Hi.
I have an issue with ram compatibility in XMP mode - 8Gb DDR4 3400MHz Patriot Viper 4 (PV48G340C6K) (2x4Gb KIT).
Failed to complete Prime95, IntelBurnTest, etc. It's all good in standard (2133Mhz) mode but failed in XMP. Sometimes pc refuses to start if XMP mode is ON...particularly with this DDR kits. Bios version - F7.
I've tested it with several ram kits (i have 6 kits of this particular memory) - same results: failed tests in XMP mode; occasional issues with pc refuses to start if XMP is on.
Also, I tested these memory kits on other mobo - ASUS Z170M-Plus with latest bios (1803). All modules working fine. All synthetic tests completed w/o issues.
What should I do? Wait for newer bios version cause this is a compatibility issue with this particular ram? Or this might be a mobo hardware issue and I should take it to my retail warranty?
EDIT:
I noticed a thing:
GA-Z170M-D3H F7 bios (latest) -
2016/03/03 (Improve DDR XMP compatibility)
GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 F8i beta bios -
2016/05/16 (Improve DDR Compatibility)
GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 F8f beta bios -
2016/05/05 (Improve DDR Compatibility)
GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 F8b beta bios -
2016/04/08 (Improve DDR Compatibility)
These a lot of new bioses for Gaming G1 mobo with improved DDR Compatibility...but no new bioses for GA-Z170M. I understand, Gaming G1 one of your top mobos on Z170 chipset but surely this doesn't mean that your other motherboards on the same chipset shouldn't have appropriate support for newer ram modules?
