The new PC fails to start due to DOCP issues.
You're trying to activate DOCP for your AMD build, which is similar to XMP. It seems your system won't boot when you enable it in the BIOS. Since you're new to overclocking, here are some steps to troubleshoot:
- Check BIOS settings for any restrictions or warnings about DOCP.
- Ensure your motherboard supports DOCP and XMP features.
- Try resetting the BIOS to default settings.
- Verify that your RAM is compatible and properly seated.
- Consult the AMD support documentation for specific instructions.
Let me know if you need more details!
What components are you using? Which AMD processor model are you running? What is the name and type of your motherboard? Do you have the BIOS version installed? Details about your RAM setup—brand, model, and setup—are available. Regarding overclocking, what are the XMP/EXPO/DOCP settings and clock speeds? Be aware that even high-end 9000-series chips may not reliably hit EXPO/DOCP above DDR5-6000 MHz without extensive manual tuning and voltage adjustments, let alone enabling DOCP/EXPO.
Reconsidering the message I unintentionally shared it without proper preparation!! Excuse me!
Checked your components. X3D with DDR5-6600 MHz is challenging. High-density chips increase the difficulty. Here’s a suggestion: Set DOCP/EXPO manually to DDR4-6000, test it. If successful, raise it to DDR5-6200 and verify again. I tried a YouTuber claiming DDR5-6000 works with Ryzen, but struggled with DDR5-6400 on my 9800X3D. Eventually, after BIOS adjustments, DDR5-6200 CL30 functioned.
It's interesting I turned it on and adjusted the speed manually—it auto-set to 6800, then changed it to 6600. Using time spy and Steel Nomad worked fine so far, though it feels a bit odd.
Your UCLK DIV1 setting in BIOS is listed as options like [Auto], [UCLK=MEMCLK], [UCLK=MEMCLK/2] and [UCLK=MEMCLK]. For DDR5-6600 it’s common to see a drop from 1:1 to 1:2 unless you use higher speeds like DDR5-7600+.
A 1:1 setup would be great. Otherwise, it won’t justify the increased memory clock speed.
