Aurora R15, RAM 7000 MHz issue
So I've seen people with higher clock RAM at 7000 MHz with this machine. What is the proper way of achieving this? I've tried different RAM sticks at different frequencies and failed. The computer won't even turn on when I go beyond 6000 MHz. The only possible way to overclock the RAM is via AWCC. The XMP option in BIOS has always been gray.

Have you seen 7000 on this forum or on another web page and if so can you link to the source. The specs list 5200 as the XMP max.

5600 MHz XMP DDR5 is the fastest supported by Dell.
* Go back to the top of this Alienware Desktops board
* Open the Pinned post, "FAQ Alienware Desktops"
* Open, "FAQ Aurora R15"
The online Aurora R15 Setup and Specifications has not yet been updated to show the 5600 MHz ram.

The chipset I understand is a Z690, so theoretically the best you're going to get stable is 6200Mhz anyways.. 7000Mhz is pure fantasy on a Dell machine! lol!!

Is your R15 running an AMD or Intel CPU? I can't speak to the AMD, but the Intel / 13900KF board is working fine for me on bios 1.06. AWCC of course doesn't report the timings correctly, but it seems to be all good. Overclocking disabled in bios, enabled in AWCC.

What ram sticks are you using? I just tried CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 7200 16x2 CL34 today. Couldn't get it to start. Did you do anything or alter anything before plugging in the ram? The advanced tab for MEMRORY CLOCK in my AWCC went missing after the 1.0.6 BIOS update.

Man same here. I switched to the same ram as you, but the 64gb 5200mhz. And AWCC is now missing the overclock tab for the ram and is only at 4800.

Just curious what you did to make it work?
I have some Corsair 7000 on the way.

I got it!! And with 1.0.6 BIOS! R15 does support 7000 mhz after all.
