12900k XMP problems.
12900k XMP problems.
Hello everyone, welcome back and welcome again! I recently upgraded to a 12900K and paired it with a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 motherboard. I kept my previous RAM, G.SKILL TridentZ for the Z370/X299 chipset (I just noticed that was the right one). My problem is that I can only run my RAM at 2133MHz, and whenever I enable XMP at 3600MHz or 3200MHz, I get a black screen. After resetting the BIOS, everything seems stable but the RAM still runs at 2133MHz. I’m asking: am I really stuck with this setup? Should I consider replacing the RAM? It would be better since I spent a lot on the new CPU. How much performance am I missing out with the current RAM speed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Jarron UPDATE: Managed to get it working at 3000MHz. My RAM isn’t listed in the motherboard’s memory support, but it’s still stable and functioning.
3600mhz is a 4x16GB configuration. Check out the link for more details: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-288-...6820232576
Installed RAM at 3000MHz successfully. The motherboard doesn't show this type in its memory support list, but it's functioning properly.
The latest update was released two days ago (version F6a), which aims to resolve the XMP problems. Using this might let you run it at full memory speeds.
