I acted on impulse and it led to a problem.
I'm still figuring things out about the CPU and motherboard. After some light research, I feel really disappointed. I attempted to apply my XMP settings on the RAM, but each time the system crashed during startup. My motherboard doesn't allow any overclocking for the 10th Gen Intel Core i9/i7 chips. I was told these processors don't support DDR4 speeds like 2933/2666/2400/2133 MHz. If I had used 11th Gen Intel Core processors, they would have supported much higher speeds—like 5333, 5133, etc. Up until now, I've only increased the voltage to 1.35 and set the frequency to 2933, which is better than the default 1.2v at 2133. Anyone have suggestions on how to achieve a stable overclock above 3600? I'm just starting out and want to avoid making mistakes. Please let me know if you need more details about my setup. If you're not able to afford the 11th generation or the motherboard, I appreciate your advice. Thanks for any help!
Remove the CMOS battery or connect the CMOS clear jumper bridge. This will reset the BIOS settings and resolve any issues. It’s best to select an XMP profile matching your RAM and keep it consistent.
I've handled everything and the MOB side is stable now, but I'm stuck on running XMP since the MOB rejects it with my 11th-gen Intel. Anyone got any suggestions on timing or workarounds? I'm really struggling to keep up in this hunt.
