My Asus manual for a Z790 board says IN THE MANUAL, to use A2 and B2 first. So, that sounds weird that your Asus manual says use A1 and B1 first. XMP is only on A2 and B2 but my ram is unstable at the 7,200MHz that it is rated for. I ran MemTest86 on it for a week over and over. I can only get as high as 6,800MHz. On a 7,200MHz kit 😑
After a day of trying raising voltages slightly and lowering the speed step by step all to avail I found your fix and it worked first time. Thank you so much for posting this. My blood pressure has now returned to normal. If anyone wants to know I am using an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E 2x with Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz
I had the exact same problem on my ASUS Prime Z790 A MoBo however my fix was a slight variation of yours. When inserting the DIMM's into slot 2 and 4 the bios would not even boot up. I solved the issue by just inserting 1 DIMM into slot 2, go into the BIOS and turn on XMP 1. Then the stick would run at full 5600Mhz. After that worked, I put the second stick into slot 4 and everything has been working fine ever since. Thank you for this great video. Certainly helped me and sparked my creativity and problem solving 🙂
This actually worked for my 2 sticks of 16GB DDR5 7000. I was stuck in a bios loop for hours. Updated the bios on my Asus Rog Strix Z790 E-Gaming Wifi, defaulted all bios settings, switched sticks from A1/B1 to A2/B2. Switched profile to XMP 1 in BIOS. Booted up first time. Remember to safely update your BIOS too folks, that way your hardware can be properly utilized! Thanks again!
got this to work for my 2 sticks of 16gb ram not enabling xmp on my asus z790-p mobo. switched ram stick to slots a2/b2, went into bios and changed to xmp 1 , saved and restarted and it fired right up. thank you for the video.
Wow. Been trying for a week to get my DDR5 working and then just came across this video. Worked first time. I did the same as a lot of people, I assumed the mobo wants it in A1/B1 but the manual says otherwise after re-reading it after this video. I bought some expensive 6400 Trident Z5 which wouldn't even post above 4600. Now it just booted straight into 6400 no problems. Thought I was going to have to return the RAM.

Omg you’re amazing. Thanks for sharing. Worked for me too on Asus Strix z790e and dominator 2 x 16gb 5600mhz. Moved ram sticks to a2/b2 and loaded XMP I. Magic!
i saw on another video before that the naming order of the RAM slots is B1-B2-A1-A2... and you should load RAM in order B2-A2-B1-A1.... i.e. 2nd slot, 4th, 1st and lastly 3rd. The guy also said best to (if you using multiple RAM sticks) use sticks from same single multi pack of RAM stick and not to mix and match despite being seemingly same... and load in order based on the serial numbers on the sticks....i.e. if they end in e.g. ....4782, 4783, 4784 and 4785... load "...4782" in "B2", "...4783" in "A2", "...4784" in "B1" and lastly stick ending in "...4785" in slot "A1"...hope this makes sense. He said it is "best practice". If i find the link i will share.
this worked for me, im using ddr5 64gb 5600mhz 4 dims, when xmp is disabled my ram runs at 4000mhz instead of 4800mhz, when xmp is enabled i run at full speed 5600mhz, thank you for this you deserve a sub! :)

Your method totally worked, i just switched their placement. They should totally patch this. Thanks again❤
RAM slots are ALWAYS A2 and B2. Reason is very simply that these are at the end of the address and data traces and so the traces are terminated correctly by the memory. VDD and VDDQ may well need increasing for XMP stability.
Ironic you uploaded this on nov 28th. that was the same day a bios update came out that may have helped. and there has been another one since on jan 11th. With ddr5 being so new, it is good to keep the bios up to date
I got a similar set up to you with 13900k, same mobo and 4x16gb DDR5 sticks. For the past month I've been having crashes and figured it was the ram. Ran memtest86 on single and dual sticks without issue but failed with the sticks together. Going to give this fix a try now and see if it helps!
@Chill Bear any crashing or BSOD while using your PC since you made the changes? I also have a 13900k with 4x16gb and have all kinds of stability issues while running XMP. I can run 2x16gb on XMP with no issues. I mainly just use my PC for gaming, streaming, and watching videos.
Weird. Every modern PC I have built says to put in A2/B2 if using 2 sticks. Pretty sure I've done Asus boards and don't remember ever putting ram in A1/B1.

