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.

They are on the QVL now. Kingston Fury Beast (Hynix modules). The seller has the mentioned G skill too.

The RAM will be testet by the seller. If they find no fault I'll buy a motherboard, test if with the components and if it works keep it and otherwise send it back. Can't see what else I can do. Any happiness for the upgrade is gone which is what annoys me the most.

I already did the BIOS update before the tests. A lemon what? CPU? I'll see what they find when testing the RAM and if nothing is found I'll have them test the CPU.

I see. I hadn't noticed any pattern. Thanks! Just send the RAM back to the shop i purchased from. I hope they test them enough to see the same error though I have my doubts. Any explanation on why it happens in test 8 after the other tests but not in test 8 if done alone?

The first thing I did was buying a new Corsair RM1000x instead of my Seasonic so I'm confident that isn't it.

I'm not really confident in how much or which voltages to change. 1.25. is the default it seems and the one in Expo settings. 1.35 made it boot and pass Memtest86 but it won't reboot and I have to turn off the power to make it start up again at all. I feel like I'm messing about in the dark...

It happend again (haven't bumped voltage yet) but it is always test 8: random number. However it only fails in test 8 if it is after the other tests. Only running test 8 alone and it passes. Huh. Trying more voltage. Edit: This happens with a GPU installed. Now running with extra voltage. Just...

Another small update: I have been running Memtest86 over and over again the last few days and I get a PASS again and again and then suddenly the system freezes. I have also gotten some actual errors but these came after I tried adding additional hardware (an old GPU) and I can't replicate it...

"System Stability Tester" is included. But is that a good test program?

Yes, I had to stop myself arguing with them. But at least it shows they are not the most professional shop in my opinion. "AMD has too many failures" they said. There's no other local shops left so now I'm trying to test with as little hardware as possible and no OS. If I don't get any wiser...

Thanks. Didn't see the update. Trying it now. Does anything good exist to test other hardware like this? I seem to remember all tests I did were in Windows. I'd rather not if possible to exclude other failure points.

Hello, I have some hardware I'd like to throw some tests at and I have not been overclocking for quite some time so I'm out of the loop. I read somewhere that Memtest86 is out when testing DDR5. No idea if that is true? Anyways, any up to date recommendations on software that are bootable (IE...

Update if anyone is interested. Had a local shop look at the board. They didn't think it could cause problems. They are Intel only so no hardware to test it with though.

You think this might be the cause of the instability? Because as stated my money was on it not even being there when I found Prime95 errors and Windows died. As I wrote earlier the memory isn't on the QVL list and if I used EXPO 1 or 2 the system was extremely unstable. The Prime95 errors was...

They just refused it so it's my word against theirs. I've contacted a third party for a price to test the parts instead. That's really kind of you but I'm all the way over in Scandinavia. I will try s local shop sbd hope for the best. At least i learned something..

I don't have the money to buy RAM and CPU to test with (or anyone i can borrow it from), especially not when I'm likely looking at buying a new motherboard. I do have some equipment for working with components safely and a microscope to look for damage but nothing to fix it with (or the skills)...

I'll look at it under microscope but I don't think there's any PCB damage outside what is shown in the pictures (not worth much as documentation otherwise) but for various health reasons I don't really have the energy to do this myself any more. As far as I know there's no way to test which...

Update: Long story short: The problem was bad Ram. Nothing wrong with the motherboard. So apparently after having installed PC components since my early teens around 30 years ago I absolutely ruined the last motherboard i installed (pictures here, here, here and here). I returned it to the...

ROG Strix 5700xt. No crashes or bugs yet. Great card and driver.

I'm following along this thread as I'm in the same boat except I'm on an even older CPU: I7-3770 (non-K). Holding on with the tips of my fingers for the new Ryzens since I also have to buy console(s?) in a few months. My poor wallet!

Thank you everyone (y) Someone mentioned my Sabertooth P67 so I just made a test with it combined with a ROG 5700 XT. I'm not worried by bottlenecks anymore and can tell there is no reason to test other systems for now. But the most important thing is I got a better understanding f how to test...

I'm looking to upgrade both me and my girlfriends displays, but since we got multi-monitor setup (old BenQ GW2670's) they can't be too expensive, so instead of just throwing money at expensive screens and hoping for the best any advice on good-for-gaming displays matching the following without...

Oh, sorry I misread the comparison of 3dmark versions then. I'll go have another look. I haven't provided any hardware info because I wanted to be able to test it myself since it is for more than testing one PC. I was only looking to learn :happy:

EDIT: I just got told that it doesn't support Freesync and since back in 2015 I'm no longer running Nvidia cards. Sorry for wasting your time :dead: So way back in 2015 I was looking at the ASUS ROG Swift PG278QE display but never got around to actually order it. Is it still worth buying or are...
