I recently bought a new build from Skytech, the Legacy 3.0 - with parts like gpu's being so hard to come by and price gouging, it just made sense to buy something already built. I inquired about the board prior to purchase, and confirmed it could handle and run the ram I was buying to upgrade (came with 16gb of ddr4-3000) - so everything should be good to go.
When I boot with the ram installed, xmp enabled, it freezes. If I manually go in and set the dram frequency to 3000 it boots fine and runs stable. Bios version P1.20 - the 4S has 1.40 out but since this is a one-off board 4S/AC - I don't believe I can flash to that newer version so not sure if that is the issue here or not.
I would really like to be able to, at the very least, run this ballistix ram at 3200 - ideally would be able to OC.

Hey there,
Try updating the BIOS to 1.21A, released August 2020.
Just flashed it on my rig and it works fine. Not sure what all is fixed. I'm hoping it fixes my XMP problem where the system halts randomly. Time will tell.
Enjoy!
