Thats the "XMP profiling" its got auto (disabled), manual and docp.
Prior changing the ram sticks and pushing that plug to click I was getting crashes even with docp turned off (2133mhz)

Reply might me late but if any mod is willing to edit initial post and add the following lines would be brilliant
Left it in the rest of the time with all oc settings up (pbo, curve optimizer, etc) BUT with ram non-oc at 2133mhz. It never crashed in the upcoming months.
Fast forward to a week ago when I decided to try once more to fix the situation, bought a new kit of ram g.skill trident neo z ( a good samsung b-die).
Guess what, the cpu would crash in under, anot not just crash, but crash a lot( WHEA 41). Disabling the ram oc back to 2133mhz all good, if I was enabling the oc to 3000mhz, 3200mhz or 3600mhz would crash.
Finally decided that It was enought and my 3080 deserves a cpu that can handle fast ram. Decided to sumit a RMA request. Sent it thurstay to amd, next tuesday got a brand new replacement.
This is my third one, so far no crashes in any form of stress, wz2, starfield, stress tests, idle.

i got 4 sticks of ram but cant run them at 3200 speed, highest i can do is 2733mhz. you should be able to do 2666mhz on ram easily.
you really need to be doing proper ram tests on that setup otherwise you will get random issues. run memtest86 overnight and also run testmem5 anta777 absolut overnight too. that should pinpoint any ram issues your having.
Must have been even luckier got 48gb split across a 16gb + 32gb at 3600mhz
i got x470 mobo which i suspect is the cause since the 5600x and 5800x i had in this very mobo would do the same ram speed and no more too.

Now is nearly the end of the year. Had some months to play out with the settings, overclock ram, overclock cpu, etc, absolute zero crashes. I do still have the same configuration as before. At the end of the day I had to send back 2 units out of 3.
I will make sure next time when I upgrade I go back to Intel.
Bottom line, if you have a 5900x and get memory controller errors dont bother, send it back and if possible switch to Intel.
