Can you provide the exact memory part number? Also, would you like to run CPU-Z and capture a screenshot of the SPD tab from one of the drives? Your question about Memtest passing at defaults is also clear.
Got it! You're using GSKILL 3200MHz with XMP enabled. The memtest at defaults is likely checking for errors under normal conditions. You mentioned you didn't set up a custom test, just ran it. You plan to test again without XMP enabled. It's possible you have unstable RAM sticks at that frequency, which can be tricky to diagnose.
Thank you for your feedback. The results might be incorrect or require some adjustments to the user settings. You can execute OCCT on Windows in short intervals. I typically allocate 12GB for a 16GB device and 28GB for a 32GB one. Begin by verifying the Vccio and system agent voltages on the Asus board—ensure neither exceeds 1.20V. Next, inspect the Trfc timing; input the SPD value from the bios to confirm proper configuration. This will also display other timings that are likely correctly set. Keep in mind, testing with four sticks demands more from the memory controller. Avoid running a CPU at high temperatures; aim to maintain load temperatures below 85°C.
so much of this sounds like spanglish to me, i'll need to do some research and check things out before I get solid data. haven't had any heat issues before, but i'll keep it on my radar. i'll go through the suggestions. thanks.
It can be tricky, but reading helps a lot. Look for solid resources. Every piece of hardware differs. Learning about BIOS is similar to getting to know the layout of a new area. With practice, you'll become comfortable. Tips: jot down your settings or snap a photo with your phone. Adjust only what’s necessary. Setting up memory can be time-consuming due to many factors, often taking hours, days, or weeks. Good luck!
These issues indicate your RAM is unreliable. However, if errors appear only when XMP is active and other memory-related components function properly (CPU, motherboard, BIOS support), it suggests a defective RAM module. It seems the problem lies with the RAM itself.
Quick update here. Voltages and timing checked in the BIOS everything seemed correct. I started testing each RAM after the TM5 extreme settings reported jo failures during the 4.5-hour test. For my motherboard, I used the A2 slot for single-channel and began with that configuration. The first four tests correspond to the sticks numbered 1-4, with subsequent tests in pairs. #1 spec: spd pc4-25600 DDR4 xmp 3200mhz 16-18-18-38 Gskill Intl f4-3200c Test started at 17:39, ended at 20:11 – no errors. #2 spec: same settings, test ran from 20:20 to 22:52 – no issues. #3 spec: same, test from 22:58 to 1:26 – no errors. #4 spec: same, test from 1:32 to 3:59 – no errors. #5 Stick 4 A2 slot, test started at 4:17, finished at 7:24 – no errors. #6 Stick 1 A2 slot, test began at 7:32 – still no confidence in RAM.
This happened because most people overlooked the clear signs. There was a small mistake in prime 95 with inconsistent behavior before. I link rounding errors to CPU issues, especially on Intel processors—I've seen this before and had to replace a few. Additionally, ASUS Z390 boards are known for overvolting memory controller and system agent when XMP is active. While using XMP, voltage would jump to 1.3V through the VCCIO and system agent. You should manually adjust it to around 1.2V.
Hey there! Let's think simple. If you want to check if your CPU or RAM is the problem, start by trying everything without XMP enabled. That way you can see which one makes things faster. If the games run smooth and you get good scores, it might be RAM. If you notice slowdowns or crashes, it could be CPU.
You mentioned having a warranty—good! Make sure to check what’s covered. If you’re still unsure, run some tests like MemTest86 and see how they behave. That’ll help you figure it out clearly.
