Hello, I bought this memory set impulsively because it was among the cheapest I saw at my regular store. Later I discovered my CPU only supports up to 3200MHz due to compatibility reasons. When I first booted the system, it shut down after just a couple of minutes. I fixed it by changing the BIOS setting to 3200MHz. For this model, I’m unsure about the correct timing values—my experience is mostly in adjusting the frequency, not understanding the full setup. My components are: MSI B450M PRO-M2 PAX CPU, RYZEN 3 3100 GPU, GIGABYTE GTX 1650, Super RAM (2x8GB), GSKILL RIPJAWS DDR4 CL18-22-22-42 at 1.35V.
You handled the situation well without making any mistakes. The 5950X is indeed limited to 3200MHz, but it can still operate at higher speeds. Overclocking usually involves guesswork—start by tweaking the voltage slightly and check if it holds steady around 3400 or 3600. If not, reset and experiment with timing adjustments. It’s often better to balance speed and stability, so test both options to see what suits you. I noticed my 3600 RAM also lacked stability out of the box with a Ryzen 3200G, so I settled on a stable 3400 using XMP and kept it that way.
