What does QLV mean?

 

A misspelling of QVL, the qualified vendors list. It's basically the list of all memory kits the motherboard vendor has tried on that board and said "this works." 

 

I have my problems with it, it's no where near as useful as people make it out to be (there are plenty of kits not on the QVL that will work just fine, and there are plenty of kits on the QVL that will have issues running at XMP/EXPO), but it can be a decent first step. That kit has the ASUS board QVLed from G.Skill though, so that's not likely to be the issue. 

 

 

This is almost certainly a BIOS issue, there was a set of ASUS BIOSes that were released that as far as I can tell with some CPUs had the 6000 memory ratio broken. This should be fixed on the latest update though, so update your BIOS and it should hopefully just work.

Good day.

 

I recently upgraded my PC with the following parts:

ASUS PRIME X670-P WIFI

G.Skill F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR Trident Z5 NEO RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000MHz CL30 1.35V AMD EXPO Black Desktop Memory

Ryzen 7 7800X3D

 

The issue I am facing is that whenever I try to enable the AMD EXPO Memory OC Profile. If I do enable this my PC can boot into windows 10 but then it would just randomly crash and then it requires some effort to get it to boot back into the BIOS. If I disable the RAM overclock my PC runs fine. Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens? I cannot find a real reason why I am facing this issue. Did I buy incompatible RAM for my CPU?

Is your RAM on the QLV of the motherboard?

 

Are you running the latest available bios?

I will check the BIOS version and update it if it's not the newest version.

 

What does QLV mean?

 

Thank you

I have updated the BIOS. There was a new version that released 4 days ago that seems to fixed the problem for now. 

 

Thank you for the response and help. I appreciate it.

 

Regards
