The 5600x fails to power on with a 3600Mhz DOCP configuration.
Installed my latest motherboard and 5600x. The 6700k worked well with 3600mhz CAS 18 ram. When I enable DOCP, the board enters safe mode after several boot tries. I just updated the BIOS. What’s happening? The 5600x should handle it easily. ROG Strix B550-f KLEVV BOLT 16gb CAS 18 3600mhz
The system started at 3200Mhz, but there seems to be a discrepancy. Users often exceed 4000Mhz on the 5600x, suggesting something might be incorrect.
I identified the problem clearly: You must calculate your bootable and WHEA error-free SOC/IF voltages individually. Start by setting the IF to 2133, then gradually adjust the IF until issues arise. Next, fine-tune the SOC voltage first, and only then modify the VDDG voltages if necessary. The default Zen 3 SOC estimates appear incorrect, likely needing a BIOS fix, but manual adjustments can resolve it.
During my testing with Zen 3, this approach isn't recommended. It prefers a specific voltage range, but will fail to boot or trigger WHEA errors if you exceed it for the intended frequency. 1.1 would cause no boot at 1600, WHEA errors at 1800, but was necessary at 1866 IFs. Refer to the linked post above "Starting high and working backwards" since using voltages here is uncertain with this configuration. Begin at 1600 IF and increase by one notch at a time.
