I recently assembled a new PC with the 3800X model, aiming to run two free games. I installed an XTR MOBI card, a 32GB SSD with two 16GB SSDs, GSKILL 3600 CL 16, and a 750W focus plus gold power supply. I'm using the original cooler. Running Cinibench showed only a slight increase—around 100-200 points above the 1700X benchmark, which felt unusual. I verified my RAM was at 3200CL/25V. After searching for solutions, I disabled auto and set the BIOS to activate XMP at 3600. It seems to be working now. My main concern is whether I should keep everything in auto mode or adjust settings for optimal CPU performance. I'm not sure if leaving it all auto is ideal. Additionally, the voltage reads 1.4V when using ASUS AI software without stress tests. My previous MSI board for a 2500K used default settings unless modified. This ASUS board appears to be handling things differently—some components seem to be adjusting automatically. I tried the tuning wizard, and after loading, RAM timings improved but the system would crash during Cinebench runs. I'm currently using all auto in BIOS except for the DOCP standard setting required to hit 3600CL. Please advise.

The current timing remains unchanged. The docp is active as requested.

The setup you described uses a 3600 MHz chipset with specific RAM configurations. It seems you're asking if the default voltage is suitable for the CPU and whether this setup was intended to run all auto features without issues.
