DDR5 4 dimms on am5 -- what's working, what's not?

The qled light gets stuck on vga if i install all 4 sticks
But i if i only two it goes from dram - cpu- vga - boot

Latest BIOS?
Given it’s GSkill do you have EXPO enabled when you insert the other two modules?

Yes updated to latest bios
Tried with and with dcop
No difference

But the frist time i installed all four new rams
It was stuck on vga and the next day i tried
It booted to os ,i tried a reboot and
I got an error like in the image after the restart i

After that i tried reinstalling os with 2 sticks and installed 4 sticks
Most times got stuck on vga
A few times booted and got stuck on a blank black screen

After every try i change sticks placement and clear cmos

Are you installing the matched sticks together in the same channel? I know you tried different placements, but matched sticks in each channel should be the correct way (even then there four possible placements…)

Quite strange. On default settings 4 sticks should train at 3600MT. If that doesn’t even post, I’m not sure.

Can you verify all memory settings are on auto after clearing cmos? They should be, but double check to make sure? DOCP will not work for sure.

Hmm, have you tried without the GPU? Or even as bare as possible, I.e. just cpu and ram.

All of the sticks separately work?

All are matching sticks and tried with everything on auto
Also tried without gpu even then stuck on vga

Have you tried a known working stick in each of the slots, to verify all slots individually work?

Also try reseating the CPU? If there’s a bad contact on some of the pins it may only show up on one of the RAM slots.

Im able to post with 16gb x4 ,
And i just tried removing the cpu and placing it agin still samve vga light

Do you have any idea on what i can try
I don’t mind the speed or performance just want it to boot
That will be enough for me

Hmm I‘m pretty much out of ideas. You could try manually setting very safe settings with a config that posts, then plug in the 128GB? Eg put the 3600MT manually, all other settings auto?

In principle 128GB at 3600MT is supported. If it doesn’t work one or more of your components is defective since it can’t run minimum spec.

One more idea is to run memtest on each of the sticks separately?

Since the motherboard and cpu have been running fine with other memory otherwise I’d RMA the new RAM and get something else. Preferably a kit of 4. Or a 2x48GB kit if that is enough capacity.

So I wonder how vendors like Boxx has been selling 192GB DDR5 with speed 5600Mhz - World’s Fastest Custom Workstations | BOXX

I wonder what kit they are using which allows them to sell stable configurations.

You could contact them and ask. Might just be a bug with their website always listing DDR5-5600 for both dual and quad DIMM configs.

lol in this picture i see both sets are pushed in the wrong order is this is a AM 5 board the sets have to be split one of the front ones it needs to be A B A B configuration
Now they sit in the old A A B B configuration in this picture lol
But to be honest i just have 2 dimms and have alot of problems with them
Even when i run them at low speeds this far the selling comapny refuses to answer at all.

4x48GB compatibility seem to be way better than 4x32GB. You’ll even find many of those 4x48GB 5200~5600MHz on some motherboards QVL for memory.

What is the exact model of the sticks you’re using?

There are verified users on the forums (myself included) running both Kingston and Micron ECC UDIMMs in 128Gb configurations, no idea about non ECC UDIMMs.

This might be the last resort to get high speed 4-dimm 128GB/192GB working.

Standardized by JEDEC earlier this year as JESD323, CUDIMMs tweak the traditional unbuffered DIMM by adding a clock driver (CKD) to the DIMM itself, with the tiny IC responsible for regenerating the clock signal driving the actual memory chips. By generating a clean clock locally on the DIMM (rather than directly using the clock from the CPU, as is the case today), CUDIMMs are designed to offer improved stability and reliability at high memory speeds, combating the electrical issues that would otherwise cause reliability issues at faster memory speeds. In other words, adding a clock driver is the key to keeping DDR5 operating reliably at high clockspeeds.
All told, JEDEC is proposing that CUDIMMs be used for DDR5-6400 speeds and higher, with the first version of the specification covering speeds up to DDR5-7200. The new DIMMs will also be drop-in compatible with existing platforms (at least on paper), using the same 288-pin connector as today’s standard DDR5 UDIMM and allowing for a relatively smooth transition towards higher DDR5 clockspeeds.
