Question about Gigabyte Z790 AORUS MASTER
Hello everyone! I am thinking of buying the motherboard and am interested in the G.Skill 7200 CL34. Have any of you already had experience with this combination? Are the G.Skill 7200 CL34 compatible with XMP and stable in operation? I would be happy to hear your experiences and advice. Many thanks in advance!
Have this mainboard with Corsair Vengeance RGB
2 x 16GB, 7200 MHz, DDR5-RAM CL34 running, is absolutely stable with XMP
2 x 16GB, 7200 MHz, DDR5-RAM CL34 running, is absolutely stable with XMP
I have the same combination and here is my experience:
1) when using 4 sticks (two sets) you cannot even get to 4800. The auto speed becomes 4667, and attempting to go even to 4800 failed (unstable or wouldn't even load). That's fine I guess, given the motherboard officially states it only supports two sticks for this product. I was just trying things out (bad idea).
2) I could not get it to 7200, even on one stick. However, I did manage to get one of my two sets to run at 7000 (close enough), and it has been stable for a few days now. I was too lazy to run any mem test Software so far, but it seems to work.
So to summarize: there is some risk here :)
In retrospect I would have considered buying a 5600 that works with 4 sticks and not be too greedy...
