Question Restart loop when setting ram above 3200Mhz

[TashaD]

Hello! Likely this problem is stemming from me missing something simple in my overclocking homework but I haven't found it, so thanks in advance if you can help!

I previously had 16gb - 2666Mhz ram in my pc and just upgraded to 32gb - 3600Mhz. I checked that everything was compatible with 3600 and as far as I could tell it was. But the highest I can set the memory frequency to (Via D.O.C.P) is 3200 before it just goes on a restart loop. I had an old version of the BIOS so I thought maybe an update would help but that didn't resolve the issue either. I'm grateful for any suggestions

Patriot Viper Steel 2x16GB DDR4-3600

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6Ghz 8-Core
Asus STRIX Geforce GTX 1080 Ti 11gb
Corsair AX760 ATX PSU

Cpu -> 1, 2, 3, 4 -> edge of motherboard. Numbers are ram slots.

Which ram slots are you using?

Do you have the ram in the correct slots on the mobo? A2/B2?
Also have you tried enabling XMP in the bios for the memory?

Also if you are manually setting a faster ram speed, you will most likely need to loosen the timings as well. Sometimes the gain from 3200 to 3600 is partly reduced by looser timings, so it can at times be non-productive.
