XMP/EVO RAM boosting causes the PC to refuse startup! Orange illumination appears on MOBO.
Hello, I'm curious about ways to enable XMP/Expo overclocking for my RAM without it failing to boot. I've heard sometimes the CPU memory might be the issue, but since I have a high-end processor, I'm not sure what's causing the problem and how to fix it. Thanks for any advice!
Also, the BIOS is already updated.
My specs are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 62 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi ATX AM5 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME SSD
Video Card: ASRock Phantom Gaming OC Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB Video Card
Case: Aerocool Shard ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor: Dell Alienware AW2523HF 24.5" 1920 x 1080 360 Hz Monitor
Motherboard: ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi ATX AM5 Motherboard
What BIOS version is installed on your motherboard?
Also, the BIOS has been updated.
Have you reset the CMOS after confirming the BIOS was successfully updated to the newest release?
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Are the RAM slots A2 and B2 being filled?

Just a note, there are very few intake vents, it seems likely to damage your components.

Hello, it seems the issue happened unexpectedly. I've been trying for several days to launch it to XMP, but one day it suddenly decided to proceed without me asking. Need some assistance!
If you're encountering difficulties with 6000MT/s, consider using a lower XMP speed. In theory, BIOS should allow choosing various memory speeds. The standard DDR5 JEDEC speed is usually 4800MT/s; try XMP/Expo 5200, then 5400, 5600, 5800 and perform a brief stress test at each. You may not reach 6000, but a consistent 5800 should be sufficient. I'm still using my 7950X at 4800MT/s for stability and since the 2x32GB RAM purchased in 2022 can't go up to 6000MT/s.
AMD has been a real challenge until you dive deeper.
Intel; XMP functions smoothly.
AMD; EXPO, XMP/DOCP don’t behave identically. Manual timings are required, especially for secondary settings.
I loaded the EXPO 2 profile and adjusted any Auto options to match the values shown there.
Interestingly, a 2000mhz FCLK seemed correct, but according to ChatGPT some processors prefer higher rates for 2133mhz stability.
After that, turned off Psm, svm, tsme, smee, data scramble, and importantly, disabled MRC (in the two available locations) until you confirm RAM stability, or just leave MRC off.
MRC can cause longer boot times (about 2 minutes for me), but allowing it to train each time reduces the chance of issues.
