strange Ryzen issues with unstable memory demand clarity
experiencing unusual instability issues and seeking some clarity on the Ryzen 5 3600 ASUS Crosshair 7 Hero (BIOS:4301) with G.Skill FlareX 3200 CL14 (samsung B-die). Symptoms include system freezes during certain functions, such as right-click menus or program openings, which require a reset button press. This happens primarily when there are more than 50 Chrome tabs open, whether switching or closing tabs, or while streaming on Amazon Prime Video—especially when skipping ahead or not. During gaming sessions lasting over six hours from Tarkov, the system remains stable with around 14GB of total memory allocated in Revituner. No BSOD appears, CPU overclock is disabled (3600MHz/3533MHz, FCLK 1:1), and voltage readings are consistent at 1.118V/1.112V for the LVC, 1.44V/3533MHz for DRAM, and 1.00V for VDDG. CRT settings are configured as 16 trcdwr, 16 trcdrd, etc., with various performance parameters logged. The system never crashes, and after running Memtest64 and DRAM calculators, benchmarks remain stable. I’ve disabled OC and set the CPU to 3600MHz/3533MHz in FCLK mode.
the voltage is quite elevated, possibly around 1.375 with values ranging from 16 to 42
not very informative its samsung b die it performs well with voltage it works under no loads light loads according to what i saw from prime video hanging the setup is linked to memory issues if i had another ssd to reinstall windows on but i can't since i'm dual booting a test os and my main and the test os has a paid version of that software do you know of any sub timings related to memory clears and whenever the system hangs the event viewer only shows errors a dns client service for system and coolermaster masterplus renew.exe
it only works after either those apps are running nonstop for long periods or when I come back from a 30-minute break. once i start watching YouTube, Prime Video, or keep going for hours, it functions for 30 minutes or more. but it doesn’t work while gaming and the command rate doesn’t seem to influence it.
I rely on 1usmus dram calculators MemTest because it generates more heat than MemTest64, reaching up to 20°F warmer, with the highest recorded temperature at 132°F. The second unit stays around 130°F.
The top tool for quick stability checks is y-cruncher, which reports errors so you can use hcimemtest or p95 (large) for sufficient time to assess stability. For more details on OCing RAM, see the guide here: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHel...aster/DDR4 OC Guide.md
You're testing the memory limits with extreme settings. Consider lowering tRas to 36 and increasing TRc slightly. Even in the 700s, stability might be found there. You can gently loosen TRc as well. I'm not set up to run more timings right now—apologies for the delay.
