Consider switching from your current 4x8GB TridentZ RGB to a 2x16GB option. Your Ryzen setup struggles with multiple sticks, so you're looking for stability. Available alternatives in your budget include XPG D50, D45G, and TridentZ Neo—all running at 3600Mhz CL18D. None of these kits are listed in the motherboard QVL, but they could still be worth trying if you're comfortable with the risk. Your system currently has the following specs: Signature.
They'll probably be fine, but since you're having instability issues right now I'm not sure how wise it is. Have you done much to stabilise the kit(s) you have? 4x8GB shouldn't be that hard on a 5700X.
I attempted but still experience the 3 beep memory error during startup occasionally. There were no stability problems with the two stick configuration initially, but once I added another pair, issues arose. I incorporated these additional sticks after using the Ryzen 3500 for about a year. After that, upgrading to the 5700X caused stability problems, such as prolonged boot times (Windows freezing at the moving circle) and intermittent random beeps lasting several weeks. The Trident Zs I’m using feature Samsung C/D dies, according to a friend’s recommendation.
AM4 has some issues with four sticks... It might not support JEDEC standards or XMP profiles. Consider using 3600CL16 2x16GB sticks instead for compatibility.
Didn't try the base JEDEC speeds. Plus I have another issue which I posted earlier where if I slam or bump the case with 4 sticks installed the system reboots. I even changed the motherboard thinking it was a motherboard issue lol. I removed the two later added sticks and that issue is gone. I am thinking of selling these normal RGB off and getting some TridentZ Royal Gold F4-3600C16D-GTRGC from a friend. I might try with that one. This is the memory stick he has. This looks like either a Samsung B Die or Hynix CJR Die
You've managed to get things running smoothly overall, though there was a minor issue during installation. Once the new memory was installed, the system booted correctly after swapping the stick positions. I restored the BIOS to its default settings and enabled XMP at 3600Mhz CL16, which seems to be working well for a Hynix CJR chip. Regarding the jumper pins on the CLR CMOS—shorting them doesn’t seem to reset the BIOS. You might want to double-check the pin connections or try using a different tool if needed.
