Stick at 2133 MHz while using a 3600 MHz frequency.
Hello, your setup looks solid with the new components. To ensure your CPU and GPU can run at 3600Mhz, verify that your motherboard supports that frequency. Check the specifications of your Asus ROG STRIX X570-E and confirm if it allows overclocking to that level. Also, make sure your RAM sticks are compatible with the motherboard model (F4-3600C16D-32GVKC) and that you're using the correct speed settings in BIOS. If everything matches, you should be good to go. Let me know if you need further help!
Activate DOCP settings within the system's BIOS configuration
I attempted that before, and when my RAM was installed on the older motherboard (Z170 Gaming with XMP enabled), the screen stopped working. After that, I’m hesitant to try it again, worried it might happen again.
Typically a PC attempts to start five times before resetting to default settings. Ensure your board supports dual-channel operation with the right slot configuration. Your system should operate at 3600MHz without issues.
It seems the RAM might not have a suitable XMP profile for your current motherboard. If the computer fails to start after powering on DOCP, simply reset the CMOS and everything should return to the factory settings. Only manual or automatic overclocking can push the memory to 3600Mhz.
This button serves various functions, often used to flash a BIOS onto the system without a CPU installed. To reset the BIOS, follow these steps: As mentioned by @Stormseeker9, if the board has detected repeated reboots, it will usually reinitialize itself. Be aware that enabling DOCP requires saving and rebooting, but it generally resets a few times to prepare the memory. Wait until the process finishes before interacting with the PC.
