New build, few problems.

Hi guys, hoping you can help me with a few problems I've been having.

First, my specs.
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix x570-F Gaming (AM4)
CPU: Ryzen 3900XT
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (3600mhz)
PSU: Asus ROG Strix 850w
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe (1TB)
GPU: I've not got yet, I'm waiting for 3800 to be in stock

1st problem, The onboard graphics don't seem to work. When powering on the system nothing is displayed and the status light on the mobo is white, indicating a VGA problem according to the user manual. I updated my bios to the newest version thinking that could be the problem but it's still the same. I'm having to use a old 8800 card out of my daughters PC and that is working.

2nd problem, Once into the bios I'm noticing my RAM is clocked at 2600mhz and not 3600mhz that it is supposed to be. Changing the value from auto to 3600 and saving & exiting bios the computer will then not boot and I have to clear CMOS.

3rd problem, Bios is saying my CPU clock speed is 3.8ghz, Is the 3900XT supposed to be 4.7ghz?

I'm not very good with Bios settings, Haha

That cpu doesn’t have onboard graphics.

have you enabled XMP for the memory?

Those frequencies are correct. Google boost clocks.

OMG....Hahaha. Eh....I live and learn I guess. I'm struggling to find the setting in the bios to enable XMP, I've not fiddled around with bios setting for many years now. Cheers for the help mate

If you can bear with me, I'll take a photo from my PC (should imagine it's a similar looking BIOS to yours - my motherboard is in my signature)

On an ASU’s board it’s probably called DOCP.

Aha! I've seen that in the bios, Cheers mate!

Confirmed. Had to get Google out on my phone as I normally leave overclocking alone.

Sorry I took so long.

Bearing in mind this is for my board (as I said, I'm hoping yours is similar since yours is newer):

Make sure you show advanced BIOS rather than EZ/Easy

Once in Advanced go to Tool, ASUS SPD information and make sure that your XMP profile is being detected (might be worth noting the XMP clock - in my case is 3000)

Into A.I Tweaker, Overclock Tuner and on the drop down select D.O.C.P. and save/exit the BIOS. Hopefully, as @bremen1874 said, that should be it.

I'm going to have to check this out tomorrow as I've had to put my daughters GPU back in her PC so she can play Roblox with friends

I appreciate your help fellas and I'll let you know how I get on :cool:
