They have the ability to set the RAM to read any data on Thaiphoon, meaning different dies might work. If the issue occurs within 30 days, you can send it back to Amazon. If it persists beyond that, return it via RMA to Patriot.
Best? That's somewhat personal. With the bios update, you've advanced a lot in the boot process, so now the focus shifts to how much extra effort you're willing to invest in RAM to achieve stable performance at rated speeds. Any adjustments you made before the update might need repeating now that the Agesa changes have been applied.
SoC 1.2v is the limit, but you shouldn't feel obligated to go through all this work—it's about optimizing what's already stable. When you're ready to decide if it's worth it, you'll know which path is best.
If obtaining the Ripjaws would simply involve enabling XMP at 3600mhz, I'd opt for the straightforward route instead of enduring the difficulties of the DRAM calculator while lacking the exact die information. This would definitely be preferable to my current trial-and-error approach during overclocking RAM. However, I won't be checking back on the RAM until tomorrow at the latest. If I manage to get the Viper operational by then, I'd be content with the current setup and willing to experiment with other options for the rest of the day. I'm still unsure about what to try. When using the Calc, which die should I select? I plan to attempt basic actions like enabling XMP immediately, but the more complex steps remain unclear, and I don't want to waste time testing every possible combination. If a starting point were provided, I'd be ready to give it a shot.
Open Bios. Press F5 to reset everything to Factory Optimized Default configurations. Activate XMP. Restart the system to BIOS. Capture images of each Bios page that appears related to RAM settings, timing, or voltage details.
Press F5 again to revert Bios to Factory Optimized Default settings and restart BIOS.
Compare each page with your photographs and make any necessary manual adjustments. Do not re-enable XMP. This process is a hands-on overclocking method that replicates XMP values without the hidden BIOS settings that remain unseen.
I’m not sure why this works, but often a manual adjustment succeeds where automatic settings fail.
I had a problem with the bios sometimes not showing values when auto was enabled, which might mean some changes weren't needed but I stuck with what I had in the pictures. After a BSOD, I didn’t reach the desktop. I’ve attached photos of the bios with XMP so you can see the values and what wasn’t. If any value was visible, I manually adjusted it during a manual OC.
