Motherboard: Asus Prime z790-a wifi (not my first choice but it was available)
CPU: i7 13700k
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x32Gb 5200mhz 40CL
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 Tb / 2tb D:
Graphics: Gigabyte 3070ti Aorus elite
windows11 pro 22h2

is this normal? I can't get the ram to run full speed with this motherboard without crashing BSOD Memory issues. 5000mhz is all I can set in Bios / stable.

Temps and HWiNFO64 data while running cinbench:

BIOS version? I ran 7000MT/s on that same board.
If not the latest, update to 0802 and try again.

BTW what cooler do you have? 101C is a little alarming for a a 13700K..

Bios says it's the latest with 0602
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 0602, 9/21/2022


Artic II 360 AIO running 1800 RPM


idle temperature is 38/39C

You have a bad mount, I suggest redoing it ASAP.

Your CPU is throttling/overheating because your cooling needs to be remounted

Try 1.1 VCCSA or at least 1.0
0.816v seems off in the readings....







Try 1.26-1.35 CPU VDDQ

try 1.28 vdd, 1.28vddq

Here's 0802

Highly unlikely he needs more than .9v VCCSA/ or >1.25 CPU VDDQ at 5200MT/s

And optionally looking at a contact frame to replace the ILM, if results from repasting/remounting aren't sufficient to contain the throttling.

I've been running ~0.9V VCCSA since ADL (12700K, stable to 5.4GHz, 13700K stable to 5.8GHz).

What is delete referring to?

His voltage isn't reporting properly or auto is failing, hence 1.1

Check what mem you got with cpu-z, i'm afraid is not even m-die.

 

[aaron.e.bennett]

Thank you all, it was a bad mount on the backplate: I still can't get the ram to post correctly though. I have not seen an 0802 version on Asus for this motherboard. Where did you get it from?

No more CPU throttling though.

 

[stahlhart]

When you say you cannot get the RAM to post correctly, do you mean that you are not able to set an XMP profile for its rated speed? Have you tried setting the memory up manually?

What is the exact part/model number for the RAM kit?

Edit: the QVL for the motherboard lists Dominator memory kits at 5200 -- not sure if it matters or not, but you might not have supported/tested memory for this motherboard.

5200 kit is likely micron.
