My Ryzen 3900X that I just recently purchased can't clock to 1600MHz on Infinity Fabric.
When I clock to 1600 IF with 3600 memory, testing Cinebench R20 causes my PC to black-screen and reboot.
1400 IF with memory at 3600 is stable.
Memory is Ballistix Elite 3600 CL14.
CPU is running with stock cooler.
Temps do not exceed 85C.
Please help.

What is your ram running at? Is xmp (amd equivalent) on? If xmp is on i reccomend turning it off and manually setting ram to 3200mhz then try 1600mhz IF and then work your way up from there

I have had problems with xmp my ram couldnt even run at 2866 (2400mhz kit) but when i manually set it i managed a stable 3400mhz with a 3.7ghz oc (ryzen 1700) and then 3200mhz at 3.975ghz

If xmp is not enabled check what speed your ram is running at you want a 1:1 ratio if ur IF is runninh 1800mhz ur ram needs to be 3600mhz
