System details: i9-9900k MSi z390 Gaming Edge AC 4x8gb Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz c16. The problem seems to appear whenever I activate XMP at the advertised 3200mhz, causing frequent BSODs with varying error codes each time. This issue started after a recent system rebuild, so I’m wondering if it might be due to physical damage on the motherboard. Interestingly, the issue only occurs at 3200mhz, not at lower speeds like 2933mhz. I’m curious if others have faced similar problems or if anyone has any advice. Thanks.

Four sticks are tougher to push overclock. You might adjust settings, like using cl17. You could also use just two sticks in slots A2 and B2. Edited October 31, 2023 by leclod

Four sticks presents a greater challenge, with the top non-overclocked speed for that CPU's memory controller reaching 2666.

Seriously? I've been using it at 3200mhz for a year with camping gear, and there have been no issues until I upgraded the PC.

Understood. I'll try both choices.
