So I i noticed it shows a CRC error on the RAM but I still been playing around with it

I just can not get them to run at the stock clocks no matter what

It only works if I drop speeds or Raise timings above CL20

I probably missed something but the poster did start out by saying "if not set to XMP".
XMP raises voltage levels. Those higher voltage levels are needed by most performance memory to reach its rated frequency.

Xmp sets a base line but you can go further with other values inspite of xmp being enabled.

Idk how long youve had them but If within 15-30 days return them as falsly advertised and you didnt get what you paid for.

Those oloys are overrated.

What I was getting at is that if setting everything to auto first, and then enabling XMP, gets your memory stable, there's nothing wrong with the memory.

Ok so thanks to Mr. Sneeky I snagged a new kit of 64GB DDR4. It booted straight up with no issues. Booted at 3200MHz 18-18-18. Loaded some games , firstly Fortnite and I did get drops but they were was less apparent. Before I was getting drops from 120 down to as low as 30. Now I'm seeing drops bottom out at 80 FPS and the gameplay is so much smoother with no lag. I average around 112-120 FPS @4K

Look back through that PM chain if you want to lower the timings. Pretty sure I added that info as to what I could do with them. Oops, I think you are there already, my bad.

Hi,
Nice but it's really a 3200c18 kit just 2x32gb

By the way guess this rules out the board at fault :cool:
It’s stock

2x32GB CL22 but it easily does CL18
