Hi,
This is my first desktop PC I've built in 10 years, I have consistently using powerful laptops for Data Science. I decided to purchase a PC to optimize my workflow and open new possibilities using VM's.
I've never done OC before, but after watching a lot of these tech channels I was pretty sure that at least enable the XMP profile and get the memory speed of the box would be an easy task.
Yet here I am...
My system is a fresh build, selected the parts and guys from MicroCenter built it for me (I know I could have built it myself but I have handicap and the build was pretty expensive, didn't want to risk damaging what essentially is a business investment). Unfortunately the guy at Microcenter did not enable this stuff for me so I tried it my self.
My system:
TR 3960x
128 Gb G-Skill 3600 Mhz
3080 FE
MSI Creator MotherBoard
The BIOS, I just basically ticked the XMP button, left everything else AUTO:
When I saved and exited the BIOs, after the computer tried booting I got a crash screen. Tried playing around with it a little but couldn't make the RAM memory to work at 3600 mhz.
Any advise for a newbie on how to troubleshoot this without me having to back to MicroCenter?
