XMP Help

[Smithy18]

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 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.
