Hi guys!
I have finished assembling the PC build.
I encountered a problem with Patriot Viper4 RAM memories along the way.
After loading 3600 profile in BIOS (updated) it didn't want to boot to windows.
I didn't have time to run memtest but I tried to swap them to my friends build (x570, 3800x) and he had the same issue.
I borrowed from him his ram stick (2x32 RipjawV 3600) and it booted just fine with 3600 profile loaded.
Fortunately, the store accepted the return.
Now I gonna use GSkill F4-3600C18D-64GTZN


Best,
Marcin

Hi guys. I'm new on the forum. I finally finished assembling my ''little'' workstation build for 3dsmax+CoronaRenderer. Rougly as yours Marcell86 and elquenuncaviene.
And I can confirm F4-3600C18D-64GVK works. No troubleshooting to run at DOCP settings.

CPU: Ryzen 5950x
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-E Gaming
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15s
Memory: F4-3600C18D-64GVK 128GB (4x32gb)
GPU: used Asus GeForce GTX 970 STRIX OC - 4 Go (as long as there is no RTX in stock)
Case: Fractal Meshify 2 Compact
PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-750

All these brands (with exception of Crucial which is sub-brand of Micron manufacturer) source the same dies. They just do different binning, different quality assurance. But they mostly have the same hardware under those fancy heatsinks.

Buying memory is bit of lottery and it's less of a lottery the more you pay and with certain brands against others. Crucial and G.Skill have better reputation for binning that Corsair (they are memory specialists, while Corsair sells everything...absolutely everything).
G.Skill have billion different ranges that mostly just differ by heatsink design, but occasionally they have different XMPP/DOCP profile (the auto-overclock setting) and for example G.Skill Trident Z-Neo I think claims to be AMD optimized. Which may or may not be true.

Given the usual internet reference, people seem to be generally rather satisfied and I've seen far less complains than Corsair. Truth be told I have bought dozens of memory kits over years and had always some issues with Corsair memory.. so even I won't risk them.

Thanks to your reply Juraj, i went for the Ripjaws V and they turned out so great!

Hi fellas,

Just built a 5950x workstation with essentially exactly the same specs as the others here. So far so good but I cannot get to 3600 with the ram. 3200 is the closest I can get and it seems this is a common problem...

Is anyone else facing this issue atm?

Unfortunately, it's a lottery with three random factors you cannot influence:

- CPU memory controller binning.
- Motherboard memory support (this can be such picky thing like the distance of traces between CPU and Phase capacitators)
- Memory dies. This can change month from month depending on what the memory manufacturer sourced from dram manufacturer)

What you can do:

- Run the latest bios.
- Manually tweak memory settings. This is alchemy with lot of parameters. You can start by rising voltage little by little (1.36+), but this will increase heat which affects stability so you better have good case air-flow. It's no coincidence high-end kits often go to absurd levels like 1.5V.

Or you can just live with it. You will find it literally doesn't affect almost anything in actual real-world production. We're not talking high-FPS competitive gaming with CPU latency bound cases. But workstation usage. Zero drawbacks.
