Question P95 crashes and my cpu and ram have issues, help!

[vortex01]

I have a 13600k, 3090, MSI Z790-A, and G.Skill Trident z 7200mhz cl32 2x16gb. My frequent game crashes and cod and bf2042 crashes i think are due to ram, i looked up one error code and it came back with memory stability. What a safe(r) speed i shoud set my mem to, i have it on xmp, windows has yet to bsod but gaming is my issue cause the crashes are getting annoying.

I tried setting ti to 6800 but i couldn't even post so i loaded xmp and awaiting a fix

The maximum officially supported speed for your CPU is DDR5-5200. So you could try setting it to that.

saw that but i was told to not really go by that and test xmp and go down or up from there, trying to see if that is true or not as 5200 would leave me missing out on 2000mhz according to my sticks

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Memory Scaling Benchmark

Pairing fast RAM with a top-end CPU is a logical choice, but what happens when that processor is a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 128 MB of cache?...

Assuming this is directly translatable to your setup (which it isn't, but I'm too lazy to see if anyone else did similar testing on an i5-13600K), you're losing about 5% performance across the board. There are some outliers, but that 38% increase in transfer rate doesn't really amount to much.

Also the results are kind of skewed anyway because the DDR5-7200 test has a much lower latency than the DDR5-5200 one, and that's likely where the performance gains were.

EDIT: In any case, the point of testing at DDR5-5200 is to prove your system is capable of at least being within spec. If it still isn't, then we have a much bigger problem.
