Which Information is Correct ?

[Emre9343]

Hello. I bought G Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB 7600 MHz DDR5 ram 1 year ago and today I got the errors in the picture while doing memtest. On the Asus ROG official website, it says that these rams are supported in the motherboard support section, but on the G. Skill official website, it says that the motherboard model is not supported. Now I'm asking which one is correct ?

Hi @Emre9343 please take few moments to read https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/technologies-explained/memory-kits-overclocking-and-what-you-may-not-k... post. 

Having your memory run at maximum supported speed requires that you have a CPU with IMC (Integrated Memory Controller), a motherboard and the memory all being able to run stable at any given speed. You can learn more about what I said here by watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzVZgTP2204 video where the ASUS Technical Person explains a bit more about why everything has to align for these high Over Clocked speeds to work.

You can use a memory device to reduce your speed just a hair like 7400 or 7200 and see at what speed this memory is stable in your combination of CPU+Board+Memory. This will be your highest speed using simply over clocking options.

Remember no one guarantees anything when it comes to over clocking and 7600 is an over clocked speed.

I hope this information helps you understand what is going on and why. If there is anything else we can do to help please post here further or you can help others by marking this response as a solution. Good luck!

Hi @Emre9343 

1. The memory vendor and motherboard vendors have their own qualified vendor lists. The QVL shows that either vendor or both have tested the memory as working on the CPU samples available to them on that particular motherboard SKU.

2. XMP/EXPO is overclocking, and as such no vendors hold assurances of compatibility due to variance between parts when running components outside of specification. As such, manual tuning may be required. The QVL acts as a guide to provide the user with the best possible chance of success.

3. To ensure the best possible chance of "plug and play" overclocking, it's preferable to purchase a memory kit 2 to 3 bins below the maximum validated frequency for the density you wish to run.
