Hi! I am trying to get this RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18 Black Heat Spreader XMP 2.0 Desktop Gaming Memory Black: Computers: Amazon.com.au to work with this motherboard: ASRock > Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 The motherboard seems to detect the correct XMP profile, but when the XMP profile is enabled, the system hangs on boot and eventually reverts to booting without an XMP profile enabled. Using one stick at a time works, but only with stick A. Stick A only (1 x 16GB) with XMP enabled = boots Stick B only (1 x 16GB) with XMP enabled = no boot Does this mean stick B is bad? The RAM is rated for 3600mhz, and without XMP enabled will boot with both sticks just fine....but only at 2667mhz according to Task Manager. The motherboard seems to be proposing the correct XMP profile but alas, still won't boot with this setting enabled. I've tried manually setting the DRAM frequency to 3600, and nudging the voltage up to 1.4V, however it still won't boot. Motherboard has been flashed to the latest bios (4.30) The RAM is in A2 and B2 slots. CPU: Intel i7-9700k (stock) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18 Black Heat Spreader XMP 2.0 Desktop Gaming Memory Black: Computers: Amazon.com.au Motherboard: ASRock > Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 Any ideas would be most appreciated! Thanks

So I have been having problems with my XMP settings, I recently upgrading my GPU and memory, memory from 16gb Adata 2666mhz ram to 32gb 3600mhz corsair vengeance, This corsair vengeance ram is my second pair because the first pair that I bought was faulty and broke windows every time I tried to boot it up so I went to the store and got a free replacement and it was good from there. The thing is every time I turn on XMP it breaks windows and says "Your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart, we'll restart for you" and goes into a diagnosing your pc loop, luckily I created a system restore point so I was able to fix it but I have tried many different solutions to try and enable XMP and nothing worked. It seems that my memory doesn't go above 2133mhz, My motherboard is Gigabyte Aorus b450 Pro motherboard and I realise that the motherboard can only support 3466mhz but I though that if I turn on XMP it will automatically downscale to 3466mhz. I tried to set it manually with 3466mhz and tighter timing and 1.35 volts but it didn't work, my old ram was comfortably able to work at 2666mhz but this ram can only go 2133mhz. I have tried looking for solution everywhere and nothing worked. I am not that great with computers so if you told me to slowly rise speed with looser timings, I wouldn't know what I'm doing. I don't know if this information helps but I have a Ryzen 5 2600. i hope someone out there can give me a good rundown on how to fix this issue because I bought 3600mhz ram and I can't even use it to it's full potential. I hope I gave enough information and I will provide more information if necessary. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this and I hope I can get this problem fixed!

I have been having this issue for a couple months now on every boot ever since I got my 2nd kit of ram (I did a reorder, both kits are exactly the same) and I have tried a couple of different solutions with no luck. I have tried changing the cmos battery 3 times now, which does work for a couple weeks, but I get the same problem. I have also attempted manually setting timings and voltages (although I'm noob at that so it is possible I could have done it wrong), enabling High Frequency Support, and swapping around the sticks in the slots. No overclocking has been done on my system yet, besides XMP. I currently am only using 2 sticks with XMP enabled since I know the problem is having the 4 sticks installed with XMP enabled. I can have 4 sticks installed running at stock speeds but I don't want that (Duh.) It may also be worth noting that on the ram sticks themselves say specifically that they are INTEL XMP 2.0 ready, not sure if that has much meaning. Anything else I can attempt or should be aware of? I don't have extra kits to test.

Hey, as in the title, I have an issue with enabling the XMP profile. My specs: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite - RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 16GB/3200(2*8GB) CL16-18-18-36 BLACK 1,35V XMP 2.0 - GPU: ASUS RX 580 Dual OC 8GB - M2: 2x Adata XPG SX8200 Pro (512 GB and 1TB) - PSU: SilentiumPC Vero M3 700W 80+ Bronze Modular - OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit After enabling the XMP profile (3200 MHz, 1.35V) the system boots up to the login screen and after a few seconds crashes with the "Memory Management" bluescreen. I've tried searching how to resolve this, but it seems like I'm stuck. I read that the maximum official speed for my CPU is 2933 MHz (which the RAM is currently on, see image), but it should also handle 3200 on XMP. I have no experience with overclocking nor increasing voltages, so if anyone have any idea what might be the issue I'll be happy. Thanks!

