Identify RAM issues and decide whether to return or adjust the problem.
You're considering upgrading to a Ryzen 4000 with your current setup. The case already has good airflow, but your RAM showed issues after a hard game session—Karhu tests detected errors within minutes. Switching to DDR4-3200 RAM resolved the problem after testing, even at higher speeds. It seems the issue might be with the memory controller or the CPU itself handling the data, not necessarily the RAM. You may want to check the CPU's memory controller or consider a replacement if it's faulty.
What changed your decision from using b die to Hynix? We’re unsure about the exact specs, but the imc’s capacity will depend on RAM quality and the imc itself. Update CMOS, refresh BIOS, set the SOC to 1.1 and DRAM to 1.35, try a 3600 cycle. Run memtest86 and OCCT to verify stability. Edited June 18, 2020 by TofuHaroto
I required more than 16GB of RAM for professional needs. The Samsung b-die model is quite costly, possibly around $100 more than the Hynix version on Newegg’s international site. I usually avoid memory overclocking and the product is in QVL, so I thought it would be fine to stock at 3600 CL16. I have the newest BIOS, but I’ll reset the CMOS and attempt your recommendations for settings—I think XMP JEDEC should work at 1.35V anyway, though it wouldn’t hurt to try!
Adjust the SOC to 1.1 and DRAM to 1.35. If needed, avoid immediate 3600 settings—try testing with 3466 or proceed directly at 3600.
