Question Computer won't boot after enabling XMP ?

[AronChan]

Hi All,

I just upgraded my system and I'm having issues when enabling XMP for my RAM.

System Specs
Mobo: ASUS Rog Z790 Hero BTF
CPU: Intel i9-14900K
GPU: MSI RTX 4070 TI OC2 Super
CPU Cooler: Corsair H150 water loop
RAM: Corsair Dominator 6600 CL32 [4 x 48GB]
PSU: Corsair HX1500i PSU

I have updated all drivers to the newest version and BIOS is firmware updated to latest version as of today.

When enabling XMP in the BIOS the system won't boot (not even to BIOS). Regardless of using Intel Default or Asus OC settings.

Is anyone able to guide me what i am doing wrong here?

For the sake of relevance, what BIOS version are you currently on for your motherboard? Did you clear the CMOS after verifying the BIOS was successfully flashed to the latest?

I have cleared the CMOS several times since i cant start with xmp settings on. The motherboard BIOS version is 1801

Corsair Dominator 6600 4x48gb CL32

Is this bought as a kit of 4 or 2 kits of 2 sticks?

2 kits of 2x48

2 kits of 2x48

That's mismatched. Only RAM that came in the same package is guaranteed to work together properly.

Where do you need 192GB for?

Tinkered around with it. Reducing the speed to 5000mhz allowed the system to boot. i guess ill just have to find the sweet spot where i get the most juice without instability
