A computer I have assembled is using the following components:
ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
G.Skill F4-3600C18Q-128GTZN
When setting the default XMP settings in BIOS (latest version, 2103), I can't even get past post: it tries a couple of times, then enters BIOS safe mode. Here I can adjust the XMP settings by lowering RAM clock frequency to 3200 MHz (from 3600 MHz), which enables me to boot to OS, however after 20 or so hours of operation the computer suddenly shut down without warning. A single complete pass of MemTest86 v8.4 reveals no errors - since it took four and a half hour, I haven't been able to run more extensive tests.
It boots to OS just fine using default JEDEC settings (no further stability tests done), so that's what I'm using right now.
I am very disappointed that the RAM kit is unable to run as advertised under optimal conditions. I am posting here to ask for help in troubleshooting eventual errors on my side.
I also have another question: The G.Skill website, the retailer's website and the stickers on the individual RAM sticks display the latencies 18-22-22-42 and the voltage 1.35V. A sticker on the kit box instead displays the latencies 18-25-25-45 and the voltage 1.40V. Why is this? Is this memory kit being falsely advertised as having better latency profile due to some mistake?
