having had an Asus Hero with a 12900k and gskill 6000 memory and also an Asus Extreme with 12900ks and corsair 6200 memory i can tell you that the 12th gen with ddr5 has been nothing but a pain in the ass, we are 6 months in now and the ddr5 has been a real load of aggro

[@jinnakururu9466]

I have z690 formula with gskill 6000 64 gb, game crash. Reduced speed to 5600 still some big game such as COD warzone crash. What speed should I reduce to? the voltage ram is 1.345. Thank you.

[@JohnOLooney]

@@jinnakururu9466 id drop it to 4800 and try it. you’ll find you can run it at 6000 if you only run two sticks sadly. the whole ddr5 release has been a total f*ck up and i would never ever again trust an asus QVL

[@jinnakururu9466]

@@JohnOLooney I can run 6000 64gb but I think all games would crash to hell. I ran valorant in 6000mhz crash, reduced to 5600 is fine but a AAA game is crash to floor. Can I ask some question if I enable xmp 1 but reduced the speed but not the voltage is it fine? 🤔

[@jinnakururu9466]

Da hell? I entered bios setup and freeze in bios setting lmao. Is this with rams or wat.

[@sativares]

@@jinnakururu9466 You cannot run 6000 mzh if you want to have 64 GB ram (four sticks) It isn't built for that or in that way. 32gb (two 16gb ram) is the maximum you can have if you want to run at 6000 mhz. You need to know how it works technically. What you are doing is wrong and goes against the physics.

[@robertcras8151]

I have my XMP not enabled, I want to. But changing the voltage (playing with it) seems tricky to do and you have to remember what you changed in case it doesn't work.... Why is it not easier? Turn it on.... ready!!

[@JohnOLooney]

So to update you, i bought a 14900k cpu as i had heard and read that the IMC (internal memory controller) on the 12th gen is often crap and that is why they wont run an XMP profile. But the 14th gen has now been polished and they are a lot better. As soon as i plugged it in it ran the XMP flawlessly, gaming, benchmmarks , you name it. Its the 12th Gen IMC - its crap and if your unlucky you get a crap one that wont run XMP. Ive tried four memory kits on the 14900k, they all run as they should XMP, none did on two 12th gen cpus i had , that ive now gotten rid of. This is all on my z690 Extreme board btw, i have two 32GB sticks running at 6400mhz no problem, gaming , benchmarking , all perfect and stable with the 14900k on XMP, i guess they have finally perfected the 10nm process now on 14th gen, at least this is what it points to for me and im using the 3101 bios on my extreme board. Youll see for yourself. I was reluctant to buy a new CPU as its onyl about 15% faster than my old 12900k, but the big jump in memory speed and being able to run an XMP profile swung it for me and i took the plunge - it is the IMC on the 12th gen, they are poor and i was told this by an intel engineer before i pulled the trigger and bought one. You have to tweak the voltages BECAUSE the 12th gen IMC is crap. You dont need to on 14th gen

[@HardwareNumb3rs]

Yes, I noticed that, this socket CPUs is luck based regarding IMC, pity, because the cpu itself rocks!

[@jeffrockr]

Im in this boat, trying to run my 4x32 6400 without luck. Currently trying again but im stuck in a look so itll end up booting in safe mode and i guess ill have to either use only 2 dimms or just turn off xmp. Its a bummer

[@Chris-zf2xk]

@@jeffrockr Enable XMP II and lower the target MHZ by 200mhz. Unfortunately, you wont be able to get 4 dimms stable especially at that density at 6400mhz. I seldom can get my 4x16gb Corsair Dominators 6600mhz to game for about a day before encountering blue screens. I finally was able to get stable at 6000mhz. This is with a 13900k on the Asus Z690 extreme.

I have the extreme mobo, x2 16gb same ram and for the life of me they don't boot on anything but stock bios settings. @4000mhz. Paired with. 12700k. Just put it together tonight and I'm hugely disappointed and saddened by this crap. I'm so frustrated.

