Hello everyone, I haven't overclocked before and need advice on my RAM. My setup is a Ryzen 5 3600 with ASUS TUF B450M Plus Gaming Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM at 3200MHz. It's C16 EVGA RTX 2070 Super Antec EA750G Pro, running 750W Gold Win 10 Pro 2004. After checking online guides, the app suggested some "fast" settings. My system seems default, memory is at 3200MHz, and I experience occasional BSODs. It's puzzling since none of the errors match a clear pattern, but memory issues seem likely. Running Memtest86 showed no problems. Regarding BIOS settings, when adjusting VDDCR Soc Voltage, if it's set to auto and shows 1.100, you should enter +0.025 as the offset.

I have a general idea of a guide somewhere, but I’m having trouble locating it. I’ve heard some folks suggesting adding just a small extra voltage to the RAM can help stabilize memory. I don’t understand the details though. There are people who do this, but it might take time for someone to find what I’m saying. Patience is key. I know memtest86 can sometimes give false negatives if the issue is subtle, but that’s more about overclocking than just tweaking RAM. If your system still crashes occasionally with regular memory, a common old-school test is to insert one stick into slot one and see if it fails again. If it does, try the other stick; if not, it’s likely a hardware problem like a power supply or graphics card issue.

It seems like you're looking for a more straightforward method to identify the issue. Since your equipment is under a year old, consider checking the manufacturer's guidelines or contacting their support team for assistance.
