5. Operating Instructions: Enabling AMD EXPO

Your G.SKILL Flare X5 memory kit is designed to operate at its rated speed of 6400MT/s using the AMD EXPO profile. By default, memory modules will boot at JEDEC standard speeds (typically 4800MT/s for DDR5). To achieve the advertised performance, you must enable the AMD EXPO profile in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings.

5.1 BIOS/UEFIге кирүү

Upon powering on your computer, repeatedly press the designated key to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup. Common keys include Del, F2, F10, же F12. Consult your motherboard manual for the exact key.

5.2 Enabling AMD EXPO Profile

1. Navigate to Memory Settings: Once in the BIOS/UEFI, locate the memory or overclocking settings. This section is often found under "AI Tweaker," "Extreme Tweaker," "OC," or similar advanced settings.
2. Select EXPO Profile: Look for an option related to "Memory Profile," "EXPO," "DOCP," or "A-XMP." Select the AMD EXPO profile. This will automatically configure the memory speed, timings, and voltage to the rated specifications of your G.SKILL kit.
3. Сактоо жана чыгуу: Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Your system will restart.

Маанилүү эскертүү: Enabling AMD EXPO is a form of overclocking. System stability and the ability to reach the rated speed depend on the compatibility and capability of your motherboard and CPU. Refer to the G.SKILL website for the latest QVL (Qualified Vendor List) to ensure your motherboard and CPU are validated for this memory kit.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

G.SKILL Flare X5 memory modules are designed for long-term reliability and require minimal maintenance. However, following these general guidelines can help ensure optimal performance and longevity of your system components:

• Чаңды тазалоо: Periodically clean the interior of your computer case to prevent dust buildup on components, including RAM modules. Use compressed air to gently blow away dust from the modules and DIMM slots. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Туура аба агымы: Ensure your computer case has adequate airflow to dissipate heat effectively. Overheating can negatively impact memory performance and lifespan.
• Этияттык менен мамиле кылуу: When handling memory modules, always hold them by the edges. Avoid touching the gold contacts or the integrated circuits (chips) on the module.
• Экологиялык шарттар: Operate your computer in a stable environment, avoiding extreme temperatures or humidity.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

If you encounter issues after installing your G.SKILL Flare X5 memory kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

7.1 System Does Not Boot or Displays No Video

• Кайрадан орнотуу модулдары: Power off and unplug the system. Carefully remove and re-install the memory modules, ensuring they are fully seated in their respective DIMM slots.
• Motherboard колдонмосун текшерүү: Verify that the modules are installed in the correct DIMM slots for dual-channel operation as specified by your motherboard manual. Incorrect slot usage can prevent booting.
• CMOS тазалоо: If the system previously had different memory or overclocking settings, clear the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) to reset BIOS settings to default. Refer to your motherboard manual for instructions on how to clear CMOS.
• Test Modules Individually: If you have multiple modules, try booting with only one module installed at a time to identify if a specific module is faulty.

7.2 Memory Not Running at Advertised Speed (6400MT/s)

• Enable AMD EXPO: As detailed in Section 5, you must enable the AMD EXPO profile in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to achieve the rated speed. Memory will default to JEDEC speeds (e.g., 4800MT/s) if EXPO is not enabled.
