Combine Ryzen memory with custom fabrication techniques.
Combine Ryzen memory with custom fabrication techniques.
You're working with a 5950X that has 4000MHZ CL16 GSkill Trident Z RAM. You can push the RAM up to around 3800MHz and the chip clock to about 1800MHz. Going beyond 3800 usually triggers restarts before it crashes, then it boots into safe mode with a prompt to update the settings. Pushing the fabric clock past 1800 leads to an error on the RAM POST LED on your ASUS STRIX X570-e and a permanent stuck state that needs a CMOS reset. You're not sure what voltage adjustments might help stabilize things at the rated speeds. Since you're comfortable with older Core i7 and X79 OC, consider tweaking BIOS settings cautiously—start with modest changes and monitor stability before moving further.
Lower settings at 3733, I believe it was intended for a 1:1 run. Going up to 2:1 will likely take you into that mode. For Ryzen's Infinity Fabric, is increasing the frequency beneficial in your situation? Otherwise, it seems more about the RAM than the current problems.
When you set the fabric and memory clock manually, the 1:1 ratio was maintained.
It would be smarter to focus on a 1:1 match and improve your pacing as much as possible.
You're aiming for a high-performance setup with 4000MHz RAM and a 2000MHz fabric clock. Make sure your other components match this speed to avoid bottlenecks. Check if your motherboard, CPU, and memory support those frequencies. If not, you might need upgrades or different parts.
