Rog Maximus z790 Hero Bios 1501 > ?

[Sentinal13]

Hi All,  I have a fully working system with no issues on Bios 1501, if I try to update to anything higher I get a boot loop.  I am running 4 sticks of Kingston, Fury Renegade 4x16GB DDR5 PC5-51200C32 6400Mhz in 2 matched pairs, 13700KF, adaptive undervolt 0.085

Does anyone know what has been changed that would cause a boot loop if I set my profile as before ?

It will only post into safe post

[Vynra]

no way your running 6400 on 4 sticks its probably unstable in your rig right now. you probably need to lower to 5200-5600.

I am and it is stable with Memtest from the bios and OCCT within windows.   Hence my question as to why I can't post with 2002 BIOS

 

[Sentinal13]

It doesn't run with any memory timings even as low as 3600 hence why I am puzzled.  Are you saying that it shouldn;t be running as it is and that I am lucky  to get it to run on bios 1501 ?   MC sp 68

Try Latest BIOS 2102, they at last fixed DDR5 Compatibility, Now I can use My 4 DDR5 6000MHz without issues.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did try the new bios with no success.  It will always load in bios safe mode but as soon as I try to set memory it does the boot loops about 3 seconds power on power off power on / etc and then I have to enter bios safe boot.  I am still not sure what has changed from 1501 as as soon as I reflash back to 1501 and set options all works without issues.   Memory is running at 6400mhz  XMP1.  no cpu Overclock even if I try auto on everything it still will not post.

I have finally got this working, on version 2102, flashing the bios, and then loading defaults, restarting and then going back into the bios,  loading XMP1 and setting Per IMC then restarting and loading windows and then restarting and setting the rest of my bios settings manually, there are a few changes of case and characters that prevent loading the CMO. Below are my settings, those not listed are on Auto if it helps anyone else. Fully stable tested in, Mem386, OCCT, Cinebench and Superstition
