Quick question, if you've bought a motherboard and RAM which shows as compatible with each other and you flashed to the latest BIOS is there any simple reason why it would keep booting into safe mode when you choose XMP for the RAM and it's showing the correct settings? MotherboardRIME B560M-A RAM: F4-3600C17D-32GTZKW Thanks in advance!
Are they put into the correct slots? Can you set speeds manually in BIOS? Maybe raise voltages just a little over XMP defaults. Sometimes this helps. Good luck.
Yeah. Correct placement is the first thing to check. On many mainboards, if you use only two modules, they need to be placed into slots 2 and 4, leaving 1 and 3 empty. Other than that, "compatible" might mean they only checked stock clocks, not XMP.
Are you using XMP at 3600? If so, you have to increase voltages for SoC, VDDP and VDDG. Remember that the official speed for Zen+ is 2933 MT/s, above that it's overclocking and requires adjustments.
Enabling XMP will raise voltages to match whatever the module reports in its XMP profile, unless you had it manually set before to anything other than "auto". In that case, the manual voltage will be used. So better double-check that you didn't modify voltage or RAM timings manually before enabling XMP. Might be a good idea to reset your BIOS settings to default, then reboot, then enable XMP and see if it works then.
XMP doesn't have information for voltages of things like SoC, Infinity Fabric, CLDO, etc. It only has for vdimm, and it's just 1.35v for most kits.
Use cpuz and see if something crazy has happed like the ram sticks now have different speeds. If so, you will have to set them manually.
Hi guys, sorry I never got back to you at the time, very weird update, we put one stick in, all on Auto just the speed correctly set to 3600, ran memtest, did the full 3 hours and passed. Next morning went to put the second stick in, went into the Bios and instead of being Auto it had somehow set itself to XMP 1, read all the correct settings and was booting the PC just fine at 3600, which simply wouldn't happen before. Put the second stick of Ram in, booted at XMP 1 without issue, left it doing Memtest for nearly 5 hours. zero errors, so odd! So this issue is thankfully resolved! Unfortunately my own build which I put together last night (took a while for all the parts to arrive!) is having a similar issue so I'll start a new thread on that.
