Don't proceed with that. Test each stick in slot A1 to identify any issues. If everything checks out, apply the default board settings since voltage variations shouldn't affect performance.
All RAM must meet specific performance levels and timing requirements. These standards are established by an organization known as JEDEC, which is why they are widely recognized as JEDEC timings. For DDR4, 3200 represents the highest standardized speed, while lower speeds such as 2133 are still frequently used. Intermediate speeds like 2400, 2667, and 2993 are also common. According to JEDEC specifications, any RAM can be interchangeable when used correctly. XMP deviates from this by adjusting the speed and timing of each RAM stick individually. When mixing different RAM types, XMP combines their speeds and timings, which may lead to compatibility issues and unexpected problems (for example, a system might refuse to boot even though both sets support XMP 3200).
Ram will start at standard speeds without XMP.
Intel CPU performance isn't affected by RAM speed, so it's best left alone.
To achieve the intended speed, overclocking is necessary.
XMP retrieves the needed configurations built into the RAM modules.
With your high-speed RAM, each stick may have unique XMP settings.
It's unclear which BIOS will apply them.
All RAM must adhere to consistent parameters like CAS and voltage.
Choose a configuration from one stick, use CPU-Z to check capabilities, then set those values in the RAM settings.
Increasing the voltage slightly often resolves the issue.
