[SOLVED] RAM will not OC

[gabe19]

I cannot get my brothers pc to run his RAM at 3600mhz. We built it pretty recently, and it was actually running with the bios the board had. We paired a 5800x with an x570 aorus elite (ryzen 3000 ready not 5000), hence the surprise the board was bios ready and booted. We updated to f36e because it was rather unstable for gaming and L3 cache was registering at 16mb rather than 32mb. EVERYTHING surprisingly went butter smooth and we got it right back up and running nicely. Everything seems smooth besides the RGB which we expected and haven’t gone too deep into anyway. So obviously I tried oc XMP profile 1. It’s on. It absolutely shows up, and at first it seemed like it would run 3600mhz in the general info (cpu/ram speed and whatnot) but not in the info of the RAM. We tried rebooting with XMP profile 1 a couple of times to get it to shore correctly and after the third or fourth time the general info went back to showing 2133mhz RAM speed. So we tried changing the voltage settings for the ram to 1.35v rather than 1.2v, which didn’t help. Eventually I easy oc’d the cpu and it’s running at 4.1ghz. RAM speed went up a little but not much. Now both the RAM info and general info show RAM running at 2333. I’m too new to building and tweaking bios settings to figure this out on my own. I can’t find anything on this specific situation and equipment and was wondering if anyone had advice. Ive heard ryzens max ram speed with the imc is 3200mhz but ive also read otherwise and seen builds with faster RAM. Sorry for the long question but I’m confused and any other RAM Ive changed the XMP profile for just worked.

try to clean the ram contacts, and make sure it is on slot 2 and 4, boot up to bios, load defaults, and activate xmp, then save and exit.

we tried both channels, we can try cleaning the ram slots and sticks but we did try both channels. it went up from 2133 to 2333 when we went 1 and 2. maybe putting them back in 2 and 4 will reset something..

you should put it in slot 2 and 4, as the main channel per dimm. 1 and 2 is 1 channel as 3 and 4. also when you enable the xmp, try to change the timings to 18 - 22 - 22 - 42, then save and exit.
