ASRock Z690 Extreme DDR4 - dram issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This is one of the few places I find the exact issue im running into with this board. In gear 1 command rate 2. I am able to boot my samsung B die kit at 3600 16-16-16-34 but even losening the timings to 17-17-17-36 will still error out before even 100% in hci memtest. This is even with turning up vcsa to 1.3v so there is possibly just something iffy about this board. at the moment I am just running the kit at 3200 14-14-14-30 with only 0.950v vcsa and it will pass hci memtest to over 1000%+. all of this is on the latest bio so what ever they have done is not enough for ram compatibility or its just that poorly desinged. even if 3600mhz boots in gear 1 on this board for someone I would strongly suggest you run a memtest like hci memtest to make sure it is really stable.

	Glad you have it working,but my problem is different,i can play games ect...,everythings working fine,except that i can't set it to 3600,so i still think its a mem compat problem that can be solved via a bios update.

	Just wanted to follow up on my issue. Got my replacement motherboard (got the exact same one). This time, absolutely no problem. Put together the PC, booted into bios, set to xmp 3600 and still had no issue. I guess I got unlucky with my first board.

	After updating to latest bios 3.06,problems still there,think i doin something wrong. If i set it to xmp,it should just read the 3600 and start with the correct settings.

	When i go in the bios,its recognise the memory as ddr4 2133. So set it manualy to 3100,it works,3200 and 3600 failing to boot.

	I assume you were able to at least get in the bios at see the board recognize the ram? In my case, none of the onboard outputs seemed to display anything. I brought the Z690 to Microcenter where I bought it and they had similar results with their own ram as well. Ended up returning it. They didn't have any in stock but I am giving the board another shot and waiting for it to be delivered.

	Seems asrock have to fix their ram problems on some boards,here also problems with ram. Can get it to 3100mhz,but i want 3600mhz cause the ram is 3600mhz and not 3100. Hope they fix it with a bios update,or ill buy another motherboard.
