I had a similar issue on my system, although my setup also includes a **docking station laptop connected to external monitors. In my case, unstable RAM settings caused random freezes and boot problems. Updating the BIOS, enabling the correct EXPO profile, and testing the memory with one module at a time helped identify the issue. If anyone has experienced RAM stability problems on the X670E TAICHI, I'd be interested to know which BIOS version and memory kit worked best.

ok an update: after I got a new board, I tested everything (really everything) again.

Used a different power supply (Corsair TX 650).
Disconnected all consumers (SSDs, NVME) etc.
CMOS reset again

Here it comes:

With a placement of the two modules (2x 16GB) on B2 and B1 it works even with everything (all periphery) connected.

What do you think?
Does there seem to be an incompatibility of the EXPO modules? If so, should I have to open an RMA request... or will a future BIOS Update help here?

No it is just two 16GB RAM sticks that I bought as an original kit. So one kit AMD EXPO Memory, consisting of two modules. Total capacity = 32GB
It does not matter which module I place in the RAM bank. Both work -but unfortunately not together.

Total. I have claimed the board once completely (exchanged a new X670E Taichi board). The new board now shows the same phenomenon.
Since CPU and RAM work otherwise, my hope is something in future BIOS updates. Unless here are still recommendations to exclude errors otherwise.

Correct. It does not work if you place the modules in A2 and B2. This is actually recommended in the manual.
The RGB elements of the modules light up during startup. Dr.Debug shows 15 and then C5 (after that nothing happens). The fans on the board remain constant at increased power.

If I place only one module in B2, then after a bios reset first 15 is displayed, then the board apparently learns the memory (different displays change at DrDebug) and at the end the fans regulate themselves to a quiet level and the system boots cleanly.

What else is installed?
CPU: AMD 7700X
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX - 850W
Cooler: EKL Alpenföhn Glacier Water 360 AiO - hand-tightened!
Case: Fractal Tornado
NVME: 2x Seagate Firecuda 530 - in M2_1 and M2_2
SSD SATA3: Crucial MX500 - SATA3_1

Hope this gives a better overview.]]> Sat, 31 Dec 2022 23:56:26 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=102659&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#102659 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=102621&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#102621 Author: CiTay

hello all,
I have basically the same problems.

Taichi X670E
AMD 7700X
Trident Z5 F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR (actually 2x)
2x Seagate Firecuda 530 NVME

The system does not boot up with double RAM.
Originally it even worked for 2 weeks.
Now it doesn't.
The following BIOS versions are tested:
1.07
1.09
1.11
1.11.AS06
1.14.AS06

no solution so far. So I have to use only one RAM bar in B2.
The board boots and Dr. Debug gives error 15 and error C5.
However, the RAM bars work individually without any problems. A RAM KIT 2x16GB was also purchased.
Unfortunately a very annoying issue.

I also have same issue with x670e steel legend, 7950x and 4 modules 32GB Samsung M323R4GA3BB0-CQKOD(DDR5 PC5-38400).
With 2 modules i can run with bus 6000c36 easily but with 4 modules i can only get bus 3600
Now i am using latest bios version with 1.14.AS06 Beta]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2022 17:29:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=102575&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#102575 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=101733&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#101733 Author: apatch

Same issue here with and X670E Pro RS with G.Skill 4x F5-6000J3238F16GX2-TZ5NR bought as 2 separate dual kits but with consecutive 4 serial numbers (xxxxxx11157-xxxxxx11160). They even have EXPO profile but indeed were only tested with 2 sticks, like even all sticks. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Pro%20RS/index.asp#Memory

First bios 1.03 even somehow/sometimes has worked but after recommended flashback to 1.11 it even doesn't boot with all 4 sticks of ram. With only 2 all works ok, sad I didn't know this before buying all 4 sticks of ram.]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2022 17:09:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=101733&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#101733 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=101490&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#101490 Author: CiTay

Yes, that comes on top of that. You are an early adopter of a brand new platform, which is also AMD's first foray into DDR5 technology. From what i hear, it's not the total catastrophy that it was with the first Ryzen generation where people were having issues left and right and begging for new BIOS updates to solve the most annoying things. But you can't expect smooth sailing either for the first weeks and months.

There are just the first early adopters reporting back to the board manufacturers about BIOS issues and lack of RAM optimization, so the improvements based on user feedback are just slowly picking up some steam. With any totally new platform, you will see rather big improvements being made in the first couple BIOS updates.

However, even on Intel 600-series, there still are issues with XMP support once you get to DDR5-6000 (and certainly above), as well as being restricted to lower frequencies when using four modules. The Z690 boards have almost a year of BIOS updates under their belt, but some fundamental limitations about the early DDR5 technology obviously cannot be solved completely.

Anyway, if you expect zero problems, then you can't be an early adopter, you have to wait at least a few months for the first few BIOS updates to have ironed out the worst annoyances. If you want the latest and greatest tech right after it was released, you're gonna have some "bananaware" that slowly ripens over time.

And i'm not even sure they can ever get DDR5-6000+ working flawlessly with four high-capacity dual-rank modules. This might be too much to ask for the first generation DDR5 solutions.]]> Fri, 07 Oct 2022 01:37:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24958&PID=101490&title=x670e-taichi-ram-issue#101490
