cpuz shows the base speed. now that i realize your in quad channel, upping the imc voltage may be needed like Furious_Styles mentioned.
ive seen it only display the spd speed before, i thought the base spd for that kit was 4000, could be wrong. what does windows say in taskmanager? if it only shows 4000, its not set right.
CPU-Z always showing the actual memory clock speed. It does not show the double data rate clock value. DDR memory always operates at half the advertised speed. This is because double-data rate RAM transmits data on the falling and rising edge of the clock cycle, effectively moving twice the data per clock as SDRAM that preceded DDR did. That's where the name "DDR" comes from. It stands for "double data rate." Either way, your RAM is not operating at 5200MHz. If it were, it should show 2600MHz.
is the bios up to date? what options for speeds do you get in bios?
maybe, i didnt pay attention to the numbers but there are two updates already.
On the Asus site there is no update
Nothing reset to default, it should go to 4.8GHz and not 4.0GHz.
we get that. your bios should have the different xpm profiles the stick supports. make sure youre in advance mode, if the bios has it.
Sorry I explained it bad, there is no update since I'm already running 0803 bios
ok. after updating have you ever done a good hard cmos clearing? if not, remove power and battery, hit power button to drain caps and wait a few min. see if that gets it to normal. then, try bumping both the ram and imc voltage.
done, it doesn't helped. I'm pretty worried that I have a faulty motherboard.
will it run with only 2 sticks?
k.
I bet he just needs to wait for a bios update. I'm not much for QVL lists but neither of his sets are listed on there.
lol was heading there next. i normally start there but things seems good for that last couple chip releases, on either side.
re-seat. take it out, put it back in, make sure the heatsink is seated right, not too tight or loose.
He bought a 1k board so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess a 12900K.
never know around here...
Haha you're right about that!
You most likely need to adjust the Gear setting. All that being said, your issues sound like memory compatibility problems which sadly are par for the course with early hardware with a brand new type of memory and platform. I hope mine fairs better, but I won't know until I get my water block's mounting plate.
