Hi everyone!
I have serious problems to get my build running stable. I've seen that adjusting voltages might help. I have not really any knowledge in that field and I'm afraid I could damage somithing.
First here is my build:
- Windows 10
- i9-9900k
- Gskill F4-3600C17Q-32GTZR memory, 4x8GB
- MSI RTX 2080 Ventus
- BIOS 0602
Drives:
- Samsung M2 SSD 970 Pro
- Samsung SSD 850 PRO
- Samsung SSD 850 EVO
- Legacy HDD
- BlueRay Player
As I turned the system on for the first time, it resulted in several reboots before it failed to BIOS. In the BIOS I set all to default, as there was no way to get the RAM running with the XMP profile, which now runs at 2133MHz. The system boots with that. I tested the RAM in memtest86+, no errors at all.
I did some stress tests in Windows and as I closed them all of the sudden I got a bluescreen. Restarted the PC, did serveral things (nothing special) and after about 10 minutes another bluescreen. I read in different threads increasing the voltage might be helpful. As I have no idea what to change exactly, I thought enabling AI overclock might do some stuff with the voltage. I enabled it and yeah it helped. I started youtube, steam and other things parallel and the PC ran through the whole night. Played BF5, Witcher 3, DOOM the day after for a several hours and had no crashes.
I thought that did the trick, but today I started the PC, immediately started DOOM -> bluescreen.
I tried it again: boot -> immediately start DOOM -> bluescreen!
Third try: boot -> do some "warm up" staff (starting different small programs) -> start DOOM -> works like a charm.
So I have two questions:
-Is my Strix a monday product and should it be replaced?
-If no, is there any way to get this thing running stable and also the RAM at it's intended speed (3600 MHz)?
As appendix I uploaded an image of my voltages
I would really appreciate any help and thx in advance!

Just in case i would make a mistake. IO is CPU VCCIO Voltage and SA is System Agent Voltage, is that correct?
I tried XMP 1 & 2, each time setting IO & SA to 1.2V still fails to boot.

Try manually setting memory rather than XMP....
Set ...dram voltage to 1.35v...dram frequency to 3600 mhz..set dram timings to 17-18-18-38 - 2N...set IO and SA voltages to 1.20v ....see if this helps.

Doesn't help either. Tried dram voltage up to 1.4v, sadly not success. Also tried LLC up to 6 like vvoid suggested, nope.
Should I do a BIOS update? But I read on the forum that this makes memory stability only worse 😕
