Hi.

I currently have a stable oc with my 6900k at 4.2ghz and 3000mhz using XMP. However my memory supports 3200mhz.

I cant seam to get a stable system with memory clocked at 3200mhz XMP. even if the cpu is at stock speeds and manual set higher voltages.


Any recommendations ?

Hi,
Post to the exact memory kit you have
Might take a picture of the sticks of memory too so we might see the labels.
XMP not too many people use it and just dial in the primary timings and voltages.

Am running G Skill. Tridentz F4-3200C15Q-32GTZ. DDR4-3200. 8GB X4
CL15-15-15-35 1.35V



Im able to pass realbench multiple times. ive ran it for 1 hour segments. However I cant pass aida64 it detects insability within 10 -20 min.

I can however pass aida64 with memory set to 3000 vs 3200 mhz. temp at max is 77-80degrees under stress test.


Ive only used XMP in past is it fairly easy to setup manually ? anyone have a guide available?

Thanks !!

Curious what you find out. I'm using a Gskill Trident Z rgb 16gb x 4 3200mhz CL14 kit on a Rampage V Edition 10 with the 6900k and XMP worked fine out of the box...

XMP didnt work on my TridentZ RGB 3200 CL16 kit with my 6900K.
Tried uping all the voltages but had no luck.
Ended up sticking with the 2400 CL10 kit I had in my 5820K before I went 6900K.

But then my 6900K was a turd. 1.36V for 4.4ghz compared to the 5820K before it that did 4.5ghz on that same voltage.
On a 7900X now and that TridentZ ram kit works with XMP no issues. Even managed to tighten the timings right up to 14/15/14 cl1 with no extra voltage and on mixture of 4.9-5-5.1ghz on 1.36v.

What is your cpu clock speed/volts etc?


As another note. I returned everything as in mother board, Memory, and CPU. Same issue remains.

Everything runs great at 3000mhz setting and using XMP. My cpu is set to 4.3ghz Cache set to 34. 1.2v cpu and 1.25v cache. SA-1v. manual mode and everything else is set to auto pertaining to voltages.

would be good to utilize 3200mhz since i paid for it. not sure it will really help in games (maybe in fallout4). Im running 2 Titan Xp in SLI on air.

6900k is running 4.5 gHz @ 1.4 volts, IIRC cache is set to 34 1.25v but I will need to double check when I am home tonight.

Ah yes, I am running on full open loop, with 2 Titan V's (I was trying to mod them to enable the NVLink connection but it seems to be disabled within the die itself so I am swapping to two Titan Xp tonight).

I'll double check my voltages and report back.

I was considering purchasing 2 Titan Vs. Am glad i didnt now. I wish they had support for 3 and 4 way SLI. even with 2 titan Xp there are games that struggle. Like final fantasy XV i have almost everything maxed 4k hdr and using an sli hack but it will drop fps now and again in heavy situations.

I think the Titans will perform alot better on water. I currently have the star wars editions though was thinking about swapping the coolers to the hybrid water ones.

I also may try for 4.4ghz after i can get the memory dialed in. Not sure i want to do a full custom loop quite yet.

Hi,
Yes they do but watch out on the hybrid kits evga had a lot of bad ones sent out that crapped out 1080ti's

yeah definitely Titans (any of them) deserve full water cooling to really flex their power. The Titan V's screamed with it, and OC'd well. Ended up putting one in a new 8086k build, and didn't have time to mod the Xp's + install waterblocks last night so I'll have to finish that up tonight, but they should do well with the thermal situation addressed.

Did you get your memory situation sorted out?

Keep us updated. Im excited to see the results. And let me know what voltages your using. Thanks.

I upgraded my cooling system to an EKWb X360 extreme kit. I can overclock the CPU to 4.5ghz at 1.34 volts and cache to 3.7ghz at 1.32 volts.

I can run realbench for hours at 3200mhz though will still fail aida 64 after a few minutes.
If i set ram to 3000mhz it will pass aida 64 no problem.

Anyone have ideas ?
