Hi experts! I've always downloaded drivers directly from AMD/Intel/Nvidia instead of from ASUS etc, but today while updating I noticed that while AMD.com have chipset driver 5.08.02.027, ASUS have 5.11.02.217 and it is like a month old. What's up with that? It is the same driver from AMD, no?

Long term update on this: The G.Skill still run rock solid in EXPO II.

Last update (hopefully): The new RAM fixed it. Seems it needs the higher voltage (1,35v) that EXPO sets because default settings doesn't work at all. However I have no need for the 4800mhz when 6000 is stable... so... problem solved. Motherboard work just fine. No errors in Prime95, Memtest86...

Currently testing. In auto mode the g.skill failed test 8 instantly. I'm now trying EXPO as a Reddit thread said that could fix it (someone who also had bad experience with Kingston and then tried g.skill). So far no errors EXPO 2@6000.

I just got an update on the RAM: Money fully repaid. Now to figure out what to buy instead that is priced similarly. I admit I know little of RAM but thought I did my homework. I specifically bought the RAM I did to be sure it was using Hynix modules but now I have no idea what to buy instead...

No update on the second RAM sticks yet (edit: I forgot one update, they said they didn't think it was the RAM if it happened again but I was welcome to send it back, which I did). I tried with both one and two sticks first time around, A2 B2. Board doesn't boot at all in A1 B1 but according to...

Kingston Fury 5600 Expo c36 2 * 16 GB. Unless the motherboard is bad it shouldn't have a problem with the RAM as they are on the QVL should it? But we'll see what the seller says.

A local seller (I'm not in the US). I wrote back and said the problem was still there. Now waiting for reply. I can't believe I still don't have a working system after a month of frustration.

If not an expert I'd recommend watching Bullzoids videos on YouTube. Lots of reviews online but he instead goes through the manufacturer lineups and talk about the PCB layout and features. You get much better insight into what you are looking at than normal reviews alone in my opinion. Here's...

To clarify: That's the new RAM, just tested. Games and apps also crash. I'm gonna throw with something soon....

Another update. The RAM was found faulty by the seller and I got new sealed package of RAM:

I'm using a noctura nh-d14 (edit: but it is upright through all this testing). I do have access to a powerful professional magnifier in our workshop and the pins are as new.

As it is I can't even use the system. It crashed often in games and corrupted Windows twice in the little time I did try. I'm already looking at a new board just trying to decide which....but better start a new thread about this (if there aren't already one) and keep this about the issues with...

Gamers Nexus did pressure tests with these. I think it is in this YT video but can't watch it atm to check.

I picked the RAM after doing a bit of research. Bullzoid did some YT videos looking at RAM and which where using what brand of modules. The Kingstons are SK Hynix. We'll se what the test show.
