The RAM isn't operating at its designed performance level.
I recently purchased a new RAM module, but after fitting it in, I noticed it doesn't reach its intended DOCP frequency. It seems this particular model isn't listed in the QVL, which is unusual given its co-branded status with ASUS's TUF Gaming Alliance. I'd prefer not to swap it out since it's the only one available that matches both 3600MHz and my color preferences for the build. I'm seeking guidance on possible actions: I can try manually adjusting the clock speed until it fails, but I'm unsure about handling all timing variations. Should I contact ASUS or G.Skill to inquire about supporting this specific setup at its rated speed through a BIOS update? Do they typically respond to customer feedback? Is there another approach I should consider?
I performed that action, yet the system repeatedly restarts three times and resets the timing to 2133MHz.
You might need to adjust your system settings through the BIOS, increasing memory capacity first, then follow similar steps on YouTube. Keep this in mind: boost clock speed until it becomes unstable, raise voltage until it stabilizes. Repeat this process until you reach the desired speed, then lower the voltage to its lowest stable level. The same applies for CPU overclocking.
It becomes unreliable when running at the memory's specified frequency. Consider using a lower speed such as 3200. I don't have details about your CPU or board, but that 3600MHz figure applies only to the memory module, not the board or the CPU's internal controller.
As long as your setup can handle 3600MHz, it's fine. Don't worry, the best way to understand is by asking questions.
