Hello everyone,
I decided to buy a B-Die memory: F4-4000C16D-32GTRSA - G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4000 CL16-16-16-36 1.40V 32GB (2x16GB) for my Z790 system. Unfortunately I cannot get it to run on the specified speed.
Some background - My CPU is i5 13600k (now at stock), my motherboard is Aorus Z790 Elite DDR4 (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AORUS-ELITE-DDR4-rev-10).
Before the memory upgrade, I ran a very similar kit: F4-4000C18D-32GTZN Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 CL18-22-22-42 1.40V 32GB (2x16GB). This kit is 24/7 stable, XMP runs perfectly fine right out of the box. This is a Hynix kit.
What happens with the new B-Die kit: when I enable XMP, it resets, takes a few bootless minutes, then shuts down, posts, and supposedly enables the XMP on the BIOS side. However monitoring software (such as HWInfo or CPU-Z) will show the default RAM speed (not XMP).
I always heard crazy things about how good B-Die is in terms of overclocking, and I have a reasonably OK motherboard on the fastest platform that will ever support DDR4, but I can't even get it to XMP-Stable.
I am using the exact same slots on the motherboard that I used with the old kit: #2 and #4 on the motherboard. I tried loading safe settings and re-enabling XMP a few times, no luck. When I try to manually set the speed to 4000MHz I get instant BSOD in Windows.
For now I went back to my old kit, and no surprise, everything works. That's really a bummer because the Royal kit looks so much better than the regular one. Can I get some suggestions on how to get this kit to work?
Here are the kits in question: Top is the old TridentZ Neo, Bottom is the new TridentZ Royal.
Thanks!
