Hi, I have the Asrock X370 Killer SLI (not the ac version, AFAIK).

Were you ever able to make your system work with four memory sticks (I'm thinking that maybe later BIOS versions fixed the problem)?

Also, I have a water cooled system currently running an 1800x (using 4x16 GB RAM), do you think that would work well with the 5900x? ]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 11:32:26 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23406&PID=127100&title=5950x-on-asrock-x370-killer-sli-ac#127100 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23406&PID=100163&title=5950x-on-asrock-x370-killer-sli-ac#100163 Author: mkmcgregor

Not recommended, but it will works.

I'm running a 5900x in the same board.
Two issues I've encountered.

1) VRMs are "fine" for the either 5900x or 5950x, however the heatsinks are not. The VRM with the 5900x running Prime95 will exceed 100C over time. It runs and does not fail, but a 5950x would push that even further. This is only if completely maxed out using tests (small FFT) that drive the power target up a lot. For normal operation day to day, all core with certain operations, even gaming, either processor would be fine on this board.
2) Trying to run four sticks of 16GB 3200Mhz CL16 ram. Under 7.03 beta BIOS, I would get boot looping even with default 2133 memory settings but was able to manually set the XMP with one stick, insert remaining 3, and cleanly boot from then on with 64GB and XMP settings. 7.10 released BIOS no longer supports that and boot loops with 64GB regardless of what timings and speed I try. Works fine with two sticks. Disappointed in that change in BIOS. Even two sticks at default BIOS 2133 settings boot loops. I always have to use only one to enter BIOS, then set XMP, boot to windows, shutdown, and finally add the second stick. This boots reliably from then until a BIOS upgrade that resets the memory settings back to non-XMP. The I need to repeat the process. Odd that 2133 won't boot with more than one stick and unfortunate that 4 sticks no longer support; at least my memory modules 4xOLOy same part. ]]> Mon, 30 May 2022 21:53:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23406&PID=100163&title=5950x-on-asrock-x370-killer-sli-ac#100163 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23406&PID=97708&title=5950x-on-asrock-x370-killer-sli-ac#97708 Author: Mohammed

Hello guys, im currently running this setup
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
Motherboard: Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac
Ram: Crucial 2300 48gb ram (I had one 16gb stick gone bad)
GPU: Asus Strix 3090
PSU: EVGA 750wat gold.
Storage: 1tb nvm and 2x500gb ssd.

I want to upgrade the CPU to Ryzen 9 5950x and also buy a new kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3600.

I know i have to update the bios to the latest update and then i can install the Ryzen 9, but did anyone actually try it? and is it safe?


thanks! ]]> Mon, 04 Apr 2022 22:48:46 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23406&PID=97708&title=5950x-on-asrock-x370-killer-sli-ac#97708
