Hey so after reading going through reviews and checking the motherboard’s QVL for compatibility I got the items in the title and set the XMP which would not even post. I have the option of returning the mobo and getting something better but I don’t want to spend a huge amount more than I already have. I was looking at the MSI tomahawk as a possibility?
Both list this as supported ram, although confusingly the Gigabyte website only lists i9/i7 as compatible with their overclocked ram speeds (including 4600mhz) with the i5 compatibility listed as topping out at 2900. I missed this as it was on a separate page as the QVL. Tomahawk is listed as i5/i7/i9 supporting everything on their QVL so I’m thinking maybe it will be compatible.
I’ve been digging around and trying to find info on how to make it stable. 1.3 on the SA and VCCIO won’t post and after reading this review I tried the higher voltage to see if I could at least get into memorytest (from my searching I guess these are not good voltages to run long-term). I get errors starting from the first pass test 4. But at least it posts.
