Hey, your system seems to have compatibility issues with the RAM setup. The BIOS is showing a default clock speed of 2400 MHz but you're getting 1800 MHz. Also, it's not booting with A2 and B2 modules installed—only A1, A2, and A3 are working. This could be due to incorrect RAM configuration or a faulty motherboard. Try removing the existing RAM, installing the new one in the correct slots (A1, A2, A3), and ensuring it's properly seated. If the problem persists, check for BIOS updates or contact support.
Have you experimented with a single stick in slot B2 to test boot functionality? Also, confirming the slot sequence from the CPU perspective—A1, A2, B1, B2—is accurate? If the stick in B2 prevents booting, reinsert the CPU and inspect for faulty pins; if that doesn’t resolve the issue, it may indicate a motherboard problem. Should it work, possible causes are memory incompatibility or an outdated BIOS version. A BIOS update or downgrade could likely resolve the matter. The speed concern stems from missing XMP/EXPO support, which won’t be resolved until proper memory slots are used. Note that the advertised frequency isn’t the actual clock speed but a data rate; since DDR supports double data rate, the reported 2400MHz translates to 4800MT/s. DDR5 6400 is too fast for AM5 controllers in single mode, so they’ll default to 2:1 and significantly reduce performance compared to using 6000CL30 instead.
I also tried it in B2 but it didn’t start. I’ll check my CPU tomorrow to find out what’s wrong.
Hello, I attempted to re-seat my CPU and inspect for bent pins, but everything seems fine. However, I’m still unable to boot in A2/B2 mode. Are there other potential fixes? Could it be that the memory slot is faulty? Since this is brand new hardware and was installed at first boot, a dead slot remains a possibility.
Confirming the boot status with a single stick in B2. If it still doesn’t start, the problem is likely a dead memory slot, requiring a return and new motherboard. A new device isn’t always guaranteed to be perfect.
I haven't used the single stick in B2 before, so I'm going to check the BIOS update first and then try it again if needed. If that doesn't help, I'll attempt a single stick in B2 once more and see how it affects my motherboard.
