XMP problem. 8700k, 3200MHz C16 RAM
Are the XMP configurations aligned with the RAM that came in? Could require additional SA or IO. No stability tests performed on RAM, whether original or XMP adjusted? XMP can be inaccurate; manual setting adjustments might help.
I didn't. It functioned well on my Maximus VIII Formula, so I assumed it would too. I'll need to verify when I get home. Now considering the settings, it was configured for profile 1 instead of profile 2. Would that have caused a problem? I'm certain the RAM supports XMP 2.0, which means profile 2 isn't necessary. Profile 2 seemed reserved for more extreme adjustments.

I didn't.
It worked on my Maximus VIII Formula so I assumed it would work on my Maximus X Formula. I will have to check when I get home.
Now that I think about it, it was also set to profile 1 not profile 2. Would that have been an issue? I'm pretty sure the RAM in question uses XMP 2.0... Does that mean profile 2?
Need to consider IMC on new CPU also.
If you have profile options I would try them out.
Here is a great thread for memory stability and settings,

OMG... I just found this on Corsair's support page while checking compatibility with the Vengeance RGB for my MB....
I'm really upset now...
"We provide a pair of XMP profiles instead of just one for users who need to adjust the power usage of the memory. The first profile runs the DDR4 at its standard 1.2V, whereas the second increases the speed but raises the voltage to 1.35V. The first profile is officially supported, while the second isn't and instead sets a default performance level."
It's profile 2. It seems they automatically selected profile 2 on my previous board because it consistently ran at 1.35v, not 1.2v...
That's why they think I'm EpickFa1L...
EpIckFa1LJoN will handle it when I get back.
My particular kit isn’t listed on the new board’s QVL, nor was it on the previous one either. It performed okay as far as I remember.
Could there be a reason?
It’s usually best to stick with QVL, but on my Asus z170 Ranger, the Gskill ripjaws 3200 cl14 weren’t in the list. I fixed them by adjusting SA and IO.
Before that, I used Trident Z 3200 cl14, which were on QVL for this board, but XMP settings didn’t work.
On a new platform, XMP issues pop up—sometimes you need to manage things yourself.

"We provide a pair of XMP profiles instead of just one for users who need to adjust how much power the memory uses. The first profile runs the DDR4 at its standard 1.2V, whereas the second offers a faster speed but increases the voltage to 1.35V.

It's profile 2. It must have selected it automatically on my last board because it was consistently running at 1.35v, not 1.2...
That's why they call me EpickFa1L...
Everyone around here says the typical issue with people and their computers isn't the machine itself, but what's behind the keyboard.
Biglizard shared his surprise after finding something on Corsair's support page about compatibility with the Vengeance RGB for his system. He expressed frustration and mentioned that the support team includes two XMP profiles for memory control, with the first supporting DDR4 at 1.2V and the second offering a higher speed at 1.35V. He believes the second profile was automatically selected on his board due to its voltage setting, which is why he feels misunderstood.
