STRIX X760-E F GAMING WIFI : EXPO/XMP RAM issue - wont boot

[Aneale]

My Corsair RAM 6000 MHZ was working fine (it is on the official list) but after I installed a few extra fans via a corsair Hub via the USB 2.0 header it suddenly would not boot,

I already had a AIO plugged into one of the USB 2.0 Header ports so as it has three I thought no harm in plugging in some extra fans via another one of the USB 2.0 ports but then the machine would not boot. I had to clear the CMOS but not the RAM will not work in EXPO.

I unplugged the corsair hub from the USB 2.0 Port but it still will not work. I have updated the BIOS to the lates 28/10/24/. So now I am unsure what I can do. I have reseated the RAM but it makes no difference.

About the USB 2.0 header, I do have a USB 2.0 header extender, do you need to use one of these to power to devices: AIO and Corsair hub?

I think we have a similrt issue. Except for me it was just a simple shut down that caused this. No boot yellow light . system totally bricked.

Mine runs fine at default ram speed of 4800.

Mine also ran fine at 5600mhz. Since I shut down my computer nothing works. In my case iv done a ****** tone of troubleshooting and  I'm sure the motherboard or CPU is at fault here. Not the ram.

As soon as I set the RAM to expo in the bios and hit f10 (save and exit) the motherboard light goes amber and that’s that.

How long are you leaving it? Initial memory training may take a few minutes.

[Aneale]

How long is a few minutes as i get my monitor saying no signal ?

[Silent_Scone · Accepted solution]

Depending on the memory config, firmware rev and the condition of the overclock, can be 3 to 5 minutes initially.

That has resolved the issue. Just set it and left it for a few minutes and it has sprung into life at 6000 MT

Hi @Aneale 

Update to UEFI 2506 

Use the search function to find "Monitoring Software reboot workaround" and enable it. However, at this time, I'm not sure whether this function has been added to lower-tier chipsets or whether it's needed. It may not even be related to the behaviour you're seeing and it could be related to overclock instability.

Try EXPO II to attempt POST with default DIMM timings rather than ASUS Optimised (EXPO I).
