So I;ve asked before but I still cant seem to get my RAM clocked to the intended 3200mhz its capable of running on. But everytime I even attempt to turn XMP on it instatnly blue screen until I turn it back off. Is there something Im missing or doing wrong? All my components are capable of OC and compatible. Not sure where to go from here.

I have had MANY rigs over the years. I have had more than one where memory would simply not run at their rated speed in System A...but would in others.

In those cases, after satisfying my curiosity, I dropped the speed back a notch to have stable systems.

Nope. Just select the 3000 XMP profiile. Don't manually tweak anything afterward. You could inadvertently cause instability.

When you select a profile, settings should be automatically adjusted.
Seems to be working at 3000mhz , no blue screen yet after 2-3 minutes :eek: is there a way to stress it to find out?
