Take note of the memory speed (2400MHz for example), the timings (10-12-12-31 for example), and the voltage of the memory (1.65v for example).īefore touching any setting in the BIOS, it would be advisable to download CPU-z here, and under the ‘Memory’ tab, double check what you have your RAM set to. To do this, you can either check online from the retailer/manufacturer that you bought the Memory from, or take out one of the sticks of RAM and it will say on the label. We show you how to manually adjust the memory settings to set it to the rated speeds set by the manufacturer.įirst things first, you need to check your memory specifications. This can mean CPU overclocks are reset, fan speed profiles may be lost, hard drive boot priorities may become scrambled, and also the RAM will reset to the default speed of 1333Mhz (on DDR3). It should be in the manual under the memory section (just pictures).When a system is first put together, or the BIOS is reset, certain settings will revert to their stock state.
Make sure you use the B1 slot or whatever is designated Prime on the motherboard. You can also try running/booting 1 stick at a time. Usually the least painful test is to replace the RAM with another DDR4 kit. Unfortunately, you must then figure out whether it is the RAM or the motherboard or the CPU and that is not a fun task. I would set the frequency to 2133 and despite what I just said set the RAM, IO, SA to auto. Now all that said, any memtest errors in the 1800-2400 range (or really at all) are a problem. This is one reason I do not like to leave critical settings like DRAM frequency, voltage, IO or SA to Auto. In then takes you to the BIOS screen as its way of reminding you it changed a bunch of stuff.
For example, you are trying to get 3200 and not making it, so the board lowers the frequency to 2800 or 3000 while simultaneously boosting relevant settings like DRAM voltage, VCCIO, VCCSA, etc. sometimes the Asus boards will drop frequency as part of its attempts to load. I ran my Pro and Strix models at 3200 constantly.īest guess is that at some point you locked up on boot and the board altered some values. 2400 should be a walk in the park on X99 these days, even at high capacity. No, XMP will not invalidate your warranty although if you were having a tedious conversation with Intel or the motherboard manufacturer, they might try to claim that anything over 2133 MHz is "overclocking".
