I do not think there is a page that explains the changes.]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2020 23:00:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17455&PID=82108&title=memory-errors-memory-not-running-in-dual-channel#82108 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17455&PID=82067&title=memory-errors-memory-not-running-in-dual-channel#82067 Author: michala

Done it already. Came with 5.2 out of the box, it's been at 5.5 for about two weeks and no change.

Further, the site clearly states:

"*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven, Summit or Bristol Ridge CPU is being used on your system."

The RYZEN 7 1700 is a Summit Ridge CPU, soo...not necessarily a good idea.

Do you have a link to the details of what each subsequent BIOS upgrade is supposed to accomplish?

Again, this memory was listed as compatible with ryzen CPUs three years ago: it was supposed to work out of the box.

A bios update may help. It is a small possibility the memory controller in the CPU is defective.]]> Wed, 09 Dec 2020 22:16:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17455&PID=82062&title=memory-errors-memory-not-running-in-dual-channel#82062 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17455&PID=82049&title=memory-errors-memory-not-running-in-dual-channel#82049 Author: michala

Hi guys.

So I'm running the following:

Two 8 gig sticks of G.SKILL Model: F4-2400C15D-16GFT

I am using it with the following equipment:

mb: ASRock Fatal1ty X370 GAMING X BIOS 5.50.

cpu: AMD RYZEN 7 1700X 8-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 95W YD170XBCAEWOF

Two huge problems:

1) The sticks do not run in Dual Channel mode, even though they are capable of such a mode.

2) You can only run one stick without errors. This is single rank memory, you can therefore put them in any of the slots.

If you run one stick at a time, memtest86 posts 100% tests and I tested each slot, with each stick.

The second you put a second stick into any of the slots, you get Win 10 system crashes and memtest85 either passes at 81%, 85% or crashes.

There is something seriously wrong with this setup. This should be running out of the box. This could be an AMD issue, I've sent out a tech support form - albeit on Sunday the 7th - but is there anyone here that can tell me if these sticks are flat out incompatible with Ryzen 7 CPUs?

The AMD memory / motherboard compatibility sheet has this memory on their list.

Need to know, this is causing a lot of crashes and I need to know if I need to sell this memory.

Will upgrading to the latest versions of BIOS solve anything?


Regards.
