Asus Strix 570-F Gaming reaches a maximum of 1600FCLK
Reject the newest bios with 5800X; anything above causes boot issues or crashes, forcing a CMOS reset. 32GB Corsair 3600C16 RAM runs at 3600MHz as long as the clock frequency stays reasonable. What’s the reason? Could it be related to the SOC voltage or a problematic hardware pairing? It’s not catastrophic—1600/3200 is fine, but higher numbers are problematic for many users.
Bad luck with the IMC on the CPU, the motherboard issues, or the equipment itself.
Recent BIOS updates don’t always guarantee the best performance. I’ve experimented with a few revisions on my Aorus Master, and sometimes FCLK overclocking fails completely, even at 1800MHz instead of the expected 1600MHz. Occasionally, newer BIOS versions interfere with other memory overclocking attempts. Switching to another BIOS might improve results. If you’re curious about adjusting certain voltages for FCLK tuning, you could try raising the SOC voltage to 1.15V—just avoid exceeding 1.2V to protect the CPU. This mainly affects memory controller clocks and may occasionally boost FCLK speeds in specific cases. The VDDG levels are more critical for FCLK overclocking, though I haven’t seen them help on my board; they usually default to 1V unless your chip sets a lower value by design.
