Stability problems reported with G.SKILL Trident Z5 and Z690 Aorus models
Hi everyone!
I’m working with a setup that includes two G.SKILL Trident Z5 6000 modules (F5-6000U3636E16GX2-TZ5K) and a Z690 Aorus Ultra board. The memory part numbers listed are F5-6000U3636E16GX2-TZ5RK, which is very close but not exactly the same. My BIOS version is F5, and I’ve also tried the F6a version. The BIOS doesn’t list this memory in its XMP 3.0 certification program.
The CPU I’m using is Intel 12700KF. When I enable the XMP profile in BIOS, my system crashes during playback or web browsing. I confirmed the memory specs match, but the problem persists. I reached out to Gigabyte and they explained that since both the motherboard and RAM are certified for 6000MHz speeds, the issue likely lies with the processor itself, which isn’t certified for those frequencies.
Could Intel or Gigabyte help resolve this? Should I try overclocking manually to see if it stabilizes things, or is this a case where I’m stuck? Thanks!
Both items arrived together in the same package.
I’ll attempt it now, but first I want to understand how to adjust just the speed. Thanks.
