Increased memory capacity, but system becomes unstable when operating at rated speed. Assistance needed.
You're experiencing issues with your ASUS ROG Strix X370-F setup. It seems the RAM sticks are not communicating properly when all four are connected at full speed. Since you've already tested both kits individually at 4000MHz and they work, the problem likely lies in how the motherboard handles multiple modules or a compatibility issue. Trying to set the frequency back to auto (2133MHz) resolved the boot issue, which suggests adjusting the settings might help. Consider checking for any firmware updates or consulting ASUS support for compatibility with your configuration.
I'm only working with the same boards. I'm just applying the AI overclock tuner D.O.C.P settings for the clock speed. I haven't adjusted RAM parameters manually before.
Set them at 3600 Mhz. The jump from 3600 to 4000 Mhz isn't much better. In fact, you might find it worth trying to lower the latency to 17 or 16 at 3600 instead of 18—this could boost performance without extra strain. Using four sticks is tougher on the motherboard and CPU because the signals between the CPU socket and RAM sticks get more interference, possibly leading to more transfer errors and resets.
You likely won't be able to. Raising it to 3800mhz might help, but lowering the cas latency would give better results.
