Question Ram XMP Profile Problem

[MUSHROOM_KING100]

Hi, I recently built a new computer (I have built computers in the past before) and there is an issue with ram.

Short story:

Bought 3600mhz ram, bios underclocked to 2133mz when I try set it to anything above exactly 3000mhz its restarts a few times before setting it back to 2133mhz yes I checked to make sure my motherboard supported the speed and all that stuff. Help would be appreciated!


I've heard Ryzen CPUs benifit from fast ram speeds. So I purchased this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6j...-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-16gtzrx (Trident Z RGB 3600mhz). When I finished building the PC I had to do a bios update with my friends CPU (long story) but when I got it to POST and went into the bios the ram had been set to 2133mhz (lowest speed). I changed it to 3600mhz (advertised speed) and the pc shut off and my power strip stopped working, I reset the power strip and it was fine and plugged the PC into the wall instead. Then I booted it and the BIOS told me it was back at 2133mhz. I tried again and this time the pc restarted 3 or 4 times before going back to 2133mhz. I know that my motherboard and CPU support the speed its very frustrating any help would be appreciated thanks!

It's weird because in fact your motherboard ram QVL include this ram kit and say it should work at 3600Mhz with a 3rd gen Ryzen. Are you on the latest bios that Asus have for this motherboard? Where the ram dimm's are installed? Based on the manual it should be DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2.
