I frequently encounter an AC error on my board when booting with XMP activated. The system runs normally under default settings but operates at 2133 MHz for RAM. The BIOS is up to date. I’m worried about a dead dimension slot! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, 8700k asus maximum hero x corsair vengeance 3600mhz

Can an 8700K handle RAM that operates so quickly? Simply increase the DDR4 voltage to around 1.4V if it’s only 1.35V, then focus on motherboard support and timing settings.

3600MHz isn't that quick, but it can work. There could be an issue with the XMP settings or your motherboard configuration. Set the same frequency, timings, and DRAM voltage as in the XMP profile yourself. Also confirm the DRAM modules are placed in the correct slots.

Thank you for your message. I note that you're using 4x8GB sticks and plan to test everything.

It's tougher to operate 4 sticks at faster speeds overall. You may want to reduce the speed by about 1-2 steps from the XMP setting and test if it starts at 3200mhz with XMP active.

Adjust the settings by hand using the instructions provided on the device. Skip XMP and follow the manual steps directly.

It looks like the cooling system is still reporting an error even after checking all possible fixes.
