Aurora R12, Corsair RAM upgrade
I have an air cooled R12 i7 10700f and RTX 3080.
I first upgraded the air cooling into a Corsair H60, and things were fine.
Then, I swapped the case fans for a push/pull on the radiator two Artic P12 PWMs, and a Noctua NF-A12X25 on the front fan slot. The computer throws a fan error on each boot, which can be skipped by pressing Esc on startup.
Next, I tried installing Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB in Dual Channel. Now is when things start getting tricky.
For some reason, the system won't show any display. However, if I press F2 at start and enter BIOS, load default BIOS settings, change XMP to XMP 1(XMP 2 goes missing once I change the RAM), and click Save and Exit, the system boots and works well. So clearly the system works well with this particular RAM, but the BIOS doesn't want to let it Run?
I am using the latest BIOS.
Has anyone faced a similar issue with past Aurora builds? Is this something that Dell would eventually fix with a BIOS update?

There are currently some issues with the R12 that are being addressed with a bios update.
Pleas see this thread: R12 ram issues.
It's a pretty long thread, but it has some good information in it.

XMP wont work with any ole ram, CPU,ETC
Must be Dell validated.
10th Gen R12 shipped with 3200MHz memory.
Mixing vendor, speed, rank, voltage, etc is not supported.
Intel 10th gen Comet Lake-S supports up to DDR4-2933
Up to means it might go this fast not that its guaranteed to run that fast. DDR4 4266 ram will not force the CPU to run faster its marketing and a waste of money.
10th Gen Intel Core i3/i5 processors, it is limited to 2666MHz.
10th Gen Intel Core i7/i9 processors, it is limited to 2933MHz.

I have tried to add ram to my R12 with no success. Bought it with 8GB. Added another 8GB with no problem. bought another set of 8GB sticks to add to the other 2 slots. Will not accept, goes into a boot loop. went into BIOS, and the system changed the ram setting XMP2 to none. so I changed it back and still in a boot loop. took the extra 2 out and rotated them through to make sure none of the new modules were all good as long as i only had 2 in the white. any comments as to why it will not accept more? thanks

Is the RAM the OEM validated ram purchased from DELL, or aftermarket RAM purchased from somewhere else?
Also, 4 x 8 GB is not a validated configuration for the R12 and therefore not a supported memory configuration.

Try taking out cmos and power drain then put the ram in. Make sure it’s in the white slots. I use Corsair ram in my r12, there also won’t be a xmp2 option listed with Corsair but you should have xmp 1.

Do you mind sharing which ram you got to work in your R12? I have 3200mhz 4(16gb sticks) 64gb total. I want to upgrade to B die ram. Basically anything that would be better than what i have. My system is hurting on fps. I have the 3090, 11900f, and the ram I mentioned.

XMP doesn't HAVE to be Dell certified, Dell doesn't even have anything to do with XMP. With that though I've found that only 1.2-1.35v kits work stable on the r12 board and 3200-3400, 3600+ kits are hit and miss

Are you able to get the RAM to run in Gear 1 with correct memory controller speed on the Corsair 3200 RAM? I would like to do the same if this solves the gear issues

No it still runs in gear 2, gear is hard locked by the bios. But I do have much lower latency than the stock ram so it is a definite improvement

Rabbitdude, this is a longshot if you will ever see this, but what RAM did you upgrade to that gave you a better experience? the R12 is bottlenecking ram speeds so much, the motherboard is basically useless at this point. I would be better off getting a different case, psu, and motherboard to house the components unless I can find a RAM that plays a bit nicer.
Thanks
