Hello
I recently upgraded to ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gamingf Wifi with Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I chose these memory sticks listed in motherboard support page Corsair Dominator Titanium 4 x 16GB CMP64GX5M4B6000C36. They are XMP, not DOCP or EXPO but they are listed as compatible with the motherboard, as I said.
I tried DOCP I (with ASUS improvements), DOCP II (memory DOCP settings), I even lowered the freq from 6000 to 5800 and raised the timings from 36-36-36-76 to 38-38-38-77. Same result: The motherboard successfully trains the memory, boots normal and it even works for a while (minutes, hours) until it the whole system hangs or crash. Randomly. I can play the most demanding game and no problem for it to crash in YouTube 10 minutes later.
Does anyone find a stable configuration for these memory sticks? Or is something physically defective.

Since BIOS version 1104 (were now at 1203) the compability greatly improved. 4 dimms never were realy a AMD thing due to dual chanel memcontroller, but if not already updated to latest BIS version, u might give it a try.
Worked great for me, before it was only stable at 5800, not it runs at 6200 and a FCLK of 2200 without any hickups.
Hope this answer helps u.

I updated to 1203 as soon as I installed everything.

any code when the reboot hangs? there is a setting in bios under tweakers paradise I believe that you can enable if hanging on reboot occurs it says. Mine was doing Od code on reboot till I came across this in bios. Freezing when on the pc thou is this using google or edge? I know windows 11 24h2 did something that made mine freeze in either google or edge. hardware acceleration was enabled in both and once disabled both google and edge work without freezing. Just a thought

The usual 0d or C6 which both seem to be related to system instability related to memory. Freeze occurs randomly when on DOCP, not only when browsing (I'm using Chrome). One time froze when I was copying something from an external drive.

I went back to 1104 bios. Start up, disk read and write speeds and other things were faster then on 1203. Played much better for me. Under extreme tweaker setting called monitoring software reboot workaround for 06 code. I had to enable this even though I can run memtest all night and no errors so hopefully your ram is good
Have you updated the firmware on the usb ports. There is
ASM2074:ASUS_2074FWUpg3003_230830150104_V5
ASM4242:ASMx424X_FWUpdateV40013_u424241022200011AcmAPDV5
ASUS LEGO IT8857GX V0203 Firmware Update Tool
I also went into device manager and all usb hubs that I could find I clicked and changed power management setting to not allow pc to turn off when not using.

Yes, I updated the USB firmware for all controllers.
The RAM isn't even very aggressive, is 36-36-36-76. FCLK is 2000, UCLK is 3000 = MCLK 3000. Nothing forced, in my opinion.

Thanks, "monitoring software reboot workaround" helped a lot. It seems the system is stable (DOCP Tweaked, lowered at 5600 MT) now but I need to test it further.

So in the last few hours, I am @ 5600 MHz. I'm manually overclocking with VDDSOC @ 1.145 everything else per previous comment. I don't want to say I'm stable yet as I need more "stress testing". I ran Cinebench 23 with success. Multicore: 22503 & Single Core: 2115. Note: In a number of memory increase attempts with various settings, Cinebench would run the multicore but froze during the Single Core test. I'll let you know tomorrow if I've run into any issues. I'll try Hogwart's Legacy (challenging game) and MSFS to see if they run without issue.
I don't know if the VDDSOC needs to be at that voltage or less because I wasn't fastidious in incrementing only by .005 mV. At some point I might drop this voltage to see if the board remains stable. Did you set your VDDSOC to a particular voltage OR did you leave in AUTO.
Like I said, some of my crashes/reboots could have been by other issues so that may have led me astray. I am keeping a diary of all my actions so I can better determine what and what not works.

I just let it on Auto. I wanted to see if the system own settings are stable before trying to tinker with them.
