Question about RAM D.O.C.P/XMP overclocking
Question about RAM D.O.C.P/XMP overclocking
I have Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM with a clock speed of 2133MHz at default settings, but it's designed for 3200MHz. I applied the D.O.C.P profile to match its rated speed. Still, Rainbow Six Siege and GTA5 began crashing frequently, so I assumed it was the OC profile. Then I increased the DRAM voltage from 1.350V to 1.360V, but the issue persisted. I adjusted the clocks using the Ryzen DRAM calculator program, yet the crashes continued.

(Ryzen DRAM Calc)
I was wondering what is causing the crashes and what adjustments should be made to prevent them. The timings on the D.O.C.P profile differed from what I set in the "Timings1" picture, as I believed changing it to the Ryzen DRAM Calc recommendations would resolve the problem, but it didn’t.
Specs:
Ryzen 7 2700X
Asus Strix RTX 2070
Asus Crosshair VII Hero
Corsair Vengeance RGB 4x8 rated for 3200MHz
Corsair HX750i
Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
As I remember, they usually advise against using 4 DIMMs at speeds such as 3200Mhz. Consider lowering it to 2933Mhz and check if performance improves in crash situations.
This might not be what you expected, but it seems relevant across all generations—though the maximum capacity increases with each one.
Check what options are available for Ryzen models with four DIMMs and see what advice exists. I've come across some suggestions, but you can test them yourself.
