s about XMP/D.O.C.P and assistance available
Hey guys! My current setup im using is running: Ryzen 5 5600 Asus b450 a-ii Nvidia 1060 3gb Samsung SSD 980 500GB Kingston 2x16gb 3200 mhz DDR4 Ram And i have some questions about XMP or for amd i think its called D.O.C.P and how to use it and how to ensure it working. When i first upgraded my pc to my current setup i could not set my ram to 3200mhz, for unknown reasons but now as of recently i tried again to bump it up to 3200mhz and it seems to be working, I also put the FCLK on manually to 1600 as suggested in another post on here about the FCLK. But here's the question i see online that my rams are intel XMP dose that have performance impact on my system? And now that i enabled D.O.C.P will that work even if it says Intel XMP? Any Info, or suggestions or anything would help so i can hopefully understand my system better and understand D.O.C.P/XMP and FCLK
D.O.C.P is XMP for Ryzen, they are identical, there is Ryzen tuned RAM known as EXPO, but XMP will run on AMD CPUs. FCLK is basically your fabrics clock speed, fabric being AMD's infinity fabric, or your RAM controller, this should be equal or higher than your MHz, so 1600, or even higher should be perfect TLDR Run RAM with the 3200MT/s XMP profile and altered FCLK clock as you already have it currently and you should be good
The issue with XMP initially might stem from a BIOS update or incorrect RAM placement. A2 and B2 slots are the proper ones; XMP won't function in others unless four RAM sticks are installed. Generally, XMP works well with AMD systems. To verify compatibility, examine the BIOS settings for RAM timings. For instance, I set a yellow marking as the main timings, which remain constant even if using Intel XMP instead of DOCP. If the red entries are auto and lack a value, the motherboard uses its default settings rather than XMP. Filling in details in the red section indicates that Intel XMP adjusted those timings. You can assess its impact by running CB23 and comparing scores over several attempts, adjusting frequency, voltage, and timings manually. This approach applies whether you're troubleshooting instability or confirming functionality.
