Ryzen Ram overclock
Ryzen Ram overclock
Hello,
I'm attempting to achieve a stable 3600MHz but haven't managed to get it working. I've used a DRAM Calculator for Ryzen and entered all the timings into the BIOS, yet I still can't reach the desired frequency. I've tried voltages of 1.35v, 1.70v, 1.80v and finally 1.4v, but it doesn't work. Since I never overclocked before, it's a bit concerning—I worry that using too much voltage might damage my RAM.
On the other hand, it works without timings; just changing the memory speed gets me a post. However, I've noticed an issue where during the morning boot, especially at first start-up, it often refuses to post, which I suspect is related to the memory voltage.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
RAM: G.Skill 32 GB (2x16) DDR4-3600 F4-3600C18D-32GTZN
MOBO: Asus B450-I Strix

The problem your having is you aren't using the dram calculator properly. The Calculator does not guarantee anything, rather it's a GENERAL guess/estimate of what your RAM can achieve.
You'll want to read this, this is from 1usmus the same person who created the DRAM calculator, read everything in this tutorial:

You've got a lot to learn

, there's way more to tweak then just voltage and some timings. Memory by far is the most complicated part of a computer that's tweak-able.

Well then, thanks for ruining my hope
😆
Edit: I had problem running DOCP profile before but I just run it again and it's stable. I'm just gonna stick that that.
Haha, no worries

In reality, I wasn't trying to say anything bad. For someone who likes deep stuff, memory overclocking can be entertaining. The main issue I have is that it wastes a lot of time. Even if you aim for real performance boosts, you can just stress test and tweak the primary timings—it's simple and quick. But the actual effect on speed is minimal in most cases.
Good to know DOCP is working for you, right? If you're having trouble, raising the SOC or DRAM voltage often helps fix DOCP/AMP/XMP problems.
