GSkill Ripjaws XMP causing BSODs

[choombamarine]

Hello everyone!

 

Long story short, got a 3070 to replace my 1080, my pc wasn't posting just rebooting constantly after 5secs. I got a 8700K that was at 4.9Ghz and a Vcore of 1.3v on an MSI Z370 Gaming Pro. That OC was working perfectly fine with the 1080.

 

I cleared the CMOS, updated the bios, my pc was back among the living again.

 

My GSkill Ripjaws DDR4 3000Mhz are the culprits (I think), every time I activate the XMP, I got BSODs in games. So right now, I could only reach a 4.5Ghz with 1.3v and at stock ram speed.

 

My PSU is a Bequiet 750w 80+ Silver.

 

I'm not sure what to do now, any ideas please?

What is their base speed?

2133Mhz 1.2v, the XMP brings them up to 3000 at 1.36-1.39

See if you can run them at 2666 MHz. I have no idea what voltage.

Was the XMP working with the 1080 installed?

I can't just choose the clock with the voltage, can I? Timings and stuff.

Totally, it was mighty fine. After I've got the 3070 in, it was rebooting constantly and I got it fixed by clearing the CMOS.

Update your CPU microcode. I was having the exact same issues as you due to my MoBo having an old (Pre-Spectre/Meltdown) Microcode integrated into the BIOS. This can be done by either updating your BIOS entirely or by using UEFI BIOS Updater (UBU) to take a preferred BIOS image and integrate the most recent MCU. If you've the time and the inclination I'd recommend going with the more manual approach with UBU as it can update Microcode and other BIOS components to a more recent version than is provided by the manufacturer. Now my whole setup is running far more stably and I've managed to even overclock my RAM to 3466 (the limits of my MoBo) beyond XMP.
