I recently put together a machine with the following specs
Asus rog Strix trx40
amd 3970x
G.skill F4-3600C17Q-64GTZR
nvidia 1070ti
dark rock pro tr4 cpu cooler with thermal grizzly
evga 1000 watt gold
For some reason I can't reach maximum single core boost speeds of 4.5ghz. I have updated the chipset, updated windows, updated the bios. I have set my ram xmp in the bios. I have put all the fans to 100% which include 5 case fans and 2 cpu fans. The best I can get is around 4.35.
I wrote amd and they said my ram is NON-QVL RAM and maybe causing the issue. Would this particular ram cause any issues with my stated board? G.skill F4-3600C17Q-64GTZR 16g x4
