Question No option to enable DOCP ?

[SameyyEU]

I have had my ram for a while now and have never been using it at its advertised speed of 3600mhz. I have tried the bios today to enable docp to boost the clock speed but I am not given the option to do so? Where do I go from here?

I'm running a R9 5900x on an X570-F Strix Board.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? Ram kit you're working with?

Memory settings is under Ai tweaker. Bottom right corner should be button for Ezmode/Advanced mode. Choose advanced mode to get Ai tweaker tab and other stuff.

Make sure memory are in slots 2 and 4 from cpu as these are the primary slots for two sticks.

I have 4x8gb, I don't have anything about dram frequency anywhere on the ai tweaker page, nor anything about docp

It's in there somewhere.

See guide from Asus.

Best of luck getting 4 DIMMs to work at XMP 3600MT/s. It's often achievable, but not always.

Some motherboard/CPU/RAM combinations might need to be clocked a bit slower than the advertised speed, e.g. 3400MT/s, 3200MT/s or even 3000MT/s, for stable operation. This sometimes requires manual tweaking.

By the way, the actual clock frequency of DDR4-3600 memory is 1800MHz, not 3600MHz.

DDR (Double Data Rate) memory shifts data on the rising edge and the falling edge of the clock signal, so you get double (two) transfers per clock cycle.

Hence 1800MHz x 2 transfers/cycle = 3600MT/s (Mega Transfers per second).