Recently my computer has been randomly blue-screening and randomly not waking up from sleep. It seems that the A-XMP 1 Profile on my MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard is causing the ram to run unstable. The RAM I am using is F4-3600C19D-16GVRB. It's G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x 8GB) kits and I have two of them installed in my system. First I thought it was a BIOS-related issue and so I tried to update the BIOS using MSI's tool and I was unsuccessful and the BIOS ended up corrupting itself. Then I had the board RMA'd and they swapped it for a different unit. The new motherboard runs fine with A-XMP OFF but NOT when it is enabled. The RAM then causes the computer to blue-screen again. I then contacted G.Skill support and they told me that the RAM I had is "Intel-only" and that the only solution to my problem is to spend $175 buying "AMD Ryzen certified memory". Is there legitimately a difference between "Intel certified" and "AMD certified" memory, or is it just a marketing sham so they can charge almost double the price for the same memory kit? Also if there is actually a difference in the memory kits why do they hide this in the description of the memory kits? Also, PCPartPicker lists my memory kit as compatible with my motherboard, but according to G.Skill, it's not. In the reviews of my memory kit on Newegg it seems many other people have had this same issue as me and G.Skill hasn't updated their listing to state that this is "Intel-only" memory. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?

Hi folks, my first time posting here so apologies for any poor formatting, etc.. Cutting a long story short, I've had my Ryzen 3900X build running solid for over 2 years, and recently (After installing and playing the Battlefield 2042 demo which did NOT play nice with my rig) my RAM began acting up more than it origninally did. Now when I try to turn the XMP Profile on I get stuck in a bootloop that does not end (Left running overnight to see if it might pull through, no luck.) I can provide more in-depth specs of my RAM if needed, but my mobo is an MSI x570 MEG ACE and has been rock solid since I built the machine. My RAM of choice is the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB (32GB - 4x8GB) and it was a pain in the neck to get stable when I first built the machine, but now it's appeared to have deteriorated. Did I lose the silicon lottery or am I doing something wrong? I've been debating ordering some Samsung B-Die modules and tweaking them to optimal levels but if the cost can be avoided then I'd honestly rather that. Thanks for any input you guys have, its appreciated.

Hello everyone. I've just built my first PC and I'm having strange issues with the RAM. The PC has an i7-11700 (non-K), Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard, and 32GB of G.Skill Trident Z Royal RAM (2x16GB). I have not been able to get the RAM working at XMP speeds. The G.Skill website's memory configurator says this RAM will work with my mobo. However, Gigabyte's QVL for RAM doesn't list my RAM. But it does list other G.Skill RAM with the same timings and sizes. I'm not sure if this is correct, but I've read that the RAM chips are likely the same if they're from the same chip brand with the same timings, just under different styles of heat spreaders and LEDs. Also, I have another similar set of RAM that doesn't work with XMP either. This other RAM is a bit slower and cheaper, and has different timings. All the RAM seems to work fine at native speeds of 2133MHz at 1.2 Volts. All my CPU stats are currently at stock settings. The RAM I wish to use is: G.Skill Trident Z Royal (2x16GB). The XMP Profile specs are DDR4-3600 CL16 memory, with timings 16-16-16-36 at 1.35 Volts. The native stats are 2133MHz at 1.2V. These are Samsung B-Dies. The other, cheaper RAM I've tried is also: G.Skill Trident Z Royal (2x16GB). The XMP Profile specs are DDR4-3600 CL19 memory, with timings 19-20-20-40 at 1.35 Volts. The native stats are 2133MHz at 1.2V. Here is a list of everything I've done so far: ● I have tried XMP profiles on the RAM. This almost always results in a boot/config error. This is when I leave all the settings on "Auto". ● I have left XMP disabled, and manually entered all the XMP values. I can get it to boot with this method, once I increase the voltage to 1.36V. ● I have done a CMOS reset just in case any incorrect settings were carried over from the cheaper RAM. ● I have tried XMP enabled at voltages 1.33V, 1.34V, 1.35V, 1.36V, 1.37V, 1.38V, 1.39V, and 1.40V. The only ones that have gotten anywhere are 1.36V and 1.37V. ● I have tried just one stick of RAM, with similar results. ● I have updated the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest version. The cheaper set of RAM I have behaves similarly. I have always used slots 2 and 4 on the mobo, as the instructions say. Another strange thing I've noticed is that when I get it to work by manually entering the XMP values and setting it at 1.36V, Windows Task Manager reports that it's operating at 3600MHz, but CPU-Z shows it's only at 1733MHz (3466MHz). Why would this happen when I set it to 3600MHz (1800MHz)? When it does manage to boot to Windows, everything seems stable, although I haven't run any extensive memory tests yet. Can anyone offer any tips on what else I can do to try to get this PC working as it theoretically should? I've spent a lot of time researching and tweaking things, and I've made some progress. But I feel I'm at a point where I need to reach out and ask people with much greater expertise than I possess. Thank you very much for any help in advance.

