XMP - Not working

skeletonw00t · 30 Jul 2016 at 19:01

Hi,

I recently purchased:

Gigabyte Gaming 7 mobo
Intel 6600k i5
16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz ram

I am trying to enable XMP in the bios but it just crashes when I do.

Do I need to do anything special to make my memory run at the speed it's meant to?

on boot.

but isn't the XMP just the standard setting for this ram?

yes it works fine

Thanks,

Is there any real-world material benefit of increasing the RAM Mhz anyway?

It won't load on the XMP profile 1 (only one available) - but I guess I can just try manually adjusting the multiplier & voltage if needed...
