Hello All,
I have another thread to add into the long list of ram stability.
Build:
TUF x870 Plus Wifi
9800x3d
Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz CL36 4x16GB (CMH32GX5M2E6000Z36)
I am having a ton of stability issues with this RAM.
Crashes out of game, sometimes full crash of PC.
I've ran DOCP 1 and 2. 2 seems more stable but still crashing often.
I updated to Bios Version 0830 and its seemingly the same as factory shipped BIOS which is 0237.
Should I not have any auto function for RAM in the bios? Any recommended manual settings to get this thing stable at 6000? Should I go down to 5600?
I've seen others state they eventually got the same build with same cpu and memory stable at 6000.
Thank you for any insight!

Both BIOS referenced appear to be for the STRIX MOBO. I have the TUF x870 version. Thank you, though!

Hello GandolfsDring
Your memory part number shows it's a 2x16GB memory kit. 4x16GB indicates you're combining two memory kits, which is not recommended.
Suggest to pair up your two memory kits and use one memory kit in the A2-B2 slots (2nd and 4th slots from the cpu).
See if your memory is more stable with one memory kit.

So we cannot use 4 of the same exact memory sticks. AKA 2 of the 2x16?
I've built numerous AM4 machines with DDR4 and it was possible. Is this a DDR5 limitation?
This is pretty disappointing and a bit hilarious. I do see the image you posted, appreciate the input.

Well, what happens is, when you combine two memory kits, you're doubling up on the capacity and expecting the same frequency (speed). It's basically too much for the cpu's memory controller to handle.
It looks like you're able to use the four sticks.
To achieve stability, you'll have to settle for a lower frequency and/or loosen the primary timings. Tuning voltages may help you get a higher frequency, but I doubt you'll be able to run all 4 sticks at 6000MHz.
Best thing to do is just use one memory kit, 32GB is plenty. I'm only using 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000MHz. For optimal performance, 6000MHz is a good frequency for gaming.
You might can squeeze out a little more performance by overclocking a kit to 6200MHz - 6400MHz.