I've using this setup for over a year, yesterday I updated to windows 11 it was fine but today I ran into an issue causing io error unpluging and repluging the SSD solved it but then when I launched COD warzone and chrome simultaneously it was laggy, when I opened up task manager the ram was at 2990 mhz and only 16 of 32 gb is available, tried updating bios, revert back to win10 , also going back to old bios, but xmp profile creates a power cycle and doesn't apply it, please help me solve it I was using 32gb and 3200mhz for a while but I dono what I made wrong.

Hi, I recently bought new set of RAM 4x8GB from Kingston new brand Fury beast, has 2 XMP profiles, one 3600mhz and the other is 3733mhz. XMP 3733mhz, is not working. It wont even post, regardless of what I do, voltages, low FCLK, loose timings...etc. all drivers and bios up to date. I tried the other way around, FCLK 1866 and no XMP, errors on all stress test also regardless of voltages. Not sure what is the issue, is it my RAMs, my board, both? My board is GB Aorus Elite X570 with 5600x. Currently on 3600mhz C16 with tight timings. Getting around 59ns in AIDA safe mode and 63ns in AIDA normal windows. Note that the RAMs are not compatible with the board.

Upgraded from Asrock B450 Pro4 M to Aorus B550 Elite AX V2. All other components same. Ram is Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 MHz 16 GB (8 GB x2), CL15 On my old asrock there were many xmp options available many of which would crash or fail to work but I was able to run the 3200 preset without any issues whatsoever. However on my new aorus there is only one xmp option and that's 3000mhz I have updated the bios, chipset etc and still no option for even 3200. Is this a limitation of this mobo or can I actually OC this RAM any more? Finally if I was to buy more ram would I be better to add another 16gb of the same ram I have now for a total of 32gb of j3000mhz or would it be better to have 16gb of 3600mhz ram. I mainly just game in 1080 and I have a ryzen 5 3600x

Hello I heard that "XMP" gives a realy good "FPS BOOST" becaus is puts the ram to right speed But taks manager says that my ram is already at 3200mhz(right speed)... I than looked into my bios and saw XMP wasn't enabled... SO SHOULD I ENABLE IT OR NOT

Hey guys, I know theres probably a lot of people with similar issues, and yes I have read through at least 5 other threads, but I dont see an example that is the same as mine. This is going to be long-winded, but I want every variable available so someone can maybe see a redherring I dont know about. I just built a new PC, Corsair 4000D airflow, 5600X on a 240mm AIO, RTX 3090 FE with thermal pads mod (only the backplate, not the repaste), 32gb (8x4) ram (rated anywhere from 3200-5000), msi x570 gaming plus mb, a corsair 850W power supply, and an absolute rats nest of RGB I was running for a while on stock everything, I think it has a factory overlock set on auto, but the ram keeps giving me problems (or at least I think its the ram) The computer runs smooth as butter *until* i attempt any kind of XMP. It aways defaults to 2666 when XMP is off (verified with CPU-Z). Both XMP profiles are set to auto 3200 MHZ, and whenever I enable it I get random chrome tab crashes, general unstable preformance (sudden slow downs) and it got so annoying that I just turned XMP off. I verified that my CPU supports up to 3200 MHZ, and so does the RAM, as well as my motherboard. I tried running the Prime95 stress test, but almost *immediately* on all 12 tests, it will give an error and say "Not Running" on all of the 12 windows. Some of them say Fatal Error, some just say error. I tried them on the Blender mode as well as the RAM intensive mode, and its just becoming a problem. i only encountered BSOD with my 2nd set of 16gb's, but those were defective and since i switched those out, it never BSOD'd again. Where should I start, or am I a moron who has done something obviously wrong? Edit: literally 1 minute after posting this, went to play some fortnite wit da bois, literally the moment i jumped i got a system crash, not a BSOD, just a complete crash and it rebooted itself into bios

Hello, I'm just got my first pc built for me by a friend, and in the process of selecting parts I opted for 3600mhz ram after reading motherboard reviews saying that the mobo would allow it. It was only after the pc was built that I realized that running the ram at its advertised speed of 3600mhz would be considered overclocking and void all warranties. I have a ryzen 5600x cpu and a b550 tomahawk motherboard. Does running the ram in xmp really put your system at any risk or am I worried for no reason? Any insight would be great.

