128GB B650 Plus setup, 7800x3D display still won't connect to BIOS
128GB B650 Plus setup, 7800x3D display still won't connect to BIOS
I configured my system with an Asus TUF gaming B650 plus 7800x3D 4090 GSKILL 16GB x4 and everything functions properly. I increased the RAM to 128 GB using four 32GB sticks but couldn’t access the BIOS. The VGA QLED light remains active on the motherboard with only two sticks (64GB) working, but if all four get stuck, anyone have suggestions?
Finding four RAM sticks for a Ryzen 7000 series setup is challenging because of memory controller limits. This explains why we’re noticing 2x 24GB and 2x48GB configurations work better. Consider swapping in the 48GB sticks instead. Updating your motherboard’s BIOS to support two sticks might also improve compatibility. You might want to try this approach first. Are you planning to use 128GB of RAM right now?
Adjusted RAM speed to around 4400MHz and attempted booting with four sticks. Working with current consumer DDR5 systems that support 128GB or more is challenging, and achieving high clock speeds isn't possible.
You're asking why such a large amount of RAM was required for a gaming CPU. It seems you're pointing out that using four sticks with high-capacity memory is not practical or recommended.
Hey... it's unclear what others think... this seems to function fine... in 2024? Just skip the overcomplicated fixes and opt for a 2x48 RAM upgrade.
Technology has reached such a level that comparing it to older times feels natural. It’s as if 4 DDR5 modules could work just like 4 DDR4 ones did before. Why then is DDR5 still causing issues? People expect it to be reliable, but sometimes it slows down or causes problems.
Thanks to the infinity fabric, DDR4 didn't support XMP across four sticks before recently. Now it handles speeds over 3200Mhz. It's also important to remember that the 1000 series Ryzen was the first on AM4, with a less capable memory controller compared to later 5000 series models. The 7000 series brought AM5 sockets and CPUs, which introduced some compatibility issues with XMP profiles or multi-stick setups.
