Hi everyone, 

I have a Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS  motherboard , with the latest bios update installed.

2x 16 gb ram G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC  32 GB DDR4 3600 MHz 

i've also downloaded the latest AMD chipset drivers.

i have 2 problems:

1 :  enabling DOCP to run the ram at their DOCP setting of 3600 makes the system not post. max i can get is 3000 mhz. (1500)

2: the cpu would not boost past 3600mhz ever, its just capped there and the cpu stays cool as a cucumber at between 55 and 60 degrees when i hit it with cinebench.

I've updated the bios flash, the amd drivers... 

i dont know what to do more... do i have a bad cpu ? 

greetings,

Id look at the memory first,.. just me.

If this is a cpu upgrade, try a CMOS reset (remove the battery for 2 minutes) and/or load optimized defaults in bios. You should also be using the Windows balanced power plan for the 5000 series.

it is a full new system.

I've tried other ramsticks , from the same brand and certified on the motherboard manufacturer, wont even post with the other sticks in .

it WOULD post with only one of the sticks .

Something is off with the system, i just cant put my hand on it. it is acting really weird, not accepting DOCP settings and beeing really temperamental witch ram.

Agree, but it posts, its not the cpu

RE: The cpu.... Do you have PBO and all core boost enabled in bios ?

[Arcolion]

It only post when i set the transfer rate to 3000 or lower. 

the ramsticks are xmp rated for 3600 cl16

i bought other sticks 3200 CL 14 , they wont work , system dousn't post , ONLY when i put only 1 stick in.

Both ramsticks are on the supported list on the motherboard support website.

Tinkering with the IF to set it as example 1:1 so for 3600 , i'd set it to 1300 , same result , no post.

Just to make sure. Have you put the memory in the correct dimm slots ? I've known people build pc's and forget that they need to be in the correct channels

[Arcolion]

the memory have been put in the correct slots :s
