Problems with RAM on Ryzen 5 and MSI B450 Tomahawk Max systems
You're facing some tricky problems with your build setup. It seems the RAM speed settings are conflicting, especially when switching between XMP profiles. The system is trying to enforce a higher speed (3600MHz) but the BIOS resets it back to the default or lower profile (3200MHz). This could be due to BIOS limitations, incorrect XMP profiles, or hardware compatibility issues. Double-check your RAM specifications and ensure they match the motherboard requirements. Also, try disabling XMP temporarily to see if the issue persists. If it does, you might need to adjust BIOS settings or consult the manufacturer's support for further guidance.
3600 RAM on Zen+ is quite challenging to secure. If it were Zen 2, it would likely function well. Opt for 3200 instead. With Zen+, you won't notice any significant difference when exceeding it.
I adjusted the frequency to 3600mhz, increased the voltage as recommended, and everything is functioning properly now. I can actually launch Windows. How can I better confirm this setup works smoothly without any ongoing issues?
Currently it's functioning well, and I'm looking forward to getting on Zen 2 soon. This 2600 was essentially handed to me, so it matched exactly what I needed from the start.
I have comparable specifications too. My 3466MHz CL16 setup functions perfectly.
