Do i have to buy a new motherboard..? I just installed G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) 3600 Mhz with Timings of 16-16-16-36 and i set xmp still throws a fit on cold boot i set it manually it still throws a fit on cold boot tried different bios tried different voltages and it still throws a fit.. I am at my wits end i just want the damn thing to work like it should. The board is a Phantom gaming x. Ever since i bought it i had nothing but problems

slots A2/B2? .. another thing you can try is manually set to 3600 and set to match XMP profile ..except change from 16-16-16-36 to 16-18-18-36 .. one of two things might be happening here ..(or both ..who knows) .. is that either you got some dud sticks .. or your CPU has a dud memory controller... my Hynix does 3600 with 16-18-18-18-36 timings at 1.375'ish voltage (might be 1.38v, it's been awhile since I've ran them at that speed)

it passes the memory test and it seems to boot just fine at the moment

sounds like you are closer to what your RAM can do .. try manual 3600 CAS 18-20-20-20-38 .. if that works ..then dial it in a little tighter if you want.. 1.36v or so .. at the very least, make sure ram is 1.35v

Basically , mess with ram timings/voltage until it's stably booting all the time without the retraining

giving specifics is always helpful for those that are trying to help you .. like a link to your exact RAM .. BIOS version .. Power supply, video card .. slots memory are installed in ..etc ..

more info helps others to help you better seeing the whole of your setup

i am starting to think it is my memory controller i tried different memory and i can not get it to cold boot at 3800mhz bus speed i tried 3 different memory kits and it does boot at 3800 after i set the bios but when i turn off the computer it throws a fit.. It worked great on auto but the speed is very slow.. I If anyone have any answerers i would be grateful

This seems to be a fairly common issue with Ryzen. Losing settings on cold boot
after being off for a while. I have seen it reported quite a bit. I suspect it
may be a particular batch of Ryzen 3000 CPUs that has a weak IMC. I had a 3600
that was doing the same thing, the behavior was consistent across multiple boards
of differing model and make. I eventually RMAed it and the replacement works fine
even on the board I had the most issues with.

Well I am glad its not the motherboard am going to return my memory and go back to the 4000mhz royals and buy me 3900xt ps the computer boots great with one step below 1600mhz
