Hi guys I have built my pc, is going well, but I'm pretty sure something I'm doing wrong on setting of my hardware. About the ram I found in the bios this preset but I don't know from what to start and what are the difference, I search online but I can t find an explanation, can someone help me to choose the best setting for me? I have a 5800x3d with a 6950 xt toxic and my goal is gaming

Check your ram, either physically or it’s box. What’s the speed written there? Some of these settings are seems bit extreme, I wouldn’t run my rams on 1.8v.
The setting you want to change is called XMP and there shouldn’t be options this extreme, if your ram says 4000Mhz on the box (or on the sticker that is on the ram) chose that setting on XMP menu.
4000Mhz will be fast enough for gaming so unless you are min maxing there is no need for going faster.
Dont use presets. Go back one menu and just use XMP or DOCP on amd boards. Should use factory settings ram came with.
Those presets are for Samsung B-die, which you won’t find in Ballistix. 4000 bin Ballistix is either Micron 8Gb Rev E, or 16Gb Rev B depending on density.
The next problem though is that a 5800X3D probably won’t run stable fabric clock (fclk) at 2000MHz and as such 4000MT/s (2000MHz clock) ram speed 1:1 with fabric clock won’t be stable.
XMP / DOCP settings should be in the main tab, it may try to run the ram asynchronously with lower fabric clock. That’s generally worse for performance than running a lower synchronized ram speed at the max fabric clock of the chip (~1867 or 1900MHz for 3733 or 3800 ram speed).
You may want to manually set the ram speed and timings, and then test the stability.
honestly OP it might be easier for you to just exchange that ram kit for a 3600mhz cl16 or cl18 one
Load cl14 3800mhz 2x16gb mess with the timings by tightening it if it can’t handle that cl14 3600mhz 2x16gb and tighten the timings besides the 3XD V cache doesn’t heavily rely on the ram since you have extra V cache.
