RAM Help

[Dvadii]

My ram doesn't run its advertised speed with XMP enabled. Can anyone help me change the values or whatever to what may help?

 

If I enable XMP and use the profile given on my motherboard, my pc crashes or doesn't boot. 

 

Advertised speed is 3200 Mhz

 

i5 8600k

Asus Strix ROG 370-H Gaming

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB

Ram you listed runs at 2400Mhz, it doesn't support XMP.

Hmm weird, I've only seen 2400 version. Have you tried manual OC, checking timings, voltage?

I'm very unfamiliar with that stuff, that's why I'm here to get help. Where should I start?

First I would check if RAM is supported by your motherboard. Its a common problem with certain DDR4 ram on supported by the motherboard.

According to G.Skill's site, my mobo and ram is compatible.

try to bump the voltage a little bit and see if that helps

By how much?

The XMP spec voltage is 1.35V.

Before you do anything else, make sure the voltage is set to 1.35V when you enable XMP -- stock JEDEC is 1.2V.

 

If that doesn't work, THEN proceed with increasing the voltage -- something like 1.37V, 1.38V, or up to 1.4V.

 

To rule out any any variables, make sure nothing else is overclocked (e.g. CPU).

I raised it to 1.3650 and i think it worked, it is yet to crash but even if it does! THANKS so far, all good!
