XMP Profile issues

[Eurotrax]

For months i've never been able to use the XMP profile on my computer to get the full speed out of my ram. I just installed the latest BIOS version on my mobo yesterday and still having issues.

 

MOBO: ASUS Z170-A 

CPU: i5 6600K

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series F4-3000C15D-16GVR DDR4 3000MHZ

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80 Plus Gold

 

Every time i turn on the XMP profile, when i go to restart my computer after saving the settings it just sits at a black screen doing nothing. Have to reboot it then turn off the XMP profile to make it work again. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get my RAM at the 3000MHZ speed?

 

Even if i try using the XMP switch on my MOBO it doesn't help.

 

I've also tried enabling the XMP profile then lowered the RAM speed to 2933MHZ and it boots fine, but then there's a horrible crackling noise in my speakers. My edifier speakers are hooked up to a schiit DAC.

Have you tried overclocking your memory instead of using an XMP profile?

not manually. Could try that. What settings would i use for that or find the settings for that?

The ram should have the timings on its website or product page, or even cpu-z shows you the XMP timings. The last time my XMP completely stopped working it was a failing PSU, not saying thats the case for you.

I tried doing it manually. Note that i typed 1.35 for the voltage and it then made it 1.3662. But still would not boot with these settings. Unless i've done something wrong?

 

Using the 15-15-15-35 timings from G.Skills website RAM Link

Even when I tried putting in the same settings the XMP profile had still wouldn't boot. 

 

Any suggestions for the settings if I should adjust them?

i would just run it at 2933 for now, the difference is not worth flashing ur bios for.

The only issue with running it at the 2933 frequency with my ram is that there's a crackling noise created then in my speakers which seems to be caused by the XMP profile. So don't know how to fix that. 

 

If anyone else has had the same crackling issues with their speakers with ram and have a solution to a fix.
