Hello all,
Just want to share my recent horror experiences with Corsair Vengeance and subsequent success.
I upgraded to a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi, 3700X and 4x8GB sticks of Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Rev. 4.32, which is on the QVL.
Being a lazy Intel user, I set everything on XMP and expected it to work. However, 1 pair would memtest okay, the other would fail 10 mins into the test. Thinking this is a faulty memory, I RMAed it for CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 - Vengeance Pro RGB Rev 4.32.
This also failed memtest straight away and doubts began to creep in over Corsair's QA and surely I was not unlucky twice.
After checking a couple of guides, I decided to give manual settings a try. Using Dram calc 1.62 and inputting safe settings into bios, it worked first go and memtested stable for 6 hours.
It's been at least 12 years since I had an AMD rig, certainly more mucking around (i.e. expecting set XMP and forget), but has been fun.
