XMP PROBLEM

[GeorgeM]

Hi,
I have a problem with XMP I updated the bios and all the drivers
My RAM is 4800 MHz
My RAM memories are connected to A2 and B2
When I enter the bios and put XMP 1 and try to go up to 6400 MHz (maximum), the computer resets and crashes I also tried to go up manually to 5600 / 5400 and I didn't succeed either
I did all the tests including MEMSTEST86 Everything is fine with hardware and connections
Do you have an idea why the computer crashes?

my setup:
i9 13900k , auros master elite ax 1.0 . corsair CMK32GX5M2B6400C36 . 4080 auros master . 1000W POWER

I haven't messed with ddr5, so I don't know the voltages off the top of my head, but you may have to go up on memory voltage it may not set it right in the bios which I doubt but sometimes it just needs more voltage, I would look up the ram you have and see what is the safe daily use max voltage and see what the bios settings are at.

it seems the tested voltage corsair uses is 1.4V

I've had success with XMP and DOCP profiles, but pushing RAM is often never as simple as just set it and go if you are trying to push the RAM to its limits, as @gingerbee said. There are impacts of changing voltages and settings, and that often takes a lot of iterations to find the stable happy place.

When you said you set XMP 1 and try to go up to 6400 MHz, do you mean that 6400 MHz is the speed you get when you set to the XMP 1 profile, or are you setting to XMP 1 and then trying to go higher manually?

Remember that setting XMP profiles changes more than just your RAM settings too, so you could be getting into a settings combo trying to reach 6400 MHz that your CPU doesn't like. Others more experienced in overclocking can correct me if I'm wrong there but I believe that's the case.

hmm I just built a new system am5 7600 and having issues I am wondering if its the ram currently doign the win11 ram diag my ram speed is supposed to be 6000 for some reason auto is detecting it at 4800 so I manually set it to 6000 left everything else on auto but when rebooted intop ram dia it immediately said hardware problems detected which I have know clue what that is have to wait but this post made me rememebr something from probably a decade ago when I posted on her someone suggested to check the voltages which in that case fixed my issue once I manually set it . another part of me is thinking that it possibly could be my msi board and the gskill ram not likely each other

if you just changed the speed and not the rest of the settings/voltage, that is why it won't run (you will likely never get 6000mhz out of any ram at jedec voltage). 4800 is the jedec speed. Either manually set everything, or just load the xmp/expo profile to get to the rated speeds.
