Hello, I see you're dealing with a Ryzen 3900x setup on an Asrock x570 Taichi board. You're using four 16GB ADATA XPG GAMMIX d30 sticks and have the RAM rated for 3200 CL16-18-18, but it only supports 2666 CL19-19-19. When you try to load the 3200 XMP profile, your system crashes during startup with a "failed ram" error. Setting the frequency to 3200 works temporarily, but the timings are poor. You're aiming for the 3200 XMP configuration and want better performance. The default RAM settings run at #1 in your picture, but ideally you'd like them on the XMP 3200 profile. I've attached a picture showing your current timings. If you haven't rebooted into the XMP profile yet, it might help. Let me know what you think or if you need further guidance.

According to the motherboard manual, using four sticks limits you to a maximum of 2933 RAM if it's single rank. For double rank configurations, the limit drops to 2667. You can try installing the Phoon Burner and Ryzen Drm Calculator, then follow the instructions in the provided link.

Thank you for your response. If the table is accurate, it suggests that even with just one DIMM, achieving more than 3200 MHz isn't feasible. Does this imply that no high-end motherboards can support RAM speeds above 3200? I don’t think so. Since your system runs Linux, it won’t be able to run those specific software applications.
