New RAM day help. Motherboard issues.

robert priestley · 3 Apr 2020 at 08:44

Hello everyone, i hope you can help me out as im stuck.

My set up:
Gigabyte ga-ab350-gaming 3 (motherboard)
Evga 1070ti
Ryzen 3600x
Evga 1000gq psu

Old ram corsair 3000mhz vengeance 2x8gb (works and boots)

New ram hyper x fury rgb 2x16gb (won't boot)

Ok so when i install the new ram, i can not get my system to not at all, i have tried both sticks individually and they work fine, but together no. I have reset the bios and still nothing, whilst i had the old sticks in changed the xmp setting to on along with changing the frequency to 3200mhz then replacing the sticks, still nothing.

Where am i going wrong?

Cheers for any help!

When you tested them individually did you put them in the same slot or did you test in different slots?

EsaT · 3 Apr 2020 at 09:26

Did you make sure memory voltage was correct?
Likely nearly all 16GB DIMMs are dual ranks with more chips than single rank 8GB DIMMs, which certainly makes voltage more critical.

Though with that board being for first gen Ryzen, it could be that BIOS hasn't been optimized

Ive tested all slots.

About the voltage that might make sense. Sorry im not great at this.

In voltage i did ensure to select 1.35v in the bios. Then put the new sticks in but still nothing. For a larnotes,here's on the mobo there's a large red LED strip that lights up. When i use 1 dick of the new ram, or both the old this lights up and then boots. When i try both new sticks, it flashes white Almost and then starts off, no boot. Could this mean anything?

Also bios updated to f40. I had to update it to this for ryzen 3 compatibility.

EsaT · 3 Apr 2020 at 14:57

Could nudge voltage slightly up like to 1,36V or 1,37V.
Those are perfectly safe for any DDR4 chips.

SOC voltage would be another thing.
Could boot to Windows using one DIMM and check used chips with Taiphoon Burner and then use Ryzen DRAM calculator for some rough values.

Try upping the soc voltage to 1.15

robert priestley · 3 Apr 2020 at 15:54

@EsaT thats a little over my head sorry

@Joxeon ok, how should i do this? with just going into the bio when i have 1 stick of the new ram installed... save,, switch off and install the second stick and try?

Yah, if it only boots with 1 stick even without xmp enabled then you will have to make the changes with just a single then as you say save and then add the 2nd stick and see if it boots.

I would say it is a problem that hopefully can be remedied with some voltage adjustment since your 2x8 works fine.

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 08:35

Ok going to give this a try today.

Should i endeavour to keep xmp on then?

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 08:39

So under voltage settings there's three options.

Dynamic Vcore(DVID) - AUTO
Dynamic VCORE SOC (DVID) - auto
DRAM Voltage (CH A/B) - auto. 1.200V

Is it that soc voltage i should change?

Yea.

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 08:43

So i can change the line DRAM Voltage (CH A/B) from auto to 1.15 but the vcore soc only goes up to +0.300v

I presume you mean change the dram voltage (ch a/b) line?

Ok it looks like the vcore SOC is an offset voltage.

When you go into PC health status in the bios what does it say SOC is set too?

For instance if it says VCORE SOC 1.1 and you want 1.15 then you would change the dynamic vcore SOC to + 0.050.

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 09:21

Ill type all that it says

Cpu vcore - 1.5v (changing constantly)
Cpu VDDP - around 0.912
DRAM channel a/b voltage - 1.236 (static)
+3.3v - 3.363v (static)
+5v - 5.070 (static)
+12v - 12.384 (static)
VCORE SOC - 1.040 (changing to minor quantities)

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 09:22

So i need to change the dynAmic vcore soc to +0.110?

And leave the dram voltage to auto?

Joxeon · 4 Apr 2020 at 09:25

First try 1.1 so 0.060, if this doesn't work then try the 1.15 which is 0.110 as you correctly said.

Ok moment of truth. Just going to restart, switch off add ram and see

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 09:35

Alas no luck im afraid. No boot. The strip on the motherboard didn't light. Ill try upping it again

robert priestley · 4 Apr 2020 at 09:39

Weirdly enough also. Every time i restart and enter bios i get three message 'BIOS has been reset. Please re-config your BIOS setup items if needed'

I think the bios is ressetting every time? As i keep selecting 'fast boot' however... No fast boots to be had, even with other ram lol
