[SOLVED] Problem with XMP profile for GSKILL 32GB 3600Mhz

[n0e83]

My current setup is:

• MSI Z590 PRO
• Intel I7-11700K
• GSKILL 2x16GB 3600Mhz CL16

Unfortunately, I can't really set memory higher then the default (low) value (2133Mhz). PC won't boot when loading XMP profile. The question is how could I set it to achieve as close as possible to this profile?

My settings:

Can you show screenshot from CPU-Z - SPD section also?

Essentially you have to do manual ram overclocking.

1. Switch BIOS into advanced mode.​

2. Set DDR voltage to 1.35V.​

3. Set command rate to 1T (you have 2T currently - this is for 4 module config).​

4. Set ram latency parameters manually to 16-19-19-39.​

5. Set ram frequency to 2400mhz,2666mhz,2933mhz,3000mhz,3200mhz,3400mhz,3600mhz, reboot and test after each change.​

If test fails, then go back to previous settings.​

Is this a 2 sticks kit, or 2 singles put together ?
Exact reference number ?

That's actually very weird, there is no information there. All 4 slots have data missing.

What do you mean by all 4 slots ?
Confirm that your 2 sticks are in A2 and B2 as in your screenshot

My 2 sticks are in A2 and B2. Just the CPU-Z does not show anything in the SPD section:

Anyway - use instructions from post #2.

This is really curious with CPU-Z.
Where did you buy your RAM ?

A major retailer in my country, so that should not be a problem. Anyway, I've ran AIDA64, and it displays SPD:

So, follow SkyNetRising advice in post #2

I've went other way around, I've flashed BIOS to latest version, set XMP profile once again, and set voltage from auto to 1.350V. It worked. It's weird because under XMP profile it shows '1.350V' so I assumed this is set automatically. Or perhaps something changed in the latest BIOS. Anyway, thanks for assistance, I'm all good.

well done 👍

Umm unfortunately it seems that this doesn't work well enough. I've ran memtest, and on 3rd pass I've started to get memory errors. What now? Back to manual approach, step by step? To get as close as possible to XMP settings? Maybe I could use MSI's 'Memory Try It!' feature?

Memory compatibility requires 3 things: CPU (for memory controller), motherboard, and of course DRAM modules. It seems that the best stable setup you will get with that CPU is 3200MHz: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...1700k-processor-16m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz.html

Scroll down to the "Memory Specifications" section.

It doesn't matter what the memory is advertised as if it won't meet the requirements of all three things.
