Installation
BIOS Setup
We used the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX-TB3 motherboard … Setup in the BIOS was super easy. All I had to so was to select the XMP 2.0 profile 1 and made sure the Memory Frequency was set to 3000 MHz. All other settings were left untouched on AUTO.
CPU-Z and SPD Information
CPU-Z reports the DRAM frequency at 1499.7MHz which is fine for DDR4-3000. Memory timings is also correctly reported at 16-18-18-36.