[@jeffrockr]

​@@TheIcePhoenixxyoull most likely be able to go to 4800 with xmp off. Just so you know. It defaults at 4000 but 4800 works and is stable with 4 ddr5 dims. Still considering going back to 2 x 32 dimms instead of 4 and try to have them work with xmp

Team Group DDR5 6400 40-40-40-84 runs flawlessly on the Asus Maximus Hero, on the current 1505 and last 3 bios XMPII. My rig has been running perfect no crashes or boot up issues for a year.

[@sativares]

Because they run 64gb instead of 32gb (two single sticks) which is the maximum you can have to run at full speed. It's not designed to run 6400 mhz with four 16 GB sticks. Remove two of them and run dual channel and it will run at full speed. People has no clue how the memories works technically, thinking it can run at full speed at any number of sticks, but that's not how it works.

[@Jimmy-on1er]

I have a ASUS rog strix z790 e. I did everything he said for the ram part and didn’t work. But! I got them to boot at XMP 6400mhz, what works for me was, instead of installing my ram on the 1-3 slots I change them to 2-4 slots. Motherboard book shows to install them that way so I did. Problem fix. Now am able to boot on XMP II with no problem. Please make sure your ram are install correctly when you do so, meaning they are tight down properly on the ram slot. Best of luck everyone

Hello Sir, I have two questions for you: I would like to know whether to put in a mobo that has a DDR5 6000mhz RAM limit, inserting a pair of 7200mhz RAM and setting it for example to 5800 with the XMP profile from the BIOS; this Motherboard is about to start. I definitely have to set the Timings different from the default ones. Or would you boot the operating system in SPD and that's it? Second question: in an Asus B660M motherboard prepared with DDR5 RAM and with Intel 12th gen. I5 12500 CPU, Can it work with a pair of Cas type RAMs with 30cl latency? Or the Timing must be reset if bios doesn't detect them? Not all brands should work, even Non-QVL. Those who can try various types of kits know this. I hope you answer me. Advice? Thanks and have a good day

[@Babtiista]

@Cowboy63 first of all chagne the bios with 1304.Secondly let 12600k stock with MCE enabled,speed step enabled and speed shift enabled from bios.After try this settings..after choose XMP I 6000mhz and change the speed with 5800 mhz,change system agent voltage to 1,20 and VDDQ and VDD to 1,43. Run memory test pro 700% at least and lin pack extreme 40 passes. i cant use my XMP 6000mhz because my 12600k not have enough memory controller power but after hundred of hours i make it to run completely stable at 5800mhz cl 28-34-34 with sub timmings foul tight without any crashes and i passed also prime 95 large FFTs for 24 hours without error.Right now im faster than 6400 cl 32 ram on super pi and my latency is 58 on aida 64.Let me know and im gonna help you.Every setup is different but i know very well the ASUS z690 motherboards and i learned a lot the last few months about DDR5.

Your CPU max sopport aspeeds Up to DDR5 4800 MT/s, Up to DDR4 3200 MT/s

[@alsteooaai]

hello, under € 350 what is the motherboard that barricades / limits less the (high) frequencies of the DDR5 RAM? With the highest maximum frequency limit of the RAM, which supports the highest possible frequency in OC pushed DDR5 (with top-of-the-range CPU and RAM working at higher frequencies than those generally supported by the Z690 mobos, which therefore in this case could represent a limit and block / run RAM and CPU at a lower frequency than the max they could reach, unless we are talking about Asus Apex or very expensive mobos), then mobo that does not impose a frequency limit on CPU and RAM and letting them work at their high frequencies. I foresee in the future to probably put an i7-13900K (keeping the same mobo) so the only thing I need is that it is a model of mobo that lets CPU and RAM work at very high frequencies without barricading and not limiting CPU and RAM to the limit frequency of the mobo. With high max frequency limit (the one indicated by the manufacturers in the data sheets), but above all true in a real scenario, because I see that in the data sheets some models have indicated 5333MHz, others 6000MHz, but some say that all mobos with 4 DIMM / slot RAM barricade / limit all to 6400MHz (frequency of ddr5, even if these and the CPU could theoretically work in OC even at a little more than 6400MHz), hoping that this is not true, I am looking for a mobo suitable for OC pushed RAM, the goal is to try to bring even more mature ddr5 banks that I will buy in the future (with 13900k having better IMC and SA) at the highest achievable frequency, perhaps between 6500 and 7000MHz.
