Can't get 3600mhz ram work at 3600mhz on Ryzen 5600x

It may change automatically for Asus boards when running the ram and fclk out of sync, I know for some there is an option to set the dividers UCLK==MCLK or UCLK==MCLK/2 are the two options on my MSI board etc.
I'll have to look for that as soon as I get home, I'm not sure I remember seeing an option for that. I do remember seeing something in the advanced settings about the uclk being equal to the mclk, and that if unequal latency could occur, but certain fclk speeds could negate that penalty, or something along those lines, possibly not in that order. . . I'm still trying to learn the more technical stuff, so I apologize if I need anything dumbed down
@GregI I was trying to do some digging and couldn't find anything specific, however I do see that there is the exact same specs RAM that can be sometimes bought except the end of the part number is (PVS432G360C8GK) instead of just 8CK without the G, like mine, and was released almost a year later, I wonder if it's meant to be an updated or more stable set of the 2x16 3600mhz

Hi all.
looking at this, I agree with Joxeon that you need to manually set your SOC voltages (to 1.1v)
this is Samsung RAM - it’s harder on the memory controller than Micron or Hynix.
I could probably get the RAM stable but it would take me manually fiddling with it all.

Will gave to give that a try. The XMP profile auto sets dram voltage to 1.35, I've tried 1.4 one time and it hard crashed and lit up yellow fault indicator light on mobo (RAM error) haven't messed with the voltages since. I've seen some people say 1.45 or 1.5, is there a chance I'd need to tune that too or just the soc voltage?
Soldato
1.45 is moderately high but 1.5 is about as high as I would go.

3733 is fine. you didn’t lose the lottery, that’s just about where most top out at.
OP can’t do 3600. That’s losing (if his issue is the MEm controller)
If you want 4000+, you need the get the 4750G which has an amazing RAM controller in it.
I'm not too bothered tbh, I want to upgrade CPU to one of those 3D cache ones next year, if they are not silly expensive.. Any 3200MHz+ RAM with decent timings is fine imo..
I had the same RAM, save yourself a headache and return it. I tried everything I could think of, relaxed the timings etc. It's cheapo samsung chips and for whatever reason the new AMD processors hate it. A friend had similar issues with a corsair kit that has the same chips.
Get the Crucial Ballistix 3600 C16 set. I've had one WHEA error in 9 months.

Crucial ballistix is micron - it’s cheap, AMD processors love it and it clocks high.
@JollyJamma the more I see people having issues with the 5600x, and the small info I have found on the Patriot Viper 2x16 3600, the more I think I just need to throw the whole thing out and start over. . Lol
I have the Asus Tuf Gaming x570 plus (wifi) seating both of those, with an amd 5700xt 8gb, and the whole rig does alright gaming on 1440p, but I've just always felt like it should be doing BETTER. And so I've always wondered if the RAM and their inability to run xmp at their spec was holding me back as much as I feel like it is. But I've never known enough about the technical stuff of OC'ing like timings and voltages to be comfortable enough to do it myself and not mess something up, or enough to know what to do outside of sucking it up and dumping more money into it that would make a noticeable improvement or an improvement at all

Tbh the ram won't make a huge difference unless your running 1080p with the graphics turned down, if you cant get 3600mhz running then try 3533 3467 3400 3333 etc until it's stable then try and tighten the timings a bit.

Where do you stay?
I’d actually be interested in playing around with this kit of RAM to see if it is the pile of poo people say it is.I wonder if I could get it working properly.
sounds like you could do with a more reliable set of DIMMs.
I’ll post a link to Buildzoids ram shopping guide if you want it. He’s my go to for ram suggestions.
@Joxeon should I leave the fclk on auto, or manually set it to 1:1 as I work my way up the RAM speeds?
And I'm not sure what would involve tightening the timings up. As I said a few posts up, that part of the OC process is where my knowledge and experience really starts to drop off quickly. . What certain values would be adjusted, and how much would I adjust them to tighten them?
@JollyJamma I myself am in the US, however in reference to OP @Combat squirrel I too am curious what became of his issue, considering I jumped into the thread long after the last post in it

What is your SoC voltage? Try 1.1V. I'm going to post my settings when I get home..
