    Posted: 08 Dec 2022 at 10:27am
Hi,

I'm having issues with support for Corsair Vengeance DD5 RAM with my Z790 Steel Legend WiFi. I've tried everything at this point. I have the latest (as of today) 4.01 version BIOS released on 2022/12/6. Currently my problem is when I try to run dual channel using the following RAM:

Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 5200MHz
OR
CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600 (PC5-44800)

I'm trying to just use either pair in dual channel mode. Currently the motherboard downsteps each stick to 3600mhz in single mode. Single mode currently is the only mode that works for me. I've tried slots A1/B1, A2/B2 combinations with no success.

I've been hoping for a BIOS update to fix this but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone encounter this and have any success? I feel like this is compatibility issue at this point.

Here is my system information. Currently using i9-13900KF with ASRock Z790 motherboard. RAM is Micron CMK64GX5M2B5200C40 DDR5-5200 (Corsair). Currently I can only get the two sticks to work in single channel mode and not dual channel.

I'm having the same problem, but with GSkill RAM. Individually each stick works in the A2 slot, but using A2/B2 together prevents post'ing. Any update?

Still having the same issue. Trying to use the RAM in A1,B1 or A2,B2 results in no POST. Using the latest BIOS also v4.01.

Was having the same issues with Corsair's Dominators 32gb..

But placed both in b1 and b2 and got the PC to boot.

When I checked in task manager said that had 32gb of ram available and 2 of 4 channels were in use.

I?™m having the same issue on Z790 PG Riptide, will boot with one stick of Corsair DDR5-5600 in slot B2, or two sticks in B1 and B2 (single channel) but if I put one in A2 and one in B2 it won?™t post and the DRAM light is red. After it fails to post and I remove one stick and reboot the speed is dropped to 3600. I?™ve updated BiOS to 4.13, and tried with XMP profile enabled.

Seems like a lot of ASRock Z790 boards are having memory issues?

EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM! on new Z790 Taichi with i5-13600K CPU with both Corsair DDR5-5200 Plat Dom 64GB and Corsair DDR5-5600 Plat Dom 32GB which is brand new.

Nothing will work in A slots whatsoever which means A1-B1 or A2-B2 (Dual Channel) will not work. I can only get all to work in B1-B2 and then can get it to work at proper speed.

I have tried removing and reseating the CPU and also upgrading to latest BIOS.

Very very frustrating and obviously not alone here.

UPDATE: Just tried Kingston Fury 7200 16GB same issue and then moved all over to my other machine and this is not the memories fault.I am also going to believe its not the CPU as there are no CPU error messages and everything works fine (in single mode) with ANY memory in B1-B2.

What kind of a performance hit would that be?

FURTHER UPDATE: Just tried things with my i9-12900K CPU and same problem exists.

THIS IS A MOTHERBOARD ISSUE

Unfortunately, after all known troubleshooting efforts I ultimately RMA?™d the Z790 Riptide and got an ASUS board instead, booted up first try with same CPU and RAM in dual channel, no issues.

Just registered to post this:

I've got almost the same issues with the Z790 Steel Legend WiFi.
I can boot into Windows just fine but after ~10 minutes I get constant c0000005 errors with apps and games just exiting to desktop and even BSOD.
Unable to install DirectX Runtimes for some reason.
Unable to install ANY Nvidia driver, old or new.
RAM is 2x G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5K), which is said to be supported by this MB. So I said ... let's buy 32GB of the same RAM, maybe mine is broken .
Brand new RAM (same make) and guess what - it still doesn't work.
Asrock support told me to RMA to my dealer.
Dealer said it'll take 4-6 weeks and they cannot replace the MB.

Bought an ASUS now. Works like a charm.

No more ASRock for me.
