Games crashing when XMP is on.

[Adam Khai]

I recently upgraded to Ryzen platform. I used default settings in the BIOS and I tried to turned on XMP to get 3200Mhz. 

 

I noticed my games are crashing, freezing and sometimes I get BSOD. But when I changed it to default 2133Mhz, everything is fine. 

 

I read somewhere that you have to manually set the timings, increase/decrease voltage or overclock your CPU. I am scare to overclock my CPU but it would be nice to get the maximum 3200Mhz for my RAM.

 

I use Ryzen 7 2700X, Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming and GSKILL TRIDENTZ (2X8GB) 3200Mhz.

Hi, 

 

I have the same issue, i have set my ram to 2800Mhz on a dual channel setup. I have found that i cannot achieve the full speed. I beleive that others had this issue and this is better in 2nd gen Ryzen, not sure there is a resolution.

Try setting your values manually. It could be that you just need to input them in this manner or relax them a bit.
