Question RAM Won't Boot Over 3200Mhz

[Orishek]

Hi,

I have upgraded from my very old RAMs to G.SKILL 32GB KIT DDR4 3600MHz CL14 Trident Z Neo, my MOBO is Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4, they should be compatible at least what I found out.

The Issue is, I can't get it running over 3200MHz. When I enable XMP with AUTO (3600 MHz) System Modifier, system won't Boot. I have to set System Memory Modifier just to 3200MHz, anything with higher frequency just won't boot. My goal is to reach 3600MHz which RAMs should perform.

I know my MOBO can do 3200MHz in default, but up to 5333MHz with OC, so 3600MHz with XMP (as OC) should not be problem, should it?

Please, how can I achieve 3600 MHz? I have tried to increase DRAM Voltage by little bit with XMP enabled to OC RAMs, but that just didn't increased RAM Speed, just Voltage.

(CPU is i7-12700KF if that info is needed.

Thanks for any answer.

Proper bios?

Proper bios?

Bios version is F6, from 8/8/2022, which is the highest

I can't believe you bought that board to run that processor OUCH.
Intel is not as memory dependent as AMD I would just run it 3200 and call it a day.

You might want to update the bios and get that out of the mix.

Thanks for reply, but I have standard version of MOBO, with BIOS version from 8/8/2022, which is the latest: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B660M-GAMING-DDR4-rev-10/support#support-dl

You have posted link to AX version of MOBO and it's BIOS vereions.

Confused.
You start out with DS3H and now your saying Gaming.
It looks like either one could use a little bios work from F6.

Bob.B and SkyNetRising thank You for Your help! I somehow stupidly overlooked newer version of BIOS, anyway after BIOS update I can run RAMs at 3600MHz with no issue
