Rog Strix B460-F Not Booting After Setting RAM to 3600MHz
Asked by

I recently tried to set my RAM speed to 3600MHz on my Rog Strix B460-F motherboard, and now my PC won't boot. Here are my specs: I'm using an Intel I7 10400F CPU, an RTX 3060 GPU, and T-Force Xtreem ARGB 3600MHz RAM (2x8GB). I've also updated to the latest BIOS version. Does anybody have suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

It sounds like you might have pushed the RAM speed beyond what your motherboard can handle since B460 boards generally don't support RAM speeds higher than 2666MHz with that CPU. Try clearing the CMOS to reset your BIOS to default settings and see if that helps.

RAM overclocking can be tricky and may not always work as expected. If you can access the BIOS, try clearing the CMOS or selecting a different profile. While you might not reach the full 3600MHz, you may be able to get close. Just be cautious with manual adjustments!
GamerNinja42: Thanks for the suggestions! Luckily, I can still get into the BIOS, so I might just try tweaking the settings there without doing a full reset.

CuriousBuilder: I did enable XMP, and it initially set my RAM to around 2998MHz, so I manually adjusted it to 3600MHz, but that's when the boot issue started.
