Dumb memory question

[Felon]

Just put some Teamgroup 3200-CL14 DDR4 into my 12900k system, if I set the XMP profile to it's standard value it won't post.

However, if I go into the memory settings and manually enter the values for the frequency, voltage and timings - is there any difference between that and XMP?

have you tried a bios update as McNumpty suggested yet?

Yeah I'll get on the latest Bios tonight actually.

I was going to do that anyway, I was just curious to know what the actual difference is between using XMP vs entering the values manually, because there clearly is a difference I just don't know what it is.

Yeah so I updated the bios - no change, won't post with XMP but will allow me to enter the values manually..

It's pretty normal for new stuff

Yeah no worries - i'll keep checking for new Bios's and give it a go, system is running awesome anyway, I was more just curious about the differences,,

But all good
