XMP DDR5 for Asus Z690 (12th Gen) - BSOD

[Rudzik_I]

Вітаю всіх! У мене два комп'ютери (мій і сина):
1)
ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero (BIOS v4101)
Intel 12900K
Ram (64 Гб) 2x KF564C32RSAK2-32
• Типовий (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @1,1 В
• Профіль XMP №1: DDR5-6400 CL32-39-39 @1,4 В (BSOD)
• Профіль XMP №2: DDR5-6000 CL38-38-38 @1,35 В (BSOD)
• Профіль XMP №3: DDR5-4800 CL38-38-38 @1,1 В (Стабільний),

і  2)
ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFI (BIOS v4101)
Intel 12700K
Ram (64 Гб) 2x KF560C40BBK2-32
• За замовчуванням (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @1,1 В
• Профіль XMP №1: DDR5-6000 CL40-40-40 @1,35 В (BSOD)
• Профіль XMP №2: DDR5-5600 CL40-40-40 @1,25 В (BSOD)
• Профіль XMP №3: DDR5-4800 CL38-38-38 @1,1 В (Стабільний)

Я оновлюю BIOS протягом трьох років (починаючи з версії 2204) і все ще чекаю виправлення. Я не можу використовувати профіль XMP I/II. Система стабільно працює лише на частоті 4800 МГц. Збільшення частоти зміни BSOD. Здається, немає таких налаштувань, які б я не робив, включаючи збільшення та зменшення напруги пам'яті та процесора. Пам'ять і процесор протестовані і працюють без помилок на штатній частоті пам'яті. Материнська плата також працює без нарікань. Читайте, що цю проблему вирішує 13 чи 14 процесор. дивно! У специфікаціях 12 процесорів і материнських плат підтримують частоту 6400+ (Z690 Hero) і 6000 (Z690-G GAMING). У 2022 році я знову повірив в ASUS. На жаль, розробники за три роки не можуть або не хочуть проблему захворювання.

I have been updating the BIOS for three years (starting with version 2204) and am still waiting for a fix. I cannot use the XMP I/II profile. The system only works stably at 4800 MHz. Increasing the frequency changes the BSOD. It seems that there are no settings that I would not make, including increasing and decreasing the voltage of the memory and processor. The memory and processor are tested and work without errors at the standard memory frequency. The motherboard also works without complaints. I read that this problem is solved by the 13th or 14th processor. strange! In the specifications, 12 processors and motherboards support the frequency of 6400+ (Z690 Hero) and 6000 (Z690-G GAMING). In 2022, I believed in ASUS again. Unfortunately, the developers in three years cannot or do not want to fix the problem.

did you plug in the ram in the right slots? (slot 2 and 4 from the cpu)

have you considered maybe you have a bad ram and its not the motherboard?

Did you try getting a new ram kit?

12th gen should easily be able to get 6000 cl40. Either you have the ram in the wrong slots or a ram stick/ both sticks are bad.

This does not seem like a bios/motherboard issue.

Thanks for the feedback. My PC has 4 memory slots 4x16GB. I received a response from Asus support. They happily informed me that my memory was not officially tested on either the first PC or the second PC, so it is not supported :))))))))))) But what they tested on purpose and I first bought them was G.Skill F5-6000J3636F16GX2, they had a bunch of errors on the memtest at the stock frequency - I returned it. To be honest, on some versions of BIOS, my XMP worked at a frequency of 6000 MHz. I didn't test for errors then - it works well. I am not a professional PC customizer. I have basic knowledge. Unfortunately, I don't know much about secondary and tertiary timings. When I last updated the BIOS to 4101, I noticed that I couldn't set it above 4800 MHz on XMP I/II (6000 MHz = BSOD. 6400 MHz = I can't dream of it). Three years have passed since I bought the PC. I can't bring myself to return the bad luck. From the very beginning, I was hoping for ASUS and a future BIOS fix. I'll note once again that this happens on my two almost identical PCs, and I see on the forums that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Hello Rudzik_1

I'm running a similar setup:

ROG STrix Z690-F Gaming Wifi

12700KF

Kingston Fury Beast 16GB (2x8GB) 6000MHz 40-40-40-80-2T

Make sure you have your memory installed in the A2-B2 slots (2nd & 4th slots from the cpu).

I'm happily running on bios 2802, I have my memory overclocked to 6200MHz with 38-38-38-40-2T timings.

In most cases including me, the cpu's memory controller isn't up to the task. So, like me, you'll have to manually tune the voltages to see if this helps you hit a higher frequency.

Double the Memory Clock and you have 6200MHz.
