RAM Manual OC issue caused by XMP failure
RAM Manual OC issue caused by XMP failure
Hello everyone,
As mentioned in the title, I’m having trouble getting XMP to function properly on my PC, so I’ve chosen to manually adjust the timings to see if I can achieve better performance.
Previously, I was using a combination of two 8GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB systems and two 8GB Patriot Viper Steel units, configured for 2800 MT/s CL16-16-16-36 at 1.4V. I removed the Patriot set to boost speed, which is now running at 3333 MT/s CL16-18-18-38 at 1.35V. My goal is to improve timings further and potentially reach higher MT/s values.

Attempted using the safe se, but my memory controller clearly struggled. Even after setting XMP and raising the voltage from 1.35V to 1.4V, it still POST'd. Windows began displaying severe BSODs, making it impossible to log in, including an ntfs.sys crash. Now I'm lowering the clock speed to 3200Mhz with XMP timings, as the 3200G and B450M seem limited at higher speeds.

Eventually, I reduced the clock speed to 3200Mhz with XMP timings, but it seems higher speeds like 3200G and B450M aren't working well.
