Enable XMP cause boot failure.....HELP

[KaLaNSWING]

I having problem when I open XMP in BIOS, the motherboard DRAM error light up and won't boot, when I clear CMOS, the system can normally boot.

So here is what happened, I just build my pc yesterdays and I turn on the XMP profile, everything go well. Until I get a Bluetooth and I found this post :

 

I try out the method mention in the post and the computer didn't boot (while all rgb on the ram and motherboard light up but keyboard, mouse didn't)

So I open up the case and saw the DRAM error indicator light up and sometime the CPU error indicator flash for a moment, I suspect there are something go wrong with the ram stick

after I try resit the ram in different position, it didn't work. So I clear CMOS, and the system can enter the BIOS this time, so I did the same thing again.

Set the XMP on, and the DRAM error indicator light up, the system didn't boot. After I clear CMOS again, the system boot again. So I'm pretty sure it is the fault of XMP or bad ram(?)

But then I confused, why can I run XMP for a whole day but after doing the replug of power cable (the reddit post), the ram can't even boot after enable XMP, or there are actually any other reason causing this?

anyone facing the same problems or know how to solve this? Please Help.... (sorry for bad english)

RAM : G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 3600 2*16 Kit (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC)

GPU : ASUS ROG STRIX 1060 6GB

You bought the wrong kit of memory for this setup.

 

F4-3600C16D-32GTZN without the C at the end is the better G.Skill kit for this frequency.

 

You won't get XMP to work with this kit easily unfortunately.

 

Alternatively, you can try XMP enabled but manually set Dram frequency to 3200mhz and see if that works.

I see thank you!! I will try that out, and is it necessary to buy the best one in that frequency in order to enable XMP? or else it need to decrease the frequency manually?

The kit without the "C" at the end is quality Samsung B-Die and typically the most flexible when overclocking.

Even still that does not guarantee XMP will post straight up without some memory training along the way.

 

The Cpu supports up to 3200mhz, so thats a sure shot place to start with overclocking Zen 2 and 3 chips.
