Self-repairing biological system Process restores functionality without external intervention
I've faced this problem for a few months now after installing my second set of RAM. I've tried various fixes but nothing has resolved it. I changed the CMOS battery three times, which helped for a short time, yet the issue persisted. I also adjusted timings and voltages manually, turned on High Frequency Support, rearranged the slots, and avoided overclocking except for XMP. Right now, I'm using just two sticks with XMP enabled because I suspect the four-stick setup is causing the problem. The RAM sticks are labeled as Intel XMP 2.0 compatible, but I'm not sure if that matters. Are there other steps I should try or factors I should consider? I don't have additional kits to test. My system specs include a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite CPU, Ryzen 7 3800X, WD Black SN850 1TB RAM, G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16 GPU, Gigabyte 3060 Ti Gaming OC Pro 2.0 PSU, and a Rosewill 700W Gold case.
Hey there, the memory modules in Ryzen processors only work with D.O.C.P. on two channels, which is why AMD boards use a dual-channel setup. This causes the performance you see because the board and memory controller can't handle four RAM sticks at maximum speed, so they revert to default speeds. You can't change that. If you really need four sticks, you'll have to accept running them slower. Try lowering your memory speed to below 3.600 MHz gradually with D.O.C.P. enabled to find the limit. If you must keep everything fast, the only option is to buy a two-stick package that matches your total and use it in dual-channel mode. Have a great day.