Hello i recently build my pc and i cant figure out how to set ram speeds i tried everything and nothing works : Xmp, setting up it manually, combining settings,... Also with xmp i got 1500mhz and with manually 1400mhz i dont know if it helps but thanks to everyone who will try to help me.

Sorry for the stupid question, I just want to know which one I should do. Thank you very much.

Hi, just bought this pc: Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H410M-A Storage: Kingston NV1 500GB m.2 NVMe RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2933MHz CL16 Vengeance RG CPU: Intel Core i5 10400F 2,9 GHz 12MB PSU: Corsair CX550M 550W GPU: GTX 1080 msi SEA HAWK I built the pc, it posted and I downloaded windows 10 with help of a usb flash. The computer runs fine and I start to download things. Then after my first restart the computer runs but it gives no signal to any of my monitors. I suspect that it might be a ram problem so I went into bios and enables XMP profile1. This was supposed to set the speed from 2133 to 2933 but it does not work and same problem with no signal remains. There is one way for me to get signal but I don't understand why it works: I force turn off the computer. It then starts in safe mode and I can enter bios by pressing F1. There I can boot thru my windows boot manager on my main drive and it works fine. But then if I turn off the computer and turn it on again I get no signal and have to repeat. Please help, the computer is a Christmas gift! :///

I recently got the Legion 7i 16ITHg6 and am genuinely blown away by its power, however I was very un-impressed with the ram situation as I found the performance pretty unacceptable for the price of the laptop. Before even receiving the laptop I purchased the G.SKILL RipJaws Series 32gb (2x16GB) 3200mhz CL18 DDR4 F4-3200C18D-32GRS kit to replace the stock Samsung DDR4 3200 CL22 RAM. I read around for a while on unlocking the mythical advanced bios, tried all key combinations read every post watched every youtube I could find, all to no avail, it only worked on earlier models was the consensus. Then a random god send on the Lenovo forum sent me a link to a windows app that one click unlocks your advanced BIOS for most Lenovo laptops, within a minute I was into the advanced BIOS and boy are there a lot of options there! Including enabling XMP! https://www.win-raid.com/t9926f16-TOOL-Lenovo-H-Bios-Unlocker-and-Locker.html I hope this helps anyone else as it was driving me nuts having performance sitting on the table and not being able to use it. EDIT: I have since changed RAM to Gear Mode 1 for better latency, 83.9ns down to 64ns and +2/3% read write speeds. After using the one click BIOS unlocker for Windows the Advanced menu is available. Finally having XMP settings and many many more manual settings (I ended up selecting manual everything) The Stock Samsung DDR4 3200 @ CL22 RAM that came with the laptop - SLOW (Take note I updated BIOS and slightly different overclock from here on, it was unrelated and does not effect scores) The new G.SKILL 3200 CL18 RAM with basic BIOS and default settings, laptop only allows it to run CL22+ with basic BIOS. XMP Enabled with CL18 on the advanced BIOS! - FAST HWInfo64 Report.

As stated in the title. I bought the motheboard and a i7 12700k. Installed everything and the PC boots just fine. I also installed W11. RAM - Corsair Vengeance 4x8GB 3000Mhz. However, RAM is running at 2133Mhz in Windows. If I enable XMP my PC won't boot, or if it does it sometimes bluescreens, turns off by itself. I also tried to run Escape from Tarkov and it either froze on me or crashed. I thought it was my RAM acting up so I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic and it said was a hardware fault detected. Did some troubleshooting and I tried disabling XMP and now I don't get any faulty hardware detected in Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. Also the PC haven't BSOD since then. I looked at Gigabytes website and it looks like I have the latest version available of BIOS. Is it a BIOS-issue or is it that my RAM are too slow? I tried setting the speed manually on my RAM in BIOS but the PC wouldn't boot after. Not sure if I did it wrong, I just changed it back to normal and now it's back to running on 2133Mhz. Am I missing something here?

