Question Gigabyte X870E Aorus Master only shows default RAM frequencies of 3600MHz ?

[Bizcoo]

Hello everyone on the forum, I'm new here, I hope you're all well!.

With the entire BIOS set to default, the frequencies displayed are 3600MHz, not the standard, which should be at least 4800MHz, since the memory is 6000MHz.
I tried enabling the XMP profile and the clock speeds went up to 6000MHz, but after the reboot, the system won't boot up anymore. I assume this is normal since the memory is Quad Channel DDR5.

On my previous configuration: Intel i9 13900k and Aero G motherboard, my RAM frequencies were at a completely stable 5600MHz. But I don't know what's going on here. Could it be a BIOS firmware issue? I currently have F5b.

Here are the full specifications of my hardware:

• AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• Gigabyte Aorus Master X870E
• Gigabyte Aorus Master RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7
• 64GB G.Skill Trident Z 5 RGB DDR5 6000mhz
• Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce X 360 ARGB
• Gigabyte 1000w ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0
• 2TB Corsair MP600 Core XT
• Gigabyte Aorus RGB NVMe SSD 512GB
• 500GB Samsung 860 EVO
• 512GB Adata XPG Spectrix S40G

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Do you see the same issue when working off of 2 sticks of ram, populating slots A2 and B2 on the motherboard?

I'm assuming you're recycling your ram kit from your prior Intel build, if so, can you pass on a link to said ram kit? On the topic of recycling, did you carry over your older OS drive without reinstalling the OS?

If you flashed the BIOS recently to get to F5b, did you clear the CMOS after verifying your BIOS was successfully flashed?

Hello, thanks for your reply.

I didn't test with just two modules, as I assumed it wouldn't be a determining factor in why the memory outputs were so low in stock mode.

I did a complete reinstall of the operating system. I didn't transfer any data; in fact, all the drives were formatted.

I'm not really clear on your question about the kit you mentioned.
Here is my memory kit:

If you recently updated your BIOS to F5b, did you clear the CMOS after verifying that your BIOS was updated correctly?

Yes, in fact, when I enabled XMP to get to 6000 and saw that the system wouldn't boot, I used the Clear CMOS button on the motherboard to return everything to default settings.

Did you cut power at PSU too ? It will not reset without that ?

Yes, of course, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to regain access.
Clear CMOS was done successfully, all BIOS values are default.

Using 4 ramsticks is not that easy. Have you checked if the mem is on the QVL list of the motherboard?

Hi, I understand that quad channel is a problem for OC/XMP. However, the problem is that it doesn't even boot at the stock memory base frequencies of 4800MHz. It boots at 3600MHz if the memory doesn't come with that base frequency.

And if the memory is supported on the motherboard.
