You're facing some challenges with stabilizing your RAM overclock. Have you considered checking the memory specifications again? The board uses a Daisy Chain topology and supports 2 sticks, but it's confirmed to reach 3800MHz in tests. Your CPU setup—Ryzen 9 5950X with dual 16GB G.Skill TridentZ Neo at 3600MHz—seems solid. Also, ensure your power supply voltages are within the recommended ranges (around 1.2V for SOC, 1.1V for VDDG/IOD) and that the RAM modules are properly seated. Double-checking these details might help resolve the instability.

There’s no need for this. Reviewing the 5950x clock won’t improve performance and might even hurt it. Make sure your memory controller is in good shape too.

Assign numbers 1 to 4 to the sticks. Check each pair for validation. Confirm 1&2, 1&3, 1&4, 2&3, 2&4, and 3&4 are correctly labeled.

FCLK matches the memory speed, featuring 1867 with 3733MHz RAM. Stable FCLK confirmed using two sticks at 2000Mhz (DDR4 4000).

The alternative match didn't work. @Ralphred offers helpful tips. It might just need rearranging the pairings for success.

Signature indicates 1.5v. Is this the XMP voltage, or did you require that much for just 3600mhz? The latter, please try more. Timing values are estimates meant to assist. Verifying connections is a playful exercise. It seems you're pushing them all at once, so slot doesn't matter much. You already understand that two sticks deliver the best performance. You'll surpass the system to hit around 100mhz effective clock (with DDR at 200mhz) and likely no noticeable change in results even after long testing. Good luck!

I believe the issue lies with your motherboard. AsRock seems to have some problems. I’d prefer MSI or ASUS for future projects. Their BIOS support isn’t great, even though the boards look decent and the specs are solid. My setup uses a dual-rank Micron E-die at 3800MHz on my main board. I also have a B350 running 3800MHz on an MSI with a 3600MHz model without any problems from the latest AGESA BIOS. Previously, my B350 only worked stably at 3600MHz.

I’ll share a ZenTimings screenshot later when I’m using my computer. XMP requires 1.35v, and the main timings were 16-16-16-16-36 at 1.5v while running two sticks at 3800 C14.
