XMP only applies to an Intel system.

Leave the timings at where they are for now. If you have any strange blue screens or crashes then use your motherboard manual to find where to adjust timings and change the 1T to a 2T. That memory may run fine at 1T.

Also I believe that is 1.65v RAM so make sure the voltage is correct.
you guys are good. yes, i have X3 but when i unlocked the 4th core, unstable and have other issues as well so i decided not to unlock it. some were lucky to unlock it but mine...i just have to accept the fact that i have 3 cores running since running it with 4 cores is absurd if unstable.
