The computer fails to start when choosing an XMP profile, including screenshots.
Hello Overclockers,
I recently completed an upgrade from an FX-6200 to a FX-9590 and installed a Corsair H80i V2 Liquid cooler. Everything is running smoothly with good temperatures. While browsing userbenchmark, I learned to enable WMP. After entering the BIOS, switching from auto to XMP Profile and saving exited me with a black screen. Restarting would also yield the same issue. I suspect the problem lies with my motherboard, CPU, or RAM support. I’m uncertain if I need to manually adjust settings in the BIOS instead of relying on the automatic option.
Even though I just upgraded the CPU, I’m eager to finally start overclocking this PC. Built it back in 2013 and want to maximize its potential for music production. Here are my specifications:
Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Pro
16GB Ballistix Tactical 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model BLT4G3D1869DT1TX0
AMD FX-9590 Vishera
I also noticed in the BIOS that my RAM is set to 1333 instead of 1866, which is puzzling.
Attached are some screenshots from CPU-Z.
If anyone can assist in getting XMP and my RAM to reach 1866, I’d really appreciate it. Then I can confidently ask AMD overclockers for guidance on optimizing my machine for music production. Thanks for your time!
Does your BIOS display the XMP configurations when you apply before saving and exiting? If yes, I would enable XMP and increase the voltage slightly. I'm not familiar with AMD settings, but I'd try adjusting the DRAM voltage to around 1.55 instead of 1.5. Additionally, a minor adjustment in the memory controller voltage might help.
No changes were made to the voltage. The PSU brand and model details remain unchanged.
Wow i saw a email saying someone replied while half asleep at 6am. Then hunted down what my PSU is until 7:30am. Big mistake!
I should just went to bed and popped my case open tomorrow when I woke up but anyhoo, here's my PSU info. By the way I never changed the voltage, I only kept it on auto. What voltage should I try and change it too?
PSU = Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 800W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Gold
Model # RS800-80GAD3-US
ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.92
Modular
80 PLUS GOLD Certified
90 - 264 V 47 - 63 Hz
+3.3V@22A, +5V@25A, +12V@65A, [email protected], [email protected]

Yes, AMD use AMP terminology similar approach to intel XMP,
Update BIOS, roll back to SPD values, tune down timing latency (CAS, RAS,...) by 1, get to the value where unstable system met, increase MHz with lowest timings. increase voltage by .25 where unstable setting occur.
Thanks for your response. It does seem like a significant amount of work. I'm wondering if it's even worth attempting. Could you share how much faster things would be with an XMP Profile? Also, what should I focus on first if I decide to proceed? Should I start by entering my RAM specifications manually?
