 3090 RTX
Tried a few games last night, installation of various drivers/browsing, apps, etc. Everything runs stable with no BSODs, etc., but I'd like to get a bit more speed out of the memory that I paid for. I know with memory you can manually override and try tweaking up a little at a time until it runs stable, but I'd like to get thoughts before playing around with things.
