Can’t boot with new ram

[Quartz]

I have an aorus z690 xtreme board with a 12900k. I recently bought 2 kits of gskill trident z5 2x32gb 6400mhz cl32 ram and I can’t get it to boot on anything higher than 4800mhz (which I know is what intel says is the max 12th gen supports) I’m planning on upgrading cpu but for now at least I would like to be able to get closer. I’ve looked a load of stuff online and it’s kind of beyond me but I would appreciate any assistance.

I think Level1Techs did a video a while back about using large amounts of RAM.

i was going to say have a look at the 96gb kits but they seem to be amd optimised, which could lead to problems on intel, you'd have to manually input all the timings and voltages as xmp wouldn't work right.

its a double edge sword capacity and how many dimms directly affect what you can use on mainstream kit, when you go above 64gb either in dual or quad channel arrangments, it can be tricky to get working or run at decent speeds, you could have a look at the newer 96gb kits but again you may find it difficult to get working and be fully stable.

Yeah I guess for now I'll just run at whatever is stable and then reassess once I have 14th gen.

Oh nice, I'll have a look later.

They did one on AM5, don't know if that's the one Quartz refers to, but the conclusion was: "oops, AMD no like".

Is 128GB of DDR5 IMPOSSIBLE on AM5? Level1 Investigates!

MSI claim their boards can do this with 192GB:
13900K + Z790 Carbon + 192GB = 5200
12900KF + Z690 Carbon + 192GB = 4800

That's the one. I think, though, the real conclusion was to use a platform that supports large amounts of RAM like Threadripper, Epyc, and Xeon.

14th gen now listed on OCUK, 14900k has this listed in the specs
- Up to 192GB DDR5-5600 memory

Gibbo also said its basically just 13th gen with much better memory support

I'm not seeing any DDR5 kits of more than 64 GB listed at any speed on OCUK's website. There's a 128 GB kit, but that's a mislisting because it's DDR4.

I heard retailers don't like selling them above 5600 / 64GB

It seemed Z690 cant supported 6000MHz or higher RAM. The best your motherboard can do is 5600MHz accorded to GSkill RAM configurator.

RAM Configurator - G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Find compatible memory kits for your motherboard. Just select the motherboard from the dropdown list and click on Search for a list of compatible G.SKILL memory kits.

www.gskill.com

Try set your RAMs to XMP 5600 CL30-36-36-89 1.25V or XMP 5600 CL36-36-36-89 1.25V.

You will need to upgrade motherboard to Aorus Z790 Xtreme, it will boot your RAM kits to run at 6400MHz CL32 1.40V.

That’s because Intels ability to run high speed and high capacity RAM is poor.

You can spend £1000 on a top of the range motherboard that claims to do RAM speeds of over 8000 MT/s and your CPU could just not be up for the task.

Intel doesn’t care because officially they only support JDEC speeds and anything more is overclocking (even if they advertise high RAM speeds heavily in their talking points during launches).

For the best memory support, you’ll need a Z790 motherboard with only 2 DIMM slots (not 4), a good 13th gen or 14th gen CPU and some very good quality memory.

Or just get an AMD rig and run 6000 CL30 since their memory controllers are stronger but they recommend max RAM speed of 6000 due to the infinity fabric.

Not just Intel but AMD too.

Not available on OCUK at more than 64 GB.
