XMP is triggering a blue screen error.
XMP is triggering a blue screen error.
You have 2x8GB RAM with 3600MHz each, but the BIOS shows 2360MHz. Enabling XMP caused a blue screen, though you adjusted the DRAM voltage to 1.35V as recommended. The issue persists, and disabling XMP only reduces performance to 60% of its potential. Consider checking for firmware updates, verifying BIOS settings, or testing with a different RAM module.
Yes, the Ryzen 5 1600 is mentioned in another post. The first-gen Ryzen struggles with 3600MHz, often only reaching it occasionally.
You're likely facing a speed cap of 2800-3200MHz with a first-gen Ryzen 5, which comes from the memory controller limitations. For better performance, consider higher-speed RAM that operates at lower latency without XMP enabled. Exploring latency tuning could help, though it may add complexity and not always deliver significant gains.
Adjust the SOC to 1.2 and DRAM to 1.35. Then test 2666 using XMP/DOCP. Check for stability. Gradually increase to the advertised speed.
Someone else mentioned my CPU couldn't handle it... I can give it a shot?
Observe the limits of performance. Follow my advice: adjust the soc to 1.2, dram to 1.35, and then test 2666 with xmp/ docp enabled. Gradually increase until you reach the advertised speeds. Check the results as you progress.
You can modify the frequency manually until it seems steady, then adjust the timing accordingly. This approach can bring performance close to what would be expected at 3600MHz. The process involves many adjustments and fine-tuning.
