Following my previous
post it seems that I am getting somewhere, yet it makes me feel wrong...
The 4x8Gb memory (F4-4000C15Q-32GVK) I got is unable to run anything above 3000Mhz with all 4 slots populated - immediate F9 error core
I checked the board with 2 DIMMs only :
- With the A2 & B2 slots - 4000Mhz like a charm with the D.O.C.P. or manual. Tested all 4 sticks - 2 by 2 - any pair gets 4000 Mhz.
- With the A1 & B1 slots - maximus is 3000Mhz - anything above is F9 as mentioned. - tested all 4 - any pair (or single) gets the same error above the 3000Mhz.
Reseated the CPU with the heatsink twice - same.
Checked with the BIOS v. 2402 beta and with the v. 2502 - same behavior.
However with the v. 2402 beta the MB allows 2000BCLK with the pair of the RAM sticks at A2 & B2 slots at 4000Mhz at 1:1 with stable Cinebench runs - not checked anything else yet. The recent BIOS v. 2502 is somehow limited with the BCLK - not getting the 2000 1:1 for me.
What is going on with this A1 B1 / A2 B2. Is it a faulty MB ? RMA ? Or is there any BIOS tweak I might try with the X570 to try to get the s slots to run above 3000Mhz ?
I have searched the thread and found different stories with the A1 B1 slots. Is there anyone here with this MB running fast 4 RAM sticks ?
