Hello,
I've been messing around with this rig for over a year now and I've finally decided to ask for the help.
I'm running 4 x 8GB sticks of DDR4 Corsair CMW16GX4M2D3600C18 2 of which are ver1.35 and the other 2 are ver4.something? (I don't know if that matters or not)
These are placed into the ROG Maximus XI Hero (wi-fi) motherboard securely.
When there are 2 sticks in place I can run the XMP profile just fine. Using their 3600mhz limit.
When I add 3 you can assume what happens, the XMP profile runs but it's... weird. It's telling me it's running at 2133mhz but I expected those results with 3 out of the 4 slots used.
However as soon as I add this final stick. The XMP profile fails post, it can't even reach 3000mhz.
I've noticed these sticks do not appear on the mobo QVL list. I do understand that this list isn't necessarily the be all and end all. (But it might be?)
I did go in search of sticks that were on the list but I found it extremely frustrating as I spent around 30 minutes not finding a single parts list match.
I purchased the upgrade to expand my limits upon rendering files from After Effect etc, my streaming experience and an overall speed boost.
This is also a new-ish hobby for me and I'm learning a lot each day.
I'm more intrigued in what the issue is rather than actually solving it and worrying that I've wasted my money, I've done plenty of that already! 😆
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I love having my horizons expanded!
