Recently bought these from newegg along with the other components of this system:
cpu: Ryzen 3900x
mobo: MSI x570-A PRO
gpu: Gigabyte 2070s
ssd: Samsung 970 evo plus
ram: Trident Z RGB, 16x2 @3200 (16-18-18-38) 1.35v
Description of problems:
Ram works fine at 2133 clock speed (the default), but I have not been able to get both sticks running at 3200, for which they are advertised and rated. Activating XMP profile causes a non-post scenario, with cmos reset being required. Manually tweaking the clock speed and setting the voltage (tried both 1.35v and 1.36v) results in the same problems...
When I try the sticks one at a time, one of them works perfectly at 3200, but the other one causes a very quick system crash (on windows loading screen) or possibly prevents booting entirely.
To summarize, they work fine together at the default clock, but they do not work together at 3200. One of the sticks does work at 3200, but the other does not (full disclosure, i only tried booting with only the possibly defective RAM twice because I dont want to risk damaging my other components, and because the other stick works fine).
I have gotten very friendly with applying a butter-knife to my cmos reset pins, and spent around 10 hours trying to get the sticks to work together @ 3200.
I'm at my wits end. What should I do?
