Solved case for AORUS PRO, Threadripper 1950x, G.SKILL 3600 MHz with XMP issues.
Solved case for AORUS PRO, Threadripper 1950x, G.SKILL 3600 MHz with XMP issues.
Good morning,
My name is Mawrecki and I’m a new user here. It’s nice to be joining.
I work in the field of Science and rely on Machine/Deep Learning on a daily basis.
I recently purchased a new PC for my role, which includes all the components listed below.
I aim to configure it for optimal efficiency and stability.
After activating XMP 2.0 in the BIOS, I heard three beeps. This means I can’t use the 3600 MHz memory speed, so I had to disable XMP.
My setup includes:
Gigabyte X399 AORUS PRO
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x
NZXT Kraken X62
G.SKILL 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz CL16 TridentZ - 2x
970 EVO Plus 1TB
NVIDIA TITAN V
Chieftec GPS-1250C 1250W
MasterBox MB600L
I verified myself:
BIOS was upgraded from F1 (01/10/2018) to F2 (16/12/2019);
I confirmed the Qualified Vendors List for X399 AORUS PRO and noticed G.SKILL and 3600 MHz should be supported;
I reviewed the X399 AORUS PRO User Manual, which states proper support for Quad Channel memory;
I managed to adjust the DRAM voltage manually from 1.200V to 1.350V and set the multiplier to 30, enabling a stable 3000 MHz operation without beeps or errors.
Now I’m wondering what steps should be taken so XMP 2.0 and 3600 MHz can work automatically without problems.
Thank you for your help and insights.
Regards,
Mawrecki
The safe DRAM limit is 1.5v, but I'd go up to 1.45v personally. Following NightHawk's advice, start by increasing the SOC voltage to 1.1v. If that fails, try 1.15v. If neither works, keep XMP 2.0 enabled and manually lower the memory frequency to 3200mhz, then test. If that also fails, reduce it to 3000mhz. The first-gen Ryzen models had limited memory support, though the Ryzen Threadripper offers better silicon performance compared to the first-gen. Typically, 1st Gen Ryzen CPUs are capped around 3000-3200mhz.
are you referring to purchasing two kits with a combined storage capacity of 64GB?
Yes, I have 4x16 which equals 64 GB.
Official spec suggests 1.35V.
After 14 hours of MemTest86 testing, the results were...
I've been testing 1.45 on my DRAM for some time now. No problems with the R5 2600. Consider manually adjusting the SOC voltage to 1.1v and running at 3600mhz. If that doesn't work, raise the voltage to around 1.4v.
1.5v is the safe threshold for DRAM. 1.45v would be the upper limit I'd consider personally. Following NightHawk's advice, increase SOC voltage to 1.1v. If that fails, try 1.15v. Should that also not work, enable XMP 2.0 and manually lower the memory frequency to 3200mhz, then test. If unsuccessful, reduce it to 3000mhz. The first-gen Ryzen models had limited memory support, though the Ryzen Threadripper offers better silicon performance compared to the first generation. Typically, 1st Gen Ryzen CPUs are capped around 3000-3200mhz.
