Hi Guys, in desperate need of some help, its been a long time since my first ever build! I have recently spent a small fortune on a complete new setup for gaming!

Firstly my system will not run with any of the latest BIOS's from Asus I tried them all! I am about 4/5 BIOS version lower than the latest and finally at the only one that is stable. I was getting non boots, partial boots and random boots constant.

So I'm stuck at this version.

Memory is in slots, a2 + b2

So my issue is I keep getting memory issue errors and making game crashes when playing games, and only when playing games. :confused:

I'm certain it is my settings in BIOS to do with my D.O.C.P Auto Overclock and or a clash with my new PCie 4.0 SSD! something is not right!

When my BIOS settings are all at default.
My PC will boot in and memory frequency will be running at combined auto speed of 2666Mhz. (why does the memory not just normally run at 3600Mhz? when that is my memory speed?)

And of course I want my RAM running at its full potential of 3600Mhz.
So I set the D.O.C.P to Auto tune and I get this message:
https://ibb.co/4tWCzwb
Then Save Changes and this is what is said is being changed.

Boots me in and when I check in on task Manager I am running at 3600Mhz,
but then at complete random intervals games will crash with a memory error!

I saw on another post that setting D.O.C.P only sets half the settings and not the other half of settings or something? is this the problem is there more I should change manualy change? something conflicting? or is it solely clashing with the SSD?!

Any help is much appreciated guys:(

My Spec is:
CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB Case, Black
Asus ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-Core Processor Socket AM4 (1331) O/C at 4550Mhz
Corsair HS100i Watercooler
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3600Mhz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB
1TB Gigabyte AORUS SSD, M.2 (2280) PCIe 4.0
Corsair RM1000x Watt PSU

Can you not just enable XMP in the BIOS like normal? Sorry I'm not familiar with ASUS boards, I avoid them.
Apparently D.O.C.P is the AMD version of XMP... i think im going to try and send this board back to ********! its cost me a fortune and not stable.
 
3600 can be a bit much for a Ryzen 3xxx. My 3700x wouldn't even post if I went over 3200.

Start with xmp enabled, gear down mode on, soc voltage at 1.1v, 1.35v ddr and see what happens.

Thanks for reply Ad.. I have just put on D. O. C. P and gear down mode.
D. O. C. P automatically puts speed at 3600mhz
Should I try a lower speed if problems persist.?

Booted up fine as always with DOCP I will try a few games out now . What does the gear down mode actually do? More Compatibility?

i have reduce the speed down to 3466Mhz and i am stable ! thanks ad wouldnt of sussed that without your help... kind of sucks that i can use the full speed of my RAM.. which ive payed for but hey...
 
3600mhz is actually the sweet spot for 3xxx series CPUs
set Infinity fabric to 1800, 3600 might need more voltage, your safe up to 1.39-1.40 day to day use
soc voltage 1.1
if in doubt use dram calculater if you need more information download Thaiphoon as well to identify your ram
