I've chosen to boost my RAM speed and everything works fine, but when I restart the computer it fails to boot once and then works after. This only happens if I power off and on the machine instead of just shutting it down. It only occurs when I overclock it above 2400Mhz, running at 2933Mhz with 1.35V. Hope someone can assist me—I haven't found anyone else facing this issue.

DDR4-2666 Memory might function at reduced rates, though achieving faster speeds isn't guaranteed. Using several units together doesn't ensure compatibility and could lead to performance issues, preventing the memory from starting properly. This might be why your 2666MHz model doesn't reach its full speed.

restore ram to standard configuration then apply cpu-z spr to identify the optimal jedec settings. Compare these with the memory tab and consider enabling axmp in uefi bios to achieve maximum speed.

Certainly! Here is the requested information:

The full name and model of the RAM are as follows: [Full Name] [Model].

scout_03 :
return ram to default then test with cpu-z spr to find the best jedec settings you can. Compare those to the memory tab and consider enabling axmp in uefi bios for maximum speed.

scout_03 :
could you provide the full name and model of the ram?
It appears in the pcpartpicker i linked, but here it's listed as:
2x G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2666C15S-8GVR

DDR4-2666 Memory might operate more slowly, though faster speeds aren't guaranteed. Using several kits together isn't assured to work well and could lead to performance issues, preventing the memory from running at its intended speed and possibly causing boot failures. This might be why your 2666MHz memory doesn't perform as expected. It should start up properly if you power off and turn it back on, which seems confusing.

this ram isn't included in the support list for is maker's board, and ryzen tends to be selective about ram options.

My opinion is i dont see any point in overclocking RAM, there is hardly much difference between DDR3 & DDR4. Its just more heat for a very small percentage in improvement of RAM performance
