Good day everyone,
I own an Asus Z370-E gaming motherboard paired with an i7 8700k Intel CPU, an EVGA SC2 1080 Ti graphics card, and an 850w GQ EVGA PSU. This system was built by cyberpowerPC and originally came with 16gb ADATA RAM at 3000mhz. I removed the RAM and installed four Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB sticks, with two per pack. So far everything is functioning well, though I occasionally encounter a blue screen when launching demanding software. The default JDEC setting is 2133mhz, but I’m wondering if keeping XMP enabled continuously is safe.
I entered BIOS and applied the stock Corsair profile, enabling XMP. My RAM sticks support up to 3000mhz, and I confirmed they are rated for that speed. When I toggled XMP in the EZ screen, did it affect the voltage? I don’t intend to manually overclock and prefer using the defaults set by Corsair or ASUS.
My questions are:
1. Is it safe to keep XMP enabled all the time?
2. Does enabling XMP change the voltage requirements?
3. Why do I still see occasional blue screens during games like Call of Duty Black Ops 4, even though I recently updated the game and fixed other issues? I suspect it might be related to my Norton Antivirus, which sometimes caused problems before I removed it.