I looked up the Asus Z790 and it's manual even states to put in A2/B2.
Gotta give you credit man, after having intermittent stability issues trying to run my 4x16gb DDR5 overclocked, it looks like changing from "sync all PMICs" to "By per PMIC" may have actually done the trick. Just got through 8.5 hours of MemTest86+ at 6000 MT/s CL30 with 0 errors after bumping VDD and VDDQ voltage by .05v and changing the PMIC setting. I'm hesitant to declare victory, I still need to do real-world tests, but initial results look super promising. Thanks.
@@VictorV2zin No memory related crashes in the past two weeks. I'd say I'm stable. It's hard to help without knowing more about your setup. RAM stability can vary a lot depending on what platform and chip you are using. For me, I enabled XMP-II in my BIOS settings, which sets the RAM to the "factory-recommended" overclock settings. After that, I slightly increased the voltage on VDD and VDDQ over the XMP settings. They recommended 1.35v, so I switched it to 1.40v. Then I changed the setting "Sync all PMICs" to "By per PMIC." This was on a Z790 Strix board (with the latest BIOS update), a 13900k, and 4x16GB DDR5-6000 CL 30.

I've heard that the sticks above 6000 still have problems, which is why I opted for the 5600. It might state in the bios that it runs at 4800, but that seems to be a glitch, if you check in windows and with benchmarking software it will state 6000 on XMP. In which slots are the two sticks installed? A1, B1 or A2, B2 or A1, A2 etc.?
Is this problem across all Z790 Motherboards? I've an Asrock, and can't clock above 4400Mhz on G.Skill Ripjaws rated for 6000Mhz. XMP seems to be a no go no matter what the frequency.
@@vyruxzzgaming99 Got it fixed a couple of hours ago. Did what this video suggested and switched my two sticks from A1, B1 to A2 B2. I then updated the bios to the latest available version. The memory is now running XMP at full rated speed.

Hello! I have Asus Prime z790-p and two sticks 2x16gb ddr5 g.skill 6000. I have them in the slots that you told in the video but when i enable XMP it freezes the pc at random time when i open a game. Do i need to change something else to bios to fix that? I did also the latest BIOS update for the motherboard. Thanks!
Good day. I am not sure I understand your question, but yes if you use only 2 sticks as well, you still need to have it in the correct slots. If not, try one stick at a time, it might be that one or both of your sticks are bad.
I had 2 sticks had issue at 6400mhz or xmp on had fixed it but switched 2 4 sticks now having the same issue but cant get it unless its under 6200mhz but i paid for 6400mhz so i need full potential
I have the same problem with my x870 f asus, i tried that twice but didn't work, i will try again today, i hope it works because mine is reading 4000 or something like that and i have the corsair 6000 or more, im not sure anymore,
In my case A2/B2 IS the default configuration for two sticks on Z690 Extreme not A1/B1. Are you sure on you board A1/B1 ? I actually looked up your board and indeed A2/B2 is default as well for you.
I have an asus tuf b650 board and my ram is in slots a2 b2 yet my ram is stuck at 4800mhz (rated for 6400) and my D.O.C.P (amd version of x.m.p) is on. Can anyone help?

Did you even read the manual mate :)) your not even meant to put the ram where you first put it. It even states on the ASUS board for two modules you put it in a2 and b2 not a1 and b1. Just saying. Not being rude
Glad to hear your manual is correct, but the main reason I made this video is because my manual states the exact opposite...and yes, I ALWAYS read the manual first, even if just buy a kettle. ;)

