MSI B450 Tomahawk Max issues with new 5800X3D

[OvEr_KiLL]

running 3600mhz 2x16 ddr4 on my asus strix b550-f gaming with a new 5800x3d with xmp enabled and works fine with newest bios. weird how the msi board doesnt work properly with xmp enabled..did you take the battery out, reset the bios as said and update to the newest version?
it could be the ram..i had a problem once with teamgroup ram it wouldnt boot with the xmp enabled if i remember rightly, but using corsair LPX now and runs fine

I had updated the BIOS to latest from MSI site using M-Flash a few days prior to getting new CPU.
The same memory been in this board, using XMP profile ,for 4 years. So linked to CPU/settings in some manner as completely fails to boot until it reverts dram to 2133

I did not take battery out, I used screwdriver on the jumpers to reset (assuming happened).

Have at 3200 atm, not sure if trying to get 3600 is worth the effort, but will probably try settings shared later, when work finished.

It could just be something as simple as the memory controller on the 5800X3D isnt as strong as on your old CPU.

I had a 3600 cpu that wouldnt run with XMP enabled, but changing to a 5700X using the same memory it ran rock solid for well over a year.

You could try playing around with voltages (DRAM and SOC) at fixed values but I wouldn’t stress too much as 3200 is fine for most use cases.

You might see an increase of maybe 2 to 5 FPS in games as I did.

RAM overclocking is notoriously finicky so you’d need to spend a good few hours playing around with settings and then validating the memory overclock with a stress test like TM5 over several hours.

Or you could just play games and have fun instead.

Up to you.

Faster ram is less important anyway on the X3D chips as the whole point of the cache is so you don't have to dip into the ram as much.
