Issue with new RAM under D.O.C.P settings
Issue with new RAM under D.O.C.P settings
Hello, I'm setting up a basic gaming rig with an Asus Prime X570-P board, a 3600 MHz CPU, an Asus ROG Strix 2060 GPU, and two x16 GB of GSkill Trident Neo RAM. At the default speed of 2166 MHz it works perfectly for everything—gaming, streaming, work, etc.—but when I turn on DOCP and try to push it up to 3200 MHz, it crashes after about 25 minutes during gameplay. In DOCP I haven't changed any settings since this is my first build and I'm still learning how to optimize performance. All drivers and the BIOS are up to date; I'm also using Windows 11. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This typically indicates the memory overclock isn't consistent. You might need to change your voltage settings to align better with the overclock. Consider shifting from 1.35V or similar to around 1.36V and observe if it stabilizes. Generally, DOCP performs well with automatic overclocking.
You mentioned only the G-Skill RAM is available and you followed the motherboard guidelines carefully.
Adjust the DRAM voltage to 1.36v and repeat the steps that led to the crash. Use memtest86 or its passmark tool for a complete memory check. Boot from the portable OS version, let it run through several passes, and aim for two full cycles if successful. For maximum assurance, let it run overnight. You can also perform an Aida64 stress test directly in Windows.
If it didn’t work, should I increase the intensity again? I’m experiencing the same precise problem—my whole PC crashes, especially during startup, with very specific slowdowns.
Adjust settings manually. Control frequency, drive voltage, and primary timing individually. Keep other parameters on auto. Use 1.35v. Consider downloading Aida64—navigate to motherboard → SPD. Record all timings for 3200mhz and enter them in BIOS as recommended. Verify both sticks are placed in slots A2 and B2 on the motherboard.
