Unable to activate XMP on Asus B660-G using Kingston Fury DDR5 5600MHz.
Hi, your new Asus ROG STRIX 4070 Super is great. You received a 32GB Kingston Fury DDR 5600MHz RAM from a friend, which matched your existing setup, bringing the total to 64GB. However, XMP isn't enabled on the memory, causing the PC to fail to boot and display errors. You've tested all modules individually and confirmed XMP works when enabled. Previously, you used EVGA 1080TI graphics with 32GB RAM and XMP functioned properly. Turning off XMP resolves the issue, while RAM tests show everything is correct. Your current configuration includes: CPU - Intel i5-12400F, RAM - 64GB Kingston Fury DDR5 5600MHz (4 modules), GPU - Asus ROG Strix B660-G, Wi-Fi, PSU - EVGA GT 750W.
And will the distinction remain unclear if my processing speed drops to 4000MHz compared to 5600MHz? I don’t run heavy memory tasks on my computer. Light gaming (Destiny 2) and PHP programming are enough for me.
I'm not sure if PHP uses more RAM than faster RAM. I don't have programming knowledge. There might be a small slowdown when switching between 4800MHz and 5600MHz, but it shouldn't be a big concern. If PHP doesn't make better use of RAM, I'd probably run 32GB at 5600MHz while using 64GB at 4800MHz for gaming.