I still have freeze issues with Asus Prime z790-p with the same rams as you at xmp profile at 6000. Did you change anything in BIOS?
This worked on My Asus Maximus z790 Hero. Running at full rated speed of 7600. RAM was QVL. Expected to run out of the box with XMP on the normal channels. Subbed. Thank you.
I got the same Motherboard and I got 6600 MHz RAM. How high did you set your voltage to get everything working?
@@Nate-242 Used stock voltages.
I’m glad I found this jsut bought some new ddr5 at 8000 and I was getting 4000 in a1 b1. I’m excited to try this I’m missing half my ram’s capabilities
In the z790 manual it states a2/b2 main slots so well you now in the slots they are meant for
Thank you so much, Good Man, god bless you. I tried all the preset XMP/EXPO profiles on the motherboard, it didn't work for my Kingston FURY 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz CL36 Beast RGB EXPO AMD. I checked my slots, and naturally, i put the DIMMs into A1 and B1.
1 interesting note, that my Gigabyte Control Center didn't show any RGB config for the RAM slots, and I was wondering why it's just glowing in static color, I even almost installed the software from Kingston. But thanks god I found your videos and swapped the slots. It booted from the 1st time and shows 5600 MHz now! And guess what? The GIgabyte Control Center now shows the RGB fusion for RAM slots too! Yeeeeey! That's a win-win. Hope it won't crash when I play CS:GO.
P.S. Mother Board is Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX
My mobo calls for a2 b2 configuration, does that mean i should try a1 b1? Im running g.skill flare5 6000 ddr 5 2x32 with a ryzen 9 7900x on a b650e-f. When i turn on EXPO and set it to 6000 it wont post but when i dial back to 5800 it will.
having same problem, withn Z790, 3 G.skills DDR5 sticks 16,32 and 16GB (slots used 12,4) not able to enable XMP. currently running at speed of 4000MHZ
im having problems finding the proper voltage settings on the Aorus Z790. totally different, dont have nearly as many voltage options
It fixed thank you so much broo
I’ve Corsair Vengeance 64GB (6400)
Is this fix the XMP Problem? cause I get blue screen all the time when I restarted my pc & in game lag! but when I turned off I didn’t faced anything
@@RastaForza Yes you can try this yo fix that. Blue screen might just be bad Ram, but try the fix first.
@@Lego-Adventures I tried but unfortunately it didn't work! The PC started crashing by itself
@@Lego-Adventures I found out that the problem it was with the Corsair 65 DDR5 RAM, I disabled XMP and now my pc is running perfectly
Wow, thank you so much it worked!!!
I have gigabyte aorus elite AX ddr5 with gskill 6000 32gb when I installed both sticks I got 4800 after enabling xmp the PC won't boot anymore I had to reset the cmos and now only one stick of ram is working while the other one if I connect it the PC won't boot anymore please help
I've heard that the sticks above 6000 still have problems, which is why I opted for the 5600.
It might state in the bios that it runs at 4800, but that seems to be a glitch, if you check in windows and with benchmarking software it will state 6000 on XMP.
In which slots are the two sticks installed?
A1, B1 or A2, B2 or A1, A2 etc.?
XMP finally worked. Many thanks!
Please help asus prime z690 ddr5 6000 mhz but runs at 4000 should i change ram slots and try or just change voltage
thank you so much worked on my 790 Eva !
Is this problem across all Z790 Motherboards? I've an Asrock, and can't clock above 4400Mhz on G.Skill Ripjaws rated for 6000Mhz. XMP seems to be a no go no matter what the frequency.
I have the same RAM and the same issue on my z690 motherboard
@@vyruxzzgaming99 Got it fixed a couple of hours ago. Did what this video suggested and switched my two sticks from A1, B1 to A2 B2. I then updated the bios to the latest available version. The memory is now running XMP at full rated speed.
Thank you for sharing your success with this method!
@@Lego-Adventures No problem, thanks for the tip. It might work now in A1,B1 but I decide to leave it alone when it's working.😉
I have x670 gigabyte with 64gb 6000 Mhz... Currently my RAM speed is set to 3600Mhz (like my previous speed), I am not computer tech savvy so trying to figure how to change that?
Brilliant worked first time Thanks.
Hello! I have Asus Prime z790-p and two sticks 2x16gb ddr5 g.skill 6000. I have them in the slots that you told in the video but when i enable XMP it freezes the pc at random time when i open a game. Do i need to change something else to bios to fix that? I did also the latest BIOS update for the motherboard. Thanks!
Does your random freeze problem solved?
@@netfreak6993 so apparently the problem it was totally another reason and not the xmp. It was the gpu. I’m using xmp now with no problems!
@@scarko_ which GPU you were using?
@@scarko_ what was your solution? I may be having a similar issue. Which is why I'm digging through the depths of yt comment hell.
You are awesome thanks to you I was able to run xmp 💪
You are most welcome! Glad the video helped you,!
Hi i have a problem with 2 stick G.Skill 2x16 GB 6000MHz z690 Apex i912900k
Solution please ?...
Thanks. Trying this now and crossing fingers
Should it be By Per PMIC with 2 sticks also?? Answer me pls!! Cant enable xmp pc crash..
Good day. I am not sure I understand your question, but yes if you use only 2 sticks as well, you still need to have it in the correct slots. If not, try one stick at a time, it might be that one or both of your sticks are bad.
I had 2 sticks had issue at 6400mhz or xmp on had fixed it but switched 2 4 sticks now having the same issue but cant get it unless its under 6200mhz but i paid for 6400mhz so i need full potential
