Why is you ram running at 666mhz by default? or do you mean 1333mhz because the default speed is ddr3 is 1333mhz. Well Im guessing the ram isn't stable with the xmp profile, what brand ram is it and what speed is it rated for?

this is whatthe ram is deafulted at and then when i try to go to 1333mhz it crashes after a few games of destiny 2

probably a ram issue i cant think of anything else, really a odd behaviour. If you can try to get another two sticks of ddr3 ram at 1333mhz and check if that gives issues. before that could you install CPUZ and post a picture here what it says in the memory tab.

looks fine actually, so technically it is running at 1333mhz you have to multiply that by 2, so you are bascially running at 1333mhz already, my bad for not remembering this. to confirm, go to task manager check if it is saying 666 or 1333 under memory -> speed

yes it says 1333Mhz so is it just that my ram cant support my xmp?

Yea looks like it , otherwise it shouldnt be crashing every 10min or so when XMP was enabled.

okay so do i just need better ram?

i forgot to ask what ram is it, make model, you can find it in CPUZ SPD tab

wait thats a 2400mhz corsair kit? whats it doing running at 1333mhz, ok go to bios and try manually setting it to 2400mhz, or 2133mhz instead of using xmp and see if it will be stable.

and also should i up the voltage it is getting?

 

[thomas123321]

Edit: Yea put it to what the ram is rated for, what i know the ram is rated for upto 1.65v

how do i find this?

ok so i put the voltage to 1.65 and do i change the timings?

yup, i edited the timings, do put the right ones

are the timings the tested latency?

 

[thomas123321]

it s whats on the webiste under tech specs, https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...mory-Kit/p/CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R#tab-tech-specs

ok i changed the latency and will report back if anything goes wrong
