When I started assembling my first PC, I searched for ways to configure BIOS and watched numerous videos recommending enabling XMP or DOCP to achieve the maximum speed of my RAM. I followed those instructions, but to my dismay, my system kept looping until it entered safe mode. I've experimented with two different motherboards and two distinct RAM kits without success.

When a2 uses xmp with xmp and b2 fails, it suggests two different motherboards, indicating the issue might be with the cpu, maybe due to a hidden bent pin.

Ram should occupy the 2nd and 4th positions on the CPU when they are not. The docp has been updated to set the DRAM voltage to 1.35v prior to restarting. If issues persist, manually tweak frequency, memory primary timings (following the specs in the cpuz speed timing table for XMP column), and DRAM voltage to 1.35v. Disable fast boot if necessary.

My RAM sticks are installed in the A2 and blocks slots on my motherboard.
The BIOS indicates 1.35 volts when saving and restarting, but it sometimes drops back to 1.2 when I return from safe mode.
I used Drm Calc to configure manual timings for 3200MHz if that's what you meant.
Fast boot is disabled.

Returning to 1.2v with default options since the OC failed. Test one stick in A2 only.
The cooler shouldn’t be too tight if it matches those designs—tighten finger and turn half more using a screwdriver.
Is the Cmos battery on the top side?
Dram calculator shows values it doesn’t enter in bios; you need to handle it yourself.

I also attempted to put one stick in A2 only and it works fine
I have an AMD Wraith Prism, so I’m unsure how to adjust it without it detaching
The CMOS battery is facing up
I’ve tried changing the timings and voltage manually, but nothing alters the outcome. It keeps looping, and I need to take out the trash hook.

Only one stick, either Gskill or Corsair in a2, is compatible with xmp speed.

I think the corsair is correct, but I haven't tested the trident z with a single stick in the XMP.
