Experience a burnt odor during XMP memory overclocking.

I purchased a fresh set of 3600MHz Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM modules. After noticing my system only ran at 2666MHz, I attempted to boost performance using the XMP profile on my ASUS X570 Plus Wi-Fi motherboard. The issue arose after about 15 minutes of light browsing—burning plastic smell appeared, even though I removed the packaging. Running Warzone on a 3440x1440p monitor at maximum settings for a minute intensified the odor and caused the machine to crash. Specs: CPU Ryzen 5 3600 (STOCK COOLER), GPU RX 5700 XT, MOTHERBOARD ASUS TUF X570 PLUS (WIFI), HDD 1TB WD BLUE, 2TB SEAGATE, PSU 750 GX COOLER, Master RAM Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3600MHZ, 18CL case, Corsair Spec 1 (2 fans intake, 1 exhaust). Thank you for your assistance.

I wouldn’t keep it up for a long time until you find the issue, but does it still appear?

I think you're asking about the temperature monitoring feature. Yes, it still functions. I went to the BIOS and reset everything to its default settings, and now it's back to 2666MHz.

post describes the motherboard's role in checking connections during startup. It seems to function correctly. You might want to verify XMP settings in BIOS for Ryzen, and check for any burnt smells near components.

The entire space had a strong odor of melted plastic, making it hard to pinpoint the problem. The RAM was very warm, and I simply switched on the diagnostic file.

performing some GSKill adjustments at 1.45v causes them to heat up significantly. Removing them right after turning off the device makes them extremely hot to the touch, which is typical. The smell isn’t burnt plastic—it’s a lingering odor that suggests something might be amiss. If you decide to disassemble them, check for any unusual components that could explain the issue.

The main problem isn't the burnt plastic at the ATM, but that it crashed right after playing Warzone for just one minute.

Impressive! The current is definitely quite strong.

It seems Vccio/soc and similar settings are around 1.05-1.1v, which is within the acceptable range for B die. Still, I'm not entirely confident, and there isn't much clear data on this.

That's correct, the problem is probably related to melting or burning. It's a straightforward method to find it, and you wouldn't want your items catching fire, right?
