I'm facing difficulties with my Asus TUF B550m Plus WiFi. It doesn't seem to manage more than two RAM sticks with XMP/DOCP settings effectively. Previously, I used two HyperX Fury 8GB CL16 sticks at 3200Mhz with the built-in DOCP profile. For a gift, I upgraded to a Kingston Fury Beast with 32GB total. However, the HyperX models have been rebranded under Kingston, so I opted for a similar configuration. When installing the new sticks, my PC refused to boot; resetting the BIOS resolved it. After re-enabling DOCP, the same problem persisted. I reset the BIOS multiple times and experimented with different RAM combinations—each pair worked well individually, but adding a third or fourth stick caused issues. Currently, I'm running at 2400Mhz, though I could still use 16GB for everyday tasks. I'm curious if others have faced similar challenges and if you know of solutions. I've also heard ASUS motherboards sometimes encounter this issue, but it's hard to confirm. The prebaked DOCP profile often causes the PC to boot briefly, then shut down for several seconds repeatedly—usually three times in a row. I found a spreadsheet with overclock settings up to 3000Mhz, excluding CPU, GPU, and SOC adjustments. For my Athlon 3000G processor, these settings led to repeated POST attempts without shutting down. I tried boosting the voltage beyond 1.35V, but my BIOS caps it at that level. Any tips on optimizing overclocking or advice on replacing the motherboard? AM4 models are an option if you're considering a swap. Thanks in advance.
