Hi everyone,

I recently just upgrade my motherboard, CPU and RAM and began to run into issues non-stop with XMP enabled. My games would crash within 10-30 minutes of playing, when I turned off XMP everything worked fine and haven't crashed since. I was running the RAM at 6000MHZ at 1.35V which I believe which is the default XMP profile for my motherboard, and I'm currently on 4800MHZ without any issues.

Since I know nothing about manually overclocking my RAM manually, I was hoping to get some information on how to do it properly without messing up my system. Any help would be appreciated!

SPECS:
ASUS Prime Z690-A - Motherboard
Intel Core i7-12700K - CPU
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 -GPU
G.Skill RipJaws S5 Series (2 x 16GB) - RAM
EVGA Super Nova 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W - PSU

You need to provide the exact model # of your RAM. Did you check to see if it is on the QVL for the motherboard? If it isn't, there is your problem.

G.Skill RipJaws S5 Series (Intel XMP) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL36-36-36-96 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-6000J3636F16GX2-RS5K

I don't see my memory on the QVL which is here. So, I guess that's my issue?

I have the same board. I had some 5600 Corsair sticks that were Samsung most likely what’s in your ram. I had trouble running 6000. (5600 xmp worked fine though) I have those same sticks in another computer and different z690 board and they are running 6000 at 36-38-38-86. Could try those primary timings see if it works for you.

But with Hynix I can run 6400 no issues. Are you xmp 1? What bios version are you on?

Set XMP and reduce RAM to 5800 and see.

Alright, just finished the changes and will update if its stable. Also, does it matter if my memory was on my motherboards QVL?

Well I think it’s more of right timings for what the board and sticks can run together at then what’s on the qvl. See if 36-38-38-76 works. See what happens. Sounds like it shouldn’t take long to find out if it’s going to fail or go.

Any quick ways to test stability of RAM without having to play games?

there is no quick ways for testing ram stability can be very time consuming. everyone has different ways to testing in which they feel they are stable.

what ever game was crashing in 10-30 min just run that again. testing and playing at the same time much better haha!

you could down load a program called OCCT and run it and do memory test there if you want. the interface is pretty straightforward to use. you should have no problems with that. it will take an hour to run test but you can cancel it anytime. watch memory temps they will creep up doing that also but with those volts and timings should be ok to run up to 60C.

I have a AMD system which is more finicky typically with ram my current 16gb non qvl runs great. Upgraded to 32 another set non qvl 2 weeks of headaches. Never again. Not saying this is the reason for your issues but with systems these days I think they are more sensitive to ram and xmp profiles. PSA want to avoid frustrations just so your 1337 sticks can edge you out 8 extra fps it's not worth it.

I agree for most games XMP isn't that huge and dealing with headaches because of it isn't worth it, but I play Escape from Tarkov which RAM plays a huge part in. I get around 20-30 more FPS with XMP enabled which is great, its the main reason why I'm trying to fix this issue. I don't notice any difference FPS wise on most other games that I play.

i tried shadow of tomb raider with its benchmark. and going from standard 4800 to even 5600 xmp was 10 fps increase. quite abit. as you go up like most things returns will get less and more expensive to do so.

you try games yet?

why not get a hynix kit? whats your price limit?
TeamGroup has $130 hynix kit at 5600 then just increase speed and voltage easy 6000 and higher.
