Hello,
I have the following kit in my machine:
https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Catego...2GX4M4C3600C18
It is tested at 3600MHz with timings 18-19-19-39 (1.35V) with XMP on.
SPD is at 2133MHz with timings 15-15-15-36 (1.2V) with XMP off (quite a big performance difference).
I was having a few blue screens when gaming with the XMP profile turned on in the BIOS, so I decided to run a memtest86, all tests, 4 passes. It seems like with XMP on test 6 [Block move, 64-byte blocks] regularly fails (no predictable pattern as to which CPU core it will fail on). However, when I turn the XMP profile off and run the same memtest86, I get 0 errors and 100% pass rate.
After reading a few forums, some people suggested manually setting the XMP timings in the BIOS (not sure why this would make a difference)? I did this, and then reran test 6 of memtest86 but it still failed.
Is there anything else I can try as I would quite like to make use of the XMP performance boost. The fact that the RAM produces 0 errors for multiple passes on SPD settings (XMP off) makes me think there isn't a problem with any of the RAM sticks. Is it possble for me to try some sort of intermediate timings?
I have attached reports for the initial tests (XMP on and XMP off) copied from the HTML report generated. And I have attached part of the full log file - I did quite a few experiments with manually setting timings etc. so I just extracted the first 1800 lines of this log as I am limited to only 3 uploads on this post.
Cheers
