DDR4 3200MHZ and XMP Profile

[maklabouhlel]

Hello, I just bought a 2x8gb kit of Corsair DDR4 3200Mhz ram. I'm running it in the system mentioned in my signature. Although at 3200mhz memtest passes, prime95 fails so I reduced it to 3000mhz and now all is good. My question is should I enable the XMP profile first before manually setting the frequency and timings or should I disable the XMP profile first and enter the frequency, timings and voltage manually?

I've seen so many ppl have issues with this high frequency DDR4 that are fixed by turning off XMP and setting it manually. It's a bit of a joke at this point.
