Apologies for the delay, I was able to check my ram settings today. I noticed that by default the XMP profile I was using before actually did have the memory set to 1.45v but I still tried re-enabling and manually setting the DDRM voltage to 1.45V. Unfortunately the previous problem occurred...

I have not had the chance to fiddle with my PC yet, sorry. I've been needing it for work. I will probably try the memory voltage setting tomorrow and see if my PC boots up with XMP mode enabled.

Yes, the OS is on one SSD, the other SSD is mostly games, and the HDD is for file storage. The problem seems diminished somewhat after the BIOS update. I'm not sure what memory timings you mean, though. I'm a little uncomfortable messing with the manual BIOS memory timings.

I have not but my memory is explicitly not supported on this motherboard according to the manufacturer which is why I think I had that issue with it.

Rcald, I probably will just replace everything eventually. Really I'm just trying it put it off. It's a little tricky to tell at this point but I think it is improved somewhat. I still get the hitches but they might be less severe and frequent. I was able to play VR all night without issues...

I have updated my BIOS to the latest version, 1302 with the date 2018/04/17. Unfortunately I am still noticing the issue. I have updated my CPU and GPU drivers to latest as well as all the other drivers that were Intel-related in the windows driver updater utility you also linked above. Is there...

My BIOS version reads as "American Megatrends Inc. 0505, 11/8/2016". There is a later driver dated from 2017. I checked the windows update page and it had several Intel drivers related to the chipset. I've installed all of them and will see if that helped.

The manufacturer's website does not list this RAM as XMP compatible with my chipset and motherboard specifically. With XMP mode enabled, my pc fails to boot. I had to swap it out for older RAM to access the BIOS and disable the setting.

The RAM I have right now is G.Skill TridendZ DDR4, model code is F4-3600C14D-32GTZRA. How likely do you think the lack of XMP mode is to blame for my issues? If it fixes my problem it's worth new RAM imo. I haven't flashed the BIOS yes. The only available update is from 2017 and I thought it was...

I upgraded initially only because my existing GPU failed. I was perfectly happy with my 2080ti and would've just kept using it indefinitely. Admittedly I didn't spend a ton of time doing research as I just needed something and figured I'd get something that would future proof me. I knew it would...

I ran the chipset utility there for my chipset. Unfortunately it turns out my RAM does not support XMP mode with this current chipset and mobo model, so I will need to replace it to be able to enable XMP mode. I can order new RAM but it will take some time.

It is running a PCIe.x16 4.0 @ x16 3.0 according to GPU-Z. The graphics card reports that it supports a 4.0 and is running in a 3.0. I believe there is an update for my BIOS, yes. I could try to update it.

It is possible it has a defect, of course, I just wanted to try to eliminate more obvious things before returning it. What should I be looking for in GPU-Z? I will install it and run it while playing games.

From what I can tell the 4080 super should work in a 3.0 x16 slot. No one has posted elsewhere that they are incompatible from my searching, nor have any of the people I've asked advised as much. My memory is probably not in XMP mode as I never enabled it or had heard of it before.

I've reinstalled the latest drivers using DDU twice and through the geforce experience once. I have an ASUS z270-A motherboard. I have not checked the GPU with GPU-Z, though I've used other software to attempt to diagnose issues with mixed success. I am aware the motherboard is pretty old and...