I have the same problem with my x870 f asus, i tried that twice but didn't work, i will try again today, i hope it works because mine is reading 4000 or something like that and i have the corsair 6000 or more, im not sure anymore,
does this work with expo too?
I can't find the by per PMICs option, i have Asus B650 prime plus. Help me !
I think that’s for Intel CPUs only? Idk
i have 7900x3d x670e and can’t find it either
@@dr.hannibal8338 if its the case its sad
switching slots worked for xmp, z790 prime gskill 6000
A1B1 won’t work for me system will not even boot y
Up and I get a ram error on the motherboard
In my case A2/B2 IS the default configuration for two sticks on Z690 Extreme not A1/B1. Are you sure on you board A1/B1 ? I actually looked up your board and indeed A2/B2 is default as well for you.
noticed this too
Great tutorial it fixed my problem
Thanks brah, dit het gehelp! Dankie man.
this the only video works for me thanks
I have an asus tuf b650 board and my ram is in slots a2 b2 yet my ram is stuck at 4800mhz (rated for 6400) and my D.O.C.P (amd version of x.m.p) is on. Can anyone help?
It not start up after finished?
Nice Work, you save me..... Tank You
Amigo….gracias….llevo toda la tarde intentando y volviendome loco…MUCHAS GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO!! ❤
Solo un placer, encantada de ayudar. :) You are most welcome!
will this apply to expo also?
Crazy how many clueless people are out there tinkering with their machines
Hello! I haven't tried xmp yet but I have the exact same motherboard and similar ram. Did you have to update the bios for it to work?
I did update the BIOS, but it should work even without the BIOS update. If none of the solutions in the video work, try the BIOS update.
@Lego how many bios updates did you have to do? also does it run at 4800mhz with no xmp?
@@bobbebusybuilding7413 Only one update, currently running version 0602. Yes, it is usually possible to run 4800 with no XMP by manually tweaking the settings, but it's more complex than just activating XMP.
Interesting, my asus 690 G specifically says to use A2:B2 first
It worked thank you
Shame on intel side of chipset and cpu whatever they did not fix ddr5 4xdim issues even after 2 years.
bro thanks a lot for you advice
Good Video, Thank you.
What about 1 stick of 16GB 5200?
That should work without any issues or tweaks to BIOS. Do you experience crashes or no boot?
@@Lego-Adventures no boot, it shows American Megatrends error
@@mihirpatel5024 What RAM are you using? What is the RAM rated speed on the box, 5200? Do you have X.M.P activated or not?
ASRock Tiachi z690, Gskill Ripjaws DDR5-6000, i7-13700k.... No matter what I do, my ram will not run at anything other than 3000. Literally nothing works. This PC has been built, at the time of writing this, for 5 days.
I have an mini itx board with only 2 slots... I really hope they are gonna fix this issue soon in a bios update or something, I build my pc 3 days ago and was freaking out looking for a solution, tested cpu and gpu, even reinstalled everything(bios, drivers and even windows) thanks for the helpful video it was such a hassle and ive finally slimmed down the issue to RAM and mobo and now i have a solution, altough i wont play around with the bios and wait for everything to come out as an update!
Funny thing in new manual from asus its A2 B2 :)
Asus motherboards are loosing my interest.
Also see if your RAM and speed is supported by your MOBO, my Z790-A Prime will only go to 6400mHz with the CORSAIR Vengence Sticks @ 32gb (2x16gb)
I'm just leaving XMP off. Too much fuss...
its okey thanks e lot brother
This did it for me
watches another youtube video, reproduces exactly saying the same thing, acts like HE fixed it :P 🤣🤡
Great 👍
Did you even read the manual mate :)) your not even meant to put the ram where you first put it.
It even states on the ASUS board for two modules you put it in a2 and b2 not a1 and b1. Just saying. Not being rude
Glad to hear your manual is correct, but the main reason I made this video is because my manual states the exact opposite...and yes, I ALWAYS read the manual first, even if just buy a kettle. ;)
Ah ok good to hear hope all is working good.
thank you
You are most welcome.
Like, like, like... ty!
Hahahaha this is so dumb, i’ve been messing with these settings in the bios for so long to learn this. Thank you tons
i have Gskill 7600Mhz and i can only run them at 6000(A2,B2), asus Z790 prime-A
@kaiarbenhansen1617 - Thank you for your comment, I am happy that my video helped you; however, I had to remove your comment since it is blasphemous. Only One Being deserves the title Saviour and that is Yeshua (Jesus) our Saviour that died to wash away our sins with His blood and rose again so that we can one day have eternal life.

Mine still keeps crashing !😊
Do u solve the problem ?
@@Nemesis_790 somewhat changed timings and reseatin ram
Need help !
Why is this a thing? But thanks switching the slots worked for me too (i5 13600k, Gigabyte Z790 Gaming AX, Kingston Fury RGB 6000MT)
Hi, I have the Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX motherboard and i use 4 sticks of Kingston Fury rgb 5600hz 16gbx 4. When i use XMP the system is instable and sometimes the PC don't start. In the boot menu i have the voice VDD2 and VDDQ for the voltage and there isn't SYNC ALL but many settings for sync or split the voltage. Do you have any idea how to set these settings correctly to use XMP?
Many thanks for you support!
@@giorgiobellia8972 using all 4 memory slots is very unstable for ddr5 i highly recommand getting 2 lager modules. But you can try to update ur Mainboard driver with Gigabytes GCC tool, be aware of 3 party software
@@Koyamine Thanks for the reply.
The drivers are already all updated. In any case, not knowing how to set the voltage parameters, I tried to enable the XMP 2 profile at 5200hz and with 4 sticks it seems stable.
