Memory won't overclock

[marksfiumara]

Config:

Asus Rog Strix x570E

Amd R9 5950x

Mem:  Corsair CMK16GX4M203600C18

Bios:  4408

DOCP enabled, shows 3600mhz.  Task manager shows 2133mhz!  Why?

Hi @marksfiumara 

Wouldn't trust Task Manager. Open CPU-Z and navigate to the memory tab.

This should be reported correctly (1800MHz)

Check  with CPU-Z.  Shows 1066mhz.

CPU-Z shows 1066

Can you confirm DOCP I is enabled in the UEFI?

If so:

1. Navigate to the tools menu in UEFI and select ASUS SPD info
2. Check that both DIMMs contain the same/correct SPD data for DOCP profile [depictated as XMP 1 in screenshot].

[marksfiumara]

DOCP is enabled.  There is no DOCP 1.  The DIMMs has identical part numbers:   CMK16GX4M2D3600C18.

Please check the SPD information as instructed above

[marksfiumara]

DIMMs:  A2, B2

Corsair

8192MB

2133MHZ

DDR

SPD Ext:  XMP

XMP Rev:  2.0

That is all the info SPD provides.

Are you able to take a screenshot (F12 in BIOS with USB drive connected) or take a photo on your phone. There should be timing and voltage information listed for both modules.
