  • correct setting for F4-3200C16D-32GVK memory in ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E

    I very recently purchased F4-3200C16D-32GVK modules from NewEgg along with an ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E board. I have been having what appear to be memory issues but I think it may be a configuration problem. I see the STRIX Z270E board in the QVL for this memory (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-32gvk) but the board's bios doesn't appear to detect it correctly, and the F4-3200C16D-32GVK doesn't show up on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E QVL list - https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards.../HelpDesk_QVL/ though the F4-3200C16D-16GVK does, it which how the Asus AI suite detects it (it's 2 x 16 GB modules)

    Anyone know what the MB BIOS settings should be for stable performance on these modules? The board was originally set to AUTO and detected the RAM as 2133, a new Win10 install randomly blue screened about every 20 minutes. After checking that everything was seated properly, the problem continued. I removed one module and it ran for >8 hours without problems. I then put the removed module back in and removed the 'good' one, and it blue screened on booting. I ran the windows memory test on each, the first one passed and the second one reported hardware issues within a minute.

    However, when I noticed the BIOS speed setting was not correct for these, I changed them to 3200, tested each individually and then together, and they all passed. However two days later I received another blue screen.

    So currently I'm not sure if it's an issue with one module or it's a configuration issue.

    enabling XMP appears to detect the memory correctly, but it blue screens
    I set back to manual and set the settings to match the XMP ones, and lowered the speed each time I got a blue screen. Down to 2800 Mhz and another blue screen.

    emailed tech support as well, waiting on response.

    Any assistance would be appreciated

    Do you have the latest BIOS?
    Which slots are you using?

      No, at this point I'm just trying to get this memory to work without BSOD every other day. With the auto or XMP setting, it fails the windows memory test and bluescreens. I'm trying to determine if the memory is indeed good, and what it *should* be set to in the bios just for basic stable operation.

        sorry! I missed the first part of your reply! (I just saw the overclocker part...)

        Yes, updated to 0906, the latest for the asus z270e

        I'm following the recommended slots in the motherboard book, slot A_2 and B_2

          You said the first module passed by itself, did you try XMP to see if it was stable?

          Sounds like the second stick is bad if the first one worked fine.
