Question about XMP not working properly

Go to solution Solved by EpicEric,

Good news, issue fixed.
I updated the BIOS version from f2 (March 15th 2020) to f20d (March 11th 2021) and it boots with XMP. I have not fully tested it yet, though.

Posted

Here are my specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8cZ3dD

 

 

i7 10700K, Gigabyte Aorus Z490 Elite AC (BIOS version F2), 4x8gb Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3200 (running at 2666mhz)

 

I have never been able to enable XMP. Every time I try to boot with it enabled, the PC goes to the BIOS and disables XMP.

Since I was already considering updating my BIOS for resizable BAR support, I was wondering if a BIOS update could also fix the XMP issue.

The fact that XMP doesn't work doesn't bother me at all. I am only seeing if I can get two birds with one stone. Thanks.

It should.

Even intel seees a upgrade from 2666 to 3200.

 

try to manually change the voltage to a bit higher (like .05v-.1v) and see if it works.

I could use some help with this!

Thanks. Before that, I will try it with the updated BIOS, even though I don't think it will do anything different.

Are you on F2 or F20d?

On the Gigabyte site, it only shows F4 as the oldest available for download.

If you DO indeed have BIOS ver. F2, considering flashing it to a later version first ... i.e. F4 or F6c, or even the latest F20d.

F2 sounds like an initial release version they flash at the factory.

HWiNFO reports it as F2, released on March 25th, 2020. I think you're right.

I've had a similar problem few weeks ago. Enable XMP » boot loop and half memory hardware allocated. I increased the RAM voltage, not by much, problem solved.
