Hey guys,

I mentioned in a previous thread, I had trouble getting my computer setup. Now its done.

My issue was though once I installed W10. My PC would crash, then reboot, anything from 5 seconds into Windows or 2-3 minutes in..

I decided to enable XMP in the BIOS for my RAM, and since then it seems to have stabilised?

Do I return and replace now, or just monitor the next couple of days..?
 
Nevermind any of that:
RMA this RAM
Now that is a thread heading!
No link to your previous thread, but XMP is often not possible and it could just as easily be the CPU or motherboard which is at fault rather than the RAM.
3600 RAm is an overclock for a 10600k so it or the CPU's IMC may just require more volts.

Whats your specs? as above its hard to say, xmp boosts ram from 1.2v to 1.35v and soc on ryzen from 1v to 1.05-1.1v. The fact it runs stable on xmp and that jedec timings are sloppy points toward the imc on the cpu.
 
XMP is a stupid thing.

When I've previously bought high end XMP specced ram, it would never manage to run at its XMP profile.

When I buy generic crucial 3200 Mhz that happened to be Micron E die, hello 4200 CL16 top 1% ram.

Its never the ram thats the problem, but the motherboard and CPU's IMC.

JayzTwocentshad this problem. I think he resolved it with a BIOS upgrade.
