Can't use 4 RAM RGB G.SKILL on my PC with XMP support
Hello, I'm experiencing a problem with my PC. It only supports running 4 G.Skill RAM slots in XMP mode, but it fails after just 2 slots. After about 6 hours or 15 minutes, the system crashes into a blue screen. The motherboard model is F4-3000C16D-16GTZR with G.Skill DDR4-3000 chips, all 16-18-18-38 types. It's an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E gaming ATX board featuring HDMI, DVI, M.2, and WiFi (802.11ac) with USB 3.1. If you need more details, consider adjusting the voltage somewhere. I've also downloaded the BIOS and updated it, and used the AI suite 3 for optimization.
I'm thinking about how using two sticks gave stability while four made it less so. Clearing the CMOS might help. Adjusting the VCO/SAA voltage to 1.1-0.2 and setting the gain to around 1.35 could work. Trying 2666/2933 or 3000 might be better. You could also test one stick at a time. Quick question—are you mixing sticks together?
@2003snowboarder clarified your question about XMP settings. It’s not inherently unstable, but stability depends on your hardware and configuration. For your Corsair Vengeance LPX, adjusting the DRAM speed to 1.35 and using a 2933 MHz clock can help. Follow the advice from @TofuHaroto for best results.
