Hi . I joined here to ask for help as this is the home of 1usmus and the Ryzen DRAM calculator. I've been building and rebuilding my own PCs for 20+ years although I'm no expert on the latest hardware I have some experience. I feel like I'm very close to getting my RAM to POST quickly and reliably but it needs something and I don't know what yet. Since I built this new PC 6 moths ago I've asked on other forums, tried various suggestions people have made and tried ideas of my own and not quite got there. So I hope someone here will help me out.
I have a ASUS Prime X470-pro with R5 3600 cpu, 16gb 3200 ballistix LT sport (micron E die according to thaiphoon) and a Strix GTX960 and the newest BIOS. The fist thing I want to know is what is happening when my GPU fan is spinning fast and loud for about 8 seconds before my PC screen comes on? The GPU didn't do this on my old Asus P6T motherboard. Is the motherboard trying to train the RAM with many different settings and failing? Is it a Ryzen thing? Is it because my motherboard doesn't have the right built in settings as my RAM is not on the QVL?
I've tried various things and the only thing that affects this is changing the memory settings. So far if the PC will boot a memory test will find no errors and everything else will run with no errors. If I load optimised default settings in the BIOS it will set the RAM to run at 2400 and the GPU fan will spin fast and loud for what seems like a long time before the screen comes on and the PC boots up. At least it will boot up the same every time like this, but it's far from ideal.
If I activate DOCP in the BIOS the RAM runs at 3200 and Post/boot is the same most times but sometimes it gets stuck at the loud GPU fan stage and never boots until I press the reset button several times or hold the power button until it turns off and then turn it on again it might do the 8 seconds loud part and then boot.
I've been experimenting with the Ryzen DRAM calculator and with 3200 V2 safe settings all entered in the BIOS, sometimes the PC will boot very fast with the GPU fan only spinning for an instant before turning off and the screen coming on. Which is a tantalising glimpse of how good it can be but if I turn it off and switch off at the wall the next boot will have the loud GPU period of slow POST.
These are that settings I'm working from:
