Instability with STRIX Z390-E GAMING+i9-9900K+Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB

[Toffypops]

Hello all.
Writing here in hopes someone might be able to help.

I have had problems with stability even since the start with my new system.

I get random blue screens referring to IRQ errors, WHEH uncorrectable error, clock watchdog timeout.

My Specs:
Motherboard:
ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING, S-1151
Processor: Intel Core i9-9900K
Memory (part number): Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 4x8GB CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
Graphics Card #1: POWERCOLOR Radeon HD 7990 6GB
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DX 7.1
Monitor: 3x ASUS VG278HE 144Hz
Storage #1: Intel 120GB ssd (system)
Storage #2: Samsung SSD 840 Pro
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Power Supply: MIST 1000W
Keyboard: Microsoft Ergo 4000
Mouse: Logitech G402
Headset: Sennheiser PC 363D
Headset/Speakers: Logitech 5.1
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64BIT
Accessory #1: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB x2 M2.NVM

I ran memtest86 and the first scan gave the following results, with all 4 memory sockets populated:



Then I tested all 4 modules, 1 by 1 in the first DIM socket with 4/4 passes all tests..and there were no errors at all for either module.

Then I ran 1 module in each DIM socket in sequence, to check if maybe the DIM's had faults, but I did not get any errors then either.

Then I rearranged the memory modules and tested again with all 4 modules populated and got the following results.




I am very confused now, as to how the comprehensive testing for each module did not give any errors, yet with all 4 populated it gives errors.

I have tested booting with default settings in bios as well as with AI-Overclock , both with and without XMP profiles enabled, and the machine just does not want to be stable.

CINEBENCHR15.038 crashes randomly, and the Intel Benchmark test software crashes if I stress the memory.

In BIOS i have enabled 4x mode for NVM instead of default 2x and have not populated SATA ports 5 and 6.

My cooler gives me a score of 191 in the auto-clock overview in BIOS, and max temp i have seen was 78 degrees with 5200 overclock on all cores in a CPU stress test with the Intel benchmark utility. The CPU cooler never seem to get hot at all and feels cold to the touch at all times.

So I am starting to wonder if it is the motherboard that is unable to run with all 4 memory slots filled?

The memory i use is a set of 2x8GB with product number: CMK16GX4M2B3200C16

As far as I know, the modules should be compatible with the motherboard.

Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Combining memory kits is not recommended, as it eats into the guardband put in place by the memory vendor. Kits are binned at the density they are sold in, so it’s not difficult to ascertain why this is. Beyond returning them both, you can relax frequency and primary timings as well as increase Vdimm to 1.45-1.5v.

3200MHz is an overclock, whether the kit is certified at this speed or not, it still exceeds Intels 2666MHz.

do you have Corsair iQue installed?

Granted I have two F4-4266C19D-16GTZR kits, XMP fails, but I can pass Windows Memory Diagnostic and Memtest86 @3900 CL16-16-16-37, but any bios other than 0602 (0702, 0802, 0805) has memory related BSODs, with 0805 having CPU overclocking BSOD errors. I wish I knew why the bios updates are causing the issues, but I can keep running 0602 forever if it's stable...
