Best stable ddr4 3000 with xmp profile

[elkido122]

I plan on getting on ddr4 ram at 3000 and running it with my msi Z170a gaming m5 using xmp to make it go to 3000. I currently have Corsair lpx ddr4 in xmp at 3000 but feel it's not stable in xmp and getting page fault in non pages area is cause of this ram at 3000 not liking xmp. I do not have anything changed with the cpu either, everything stock there. Anyways is there at better more stable ram at that speed like Gskill or something? Thanks sorry for the ramble on

I have had Corsair LPX 3000 stable without a problem, for quite a while. I'd guess something else is causing the problem, and changing the RAM probably wont help.

 

[elkido122]

Well what could it be then

 

[Multipack]

Probably corrupt system files or memory cache etc. Its hard to say without doing more diagnostics really.

 

[elkido122]

And how would I fix either one of those

Firstly you need to identify the problem I guess. The best thing to do would be to go through this guide and see where you are then https://turbofuture.com/computers/What-Is-Page-Fault-in-Nonpaged-Area

well considering i have a m.2 nvme ssd will chkdsk even work?

I have to admit that's an awesome question lol. I have never tried it myself, and I have one too. You could at least check the status of the drive for I/O errors, SMART status etc. What model is it?

Do you have your OS installed onto the NVME?

You could still run some memory diagnostics though.

 

[elkido122]

Intel 600p. Got any good programs for checking for io errors and the other things you listed. My drive is name and yes the OS is installed on it

For sure https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26387/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-Toolbox?v=t

Try running a Windows Memory Diag from Control Panel too. Its not the most thorough way but at least it wont take all night like memtest will - Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Windows Memory Diagnostic

 

[elkido122]

guess my SMART feature isn't enabled. now to figure how to enable it

 

[Multipack]

Not enabled?

 

[elkido122]

intel program said it wasn't enabled and wouldn't let me run the test lol . i used hd tune and it did an error check and it came back all green. so im lost now as to what it was.. maybe at times the ram didnt like being in xmp at 3000? right now its doing ok, i have no idea if that is because 3 days ago i reinstalled windows. who knows

It sounds to me like there isn't a problem, and if there is then I am lost. Page fault errors are usually related to OS memory and often resolved with a reboot, but you need to clearly outline the issue as it seems to be transient and I am not sure what I am supposed to be answering lol.

 

[elkido122]

Well I mean the ssd is fine it appears, the ram on memtest after 2 hours had zero errors. So Idk either. Weird

 

[elkido122]

Also I appreciate you helping me out on this. It's not easy I know

 

[Multipack]

Seems like there isn't a problem!

..?

 

[elkido122]

Page fault in non paged area is a problem isn't it

 

[Multipack]

If you still get it yes. If it was a one off, no.

 

[elkido122]

what if i get it and i know that my ram and ssd are still in good shape? then what my ram not stable at 3000 or something

 

[Multipack]

The RAM will run at 2133MHz unless you enable XMP, but 3000MHz will be stable with that board.

I have exact same RAM and and MSI M7 (hover over my avatar)

 

[elkido122]

pretty similar specs to mine actually.

 

[Multipack]

Thats why I know the RAM should be ok, and I am the right person to speak to about it lol!

 

[elkido122]

So don't sweat it. I assume if it happens again that it's either ram or my Intel 600p.
