Hello. New user here, I was instructed to reach out on the forums for help and tips why my system won't boot with XMP enabled.
So, first off, my rig contains:
i7 8700k 6 Core - 12 Threads
Asus Maximus X Code MB
G.Skill TridentZ 4266MHz 16GB (I have two kits equal 32GB atm) F4-4266C19D-16GTZR
MSI RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio
Corsair HX1000i PSU
NZXT Kraken X62 Cooler
Samsung 960 EVO M2 SSD
So, I'll race back to 2018 when I just built this rig, at that time there was only 16GB of ram (same set as now), a GTX 1080 and Corsair 860 PSU, about a year ago I swapped out the 1080 for the 2080 Super. I had not tried to overclock the RAM because the PC worked flawlessly in every game I played at the time, and most games today still is flawless, except for Escape From Tarkov, so a friend of mine told me about getting more RAM, so I got more RAM after trying to overclock it with XMP, with no good effect, wouldnt even boot, just ended back in BIOS, so I tought maybe updating the BIOS would do the trick, but nothing. Then I started to read about those memory sticks, alot people had successfully clocked them to the speed being stable, but I can't reach much more than 2800 DRAM Frequency before the system starts being unstable. Read something about QVL (Did not find my RAM sticks in the list for the Mobo) and tought that was the issue, but read once again it doesn't neccessary mean anything.
While trying to OC the ram, CPU clocks are stock, nothing are overclocked except trying to get RAM up to speed, and choosing the XMP profile gives me XMP DDR4-4273-19-19-19-39 @ 1.4v, but the number is over what my Mobo is specified with (4133) and RAM sticks are specified by (4266)
I've tried so far, CPU SA Voltage of 1.272, VCCIO 1.336 and DRAM Voltage 1.4000, but it just won't boot.
I've also checked the timings which I dont quite understand fully, after reading timings on the stick 19-19-19-39, this is what my BIOS says:
Primary Timings:
DRAM CAS# Latency CHA 14 CHB 14 (19 in the type area)
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay CHA 14 CHB 14 (19 in the type area)
DRAM RAS# ACT Time CHA 33 CHB 33 (39 in the type area)
Is there something im missing? These are the numbers the XMP profile gives me. Im considering building a completely new rig with carefully picked parts just to get more RAM speed, and in general a better and newer system.
