Adding 2 new Ram Sticks, stability

[repije]

Hello everyone, first post here!

Just built my first computer like 3 months ago, and now I'm adding 2 new Ram sticks.
Mobo - x570 E-gaming
CPU - Ryzen 5 5900x

I had 2*8GB at 3600Mhz CL 18 for the 3 months 0 issues, just with the XMP in the bios active.
Ram - CMW16GX4M2D3600C18

I bought another 2*8GB last week same reference - CMW16GX4M2D3600C18.

After adding the 4 sticks, system boots the ram is still at 3600Mhz CL18, but after some time I got a green screen.
I did the windows mem test, and at 5% it said hardware fault was detected, still the test finished without anything else.
I can use the computer, it was on all night doing some light crypto mining to test if it would give any problem, but today I woke up and it was still on and running.
Been working for a bit and nothing new happened.

Should i expect more green screens or loss of data while working? How can I test and fix so i'm sure it won't crash on me in the future or that i don't have 2 bad ram sticks waiting to "blow"?

I run typhoon software on all 4 rams and they have different manufacturer.



Line 1 and 2 (50h and 51h) are like this:



Line 3 and 4(52h and 53h) are like this:




About messing with the bios for timings etc, i'm a complete noob but I can test any ideas that you send me!

Thanks!

Well you have 2 options:
1. Run at reduced frequency, try running the memory at 3000mhz
2. Use only 2 sticks of the same manufacturer
Running with unstable RAM can lead to windows corruption later on.

Thanks for the reply!

Would be it bad to try to fix the timining manually ? Or this would not solve anything?


I'm not sure if iCue shows this for all 4 sticks

I'm still running the computer since yesterday and no crash, working normally.

Thank you

Timings or/and voltage settings will help. Do so manually to get the perfect stability you seek for.

Hi thanks for the reply,

Is there any software to automaticly get the best values for Zen 3, since i have a ryzen 5 5900x?

Dram calculator only has for Zen2 and still the software gives so much metrics i'm lost in what i should be aiming / changing.

Thanks

You really need to scrap the RAM you have now get 16GB's of some sweet Gskill matched PAIR! You will never see the full potential of the CPU or the RAM unless you do.

I would be happy with the 4 slots at 3600Mhz CL18, they are now, just afraid of stability in future.

Best case scenario i could return the new pack of 2*8GB I just got. not the initial ones.

The problem is this:
Original sticks use Samsung chips:

New sticks use Nanya chips:

Dunno how the hell can they be rated as CL18 if XMP profile has CL44?

Which means not only you have to troubleshoot quad channel configuration on Zen 3 but also have to deal with shitbin on new sticks and combining those with Samsung's.

Do you need 32 GB of ram? Is troubleshooting this above your skill level? Is there anyone here willing to help guide you through the process?

If all of the above are "No." then go ahead and return the new sticks.

I'm running four sticks at 3800MHz CL16, just increase the memory Voltage a bit and you should hopefully be fine.

I leave the profile active in bios and just increase the voltage for the ram? I'm not sure what is now but for example if i have 1.2 i go to 1.3 ?

Can't turn off the computer running a work related thing.

Thanks

I can't run XMP with my RAM, so I'm no help there, all manual settings for me.
Normal RAM Voltage is 1.35V, you should be able to go to 1.4V no problem, as long as there's decent airflow in the case.
Considering you seem to have B-dies, you might even be able to go a bit higher, at least based on what other people are doing.

Yes I need around 26/30GB for some work,

Yes i'm not sure if the new ones i got are samsung or the other way around.

I had 2*8GB in the 2nd and 4th slot (furthest from the cpu)

Then I added the new ones at 1st and 3rd slots

SPD 50th and 51th are Samsungs
SPD 52th and 53th are Nanya

Does this have any corelation to the physical slots so i know what ram is what ?

I could try and reorder and see if i get some samsungs, unless corsair does not procude with them anymore :/ ?

Full load CPU and GPU my ram is at 38 celcius max, is this ok for ram? Never even checked temps on ram to be honest.

Ah, missed the fact that you had mixed DRAM ICs, that might be a bit of a mess.
I have four sets of matched Hynix based modules.
Yeah, you might have to do a lot of extra fiddling to get that to work nicely together, including lower clocks as someone suggested.

Is there any possible way to return this and order again and hope for a Samsung B-die chip inside ?

I searched just now and corsair has a version control, but you always need to open the case to see this version number to know the chip inside.

Unless the store you order from keeps old stock you're pretty much playing a lottery here.

Return new sticks, sell of old sticks, buy something from the QVL:

I will try to get a representative of corsair via amazon and try to return this ones for a samsung ones.
Maybe easier


Do I have any assurances that it will be more stables with 4 samsung B-die, or no conflits ?

Or just that if it does not at least i have the best chance of manually OC the rams and have success ?

@trickson
lol, the gskill kits i tried to use for 2 gaming build for friends, wouldn't even post unless v was at 1.35 (set with a different kit),
5 boards from 3 different brands running 3600/37003/3800, and they were on the qvl.
(outside them not doing anything past specs of 3600cl18, while even the non qvl corsair was running with 1.2v, and even cl16 with 1.35)

brand name doesnt guarantee anything, its the chips on the stick, and they arent gskill...

Gskill I just love there stuff.
Every set of Gskill RAM I have currently all run at the RATED speed. SO the Ram for the R7 3700X is running at 3466MHz at 1.35Volt
I Have some corsair viper stuff but it sucks It only runs at 1066Mhz Try the rated XMP speed and it just will not post at all. CRAP RAM. I am going to change the ram in that system instead.
Thanks for helping me out TPU I really thought that AMD had the Quad ram going I am wrong though. Well unless you get a threadripper.

I swapped around the stick position wise, the CAS 44 disappeared from the Nanya ram all showing the same numbers as Samsung now.

1 Nanya
2 Samsung
3 Samsung
4 Nanya

Only 1 page reported error in the full test from windows mem test instead of the 14/16 pages erros from the previous configuration!

Would increase the voltage to 1.4V help in this ? Does it harm the hardware ?

I have 1.35V with XMP enabled, haven't manual tweaked anything yet.

1.35-1.4 on RAM is fine I have found 1.35 is the sweet spot for most RAM.
The corsair I have likes 1.4v!! No SHIT! It's funny but it runs fine there drop it to 1.35 and the system fails to POST!

Would it matter ? For this problem?

It may help see the corsair RAM I have in the R3 system is an unmatched pair but a pair from the "Same" Batch. Yet they such at working together lol so 1.4volts and it is fine.

Hi,
Corsair only way to bin those is the ver.# on each stick
Their terrible about using the cheapest parts at the time of manufacturing for products never know what you get until you look at the sticks.

Exactly.
I love Gskill they just have the best RAM I have ever had even the RipJaws DDR3 is AMAZING!
