Finally got everything to post. Ran a few RAM tests. One marginal/bad stick.

RMAed RAM. Running on two sticks.

Swapped in ASRock RX5700 for nVidia 210. Removed nVidia drivers. All good until I loaded RX5700 drivers. Moving to the video card forum.]]> Thu, 19 Sep 2019 05:57:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=68030&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#68030 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67999&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67999 Author: Xaltar

IMC: Integrated Memory Controller, it is built into the CPU.

Do not bump your RAM voltage up that much all at once. I would go up to 1.36 then
1.37 to a max of 1.4, if 1.4 does not allow all sticks to POST then RAM voltage isn't
the problem. Any more than 1.4v is too much and will shorten the lifespan of
your system significantly or worse, cause it to fail outright (if set higher).

Too late to RMA my CPU. This build has taken forever. What is the IMC?

Voltage already set at 1.35 per XMP. Going to try 1.4.

I have tried RAM sticks in A2/B2 then A1/B1. I have rotated the RAM between different slots thinking there is on weak slot.]]> Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:42:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67993&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67993 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67981&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67981 Author: Xaltar

Try bumping up the RAM voltage to say 1.36v then save, shut down and install the
other two modules. If that fails, try disable XMP, set RAM voltage to 1.25v then
install all 4 modules. If you have not already done so, try two sticks of RAM
in A2 and B2 then switch to A1 and B1 to make sure all the slots are working
and working in dual channel. If the system is able to POST in both scenarios
then it could be the CPU.

You might have a weak IMC on your CPU. If that turns out to be the case then
you may want to look into RMAing it.

OK. The only headache left is the RAM.
2 x Gskill Sniper F4-3400C160-16GSXW (4 sticks of 8 GB)

I can only run two sticks. I have gone into BIOS and changed the RAM settings to XMP 2.0 which does match the RAM. I have tried swapping RAM sticks in and out to see if there is a bad stick. Haven't found anything obvious.

If I install four sticks the PC won't post.]]> Tue, 17 Sep 2019 22:00:39 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67967&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67967 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67931&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67931 Author: kgiesselman

Swapped the RAM. Swapped out the new ASRock RX5700 for a really basic nVidia card.

The board booted. Updated to BIOS 1.7 which caused another hour or so of consternation. Board is booted into BIOS now. Reported that my UEFI Rufus built USB OS boot drive is not UEFI. Wow, is it really supposed to be this hard?]]> Tue, 17 Sep 2019 03:17:46 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67931&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67931 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67860&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67860 Author: Xaltar

Your RAM appears to be on the QVL for your board for Matisse and you have tried 2
different CPUs though your RAM is likely not properly compatible with Pinnacle
Ridge. I don't see your PSU listed, that is another thing I would look into
before RMAing anything. If it is not up to spec, is old and degraded or defective
it could easily account for your issue. ]]> Sat, 14 Sep 2019 02:46:53 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67860&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67860 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67854&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67854 Author: kgiesselman

Swapped in 1500X. Same result. I know this CPU is good. Bad motherboard?

I have cleared the CMOS. Not sure what to do before I RMA the board.]]> Sun, 08 Sep 2019 03:19:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67669&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67669 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67662&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67662 Author: kgiesselman

Reseated CPU
Plugged 4 prong CPU plug, in addition to 8 prong plug

Same sad result.

Going to swap in an old 1500X to see if I have a CPU problem of a motherboard problem.]]> Sun, 08 Sep 2019 00:19:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12376&PID=67662&title=is-x570-steel-legend-matisse-compatible#67662
