I have a 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz RAM (4x4). I found it running at 2133MHz, so I checked my BIOS and changed the DOCP to match ASUS settings (3000MHz). But there was a boot failure, so memory settings were reset. Now I can only go up to 2666MHz, which is unstable and causes crashes. 2400MHz still works, but I prefer 3000MHz. Can someone assist me?

Your chip can operate at speeds up to 2933MHz. Is your BIOS current?

Adjust the settings directly for timing and voltage.

Attempt to launch two sticks at 3000 and check for boot status.

fewer sticks improve performance, speed, and stability. try 2x sticks and verify 3000MHz functionality

The Ryzen 2000-series lacks a strong Integrated Memory Controller compared to the Ryzen 3000-series, and running four DRAM sticks doesn’t help much. Your setup might not support DDR4-3000 MHz with your CPU and RAM configuration. I suggest starting by turning on DOCP so timings and voltage are adjusted manually. Set your DRAM speed to DDR4-2933 or DDR4-2666 using XMP, then lower the frequency by one or two steps if stability returns. Only progress to higher speeds if everything holds steady.

Because you're using quad-channel, your CPU might be struggling due to the memory controller issues in Zen+ and Zen 1. Switching to dual-channel should help resolve the problem.

Based on your thoughts, it seems selling the RAM now and getting a 16GB unit in an 8x2 setup would be a good move.

However, I'll start by testing it in dual channel.
