Intel’s DDR5 problem resolved! DDR5 64GB Boot Loop failure Fix. Get the rated speeds of your RAM!

welcome back to the channel everybody so there is an issue that i want to talk about today that a lot of people have identified but not really provided a good fix for that is the four sticks of ddr5 xmp profile failure to boot if you already know what i'm talking about feel free to skip ahead to the end of the video where i will walk you through the settings to get your 64 gigabytes of ram working properly for those of you that have no idea what i'm talking about here is a quick version now intel's alder lake cpu unlocks the use of ddr5 which brings with it much faster speeds intel only officially supports up to 4 800 mega transfers per second and for the purposes of this video to reflect what is shown in bios i am going to be using megahertz instead so 4 800 megahertz anything above that is technically an overclock even though the ram manufacturer claims higher speeds it's like bugatti claiming the veyron can do 257 miles per hour but the speed limit is set to 75 miles per hour now think of xmp as an abandoned runway with a speed limit of 257 miles per hour allowing your veyron to hit its advertised speeds xmp takes your rams rated speeds and timings and applies it into your bios and you are off this works fine and dandy for two sticks of ddr5 up to any speed now i recently took two sticks of team group t-force delta 6400 megahertz ram all the way up to 667 and was able to tighten up the timings now you can watch that video up here whenever it releases might not be released yet but whenever it does it'll be up here so what's the issue then well the problem shows itself when you add two more sticks of ddr5 especially two more sticks of identical but unmatched ddr5 now i've got four unmatched sets here two 2 by 16 corsair dominators rated at 5600 megahertz and the same size and speed for the trident z5s here so let's clear the cmos load these sticks in and try to replicate the problem that we're having and then get to the solution [Music] all right everything's cleared they're installed so let's go ahead and turn it on and see what we get right away here now there hasn't been an issue with this portion of it this should start up just fine it's what we get from this startup that's the problem and what we do after that with xmp that actually is the issue what it looks like there it goes okay so there's our video and i turn my monitor on okay so now we get the error here that says you know we have a different memory configuration go ahead and head into the bios and set it up let's do that and let's see what it's running at okay so it loads up fine and you can see here that it's running at 3 600 megahertz well that's garbage so let's apply xmp and get what we paid for right no doing so is going to cause a boot loop that ends up back into bios just like this with the memory configuration error booting into safe mode well not windows safe mode but the bios safe mode or it'll get stuck trying to train the memory and it'll just stay with that kind of amber light there and it won't do anything it won't loop at all now this exact same thing happens with these trident z5s as well now i know that there are some of you out there watching this begging me to get to the solution so let's get to it alright so before i show you all the settings to get everything to work as advertised i want to give a quick shout out to store 974 here in doha for providing me with all of this very very expensive ram this video would not be possible without their support so i would like to give them a quick shout out and say if you guys want any gaming gear or any computer components that's the place to go in doha now if you do go there you go to the website walk into the store or download the app if you do purchase something there you can use my code which is bartman's bits it gives you three percent off and three percent of your purchase also comes to helping grow this channel now onto those settings now once you're back into the bios you will want to head to in this case i'm going to be using the asus board and this is not um this is the rog strix board so it's kind of their mid tier i guess so some of the settings might be different if you're using something like msi or gigabyte hopefully you can navigate through your bios and find the same settings and change them as i do here so for the ai overclock tuner we're going to set xmp one now right away you can see that xmp shows up and you can see it says ddr5 5600 36 36 36 76 at 1.25 volts that's great that is what this memory is rated for the timings the speed the voltage everything but this will not work and at this point if you were to exit save and exit you would end up in that loop so avoid it don't do that we're going to change some more settings first before you reboot so let's head down to we don't have to worry about anything else here no timings or anything we're just going to leave it with the xmp profile because that's what we're after what we are going to do is change the dram vdd voltage from 1.25 or whatever your xmp profile for your ram is it might be 1.2 might be 1.25 we're going to change it to 1.3 and then change vdd q voltage to 1.3 as well now normally you'd be adding voltage here to overclock above your rated speeds but here we're adding just a touch for stability now this next setting was the key to getting this to work head to the advanced memory voltages page here and you can see it says pmic voltages and right now xmp has set that to sync all pmics now we don't want that we don't want them all synced together and i think that's part of the reason for it failing so we're going to set this to buy per pmic and what that'll do is let the motherboard kind of or the memory controller dictate what voltages it should be sending to each individual stick now it's all going to stay at 1.3 for the vdd and vddq and that's fine we want all those to be at 1.3 but for everything else it's going to be able to adjust adjust them individually and you may think there's going to be a whole bunch more but that's it all we're going to do now is save changes and reset when that comes up you're going to see a lot of stuff has changed but you didn't actually change anything that's because you set the xmp profile leave all that as is hit okay and cross those fingers so it's probably going to go through this uh yeah there you go it already went through once went right to the amber light and then back and now it's going to do its training here now i have had this go for quite a while before it actually works you have to remember that it is checking four sticks of ram it goes a lot faster if you're only using two did it restart i can't quite see over there there you go straight in now to verify this i am going to go all the way into the os and we're going to check it to make sure that it reflects in something like uh cpu-z or you can look in the system info and see what it says on there now i have had on occasion that stick in not a boot loop but it does just sit there trying to train the memory and it's like it gets stuck so what you have to do there is power down remove the ram let it sit outside it's like it gets rid of its own memory then put it back in power back on and more than likely it's gonna go straight through on that attempt but more often than not it did come up on the first try for me so after booting we're gonna check to make sure that your speeds are accurate in something like cpu-z and then run a memory benchmark like uh ida 64 or mem test 86 and ddr5 64 gigabytes quad channel 2800 for the frequency so double so 5600 and for our clocks we have 36 36 36 76 which is what it is rated for now once you have verified this run your benchmarks and then load up your usual game or software to make sure you don't have any crashes if you do experience crashes then you might want to try a lower frequency or slightly and i mean slightly raising up that dram voltage the vdd and vddq too much voltage can cause damage so don't go too far with that now hopefully this gets you up and running until a bios update fixes this issue now what i'll do real quick just so you can see that this actually works for both of these sets of ram is i'm going to power down leave everything as is so i'm not going to clear anything pull these sticks out put in the trident z5s and see if it boots straight into the os now these are the only two sets that i've tested this on i haven't done anything with different speeds any higher speeds so for you guys out there that do have higher than 5600 megahertz ram sticks definitely try this out and see if it works let me know in the comments if it doesn't then i might have to get my hands on four sticks of that um the t-force delta which is 6400 megahertz i might try that see how that one works there you go so without changing anything nothing in the bios that xmp profile worked for the trident z5s as well [Music] and looks like ddr5 64 gigabytes quad channel 2800 megahertz for the speed so 5600 at 36 36 36 76 just like i had it set up for the dominators that's gonna do it for this video and i really hope that this got you up and running i think it's worse than spending all of that money to get four sticks of ram 64 gigabytes of ram and then only using half of it so i hope this helps out now if it didn't work for you let me know in the comments if you can find a solution thanks guys for watching subscribe if you haven't and i'll see in the next one [Music]
