Is there a rog board... (mixing memory)

[bimbo]

Hi Guys.
I have the folowing hardware, but since i built it about a month or so ago. I get nothing but freezes or black screen and sometimes switch offs.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Gaming Case - Black USB 3.0

ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming Motherboard - Black

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Processor - YD170XBCAEWOF

ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 - 160 Watts Twin-Tower Heatsink CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD - 120mm PWM Fan - 4 Double-Sided Heatpipes - Easy Installation

Corsair CP-9020070-UK Professional Platinum Series 1200 W ATX/EPS Fully Modular Power Supply Unit

Corsair 163301 Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black

Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse (8GB GDDR6/PCI Express 4.0/1540MHz - 1750MHz/14000MHz)

I am looking to buy another rog board that i can still use the other hardware with.
I have tried all the fixes that are in one of the threads for the ROG board, but the problem still exists.
Therefore is there another ROG board that does not have the problems.

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
Vinnie.

it seem like you have a troll somewhere in the system, or something not compatible with the rest of the components
i have owned and built many computers throughout the years (both private and for clients), and never experienced a build that would not run as advertised with the default settings without problems (auto/XMP)
the computer i have right now is the only machine that wont run the memory at DOCP rated speed, but other than that.. no issues

is your system crashing if you load setup defaults in bios and run everything on auto?

i have never used 1 gen ryzen, but can most samples run 64GB @3200mhz memory speed?

i assume you system is not overclocked in any way, in bios or with ai suit

because i doubt there is anything wrong with the motherboard

Is that memory a single quad channel kit? What part number. If it's two kits of "same" type I'd wager it's that. separate them by serial no and run one at a time in suggested slots

yes arne is right
but if it is a quad kit you can try :
but is it two dual channel kit you can try: ( just make sure you use the right memory sticks now, and don't mix the kits)
1. power off computer and insert only two of the memory sticks (2x16gb) in the correct dual channel configuration (slots)
2. clear cmos
3. power on computer and go into bios and load setup defaults, save and exit
4. reboot
is the system unstable now?

[I believe this is a memory issue as well. I took a quick look at the Memory QVL for the 470-F with a GEN 1 Ryzen and there are no supported 64GB kits that run at 3200Mhz.

If you want to run AMD ROG board with 4x16GB 3200Mhz or higher memory without any issues,..

The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, and AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processor would be a solid platform.

Yipee!
You guys rock.
Placed a pair of ram 16gb into slots A2, B2 and problem gone. So a huge thanks for that information.

Another Question.
Would i be better off, putting one of my remaing 16gb sticks into A1 or would buying two sticks at 8gb
and putting them into A1, B1.

Any info would be much apreciated.

What you want it to decided what memory you want and buy a single kit to populate as many slots as you have if you want. thing is you want all the same kit. Even buying 4 single sticks of the same part number doe3snt mean they will work together. It a crap shoot. Board is full of posts with the same problem. Buy a single kit of 4 sticks and done.

JigBohnny nailed it there! ))

Breagnok: swapping motherboard and CPU can still lead to problems for the user if he is running a mixed memory kit setup

+1 running mixed memory kit's is always a bad idea, and generally will cause stability issues.

First reading OP's memory description looked like 4x16GB Quad channel kit, but turned out after checking Corsair #163301 being a pair of mix/unmatched 2x16GB kits. "Corsair 163301 Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black"
