Ram instabilities with XMP DDR5 Any help for Making it work ?

[Gaz1998]

So I’ve enable Xmp recently on my ram as it can go up to 6000Mhz with the default xmp profile and have noticed instabilities like games crashing etc I was wondering if anyone had any advice or knows how to manually do the overclock? As I’ve heard Xmp and ddr5 is not very good and my motherboard is all up to date .My pc Specs:
7700x
Dark Rock Pro 4
MSI Pro B650-P
Kingstone Fury Beast 2x16gb 6000 cl40
Samsung 980 pro 2TB
Gigabyte Eagle 4080
Corsair RM1000x
Corsair 4000D

With the ram set as xmp profile one this is the timings etc DDR5 6000Mhz 40-40-40-80 1.350v

Any help or advise will be much appreciated.

Could it be that the mobo supports AMD EXPO and not XMP?

If this is the case, see if you can swap for this.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF560C36BBEK2-32) (SKU: MY-29T-KS) = £139.99

Total: £147.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

​

Also. Going by the spec of the mobo, if the RAM is dual rank it may only be stable at 5800MHz.

4x DDR5, Maximum Memory Capacity 128GB
Memory Support DDR5 6400+(OC)/ 6200(OC)/ 6000(OC)/ 5800(OC)/ 5600(OC)/ 5400(OC)/ 5200(OC)/ 5000(OC)/ 4800(JEDEC) MHz
Max. overclocking frequency:
• 1DPC 1R Max speed up to 6400+ MHz
• 1DPC 2R Max speed up to 5800+ MHz
• 2DPC 1R Max speed up to 6000+ MHz
• 2DPC 2R Max speed up to 4000+ MHz

Supports Dual-Channel mode
Supports non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Supports AMD EXPO

Should point out that i have no experience with DDR5 and am only going by what i read.

Try increasing the voltage to 1.4v and test again. Don't go over 1.4v that's the max safe

While I don't have to use 1.4v, I had to increase my 1.3v XMP kit to 1.35v to get it stable with my 7950x

run everything at stock first - if everything runs fine then probably safe to say it's not a hardware related error
update bios - may help with better memory compatibility
enable xmp/expo
if still not stable - up the RAM/IMC voltages
if still not stable after - you have a lemon CPU

Thanks for all the replies. as for the voltages and that Should I only change ram voltage or is there more than that to change when changing the voltages ? My first pc build btw and I’ve never touched bios bar enabling xmp.explain as you would to a 10 year old

First off, just double check that the ram voltage is actually being set correctly (and I'd set it to the recommended voltage, even if you run the RAM at 4800, 5200 or whatever), because that's not always the case. I wouldn't change any other voltages until you're sure you need to try it.

No expert but would definitely say update your BIOS if you haven't already
