When I enable XMP, my computer fails to start.
When I enable XMP, my computer fails to start.
My PC specs are:
Ryzen 5 3600x
MSI x570 Gaming Plus
Tforce delta 3600 mhz 8x2
Rtx 2060
Every time I enable XMP, the system won’t boot. I reset the CMOS and tried 3200 mhz, it works but then auto-restarts and stops booting. I reset again and set it to 2933 mhz, now it functions.
I want to configure my RAM to match 3600 mhz for optimal performance. What should I do? Help
I tested my RAM on a friend’s PC and XMP works fine. He has a Ryzen 5 3600 motherboard, MSI x570 Gaming Edge WiFi. Sorry for the grammar issues.
This indicates a BIOS version that isn't currently supported on MSI's site and an AGESA release from 2019 that appears outdated. It seems this early V1 launch had several issues, so updating would be beneficial. The recommended update is 7C37vA9, which includes AGESA ComboPI 1.0.0.2, though it's labeled as V2 1.0.0.2.
3600Mhz is a quite high memory clock and definitely an overclock for Zen2 chips rated at 3200. It might be possible to get it to work, but I don't believe every CPU/memory/mobo setup will function automatically just by applying XMP. First, check if both XMP profiles (XMP1 and XMP2) are applicable. Next, consider manually adjusting the DRAM voltage. Begin by setting it to the same voltage as the DIMM's rating (usually listed on the package), then gradually increase it until the system boots. DDR4 DRAM should support up to 1.5V but should not exceed 1.40. If this doesn't succeed, you'll need to fine-tune it manually using TAIFUN and the DRAM Calculator to find suitable values. If that seems too complicated, simply load the voltage and timings provided on the DIMM package, set the frequency to 3200, and leave it as is.
All of them failed to work. Perhaps it's because my motherboard isn't updated. I'm worried it might brick without using MFLASH since I don't have a flash drive.
Your board uses which BIOS version? BIOSZ often displays this in the Version section on the Mainboard tab, while HWInfo lists it under Motherboard details. M-Flash is recommended for updates, but you'll need a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file in the root directory.
Here is the information you requested:

This indicates a BIOS version A.00 that isn't shown on MSI's support site, along with AGESA 1.0.0.2 dated June 4, 2019. It points to an early V1 launch of AGESA with several issues. Updating would be a wise choice for you. The recommended update is 7C37vA9, which includes AGESA ComboPI 1.0.0.2 but is labeled as V2 1.0.0.2.
Hi!
Do you know which version you installed for it to function properly? Also, did you update through MSI Dragon Center or did you flash it using a USB drive? Thanks in advance!
