I had already put the ram onto the motherboard. I put in all four dimms.

I then applied thermal paste and put the cooler on and screwed her down. Once the power supply arrived I wanted to do a test run out of case.

But just before first power up I decided to take out the red dimms and use only the t-force deltas, to make any trouble shooting easier at first.

The machine was immediately able to boot up and i got into the bios. After some time of studying the in's and outs of the new UEFI Bios, I had learned enough that I felt confident using it.
I wanted to get the bios updated, but in doing so i made a couple of mistakes, nothing critical, just things that made it take longer than it should have. First I didn't realize I had downloaded the wrong bios file. I could not figure out why it would not find the file. then I realized that the z370 has different models.....the pro4 i had downloaded was wrong. I had thought the /OEM part of the name was just that it was oem....but nope - part of the model name lol.

Once i had the proper bios, my next mistake was chosing the wrong boot.....i selected the usb drive when I should have been selecting UEFI Usb.

upon figuring that out the Bios began updating! wooohooo!

Look at this bad ass over here. Good work!

Read up on configuring XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) in the BIOS as well as running a full memory test with bootable memtest86 USB.

Remember, RAM is one of the most crucial parts of the computer, if things get corrupt in memory they get corrupt every where else.

Thanks! I've used memtest in the past and will do that now that you've reminded me.

I have the xmp enables and memory is running at 3000!
 
It's a good idea to run memtest, as the two kit are different (so do the timings).

Just curious to know which profile was loaded from xmp (15-17-17-35 or 16-18-18-38).

The CL16 kit may not be stable at CL15 timings if the later was applied.

that's where he'd go in manually to match them, right? boost voltage if necessary?

The xmp doesn't change the timings, uses 16-18-18-38.

Did a uefi reset and bit locker activated even though I had never turned it on. Doh!

How to install Windows 11 24H2 without Bitlocker encryption activated? - Microsoft Q&A

Hi! I want to install Windows 11 24H2 by upgrading from Windows 10 Home 64, or by doing clean install. The problem is that Windows 11 24H2 is encrypting everything with Bitlocker without my approval. How can I install it without this encryption? …

Yep. But it seems the CL16 profile was loaded, so everything should be fine without tweaking (unless memtest return an error).

Bitlocker is used as part of confidentiality controls, however it does pose a question of whether the user is prompted to backup the encryption key. If not, then user could be hosed on the next BIOS update.

Make sure you backup your encryption keys.
 
I try to remember to turn off bitlocker, but aren't the keys automatically backed up to the intial MS account it's initially registered to. (Assuming you're using an MS account).
