   6 beeps is just a false positive and has no bad effects. it is glitch with agesa 1.0.0.4 (threadripper). UEFI 1.80 and later use new agesa and have beep glitch. There are reports that 1.92 beta fixes the beep glitch.
@OP, you do realize that the official highest speed supported with your setup (2 dimms per channel, dual rank) is 1866MHz, right? anything higher is overclocking and not guaranteed. I bet if you test your RAM 1 stick at a time, you'll be able to get the rated speed (which is still technically overclocking). You're already getting 2133MHz with 2DPC dual rank, which is better than officially supported speed.

Nothing is wrong with your hardware. You're just expecting it to run faster than what it's designed for. You might be better off visiting forums better suited for overclocking if you want to get closer to your RAM's XMP speed.

	ssateneth, where did you get this information? My personal communication with AMD Support says 2133 MHz for 128 GB in TR. Several users have also reported this speed here. Enjoy, John.

	Hello, I'm still using the p1.30 uefi bios and my ram is at 2133mhz even though it is rated 3200mhz, and the most important problem is that the O.S. is only able to use 1/4 of that or 32GB (not 128GB). I can't even remember what combinations I tried with less RAM, but think that the best I got was 4 dimms (64GB) in slots a1,a2,b1,b2, dual channel. I really don't want to try testing each individual slot and each stick of ram, but do you think that would really be the best thing to do, or is this just a configuration that is not possible, even though the specs say it should be? I have tried so many things, that I am at a loss as to know how to proceed. If someone knows what they would do in this situation, I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks, Bryan

	Bryan, you're currently wanting to have your cake and eating it too. 1. You're not on the latest UEFI; 2. There is even some more recent beta UEFI; 3. I'd honestly stop any further troubleshooting at this point; 4. Until AMD fix their AGESA nobody is getting good speeds on 128GB; 5. XMP speeds are NOT guaranteed! Not for Intel, not for AMD! End of story! 6. You SHOULD be getting QUAD channel, albeit at lower speeds; If you can't comprehend what people here are saying, I'm afraid you're in for some bad times. Things to try - update that fvcking UEFI for starters, clear the CMOS! Try every possible combination and permutation with your RAM sticks and slots. Make sure RAM sticks are seated properly. Clear CMOS every time you change RAM sticks/slots. There is a chance your RAM sticks are not matched. Happens more often that anyone thinks. Stay positive! Keep us posted!

	Hi, I have tried all uefi versions including betas and nothing will post except for p1.30 (with 2.0 I?�m getting code ?�c0??, and all except for p1.30 are in a boot loop. At this point, I?�m not worried about the speed, but the fact that an O.S. can?�t use more than 32GB, with 96gb ?�hardware reserved?? I am getting quad channel with 128gb with p1.30 and 2133mhz. I do comprehend what people are saying here, but the only thing I have not tried is each individual stick of ram in each slot. P1.30 shows all 128gb in uefi. I have not been able to update uefi with 128gb, (even with clearing cmos) but only max of 64gb in dual channel when updated. I apologize if I am not providing correct info, but please let me know what details I should be supplying. The ram sticks are all serialized in perfect order, so they should be matched as the kit cost me a premium. Thanks very much for your reply. Bryan

	At that point I'm rather lost! Your mobo & CPU should handle ALL your RAM in quad-channel configuration @ JEDEC speeds. Slow, but it should work. If I were you I'd definitely go with the latest UEFI and try booting up gradually with more and more RAM, i.e. 1 stick, 2 sticks, 3 sticks, etc. Please pay huge attention to the respective RAM slots on the mobo, as you're adding the RAM sticks. At the end you SHOULD see 128GB in quad-channel, being it @ 1866 or 2133MHz. If this doesn't happen I'd start RMA-ing stuff, starting with the mobo, then RAM, then CPU. System not being able to work with default settings in default configuration is called a defect in my book. Lyrical detour - what you're experiencing is one of the reasons I didn't go for Threadripper in first place. TR platform is still in its infancy, plus defects happen and will happen, being on Intel or AMD platforms.

	I cannot find the official AMD source at this time, though here is a copy from a review website. https://techreport.com/review/32474/the-tech-report-system-guide-september-2017-edition/4 "Ryzen Threadripper CPUs are subject to similar limitations, just with four memory channels instead of two: Quad-channel, dual-rank, two DIMMs per channel: DDR4-1866 Quad-channel, single-rank, two DIMMs per channel: DDR4-2133 Quad-channel, dual-rank, one DIMM per channel: DDR4-2400 Quad-channel, single-rank, one DIMM per channel: DDR4-2667 " If you were using single rank ram, then sure, 2133. But you are using dual rank, so 1866. BTW, your hardware reserved thing from OP is a RAM training issue. CPU dropping channels because of bad stability. Adjust stability related stuff (SoC volts, ram volt, etc) until success. Edited by ssateneth - 08 Jan 2018 at 5:20am

	[URL=][/URL]You folks are great! Thanks much for your replies. However, even when I set xmp speed to 1866, uefi still shows 2133?? Could you advise on what SoC / Ram voltages to try? Also, do you know of any memory remapping uefi settings to try? Edited by jbmerrill - 08 Jan 2018 at 5:51am
