Hey! I noticed the timing doesn’t match what I expected with the XMP-2998 settings. From your screenshots, it seems the values are coming out as 15-17-17-35-52 instead of 16-17-17-35-69. Could there be a difference in how the BIOS or RAM interprets the settings? Check the specs again for confirmation.

From the CPU-Z image, your RAM is operating at 2933C16. Likely another XMP profile exists. Check the MB BIOS for two available profiles.

Navigate to bios, select the memory timing menu, turn off gear down mode to use odd number latency options.

Thanks for sharing this. It sounds like you've had some issues with the PC not booting properly. You mentioned trying various changes but still facing problems. Once your new graphics card arrives, you might want to give it another shot. Let me know if you need more help!

Optimize memory performance by adjusting XMP settings and manually tuning below that threshold. Set XMP values and lower frequencies if necessary, but follow the Ryzen guideline—even-numbered latency performs better. For example, use 16-16-16-16-36 instead of 15-17-17-35. If it stabilizes at 3433 MHz, increase to 3000 MHz in BIOS and verify stability. Some A-Dies handle 16-18-18-18-38 frequencies without issues. This process may take time, so be patient.
