[SOLVED] Ram compatibility issues ?

[blackamore]

I have xpg spectrix ram 3000mhz, installed on x370 crosshair vi + ryzen 5 2600 + Rtx 2060. No display on monitor ... (QLED shows yellow)
It turns out my mobo compatible with 2400/2666/2933/3200/3600 mhz
BUT not 3000mhz...
Can't get into bios though.
Does this mean I have to get a spare ram let say 2400mhz (or as listed) and get into Bios so I can change the dram freq to 3000mhz ?
Just to make xpg spectrix 3000mhz work...

What does you motherboard say about a yellow light?

As in manual, it stands for DRAM issue.

Have you tried reseating your RAM or trying the other channel? Your RAM won't run at 3000MHz until you set it in BIOS via XMP, until then it is 2133MHz RAM.

Yes, tried on other channel as well and carefully slotted it in with two clicks.
I did further research regarding ram compatibility on this mobo (still in default factory bios).
The ram I bought isn't in the QVE list.
Xpg Spectrix d41 ddr4 is pretty new for a mobo that released 2017. Could this be the problem ?

I guess X370 (stock) requires 1st gen Ryzen in order to flash bios update...

That it does and would make far more sense as to why your system isn't working than RAM.
