Glad to hear it With Ryzen more often than not post failure is RAM related Enjoy your new system ]]> Sat, 16 Feb 2019 16:03:44 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60755&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60755 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60754&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60754 Author: xiongk25

Update guys!!

Thanks for all the feed back. You never knew you can learn so much until you do things yourself and run into errors, lol

I received my new ram and they work flawless. Now I have almost enough parts to build a "2nd" computer.

Thanks again.]]> Sat, 16 Feb 2019 13:38:00 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60754&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60754 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60679&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60679 Author: xhue

All 'profiles' which a given RAM support should be written in the SPD. If a mobo can't 'negotiate' the profiles between the CPU and the RAM, that's a whole other story.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2019 18:46:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60679&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60679 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60676&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60676 Author: Xaltar

If only that were always the case, we would get a lot fewer threads like this The issue is that the fail safe defaults are determined by the RAM's JDEC information not an industry standard. In other words, if the RAM in question has a default JDEC of 2400 or 2666 and the system is unable to post with those settings you are out of luck. In some cases, if you install a different RAM module that is able to post you can manually set the frequency to 2133, save and exit then install the troublesome RAM. After all that it most often will post but is still unable to run at anything beyond 2133 without extensive tweaking and messing about. For the average user this is impossible and for most more savvy users it is simply unacceptable to spend money on something that does not function as advertised. The only time I would recommend the workaround I mentioned is in the case of a user being unable to return the RAM for some reason. ]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2019 15:34:55 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60676&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60676 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60674&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60674 Author: gizmic

hmmm the system should boot in fail safe 2133 settings no matter what type of ram.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2019 12:29:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60674&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60674 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60667&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60667 Author: Xaltar

Kshendel, I have seen numerous people have issues trying to use Trident X RAM with Ryzen (AM4), here and on other forums with multiple brand boards. I will always be honest on these forums, if I suspected the board was at fault I would have immediately recommended an RMA. ]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2019 05:16:10 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60667&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60667 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60666&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60666 Author: kschendel

My money is on your motherboard being broken. I suppose it could be the memory but I don't really believe it. Any chance you could borrow a different brand stick just to see if it boots at all?

DDR4 RAM is tricky to navigate. There are many different kits that are not on QVLs that work perfectly fine and there are some that simply won't allow post. It is very much a hit and miss scenario. Things have greatly improved since AMD launched the AM4 platform but there are still a few RAM kits out there that simply won't work with it.

You are correct, the W denotes the color variant of the RAM. As for LPX kits, I have used 2 different LPX kits on my X370 Taichi without issue but I have seen a few reports on the forums using other LPX kits that didn't turn out well. Both my kits are older and no longer available new so I won't list their part numbers. The kit you found is on the QVL so it will work but, if you are looking for a cheaper option, bare in mind you can also check the QVL of the RAM itself, so long as AM4 boards are listed for the kit it should work fine. We see a lot of people having good luck with GSkill's Flair X RAM kits as well as their Fortis line on the budget end.

Good luck and let us know how it goes

I'm going through the QVL list on the page and I found this kit

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16
P/N: CMW16GX4M2C3200C16W

It matches the parts as supported under "Memory QVL (Pinnacle Ridge)" except for the "W" at the end which I figure it stands for "white"

I just want to verify that the ram kit is compatible with this motherboard before purchasing it.

As noted above, the current Ram kit that I have is not listed under the QVL list.

Another question, are there any Corsair LPX ram that is compatible with this motherboard? I can't seem to find any listed.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2019 00:02:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60661&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60661 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60659&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60659 Author: xiongk25

It could be the ram.

I did transfer over the ram from an Asus x470-i motherboard and it worked fine there.

Is it normal for one ram kit to work with a certain brand of motherboard compared to the next? I know that there are "AMD" ram kits but I had this ram kit from before and figured i'd use them.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2019 23:00:52 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10882&PID=60659&title=taichi-ultimate-no-post-code-3e-15-67#60659
