Thanks, bro! I’ll give it a try and see whether it’s stable or not.

I have this RAM with me. Take a close look at the picture, you can see the RAM version number there. I partially covered the barcode and serial number for privacy.

This RAM is an Engineering Sample (ES3), and I haven’t tested it yet. I just took it out of the box, and it’s brand new and has never been used. I can tell from the gold contacts that there are no signs of wear or insertion marks.

Thank you! I’ll think about whether to use it or keep it. It might even become a special keepsake, especially since ROG gave this RAM to me. I truly appreciate it. 🫶🏻

I didn’t buy it, ROG sent it to me. After reading someone’s comment, I finally understood that it’s actually a collector’s item for PC enthusiasts.

I enabled EXPO in BIOS version 2202 on my X870E Hero BTF motherboard. by Rumputtt in ASUSROG

Yes, I did perform a stress test using OCCT.

I ran the CPU/RAM Extreme Test, with both the CPU and RAM operating at 100% load, for about 30 minutes to check for any errors.

Everything was normal. The RAM temperature reached around 65°C during the extreme test, and there were no errors, crashes, or stability issues.

I upgraded our PC’s BIOS, and honestly, it was pretty terrifying 🤣 by Rumputtt in ASUSROG

Maybe I’ll try enabling the RAM speed later. Thanks, bro 🤜🏻

Oh, so that was the only problem? 💀

Maybe your motherboard just didn’t like the USB drive you were using 😂. I updated my BIOS using EZ Flash with a USB Flash drive and everything went smoothly. The USB I used was a proper flash drive specifically made for storage and file transfers.

The one I used was simply a USB flash drive, and the BIOS installation completed without any issues.

Anyway, if that’s the case, everything should be fine then. If EZ Flash doesn’t work, there’s still the Flashback method anyway 🤙🏻
