[SOLVED] DRAM frequency resets to default every after cold boot

[mcad]

Hi, I have a 2x8 RGB Trident Z, 3000 mhz and the problem I have is even though I've already configured my DRAM in BIOS to use the XMP profile, it still goes back to the default frequency (2133 mhz) every time I cold boot my PC.

So I always had to restart my computer and go to BIOS but weirdly enough, I always see that the XMP profile is already being used, so I hit F10 without changing anything and after that it works. It's just annoying to always restart my PC every after a cold boot just to change my DRAM's frequency.

Is there some setting in the BIOS that will make it always use XMP after cold boot? or am I just doing something wrong?

My board is an X570 AORUS Ultra if that helps

How fresh is your cmos battery? Is the memory settings the only thing not being retained?

Do you have the latest BIOS? Try a hard reset by removing power and battery, then try again.

Try a lower DRAM Frequency to see if it has the same issue.

The cmos battery is what keeps your settings through a complete power off. Possibly the battery needs replacing.

As a suggestion, instead of powering off, use sleep to ram(no hibernate) instead.
The pc and monitor will enter a very low power state almost like power off.
wake/sleep becomes only a matter of a few seconds.

I just bought my pc around October 2019, haven't changed the cmos battery since then

and yeah I think it's only the memory settings, though it's the only thing I change in the BIOS

I don't have the latest bios. I'll try updating to the latest.

thanks

cmos battery huh, I guess I should replace it if the other fixes won't work. For now I'll try updating the BIOS.

thanks

I updated my bios to the latest, and it seems like it worked! :O

I just booted my PC from cold boot and my DRAM doesn't reset to default anymore.

Thanks a bunch to those who helped
