Ryzen 5 2600X not OC
B450 Aorus Pro
G.Skill Ripjaws 2x8GB 3.200MHz currently running on 2.133MHz.
EVGA 550W G3
1660Ti Gaming X


So i own this system for 4 months.
From the first day i went into BIOS and i enabled the XMP Profile(3.200MHz/CL16) which caused a lot of crashes and Blue Screens during gaming.

With XMP Disabled the PC runs ok,but you know...I bought these sticks for a reason.If i'm supposed to run on 2.133MHz i could save some money and get the 2060 (GPU) instead.

So today i downloaded Thaiphoon,DRAM Calculator and Ryzen Timing Checker.
I tried to overclock the sticks to 3.200(CL14) then 3.000 and 2.933MHz using Calculator's numbers after inserting everything correctly(type of motherboard,Number of Modules etc)...Every try failed.

The system runs good at 2.133MHz (15-15-15-15-36) and 1.2V but anything above it causes 3 resets after exiting BIOS and then automatically goes back to the same.

Please Help with any ideas :)

Run memtest86 and i you have any errors try individually one stick at the time and identify the faulty one. If you don't pass the test with all the RAM installed (With XMP enabled), try to set manually the frecuency and timings and 1.35V or 1.4V to the DRAM Voltage. Try to run at XMP the RAMs in different slots. If it all fails rma the RAMs.

Now the CPU and the Mobo is the main focus. Do you have any friend to test the ram or the Cpu in another motherboard?.
To answer your previous post,I performed stress tests for CPU,GPU,Drives and everything did fine.
Unfortunately i don't have any friends or someone in general who can do that job.

Set the XMP profile and try to bruteforce your memory to train by bootlooping your pc until it posts. If this doesnt work, adjust your Dram Voltage to 1.4v and the training voltage as well to see if your memory can train properly at higher voltage. If successful drop the voltage gradually until you cant post anymore

Sorry for answering so late, I was in the office. If al stress tests are stable and the components except for RAM works fine, try to get it stable increasing the voltage and the training voltage as @SAINT.LUPIN said. Try one and watch if it's stable, try different slots also, If you can't make it work at 3200Mhz frecuency just get new ones with your warranty assuming those rams are new. Those options are obvious but you have done the tests already for all your components.
