The PC isn't keeping up with DOCP.
Hello, whenever I turn on DOCP and save or exit the BIOS, the system pauses briefly, then stops completely, restarts for a short time, then powers off again before launching into Windows. Inside Windows, Task Manager displays 2133 MTs while CL14 appears in cpuZ and OCCT. Setting DOCP to 3600 and manually adjusting it prevents a restart after exiting BIOS works, but using CL25 instead doesn’t resolve the issue. Other RAM configurations also produce similar problems, which are not ideal from DOCP settings. Adjusting BLCK Freq to 100, Mem Freq to 3600, SOC voltage offset positive, DRAM voltage at 1.45V, and voltage range 14-15-15-15-35 matches the manual instructions. Power-down mode is off. I’ve also tested other RAM sticks—Corsair 3200 MTs 8x2 CL16 and Kingston Fury 2400 MTs 8x2 CL14. A recent PSU upgrade was done between tests to eliminate that possibility. CMOS cleared, RAM re-seated, all cables reconnected. My motherboard only supports two DIMM slots, so mixed kits aren’t possible. Current specs: Asus B450-i (Ver 5003), 5800x3D (Ver 5.02.19.2221), 2070 Super (ver 531.61), HP V10 16x2, 3600 CL14, Windows 11, Cooler Master 850W, SFX Gold.
The SOC voltage presents challenges with offset issues. It doesn't maintain performance indefinitely as voltage increases; it tends to fail or behave erratically at voltages exceeding 1.2V. The system's default settings vary by BIOS version, often ranging from 1V to 1.2V. When the system enters idle mode for any reason, instability can emerge that's difficult to diagnose. A stable approach is to establish a fixed override voltage of 1.15V without any offsets. It's advisable to update the BIOS revision, as some models like the X570 Master and Taichi show improved stability with certain revisions (e.g., 3600 CL14) compared to others. Testing multiple BIOS versions on different AGESA kits can help identify the most reliable configuration.
It sounds like you're aiming for a balance between performance and stability. Adjusting the offset to 1.15v might give you better results, especially if your current setting is under 1.1v. Checking the latest BIOS versions can help you pick the most compatible one.
It seems there might be some adjustments being made to the system settings, possibly downgrading to version 4801 and changing the memory frequency to 3200 instead of 3600. However, I notice issues when trying to switch back to 3600 or 3200 MTs configurations. The exact reason isn unclear, but I wish I could simply click a button to restore the original settings.
