Hi
I'm having some annoying issues with DRAM config. A little history first and specs
I bought the ryzen 5 1600x cpu for the strix x370-f gaming mobo,
with Gskill 3000MHz (don't remember the type)
where I had issues to run it stable at 2666MHz because of the lack of 3000MHz support.
the latest CPUID ROG CPU-Z would result in PCreboot in seconds if I selected SPD to check at what MHz the DRAM was running.
the bios reports max setting at 2133MHz :confused:back then, so to check system stability I set them to the auto 2133MHz but CPUID also resulted in the same PCreboot😞
(also usb stops functioning when the rebootcrash happens).
in the meantime there was a bios update to 8.10 = same result.
They were installed into slot 2&4, so I tried slot 1&3 = same result.:(
So after hours of being frustrated I checked the QVL dram list provided on the rog.asus.com website and replaced my old DRAM with
a dual channel GSkill F4-3200C14D-16GTZSK kit. The ones supporting 3200 in top of the QVL list.
The Bios however mentiones preferred bandwidth at 2133MHz which is odd :confused:because of the QVL list and the 3200MHz support on the X370-F
so I manually set it to 3200MHz, I checked CPUID again also mentions Max Bandwith at 2133MHz.. which annoys me still.:mad:
I played a day or two ARMA3, Titanfall 2 without issues, untill suddenly I had a new PCreboot...:(
So I checked CPUID again at the SPD tab and BAM another pcreboot in mere seconds, I installed my memory in slot 2&4
Meanwhile I noticed there is a new bios 8.13 and installed that, hoping the issue would FINALLY be gone, but no.. same crash over and over again...
So to check system stability I set the DRAM to 2133MHz (which annoys me still):mad: in the bios and again PCreboot with CPUID on the SPD tab.
Also when set to 3200Mhz my timings were incorrect i got 16/16/16 ,while it should be 14/14/14
What the ???? is going on:confused:
Asus please help me out and explain to me why MAX BANDWIDTH is mentioned as 2133Mhz while using higher frequency rammodules
so to clarify I've had issues with a 3000MHZ kit running at 2666 and 2133, replaced those with the QVL 3200MHz and still have the same issue!
*update: Set D.C.O.P Standard, DRAM frequency and timings correct, result = immediate crash when selecting SPD on CPUID
*update 2: 2 more random crashes on default optimised settings bios... pc is unreliable!
*update 3: installed bios 8.17 less crashes than before, but more random crashes.. also fancontrol is bugged.. since 8.17 AIO speed keeps changing although I set manual 100% it keeps dropping, even when AIO pump control is disabled
also I was quick enough to take a screenshot of the SPD tab setting of CPUID, which I had to try several times and close CPUID quick enough so my pc wouldn't reboot
With regards ,
somewhat becoming unhappy with my Mobochoice...
