I want to upgrade ROG Strix G18 (2023) RAM to 5600mhz in BIOS

I want Asus officials to support this issue. I want to upgrade ROG Strix G18 (2023) RAM to 5600 mhz. Please do a bios update for it. Other brands allow up to 6000 MHz.

Yes, I had to wait from February or March until November of this year (bios version .321 was released) for my computer to receive the 5200mhz bus with the Samsung ram pair (all these months of waiting it only ran at 4800mhz). ...

I also have the same memory kit installed and see the exact same issues. 

317 - Stable

Update to 318 - BSOD within 5-10 minutes. Load a Game BSOD. Plug in a perpherial BSOD. The error codes vary. 

Update to 321 - Same issues. 

Revert to 317 -  Smooth sailing. 

 

ASUS, why dont you buy a kit of 64gb Fury and see what  the ****** issue is. I have been complianing since launch as I have seen constant issues everytime there is a bios update and I am obviously not the only one.

The update has been completed and select Ram kits will run at 5600 for 32 gigs. Specifically Kingston Fury CL 40 5600 works perfectly no issues whatsoever

Hello, are you referring to this memory kit, I am thinking of buying it for the strix scart 18,

Hi @fav,

yes, this is the kit I'm using on my G834JZ since day 1 without any errors ( KF556S40IBK2-64 ). It's the Kingston Fury 5600MT/s 64GB PnP kit which will run at 5200MT/s because the modules are double ranked and XMP isn't supported by ASUS. Please keep an eye to the exact modelnumbers because the XMP modules ( with 6000MT/s or 6400MT/s ) where reported only to run in JEDEC standard with 4800MT/s while XMP isn't supported !!!

Dear @fav,

as I'm not spanish and I don't know how amazon guides their search results for different countries, availabilities and delivering options I can't tell you exactly if this is the right thing viewed to me in the 2 different links you sent. Both gets me to the same modules which are not available for me in my country through this links and I'm not sure if these are the regular or alternative results shown from amazon to me.

If we want to be 100% sure we're talking about the same modules, I've taken some screenshots for you.

Kingston Modules part numberKingston Modules part number

Blue is marking the manufacturers part number I'm using here and red is the importand note which get this modules to run on my system.

 

Actual HWInfo screenActual HWInfo screen

Red marks the manufacturer specs programmed to the modules ( including the part number of a single module in one slot ), while blue marks the real performance the system is using actually after installation and RAM training ( DDR = double data rate so 2600MHz is 5200MT/s ) in my system G834JZ with actual BIOS version 321 ( marked in green ).

And yes, it's correct that these modules are "only" running in 5200MT/s ( while marked as 5600MT/s from manufacturer site ) cause that's the official Intel specification for double ranked modules in this system ( without any XMP support ). 👍

I found it more helpful to see things in pictures 😉 So if you're looking for exact these modules, please search for the part number of the manufacturer and you'll be fine. So that we can be 100% sure, we're talking about the same modules.

Within this thread we figured out that some other brands and modules will work, too. The whole experiences are all thankfully shared by some different users in here so that you can hopefully find an answer to your question.

Thank you very much, if it is the same module in the link.

Do you not have issues with BSOD when updating bios with those modules?

like every bios update give me black screen on boot. Fix with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18-lOq1XQiA

G834JI Bios 321 give me massive memory errors after bios update (64GB 5600 (run 5200) Kingston Fury), re-flash bios and no more error run perfectly.
