Hi,

I'm trying to get my memory to run at its actual rated speed (3000mhz), if I enable the XMP setting in the bios and save and exit the pc will crash on boot and reset bios settings to default. I've tried selecting profile 1 with a slower clock speed (2800) which makes no difference at all. I've had a little play with voltage etc but it doesn't matter what I seem to do the pc will not boot, it just keeps resetting to factory settings. i'm obviously doing something wrong, can anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks

As you are running an MSI motherboard, instead of XMP, manually set your ram voltage to 1.35v, and try one of the memory try it options, whatever is closest to the speed and timings of your kit in that list, so probably 2933mhz, ive never had a problem running G.Skill's on any of my boards.

Yes its an MSI motherboard, I tried setting the voltage to 1.35v manually, after i saved and exited the bios the computer will turn off, turn on, turn off then reboot with the factory settings, it removes all cpu overclocks, custom fan speeds etc the whole lot.
 
What's the highest speed it will run at? Are you doing this together with the CPU overclock, or putting that back to stock first?
 
What Jamin said worked, i manually set the voltage to 1.35v and used the memory try it option on 2933mhz. The system is stable and there are no memory errors. CPU-Z has confirmed the settings have been applied. Thanks for the help.
 
Ive never had much luck with XMP either, no matter what ram brand. On my Asrock board it fails memtest with XMP enabled.

Sometimes you need to up voltages, sometimes the board's chipset just wont like it. Youll probably find it works fine in single channel but as soon as you add a second stick it fails because there is too much stress on the memory controller.
 
Hey guys, i might be having a similar issue. just built my pc couple of days ago and enabled the XMP.

I have the MSI Mortar Max motherboard with a RX 5700 XT (Ryzen 5 3600 - 6 core) and iv had a couple of crashes randomly already.

Could someone people explain how to change the voltage to 1.35 and 2933mhz? my ram memory is 16gb 3200

Just enter the bios, select the OC menu, scroll down and look for the memory try it option, when you click on it, it will give you a list to select from, select 2933mhz with timings closest to the timings of your ram (your RAMs timings will be on the sticker on the side of the sticks)

Next scroll down a bit further and you'll see an option for DRAM voltage, type 1.35v in there, now save and exit.
 
Sweet thank you.

when i click on memory try it the closest option i get is ddr4-2800 14-15-15-15-35

my memory sticks are

ddr4 3200mhz 16-18-18-38


I have changed dram frequency to ddr4-2933 and voltage to 1.350

FCLK Frequency is now auto on 1400mhz

FCLK should be half of your effective memory speeds.

There should be more option in that list than 2800mhz being the highest, you should have 2933, 3000, 3200mhz options and maybe even higher, when you get the list, try scolding down a bit, I have loads in my list.

Not the Taichi by any chance? Have to set it manually on mine 3633 will do but not 3600
