Hey guys, Looking for some help here.

This is my first build and Im having issues getting my motherboard to accept 3200mhz RAM.
I have updated my bios and ive enabled XMP mode, Its still only detecting 2133mhz. Ive been doing some reading and apparently the new Asus bios is having a few issues detecting RAM.

Im not really sure what else to try. Thanks in advance.

Here is my build
Asus Strix Z270E
i7 7700k
16GB TridentZ RGB 2x8GB 3200mhz RAM
GTX1080 Strix

You might have to loosen the cas timings. The cas timing are listed on the sticker on each ram stick. Place the ram at the specified frequency in advanced mode, then go into DRAM Timings and the first three fields cover the four numbers as follows: ## - | ## ## | - ##
The second two numbers in the cas timing label are controlled with one number setting on the bios screen.
Try going up a single digit on all three number fields from the labeled amount and seeing if it posts.

If that doesn't work, attempt to go up 2 digits from the labeled amount.

Also, be aware that changing the BCLK frequency on the CPU overclock screen may effect ram stability.


You shouldn't need to go any higher. I would personally RMA the sticks since they're not...

Thanks for your reply Darren,

I have been in the BIOS to enable and disable XMP profile, Then a reboot. I will try the EZ Tuning Wizard again. I didn't have any luck with it when i tried tho.

I myself have never found any of the automatic or semi-automatic overclocking features from ASUS or any other manufacturer to be decent, stable long term solutions.

I suggest you write down the settings from the BIOS that it's currently running on XMP.
Disable XMP. Set the memory speed to manual control and 2133MHz and set the timings accordingly with the specification of the memory you're using. Set the voltage manually, make sure you get it right, too little and it'll not boot or if it does it will be unstable. Too much voltage and you can damage the modules.

Once you can boot with manual settings at 2133MHz, reboot and up the memory speed some more, perhaps try 2400MHz.

Keep doing this until you can get to the specified speed the RAM is supposed to be.

If you find 3200MHz is unachievable then there's clearly something wrong with the BIOS in terms of O.C. support and/or TridentZ support.

If that doesn't work the board may be malfunctioning.
