Msi Gaming M7 ACK X370 OC
Hey Forum,
I recently purchased a high-end 16GB DDR4 RAM that is compatible with the RYZEN model shown below. I installed it on my first M7 ACK, which needed replacement after the LED burned out. The system worked perfectly with XMP Profile 2 and a 1.4V DRAM voltage, but after the RAM swap, stability issues emerged.
Currently, it functions properly once I move the RAM to channel B and adjust the voltage to 1.4V. However, my PC crashes about 10% of the time during games, and it seems to fail to boot or restart 10% of the time. The Windows 10 memory test results show no problems, unless a more thorough stress test is needed.
I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should tweak in the BIOS besides XMP Profile 2 and the voltage setting. Should I consider replacing the board again or just the RAM?
-BIOS IS LATEST VERSION-
P.S. Running Ryzen at 4 GHz and 1.375V without issues, with temperatures around 60°C.

Hey Forum,
I recently purchased a high-end 16GB DDR4 RAM that is compatible with the Ryzen 7000 series (model shown below). It worked perfectly on my first M7 ACK after replacement, which needed a new LED due to burnout. However, once I moved the RAM to channel B and adjusted the DRAM voltage to 1.4V, the system became unstable—my PC crashes during games about 10% of the time. The Windows 10 memory test shows no issues, but I suspect the problem might be related to the RAM or boot failures.
I’m considering whether to tweak the BIOS settings beyond just XMP profile 2 and the 1.4V setting, or if I should replace the board entirely. My system runs Ryzen at 4GHz with 1.375V, and temperatures stay around 60°C.

P.S. I’m running Ryzen at 4GHz and 1.375V without issues, but temperatures are high. Would you recommend a RAM stress test or a board replacement? Also, is there another way to resolve this? If I were you, I’d file a return merchandise authorization (RMA).
Apologies for the delay in getting a response. Have you had any luck fixing it?
