UPDATE: After finding many posts about CPU multiplier not sticking I found that contrary to other boards I MUST leave Intel SpeedStep, SpeedShift, Turbo all enabled TOGTHER with my All Cores = 50x in order for the multiplier to stick.

I've managed to be stable through blender render benchmarks at 5.0ghz @ 1.31v
Setting VCCIO and VCCSA is still a necessity though. XMP still doesn't work for me with 4 sticks of RAM (I believe it has less issues with 2 sticks)]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2020 00:47:11 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73320&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73320 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73313&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73313 Author: tomdotcom

Hi,

I just switched to AsRock from a length period of time with Gigabyte and MSI boards, thought I would give the steel legend a try as it seems to have a good feature set for the price.

I too am dumbfounded by why XMP profiles aren't instantly recognized. I think there are definitely gremlins dating back to Z170 boards that AsRock cannot solve.

The fix for me and many others is to use VCCIO to 1.10 and VCCSA to 1.1-1.15V.

See this thread: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6860&title=z370-extreme4-xmp-bug

Long story short, I noticed on initial boot that 2/4 of my ram modules (XMP2.0 DDR32000) weren't being recognized.

I'm running at 8700k overclocked to 5.0ghz (which i'm having problems with getting the multiplier to stick, and Intel speed step disabled (keeps re-enabling itself. It took a few reboots for Vcore to stick, and now the multiplier varies from 43x to 50x randomly.

Never had these types of issues with Gigabyte or MSI. Quite surprised as AsRock generally has a following.

NOT happy with this purchase. My 8700k does 5.0ghz with ease at 1.3V on the gigabyte Z370 board.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2020 16:21:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73313&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73313 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73287&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73287 Author: GeriatricWookie

So it just so happens that I resolved this issue adding 2 additional sticks of 16 gig for a total of 4 @64gig total. Leading me to the judgement that the xmp profile in the bios by ASRock contains the wrong voltage information for 2 memory sticks to run at 3200! ]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2020 10:38:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73287&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73287 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73218&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73218 Author: GeriatricWookie

Hello,

I just recently build a new pc and since doing so I have been racking my brain around this issue with much frustration. I cannot get the ram to run at 3200 stable. Each time I try it locks up. I have run memtest86 on both modules separate, together and the only way the memory tests doesn't fail is when I set the memory to run at 2666mhz. I have used the XMP profile, updated the bios to 1.30 and still cannot get it to run stable at the 3200. The ram is on the memory QVL (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16) and in the proper slots (A2/B2). Here are my system specs below:
INTEL CORE I7-9700K 3.60GHZ
ASROCK Z390 STEEL LEGEND
CORSAIR 16GB DDR4-3200 VENGEANCE LPX

Any help is appreciated!]]> Sat, 29 Feb 2020 22:03:26 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13755&PID=73218&title=z390-steel-legend-memory-issues#73218
