Bluescreening with XMP enabled.

Puppetmaster · 10 Jul 2015 at 00:51

Upgraded my PC 2 weeks ago. Running this:

5930K @ Stock
Rampage V Extreme
16GB Kingston Predator 2666MHz https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-201-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=2554

When it is running @ 2133 with defaults in BIOS I have no issues. If I set XMP profile for 2666 or even 2400 my PC will bluescreen pretty quickly.

I tried upping the voltage to 1.36 (auto seemed to be around 1.34) but no change (I'm unsure of what is safe voltage for DDR4)

Can anyone help? I've not used XMP as my previous board didn't have it but I thought it was pretty much set it and go.

OK thanks guy will have a play around.

8 Pack said:
Reset Bios.
Boot
Into Bios
Set XMP, make sure for 2666mhz you are on 125 strap this is native multi. When you set XMP this should be set automatically.
Then set 32 multi for 4g
Cache 26 or similar so as to keep this in check.
Then
Core 1.2
Cache 1.2
SA 1.15
Vccin 1.85
Memory volts 1.35

In digi power set all the memory power delivery to optimised and maybe level 6 LLC.

Test.

XMP is not guaranteed to work no.... although at 2666 should be fine. But Intel give out XMP Certification to DDR4 3200 and 3000 for example which often don't even work on the socket they certify. So go figure.....

Thanks for those settings 8 Pack, will try those tomorrow

Managed to get it stable initially by dropping the timings by 1 and upping the system agent voltage.

Sorry to bump an old thread.

I never really got around to getting the RAM working @ 2666 and overclocking but have just started again.

I followed the settings in 8 packs above post. With those settings it would give me an IRQL error just after boot. Tried slightly changing a few things but nothing helped. I then decided to set cpu ratio to auto (thinking it would go back to stock) but it changed it to x37 @ 125 (giving 4.6GHz). I had also set the CPU Cache to auto as well. System seemed more stable, could actually run games but it eventually bluescreened on me.

I have tried upping cpu voltage to 1.25, changing cpu overclock, slightly upping all of the other voltages but nothing is helping. I am also running 1701 bios.

Any suggestions? Below are the bluescreens I am getting
