DOCP?
DOCP?
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/JXQZGc. I'm thinking about turning on DOCP but fear it could slow things down with the Ryzen 5 3600 and lead to crashes.
It seems your ASUS board didn't fully apply memory timings after enabling DOCP. You might want to turn it back on and compare the listed timings with the SPD details in BIOS under Tools. If you encounter BSODs or unexpected restarts, there could be an issue that needs attention.
It's confusing why you'd believe that. Without manual overclocking, DOCP is the best option to keep RAM running at its intended speed, and keeping it at base speed would really slow things down.
Some individuals lack complete knowledge, and many share content without doing their homework—including me sometimes.
The issue arises when components A, B, and C collaborate closely to achieve results, but one or more parts—like a slow CPU—don’t keep up, preventing others from operating at full capacity. For example, a 2-core CPU won’t let the RTX 2080 Ti match its performance if paired with a faster model such as an i7 9700K. This prevents DOCP from working unless you locate a rare low-clocked RAM solution. DOCP is essentially an XMP profile that lets your RAM run at advertised speeds and timing.
The term "bottleneck" surprises me. It’s common to hear about DOCP, yet it seems unclear what its purpose really is. The thought that increasing RAM speed might actually hinder CPU performance is quite odd.
I remember when my thoughts shifted toward research, specifically looking up DOCP online. In product support, I always treat people with care and assume they might be upset until you show them otherwise. It's always better to stay polite. I should also say I get frustrated when I have to repeat the same idea multiple times.
DOCP allows the motherboard to utilize various memory profiles, typically allowing the memory kit's claimed speeds and timing. Without it, the memory operates at a slower standard rate unless adjusted in the BIOS. DOCP does not perform CPU overclocking. Recent checks suggest it may slightly influence the CPU, but the effect is minimal. The manufacturer recommends avoiding the stock cooler when using this feature.
