Have you tried enabling XMP, profile 1. When installed the DRAM initially boots to the mobo default (here 2133), need to set it to the proper data rate (also might need a small OC of the CPU to run at 3000

)

I have tried enabling XMP But my PC crashes after around 5 mins with it enabled should i try to OC my CPU a little with it enabled, if you want the crash names i can give them to you.

With XMP enabled can try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05, else try a slight CPU OC

Tradesman1 :

Cant find DRAM Voltage what would it be called?

Tradesman1 · Feb 12, 2016

DDR voltage maybe

Tradesman1 :

Can't find, should i just do a overclock, if i overclock can i overclock high later if i wanted to or do i always have to leave it on a slight overclock?

Tradesman1 · Feb 12, 2016

No, you can always change the OC, I'll pull down a manual and see what I can find.

Looks like the memory settings are in a sub- menu that starts under the setting MEMORYZ

Tradesman1 :

I found the sub menu MEMORYZ and there was nothing that i could change, just info about the ram that was unchangeable, there was RAM Voltage there though.

Tradesman1 :

Should i just try the overclock? I believe you did not get the notification on my last reply.

May want to contact MSI, you should be able to make changes. I don't build on their mobos, primarily due to their poor QC, but they tend to have some quirky and limited BIOSs also

Tradesman1 :

Hello, Very sorry for extremely late response. I am about to OC my CPU should i just turn XMP on after OC and see if it all works out?
Thanks

Are you running 4 sticks? My Asus refuses to allow me to tweak the ram with 4 sticks. With 2 I can tweak. 4 no. Just a thought. And sometimes it's real pretty to allow your ram to relax if you have upwards of 32GB. It's going to be fine. If you have performance issues then consider bumping it up.
