Hello. Currently i sold my Asus Z170-P and 6700K cpu.
And currently i will be changing from my Kingston Hyperx 2x8GB 2133mhz ( from old chipset ) to
G.SKILL 16GB 3000MHz RipjawsV CL15 (2x8GB) to get better performance on 8700K stock clocks.

I bought Asus Z370-PRO Gaming.

Memory compatibility list:

This rams i want to buy:

https://www.x-kom.pl/p/312567-pamiec-ram-ddr4-gskill-16gb-3000mhz-ripjawsv-cl15-2x8gb.html

G.SKILL 16GB 3000MHz RipjawsV CL15 (2x8GB) 1.35

So they are XMP memory right? I will be completing pc parts in next week. So if i boot pc first time to UEFI , it will revert rams to 2133mhz and 1.2v right? To get 3000mhz and 1.35v i must enable only XMP profile in UEFI,thats all?

I am scared about instability with XMP. There is a million topics with instability pc using xmp profiles and memtest86 errors. I dont wanna mess with voltages,timings etc. Just want all stable on stock.

But stability with xmp is guaranteed by manufacturer of this rams right?

So in my mobo 3000mhz is oc , right? So if i turn on pc first time they will revert to 1.2v and 2133mhz or 2666mhz? So 2666mhz is not oc, but 3000mhz oc? Can i have a stability problems with 3000hz when i change to XMP because this is oc?
 
Somebody said that i will be have stability problems on 3000mhz with that rams.

"You will have a stability problem with the 3000MHz, most likely.


I get things to run at the SPEED I plan to run them. This removes confusion.

The 3000MHz has the potential to Assign the TIMINGS for 3000MHz while trying to clock it at 2666 or less. Since the 3000 will be the XMP profile, you will have to manually set the Speed and timing in the BIOS. "
 
According to my mobo anything above 2666mhz is oc. So take 2666mhz rams or just 3000mhz and enable XMP? But like i said i am scared about this. Thank you for recommend.


Recommend me rams compatible with this board. I want to be sure that all will be stable. I dont want mess with oc or XMP. I read that XMP is OC and can cause issues. My 8700K will be on stock. What will be best choice for me?

List of rams compatibility of mobo:

So take:
https://www.x-kom.pl/p/312567-pamiec-ram-ddr4-gskill-16gb-3000mhz-ripjawsv-cl15-2x8gb.html

G.SKILL 16GB 3000MHz RipjawsV CL15 (2x8GB) 1.35

( enabling XMP )

Or just take 2666mhz ?


This is the last question. Thank you for patience.
 
Ok so i enable XMP :) Anyway what you mean "Selling 2133 ram and buying new 3000 ram in this climate makes 0 sense, massive waste of cash."

So you mean bump up my actual ram 2133mhz + ? Or performance difference?
 
Ok listen . So if that GSKILLS 2x8GB, ( 3000mhz XMP ) are cheaper 71 euro than this kingstons take Ripjaws then? But i will be must use XMP on them hoping it will be stable?

I don like mess in bios.
