Hey guys,
Just thought I would post my experience...
I upgraded my machine to an i7-7700k, with a Z270 TUF Mark 1 & 32 GB Trident Z RBG DDR4-3200 memory. I enabled the XMP Profile after getting the machine up and running and tried to install windows. no luck, it kept on blue-screening during the installation at different points... I knew pretty much with the XMP enabled the system was unstable. So i disabled the XMP profile and windows installed no problems. So i figured the BIOS was out of date v.0505. It was and updated it to the v.0906. I then went back in and enabled the XMP profile... no post... i was like great... So i figured ok, i'll just set the timings manually and get my 3200Mhz that way. No post... So then I set the clock speed back to 3000Mhz and the system is working fine at that speed... no issues, the system appears stable. I'm ok running the ram at 3000Mhz.
Then the lighting on the rams were starting to stop working... after some digging around on the g.skill forums, i had installed both ASUS Aura and G.Skill Trident Z RGB software. So i uninstalled both from the system, i pulled the power plug from the computer for about 5 minutes and plugged it back in, installed the Trident RGB Software and the lighting is working fine, no issues.
Unfortunately, if i want to run CPU-Z, i have to remember to disabled the G.Skill lighting first...
Will I have to do the same for HWiNFO? Does anyone know?
Also, for the G.Skill developers and engineers. I'm curious that you can send a signal through the SMBus to change the lighting on the ram. Are you able to distinquish if the signal is coming from your software or another software?
Thanks
AJ
