Device fails to upload new RAM at maximum performance.
Device fails to upload new RAM at maximum performance.
I own an Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 board and previously had all four DRAM slots filled with Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (two 8 GB units). It performed well until I started video editing. At that point, 32 GB of RAM wasn’t sufficient for Premiere Pro and After Effects together. Looking ahead, I upgraded to a Corsair Vengeance LPX 64 GB (two 32 GB units) setup, initially using two 32 GB sticks and two 8 GB sticks before planning future upgrades. Initially, the system wouldn’t boot with the new sticks, but a Reddit suggestion pointed to XMP settings as the issue. I removed the sticks, adjusted the BIOS frequency to 2133 MHz, which resolved the problem temporarily. I then gradually increased speeds, reaching 3466 MHz before hitting a limit. I attempted to raise the voltage from 1.35V to 1.395V, but it still didn’t work and I’m hesitant to go higher due to safety concerns. Some online advice mentioned removing the CMOS battery or updating the BIOS, which I last did about a year ago when upgrading to a 5950x board. Here’s the complete parts list if you need it: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C7dYfy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated—I’m really stuck. Thank you!
I have specific RAM kits that I want to share this information about. This is why (if you don’t want to change things) I stick to one kit only—mixing them up isn’t allowed, even if they look similar. Are the RAM modules placed in their matching slots? If not, adjust them. Turn off any Fast Boot feature so the motherboard has more time to stabilize the 3600 MHz RAM. It’s overclocked, so XMP and DOCP are also involved. You’re right to avoid raising the memory voltage since that likely isn’t the issue (you already increased it to 1.395). Stressing the CPU’s IMC is necessary because all four slots are filled (and you probably have four dual-rank DIMMs installed, which adds extra pressure). You’ll probably need to boost voltages, but each motherboard, RAM, and CPU setup is unique. Let me check the recommended adjustments for you.
I need to know the exact serial number.
This could cause some problems, so I’m open to using the 64GB of new RAM if necessary.
Yes, that makes sense.
I’ll figure out the right steps now and apply them.
That’s logical.
I appreciate you responding; I hadn’t considered those details before. Thanks for your reply.
TL;DR: Set RAM to 3466 MHz and see how it performs. If issues arise, the stability isn’t guaranteed. After reviewing options, adding extra voltage isn’t likely to boost speed noticeably—real gains would be minimal. Testing each setting carefully is essential due to varying motherboard specifications. Risk of CPU damage exists if done improperly. Some users report problems even at higher speeds, suggesting thorough testing is necessary. Don’t rely on online advice; verify through your own experiments.
That seems sensible—running at 3400 should be fine if it meets your needs. I’ll run some stability tests to confirm. It’s okay to trade a bit of speed for more capacity, especially since I mainly use the computer for work. Thanks for all your support and advice! Your CPU shouldn’t be at risk.