Title says all but heres my specs: CPU: 12600k OC to 5ghz-P cores, 4ghz-E cores MOBO: Asus Prime D4 Z690-P RAM: 2x16gb Vengeance LPX 3600mhz 19-22-22-36 (advertised timings) CASE: Corsair 275R Airflow CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 2 280mm GPU: Inno3D Compact 2060 Storage: 1x NVME 1TB samsung 970 1x 2TB Seagate HDD (sorry mods i didnt mean to post this here i meant to post in troubleshooting, was in a rush)

Since parts are scarce right now I startet my rig upgrade by purchasing 32 GB of Corsair Vengence RGB Pro 3600 MHz CL18 and put it in my old Asrock z170 Extreme3 for the time being. It worked strait out of the bock until I enabled XMP. Then it wouldn't POST. So I put my old memory in, turned XMP off, put the new modules in again and now it's working great but only at the "normal" 2133 MHz. What's to blame here? Is my motherboard not providing enough power for XMP and RGB at the same time? The slower RAM speed is not a problem for me right now but I'm scared that the issue persists when I buy a new motherboard processor combo. Thx for any help and happy new years.

As mentioned in the title. The ram modules are KF436C16RBK2/16 Kingston Fury Renegade 3600 CL16-20-20 16gb (2 X 8gb) and they support xmp and are listed on asus motherboard support page for this motherboard. Do I just try to raise the RAM voltage?

Upgraded CPU from Ryzen 5 3600X to Ryzen 9 5900X. Now the RAM when turning on XMP to 3600 it doesnt post, only can get it up to 3400hz, any higher it fails to post or get into windows. It tries to post for the set tries then reboots saying memory overclock failed load bios defaults. I have tried bumping the ram voltage up when going to 3600 but that didnt seem to change anything. System details are: CPU:From Ryzen 5 3600X to Ryzen 5900X Memory: 4*8g = 32GB G.skill Sniper DDR4 3600Mhz CL19-20-20-40 1.35V Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max BIOS v3.B (only newer one is beta version) Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 waiting for 3080s to drop in price Boot drive: M.2 Samsung Pro 970 500GB Windows 10 64 bit CPU has Noctua cooler on it so temp isnt an issue. RAM was running XMP fine with old CPU. What else can i try?

I'm at my wit's end at this, my PC has been acting so strange recently. When XMP is on, sometimes when I boot my computer cold (in the morning), I go straight to a BSOD with varying error messages. They include: PFN List corrupt Registry Error Memory Management Unexpected kernel mode trap (What failed: Clipsp.sys) WHEA Uncorrectable Error Attempted to write to readonly memory At first I thought it was a motherboard issue because I took the ram out, put it in another computer, ran windows memory diagnostic with xmp on, and it returned no issues but when I run it on my computer, it says hardware problems were detected. So I swapped the motherboard and reset windows, and the problem came back. I took it a step further and ran memtest86 on a usb but it ran 3 cycles and returned no errors. Yet when I booted it after the test, the problem showed up again. Could it be anything other than RAM? Ran a crystal disk mark check and my ssds were healthy with one ssd being at 97%. Ideally I would not like to buy any more hardware than what I need. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I recently upgraded to a 5600x, and I noticed XMP disabled itself, went to enable it and the pc stopped posting. - CMOS reset fixes the problem, but of course disables XMP. - XMP worked great before I upgraded (on 3600X). SPECS: 5600x, b550m Pro4 (BIOS VERSION 1.7), Ballistix 2x8 3600mhz cl16 (BL2K8G36C16U4W), AUROS P750W, CM HYPER212. Don't think it matters, but gpu is 3080, cpu temps are fine (auto oc from ryzen master + passed stress), I didn't change BIOS, ram slots are correct and seated well. What do I do... please help. Thanks. P.S edit: Win10 64bit

Hi everyone! I have an odd one for you and I hope someone can help. Firstly, this is a 8GBx2 Corsair Dominator Platinum kit. The XMP have been working for a very long time and it even shows XMP Certified on the packaging. I don't know what triggered this but all of a sudden inside the Bios XMP is grayed out and is on Auto so I cannot change it, it is also the most updated Bios version F61d for Aorus B450i Pro Wifi. On CPU-Z Memory tab it shows this CAS# Latency of 24 which is totally insane. Before this was only showing CL16 with an XMP OC of 3466 MHz. This is also what shows on the SPD tab for the 2 RAM sticks: You can clearly see that the one on Slot#2 does not show XMP 2.0 on the SPD Ext. The only major thing that I changed from the last couple of days is that GPU, switched from 1660 Ti to a 1050 Ti and upgraded the Bios version to the most latest one. Troubleshooting steps that I have done: 1. Switched around the RAM sticks. 2. CMOS reset.
