Hello everyone (this is my first time posting)
I’m new to PC Builder and was trying to research before building, but I ran into a problem with my setup.
ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 Wifi AX Board
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
G.SKILL Sniper X Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C19D-32GSXKB
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Ultra
Corsair 750 W 80+ Bronze
I ran a benchmark and the feedback was that my memory performance is around the 11th percentile. In the BIOS I checked, the memory speed was listed as 2133. When I adjusted it to 3600, I faced hard resets and couldn’t boot past the ASROCK post screen.
Any advice or suggestions from the BIOS? I’m using the default BIOS. Also, XMP is enabled but it doesn’t seem to work at 3600.
Test results if this helps:
UserBenchmarks: Game 109%, Desk 138%, Work 126%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 95.3%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 - 108.8%
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB - 302.2%
RAM: G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3600 C19 2x16GB - 68.4%
MBD: Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 WiFi ax
Please let me know if I missed anything important or need further help.
Thanks!!

This kit is designed for Intel platforms:
http://www.gskill.com/qvl/165/169/153604...2GSXKB-Qvl
I would enable XMP and attempt a frequency around 3400mhz or lower, to check if it performs adequately. This device should function with your system, though you probably won't achieve its advertised speeds on the X570 platform.

Thank you for your prompt response, Dunlop! The QVL section shows the x570 is listed. Would you like to think about swapping them for a different set?

Do you have the most recent BIOS update? It shows an X570 board, but your system is using an X570 board instead.

G.Skill doesn't have any 3600 MHz RAM kits that match your specific motherboard model. I would send it back and receive a 3600 Mhz kit that is advertised as compatible with your exact board from Corsair, Kingston, or similar brands.
