I received the NZXT custom build specs you mentioned. You're facing an issue where the system is stuck at 2400MHz and 1.2V, and you can't get XMP to work. The hardware you have includes DDR4 4000MHz and Windows 11 Pro. It seems like a CPL def isn't helping either. Let me know if you need further guidance!
Have you verified the RAM inside matches what's listed in the package? I've encountered mispackaged items before that didn't match the description. Also, be careful choosing XMP/EDOC settings to ensure you're making the correct adjustment and applying it in BIOS. Edited May 13, 2022 by An0maly_76 Revised
Ensure your BIOS is completely updated before attempting to adjust the XMP setting. The 4000 MHz frequency might exceed your CPU's capabilities, which could lead to performance issues. What outcomes occur if you proceed with setting XMP?
4000 is quite high and might not be compatible with XMP out of the box. You’ll need to adjust settings such as voltage or timing. I recommend checking the thaiphoon burner to find out what’s available—it’s likely a dead device, and there are many online profiles you can test. Personally, I’d prefer to manually overclock the RAM instead of depending on XMP with an internet guide, since not everyone wants to spend hours tweaking timings and RAM settings. Consider raising the voltage by 0.05V above what XMP suggests and see if it improves performance. If that doesn’t work, try increasing it again or adjusting VCC/VCCSA a bit higher. A safe starting point is around 1.4V, but you don’t need to go higher unless you’re an advanced user. Use as much voltage as needed without exceeding it. If the issue persists, you might need to experiment with other voltages linked to RAM timing or make further adjustments. For detailed guidance, look into a solid RAM OC manual or the Buildzoid community, which often provides in-depth advice. You can also watch his videos for background insights, though they usually run long sessions.
I'm not very experienced with this system, but when I pick XMP and save a profile it causes the screen to go black until the BIOS restarts. When I try to select it in the advanced settings, it displays that it's changing to 4000MHz, but I can't make the voltage adjust even though both the CPU and motherboard seem compatible with that speed. I'm considering getting a 3200MHz model from a better brand.
I've tried adjusting manually and it seems the voltage isn't updating until after loading. Once I reach an advanced stage, changing settings or using XMP should display the MHz change in the next column where the system updates. The screen showing current CPU memory remains stable, so that part doesn't shift. I'm going to check the buildzoid site for similar problems—many users report this issue but manage to fix it quickly. It looks like getting a high-speed memory kit might help, or maybe the custom builder from nzxt is too fast. For streaming and editing, 2400MHz could work, but I'm not sure.
Bios is running on f9a latest for the motherboard I've noticed others discussing similar problems with this setup, though manual adjustments aren't helping either. I'm certain my voltage isn't increasing, but I wonder if I'm experiencing one of those rare cases with a faulty memory kit. It's unclear if 2400 at 1.2V is sufficient for streaming and editing, so I'm unsure. If I can't push it any faster than that, I'm stuck. A 3200MHz kit might void my warranty, but if I'm not sure, maybe upgrading a few parts could be beneficial.
I’m a bit puzzled about what you mean. However, I’d set XMP to establish the required voltage and timing for stability (you can’t just alter the speed without tweaking the timing), then before saving and exiting the BIOS, lower the speed from 4000 to 3200 or 3600. After that save. This should provide the correct voltages and timing needed for 4000 MHz while easing the speed down to 3600 or 3200, which your memory controller should manage.
I've already attempted all those adjustments. Whenever I try to exceed 1.2vs, I end up with a black screen and get a 3200MHz signal. It looks like 1.2vs can't handle that frequency easily. I'm sure there are other voltage settings I need to tweak so the memory voltage can rise properly. Ran through SFC/SCANOW, everything seems fine, but I'm still testing for stress.
