It doesn't really matter which kits you buy together. All four RAM sticks must come from the same package. It seems they might have removed the RAM from the list, which makes it hard to locate them. This situation raises several concerns about whether it will work.
I previously used a RAM kit with the same CPU and GPU. It performed perfectly at 3600MHz. At that time, I didn’t know the motherboard specifications, so I planned to stick with 3200MHz until DOCP could handle it. That’s why I’m puzzled about why it won’t reach 3200 now. Regarding the booting, even 3000Mhz isn’t working. The next option is only marginally better than 2666, and it isn’t clearly listed for the model I purchased, so I think I’ll proceed without DOCP despite its benefits for the CPU. Maybe a final attempt at 2666MHz will work.
Have you experimented with using one kit at a time? Typically, you'd use two sticks from the same kit, such as DOCP. If both kits perform well individually but fail when mixed, it might suggest incompatibility. You could attempt to adjust the DOCP settings manually in the BIOS, starting with the least effective kit, and observe if mixing improves results.
Not yet, but even if it works, I prefer the 64GB over higher speeds. I believe slower performance won’t be noticeable since the CPU and GPU aren’t that new, and I’m used to around 10fps without old games. Drops can be easily compensated for. It’s not professional-grade.
I might opt for the least capable option technically, but since I’m already using my previous specs, it wouldn’t really matter...
2666MHz with DOCP functioned properly. If I encounter the same issue again, I’ll disable DOCP first; otherwise, I’ll need to try other solutions.
