Hello,

Finished my build today, I'm using an MSI MEG X570 Unify and a 5800X with an RTX 3080.

My pc doesn't post if I enable XMP. I get 07 and must clear cmos. I'm using the latest bios that was released yesterday I believe.
My ram is G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600 PC4-28800 32GB 2x16GB CL16 .

Since then I managed to run the ram at 3200mhz 1.35v 18, 18, 22, 22, 42 .

Anyone else having problems with XMP and 5000 series with maybe other Msi boards or this one?
Kind of an annoying situation, I'm unsure if I got a bad ram kit or if it's due to the bios.

EDIT: The beta bios listen here as of 10/11/20 seems to have fixed it for most people!

XMP is an overclock and is not always guaranteed. it's a profile that has been tested on kits of RAM like yours and in theory, "should work" but all RAM is not created equal. your best bet is to see how close you can get the rated speed with a little tweaking or get a different kit. I wouldn't get to hung up on it.

Glad that i am Not the only one 😉
Same Board 5900x and CMW32GX4M2Z3600C18
The xmp Profile worked with ryzen 3100, so it is not the Board or RAM here. Hoping for an Update from msi.

Also run them now on 3200 and cinebench r20 achieves only 6200 instead of "reference 8400+"
Not Sure if this is only due to poor RAM speed and timings

Very interesting. I'm facing the same problem.
My config is MSI MEG X570 Unify, Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3090 FE. But my memory XMP is DDR4-3200CL14, and it works without problems with XMP. I'm getting code 07 when I try to overclock it to DDR4-3600CL16, although I didn't have any problems even with DDR4-3600CL14 with the same memory modules when I was using Ryzen 3900XT.

Hello guys,
same Problem here:
  • X570 Unify
  • G.Skill 3600 4x8Gb (16-16-16-36)
  • Ryzen 5 5600X
I had a call with the MSI Support and they told me, AMD supports just 3200Mhz and the Ryzens have a new Mem-Controller.
I have to wait until of the release of the next Agesa-Update.

Solution from MSI: Reduce Memory-Speed to 3200Mhz

If ASUS and Gigabyte works, I will sell my MSI Unify X570.
 
Hi guys.
Same issue with me, Ryzen 5900X, 2x 16GB G. Skill Trident Neo 3600 C16 GTxxxNC, MSI MEG x570 Ace - but if I'm not mistaken, it only started manifesting after upgrading the Chipset/Lan/Audio drivers but it was probably the chipset. At first boot, I enabled XMP profile 2 and everything was fine - the clocks are indicated as 1800 MHz (x2 = 3600 Mhz), was able to install windows, drivers, etc. After installing the chipset driver I noticed it didn't start anymore - and the code "07" is indicated on the MSI LED.

Is it possible to downgrade the AMD Chipset version?

You get this code before OS even starts loading, so drivers are irrelevant at this point.
Maybe something else changed?

Hmm, makes sense. But I swear it worked earlier - the only thing I did was install windows/chipset/gpu/lan/audio drivers and ran TimeSpy. I tried clearing the CMOS and only enabling the XMP 2 profile but it won't work anymore.

Does TimeSpy show the memory I ran at? This was my result:

I will run it again, now without XMP and look at what memory speed is written there.
 
Just saw this user using the same memory @3600mhz on the same motherboard with a 5900x. No idea how he managed it
I noticed that fixing fclk (Infinity Fabric clock) to 1600Mhz allows me to start with DDR4-3600, but uclk (memory controller clock) is reduced to 900Mhz then, so it doesn't worth it.

Now I cannot boot with XMP 2 enabled, and can confirm based on the previous post that XMP 2 worked for me once, though I am not sure what is causing it not to work anymore.
Could you try XMP, but reduce fclk to 1600Mhz, and rerun the benchmark. I wonder if the result will be different from the original one.
 
I have same issue with MSI x570 prestige creation, 5900x. TridentZ neo f4-3600c16d-32-gtznc will boot only on default (2133 mhz), XMP profile doesnt work. With my prior 3900x and 3900xt 3800 mhz, cl 16/ 1900mhz fclk on 1.380 V worked flawlessly. I have tried 4 sticks of corsair vengeance lpx 3200 cl 16, (propably bad dies) b-dies. It boots on xmp, but noting more (timings nor frequency). I havent tried 3900xt on new BIOS though. But was using it on previous beta BIOS, so i guess it should handle it on current version too.

Have you installed the chipset drivers from MSI site or AMD directly? MSI chipset drivers seems to be little dated. I am on them too, and lot of MSI users has this issue, it seems....
 
I got it to work with XMP1 and boot again, but whenever I restart, it will end up with code 07. I had to hard reboot 2x before it would boot again.

The problem seems to be intermittent. I will try to get MemTest to run to see if it was my RAM (it is new).

MSI still needs to fix something I guess because those coming from Ryzen 2 with an old RAM cannot boot with XMP on Ryzen 3 (one reddit thread I found - View: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/jpd53k/response_from_msi_support_regarding_xmp_profiles/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
)
 
Do you guys have BIOS with latest AMD AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.1.0.0 Patch C code ? Instead of 1081 ?
In the past AGESA had a lot to do with memory and stability.

I have this latest bios. It seems like it is still in beta, though, so maybe that is why as early adopters we will still have issues.

You should try memtest.
Like most of you I could not get past 3200 mhz or else I cannot post. So I've settled with running 3200mhz cl14 since I could post like that.

I launched the game 'Control' with RTX on max settings with the ram at the 'stable' 3200mhz. Game ran wonderfully for about 3 minutes, after that I got this:

I launched the game again, this time I lasted like 2 minutes and got this:

After that I launched the game Watchdogs Legion and ran the benchmark. I could only finish the benchmark once, all tries after I would crash seconds after starting.

Finally I opened borderlands 3 and ran the built in benchmark while keeping gpu and cpu monitor software on the oother monitor. The temps and stats looked normal when suddenly after I got this:

So after all this I decided to run memtest86 with the ram at my 'stable' 3200mhz. This is what I got:

After doing the test I went to the bios and changed the ram to it's default settings of 2133mhz, ran memtest again and got 0 errors.
I've also launched 3dmark, and even played borderlands 3 for around 1 hour with no issues.

I suggest you guys to run memtest and see if your memory is stable with your current oc.
