Same issues with Z590 Dark. 2 different sets of ram that won't post at XMP so far, and one of the sets had zero issues running XMP on the Z490 Dark. BIOS 1.04.

 Excuse my memory, but did you look at this article and try any of it?:
Igor's lab z590 and memory article

They indicate on that page that bumping up the VCCIO Memory Voltage (Not VCCIO Voltage, I think EVGA calls it VCCIO_Aux) a little may help stabilize memory settings and to make sure that the SA (System Agent) Voltage is between 1.25-1.3V. This was based on another board, but those were the findings they had for the most stable memory settings. It sounds like Igor's Lab expected to see some board manufacturers' VSA being higher than it should be and that stability could be found by lowering it to within that range.
 
I saw on one of your posts that you tried "bumping up" the voltage, but I didn't know if you took a look at lowering the VSA or playing with the VCCIO_Aux.

Thanks, yes looked at the article. Yep, I've been trying pushing up VCCIO_Aux, VSA was at 1.295 without me changing it, pushed voltage up to 1.475, gear 2 of course.. it just won't post, and I get the 2 little red LEDs confirming it's DIMM issue. 3600MHz works on gear 1, perhaps I should work on lowering the timings instead, since it seems this board refuses to do anything in gear 2, both on this ram and some 5333 ram we tried. Frustrating, plus I'm running on about 3 hours sleep.. been a long day.

is running good so far for me right now

EVGA really need to rethink this ram QVL deal.

Hey all! Bumping this to see if anyone had any luck as of late?

Running into a similar issue with my EVGA Z590 FTW (v 1.07) with Corsair Vengeance Ram 3000mhz C15 32gb (8gbx4) and i9-11900k.
Can't boot when XMP is enabled and in Gear 1. Boots in "Auto" which I believe is putting me into Gear 2 based on mem controller freq.
I have a Trident Z 3800mhz C14 32gb (8gbx4) on the way and will report back if the change in memory helps. 
 

around here is seems most people are having success with just two sticks of 16gb stuff.   I was able to use (4x16GB) of the trident royal elite 4000mhz stuff with all 4 dimms populated but that was gear 2.  It runs great so I am done with that.

At least it's stable! Have you done an AIDA64 latency test with gear 2?

yea I posted my AIDA results in one of these threads.  Ill look around but it was stable and not bad.  My 590FTW is gear 2 @ 4000 and my 590Dark is gear 2 @ 4800.  I just haven't messed with it too much other than getting it stable and getting to the games.  
 
seems to me that gear 2 is perfectly fine and there are probably better places to spend the effort.  

Hello,
 
i just feel to pick up this thread again.
 
I have 11900k on Z590 Dark with G.Skill 3600 CL14 Ram (2x16GB). BIOS is 1.08. XMP loads and when I let it sit at Auto for GEAR Mode it runs fine.
My problem is, that as soon I turn memory settings to gear1 I get an boot loop. I tried this also with 3400Mhz and 3467Mhz but run also into the boot loop.
 
This turns me down a little bit as I bought this expansive Ram with 3600 gear1 in mind. What could be the reason? Is my 11900k that bad?
 
How would you approach this issue?
 
Thank you!

Just checking, do you have the memory in the appropriate slots? please refer to the user manual, but I believe 2 and 4 are the slots you're looking for.
 
The IMC of each 11900k varies quite a bit it seems. So some definitely run memory better than others. That said, I'm surprised that 3600 won't run gear 1. That seems too bad for normal IMC spread. If you couldn't run 3733 gear 1 I wouldn't be terribly surprised, but many can do that if the RAM allows. If you take a look at the MSI chart here, they did a pretty nice job giving a clue of what frequencies should run easily or are harder to achieve based on the specific CPU's IMC capability. It does say 3400 won't run, but 3600 should be "easy" as well as 3466.
 
One other thing you might want to try is giving a slight boost to the voltage. I had to do that even on my 4000 kit to get it to run 3733 gear 1 (with very slightly tighter timings than XMP).
 
Here's the big memory thread we had going if you want to dig through what others tried and were successful with (and unsuccessful).
