[SOLVED] Does RAM timings matter with motherboard compatability?

[FrannyPanny]

I bought new RAM and my PC won't boot. I'm pretty sure the RAM is compatible but I'm wondering whether the timings are incompatible with my motherboard.

Motherboard: ASUS Strix Z270F Gaming

RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16gb 3600Mhz DDR4 Cl19-20-20-40

Timings go with JEDEC and XMP standards, if you reset CMOS it should default to 2133 or 2400MHz and than you can set XMP.

Tried resetting the CMOS about 3-4 times and it still won't boot. Here is the G.Skill RAM Configurator for my Mobo:

I can't find my RAM with the specified timings. A bit noobish with timings and I don't really understand how they work as I've never seen them as a problem or something particularly significant. So my RAM should be compatible?

Within DDR type they are all compatible, BIOS reads JEDEC and XMP profiles written in RAM control chip and sets itself according to those profiles. JEDEX values automatically and XMP profile you have to choose and enable.

Ah ok, so my motherboard should support all RAM JEDEC timings 3800Mhz or under. Thanks a lot

Yes.
