The D.O.C.P caused significant damage to my PC, and I'm looking for answers on what might have happened.
I just put in two Corsair Vengeance DDR5 modules (6400Mhz) on a X670E Tuf. At first, D.O.C.P worked fine. When I switched to "gaming" in Bloons TD 6 the game crashed completely, forcing me to hold the power button. After restarting, it froze again and displayed a blue screen so quickly I couldn't read before it restarted. No display output appeared and the boot debug light stayed on. I tried reseating RAM, clearing the CMOS battery, and changing the NVMe slot for Windows installation. Only then did it function properly, but I'm worried it might happen again. Can someone clarify this strange issue? My setup includes: Asus TUF X670E, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6400Mhz, Ryzen 7800X3D Masterwatt, 750 RTX 2070.
Ryzen 7000 series reaches roughly 6200MHz with DDR5, which might explain why DOCP pushes for 6400MHz. I’d test manually at 6200MHz. This depends on the chip design—some memory controllers support 6400MHz, others don’t. Going above 4800MHz is essentially overclocking, but there’s no certainty the RAM will perform at its rated speed.
AM5 generally performs well up to 6000C30, particularly without EXPO. On X3D it becomes more challenging and I notice 5600C30/28 offers better stability for those CPUs. You might try running it manually at 6200/6000 as suggested by @Morgan MLGman, but for a 6000C30 setup with an EXPO profile inside, it will likely be more cost-effective than your RGB Corsair kit.
