Asus dark hero startup issue ?

[STARRAIN@ROG]

Hi Xairoo,
May I double confirm it occurred on 3601 and 3801?
Is [Turn on fast startup (recommended)] not ticked in additional power settings?
May I have the specific model name of the ram such as G.SKILL F4-4400C19D-16GTZSW? Is it in our qvl list?

Thank you.

Hi WorldofShadows,

Did you use ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero with ROG Strix 2070S OC without any issue, and not turning on issue occurred after you use 3080TI?
Could you please try other power supply and then see if the issue occurs again?
Thank you.

Happened to 3601 and 3801 (updated to 3801 because of this problem).

Fast startup @ Windows is currently turned off (did that before I enabled ErP). Will turn it on in Windows (have to enable hibernate `powercfg -h on` again to set this option).
Also disabled @ BIOS - should I enable it @ BIOS too?

Very very common RAM (placed on rank 4 at Switzerlands biggest online shop, rank 4 at amazon.de and rank 11 at amazon.com): Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 16GB, DDR4-3200, CMK32GX4M2E3200C16
4 modules in total. But it's not on the list.
No XMP (or how Asus calls this @ BIOS) profile set.

comon on for Intel. It's loot box ram and one of the worst for Ryzen period.

If it's not QVL list anywhere why are using it, was it cheap ?

Never heard that. Do you have a trusted reference for that?

QVL didn't list all possible working RAM kits. There are so many.

But please feel free to share a trusted reference.

Hey Starrain,

yes, for about 2 weeks i used the 2070S OC with the Dark Hero without any issues After the upgrade the 3080TI worked for about 1.5 weeks without any issues, too.
The 2070S worked for about 2 years with the prior mentioned ROG Strix x570-F and the old PSU.

I bought the Corsair 850W PSU together with the Dark Hero to rule out any issues i had with my old Setup and for the upgrade to the 3080TI.
According to the sensor readings (12V, 5V, 3,3V) everything on the PSU side is more than stable and ok. All other sensors including the temps are low to normal, even under heavy load.
CPU is cooled by a Noctua NH-D15, Case is cooled by 3x200mm and 1x180mm case fans with a correct calculated airflow.

Sadly i can't try the old power supply (Be Quiet Power Zone 650W), as it isn't powerful enough to fire up the system together with the 3080TI and i don't have any other PSUs around, as they're very expensive and hard to get here in germany atm.

As Xairoo mentioned i change the BIOS Setting "ErP" from "Disabled" to "S5" and after that i could boot after 6hrs off-time this morning.

There are three QVL lists for ram and heap approved on them, not sure why you can't purchase right ram in right quantity for your motherboard that passed QVL.

Good luck, but I'm not wasting any time on this request. I own enough Ryzen CPU's from gen 1 to current to be happy with my statement about LPX. You do what you want with that but my systems all work @ DOCP or higher.

at best you might get 2x16 working @ DOCP, 4x16 never going to happen unless you won loot box lottery in which case give over the version number of the LPX ram, nah scatch that it wont be any use.

Not sure why you believe I bought that RAM for this board. But okay ;-)

I am running a nearly full server rack with 19" servers with a mix of EPYC's and Xeon's and ton's of RAM and many Tesla GPUs (running some AI/transcoding stuff). Never had any problems because of the RAM. Also never with XMP and DOCP. And the funny thing is: We use only LPX RAM in our workstations without any problems. But yeah, you must know ;-)

A little update from my side.

It seems that your tip @Xairoo is kinda working here.
As posted above i switched the ErP to S5 (bc i only shutdown the system, never hibernate it, so S4 is not interesting on my side) and the PC started after 9 hrs off-time without any problem. I shut it down again and after 1 hr it started again like it should to.

As far as i know ErP cuts the max off-power to 1W and cuts off USB-Charging, WoL, WoK, WoM, so _maybe_ the Dark Hero somehow doesn't power down correctly, but has to with the ErP activated. Pure speculation, but maybe this helps to resolve this.
