System:
- Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wifi7 (bios ver F11)
- CPU: 9950X (per core tuned + PBO, no CS)
- GPU: Asus STRIX 4090 OC (Afterburner tuned)
- RAM: G Skill 96GB 6000CL28 (manually tuned to 6400CL28)
- Cooling: All components custom watercooled + Mo-Ra IV 400 + 2x 360mm radiators + 1x 420mm radiator)
Been using Hydra for tuning my CPU and GPU to great success. The RAM tuning feature has not worked in the last several versions. I use the diagnostics to determine CO/PBO settings then manually apply them in the bios so Hydra isn't loading when my PC is on.
I fired up an older version of Hydra where the RAM tuning feature did work. I wanted to check if the timings it provided for my RAM were better or worse than my manual tune.
When it rebooted, my mobo posted Error 64, requiring a bios reset. Because the CMOS battery is tucked behind the bottom radiator, making it super difficult to reach, I reflashed the bios via the dedicated USB slot. Have done this countless times.
I can boot into Windows no problem when the system is completely stock. But if I try re-tuning the RAM back to the manually tuned 6400CL28 I get "Boot Failure Detected – Previous settings in BIOS may not be compatible" with the standard options to load optimized defaults/Enter bios/etc.
I can load the EXPO profile for the RAM, but ANY tuning outside of that results in the same error message.
I have since then:
- Cleared the CMOS multiple times
- Reflashed the Bios (Agesa 1.2.8)
- Flashed to a previous version of the Bios
I just saw that Gigabyte released the Agesa 1.3.0 bios F12a update just within the past day or two so that will need to be tried later tonight.
Haven't tried reformatting the system, but if it were happening while in the OS, I could see how reformatting might help, but this is just as the system is starting to post.
Never had this issue before or heard of it happening. If anyone has any insight on what could be causing this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
