I have 4 sets of 3600 mhz DDR-4 8 gb rams. But at the default bios settings, It runs at 2666 Mhz. I tried A-XMP presets but system fails to launch. Here are my cpu-z and bios screen menu. How can I make the correct adjustments in order to run at advertised speeds?

Get a screenshot of all your Voltage Settings. You might need to manually set the DRAM voltage to 1.35v and another setting due to having 4 sticks.

Maybe this can help...https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#gskill-042-code

Under "Game Boost" hit the XMP 2 button. F10 and restart should be all you need to do. I think that's what you're asking?

Try with only 2 sticks first. :)

I have this board and it will not do 4 DIMMs at 3600MHz even if that is the XMP for the RAM. This board in particular has so much going on that the Memory OC on 4 sticks is not good. If you want try 2 sticks and use Mem Tryit in the BIOS to see if you can get 4000 MHz using 2 sticks. That will usually work but make sure you check HWinfo64 for errors. You could potentially get 3200MHZ on all 4 but the timings will still be loose.

I dont think that X570s can be worse than B450 tomahawk on RAM OC (used to have an b350 PC MATE some time ago that worked with 3400 on Zen1) , i can push 3800mhz on RAM (maybe even more , but my IMC its limited to 3733mhz stable) on Zen2 B450.

I wrote is on TPU discord, so I'll just copy and paste what I wrote.

The two things I would do to start. Try each kit at AXMP separately. If it works. All 4 DIMMs, enable AXMP and manually set the memory to 3200 at the same time. If that works, now you know its just a timing / voltage thing to play around with

I know my own x570s will not run 4 sticks at xmp. Hence suggestion of trying 2 sticks :)

All four sticks are same brand and model except one is made by micron the other is samsung. Is that make any difference?

Also, Do A-xmp profile not compatible with 4 slot ram?
