Question Corsair Dominator 3200 won't run XMP at 3200

[conurafx]

Hey all,

I have an Aurus Pro motherboard using the ram in the title, alongside a stock 9700k. For some reason, when I enable XMP Profile one it causes my system to crash. To get around this, I have set the system memory multiplier setting to 2800mhz, at which the system seems entirely stable. Honestly I don't really care about the extra 400mhz as for me I can't tell a different, but my question is, will enabling XMP Profile 1 and leaving everthing to auto, but lowering the system memory multiplier manually cause any problems?

Thanks

EDIT: So I watched some videos and decided to try it manually and now for some reason it is stable. All i did was this:

Memory frequency to 3200mhz
Timings as per the numbers on the chip (16-18-18-36)
Voltage at 1.35

I have no interest in OCing my CPU or the ram further, I'd just like it running as the normal speed. Is this all I need to change, am I missing anything?

Thanks

That is always the first step, entering timings and voltage manually. Sometimes the XMP is just messed up somehow. You shouldn’t have any more issues.

alternatively, if there is a BIOS update available that could fix the XMP issue.
But manually entering the speed, timings, and voltage is a perfectly fine method.

If manually entering things doesn't work and you stability issues at 3200MHz, then perhaps it is definitely in need of a BIOS update.

Thanks so much guys. I ran a few hours of HCCT and then MemTest and then a few hours of gaming and it seems completely stable.
