  • Ripjaws 3200 (CL 22) 64GB without XMP

    Hello, friends. I bought a 2x32GB Ripjaws kit for my laptop https://www.gskill.com/specification...-Specification
    My laptop is the MSI Katana GF66 12UG https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Katana-GF.../Specification

    When I entered the advanced bios, I found out that the memory submenu that leads to the memory overclocking section is no longer present (As other users have found https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/...d_on_12th_gen/)

    For some reason, my pc refuses to run stably (It came with and still has Win 11) with the ram. I used HWinfo to find this:Click image for larger version

    However it's not stable and my pc often reboots randomly, with a kernel power error (41) in Event viewer. After multiple days of resetting my pc and troubleshooting all nature of things, I finally figured out that it was caused by the RAM, and running on the stock 2x8 3200MHz RAM made the pc stable again. After this, I tried limiting the maximum frequency of the RAM through the bios (which is the only option available with regards to memory speed) to 2667MHz, at which speed it seems to run stably (so far).

    From what I can see in the RAM specs, xmp isn't specified unlike for the CL16 3200MHz versions https://www.gskill.com/specification...-Specification

    Is there anything you guys can think of that I can do to get it to run at the 3200MHz frequency? memtest86 didn't report any errors either.

    (I dunno why these last 2 pics are sideways, but they're to show you that the memory option isn't available, and that I capped the memory frequency)

    Check with MSI, it is possible the CPU or BIOS needs the DRAM Frequency lower to be stable with 32GB modules.

      The specifications of this SKU do not require a XMP and instead comply with the JEDEC standard profile DDR4-3200AA.

      If MemTest86 passes for multiple cycles and the crashes never have a directly memory related stop code like 0x1A or 0x50, it might be a configuration issue. Since lowering the memory frequency seems to help, it could be voltage related (system agent/memory controller voltage).

      I would second the recommendation to contact MSI support. Since the OC menu and DRAM training options are accessible, there probably is a way to stabilize DDR4-3200 even with higher density/dual rank modules and they should know about the required adjustments.
