Need help bringing timings to what they are supposed to be

Ram in question

17471820701156849213226535774399.jpg
Bios

Does this look right?

I tried the 30, 38, 38, etc at 1.35 but nope
 
Can you take a normal screenshot please, of all the tabs on cpu-z. You can open it multiple times. I don't think your profile system specs match what you are actually working on....
 
It's the jginyue b650i motherboard known for the issue of ram. So I'm just adjusting the settings. The xmp or expo profile doesn't work at all on this board so it requires to do things manually.

Modified it again on the bios

All you have to do is type in these primary timings, and leave the secondary timings at auto. Some sticks though have some of secondary timings in the SPD ROM when XMP/EXPO is enabled so you may be missing out on those timings not set to an optimal level.

Don’t forget to change the VDIMM voltage to 1.35, and the memory multiplier to one for 6000.

Hmm, maybe SoC voltage needs to go up?

Didn't try to further increase voltage. It's at settings I have above and doing memtest64. I tried last for over an hour but forgot system auto went into sleep mode. So doing again.

Yeah, checking his original post VDD/Q is set at default 1.1v, good call.

For some reason when he enables XMP and hits F10 to save the settings, the bios doesn't seem to set up the XMP profile. So I'm not certain the secondaries are setup properly either. It doesn't show the "current value" to determine what "auto" means.

Edit: Additional Comment:
He should be able to view most of the timings of his memory sticks in bios. There should be an SPD reading for him to utilize to set up the entire timing set, or at least more than just the 4 primaries.

The bios is wonky on this board.

I had changed the bios memory voltage, all 3 listed for voltage. 1350 for the first 2 and last 1.35. Will not boot and had to do a cmos reset in order to get it back up when using the timings listed foe this ram.

Yessir, I believe you. So that doesn't make you crap at memory timings, it just means you have a crap board.

Set VDD and VDDQ to 1350
Set IO no higher than 1.20v
Set memory timings all copied from SPD from in the bios
Set the DRAM frequency to 5600 to test the XMP timings at this speed.
F10 save bios.
Test it.
Passes, Try 5800mhz.
Passes, Try 6000mhz.

right now its at 6000

40
48
48
96
144

all 3 voltage set at:
1350
1350
1.35

OCCT doing an SSE memory test. Ill see if there are errors.

When I had:

1350
1350
1.35

6000
30
38
38
96
145

It wouldn't post.

Once its done OCCT for a bit, I will try what you suggested.

It's all good. It'll probably do the XMP timings at a lower frequency. Just not sure how low..... so start low.... 5200 even. You know, just to see. But yeah, use the XMP profile timings and voltage settings.
