Received my new 4000mhz HyperX Predator today, swapped all four sticks in my 3200mhz Trident Z. Any adjustments needed in the BIOS? My system starts up fine but restarts after about an hour or so (twice). Think RAM settings might be misconfigured. Quick tip: there are two XMP profiles—selecting Profile 1 shows DDR4 3600mhz with timings, but Profile 2 doesn’t appear. Hope this clears things up!

Clearing CMOS might allow the system to recognize the second XMP profile. A 4000MHz configuration should be set there. The 1.4V is for memory voltage, not VCCIO. Raising VCCSA and VCCIO can aid memory operation, but keep them at max 1.3V and 1.25V respectively. This setting isn't typically required just to run Intel CPUs at 4000MHz; it's more common for higher speeds like 4266MHz+, though some may use it or push even faster timings such as 3600MHz CL12.

Thanks for the update! I just finished learning about CMOS and will move on soon.

I changed the CMOS settings but the profile 2 remains invisible.

You mentioned Profile 1 operates at 4000MHz in your initial message.

Before resetting CMOS it was at 3600, now it's 4000—still good. I'm wondering what Profile 2 does.

It's conceivable the bios is intentionally set up to detect two XMP profiles even though only one exists.
