XMP issues
Hello, your issue involves XMP settings affecting your system's performance after sleep. You've disabled XMP and restored the RAM speed to 2400MHz, which seems to be working. The Kingston FURY beast 2x8 GB 3600MHz is installed on an MSI A520M A-PRO motherboard with a Ryzen 5 4500 and RX6500XT. Since you don't want to change your CMOS settings, consider checking the BIOS for any manual adjustments or ensuring the RAM is properly seated. If the problem persists, consult the manufacturer's support for further guidance.
I’d start by turning off XMP and adjusting the memory settings directly in the BIOS. Set the speed to 3600MT/s, match the voltage from the package label, and configure the timings according to the printed values (tCL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS). The exact model number isn’t clear because Kingston offers many Fury Beast kits with varying timings.
The PC is around two and a half years old, and I don’t see any signs of failure.
The instruction refers to installing 16GB of memory, split into two 8GB modules, using DDR4 RAM with a 3600MHz clock speed, CL17-21-21, and 1.35V voltage. To avoid damaging the RAM, ensure you use genuine manufacturer parts and follow the correct installation guidelines.
You might receive defective components from the factory. While uncommon, quality assurance isn't flawless and sometimes faulty items pass through. It's conceivable you received one of those, but adjusting the XMP settings yourself should likely resolve the issue. Generally, this is just a minor step, though precise tuning may be required here. The 3600MT/s speed appears in the box marked "DRAM Frequency" within the Advanced Mode OC menu. Move down to the Advanced DRAM Configuration option and enter the timing values (CL17-21-21) in the sequence tCL-tRCD-tRP, ensuring tRCDRD and tRCDWR match tRCD, with all other parameters set to auto. Continue scrolling until you reach the DRAM voltage setting and confirm it's at 1.35V. Press F10 to save and exit, then wait to verify proper operation.
