Trident Z 4266MHz - how to run?

Meloman
Level 7
Hello everyone,
My hardware:
- Asus ROG Maximus X Hero (bios v. 1003)
- F4-4266C19D-16GTZA (2x8 GB) - in A2 and B2 slots.
I cannot boot up my system (Win 10 Pro 64) when I set DRAM in XMP mode, so please help, how to run manually?
Which specific BIOS settings should be changed?
DRAM specification:
tCL - 19, tRCD - 19, tRP - 19, tRAS - 39, command rate - 1 (?).

You wont be able to achieve DDR4-4266 on this board. Better to aim for something between DDR4-3600 to DDR4-3866. Speeds over DDR4-4000 with two-DIMM kits are best suited to the Maximus X Apex. Even then, its better not to run over DDR4-4200, because you have to sacrifice performance.

True DAT! 😄

Don't these ROGers know the next step up from 3200/14 is the two brand new GSkill kits at 4500/19 and 4600/19?

And they both are not even ready for prime time yet. Even on the Apex 10. Raja is correct.

GO with 3200/14, save some money and tweak it to 4000MHz/13latency if you want to have some real fun, and are willing to put in the time. 😄

Hmmm.... Raja@ASUS

Why are these memory settings there when the motherboard can not support them? :confused:

Request for YOUR comments please :rolleyes:

If you don't want to hear from any other ROGers experiences with high speed memory and the Z370 series boards, then just PM Raja Direct.

That's the easiest way. :confused:

Stop!, you misunderstood me.
Of course I want to listen all opinions but Raja answer would be important wil he is directly from Asus.

I sowwy. 😮

Thanks everyone, but I've tried early to set up DRAM frequency on 4133 MHz in BIOS - without good result.
My question to settings BIOS:
- XMP in BIOS - on or off?
- DRAM Frequency - set to 4113 MHz or lower.
- DRAM VOLTAGE - set to 1,40V?
- command rate set up to 1T or 2T or auto?
What else? How set up tCL (19), tRCD (19), tRP (19) and tRAS (39) in BIOS?
Can I use MemOK! button to solve my problem?

The ratios are simply part of the platform. Doesn't mean all of them have to work in every config. The question is odd. It's akin to assuming a CPU can do an unconditionally stable 8GHz just because a given ratio or BCLK range is available.

This is my second PC aktuell with Hero X Board without VRM sensor 😞 but very good 8700K oc chip and high Memory Speed (overclocked with Adaptive Vcore and full stable),
My next OC Step is 4266MHz Memory Speed
